the flames were already we'll under way.

There was some little trouble with
the whistle, but the shrill warning was

the rescue, the barn was burned prac-

HAS BIG TASK AHEAD
Belgium Begins Figuring Damage,
Done by Germans.
Council of Ministers Adopts Measures
for Verifying All Claims
That Appear.

Washington, Oct. 21.-A cablegram
received by the Belgian legation says
the Belgian government already has
taken steps to compute the enormous
total of the damage done to property
in Belgium by the Germans during
their occupation of the country.
The council Of ministers met at
Havre and adopted measures for veri-
flying claims for damages to civilian
and public property. These will be
employed as a means for determining
the total compensation to be demanded
from Germany.
The assembly also discussed meas
ures for insuring the resumption of
the circulation of Belgian coinage in
the liberated territory, the cablegram
said, and decided on various modi-
fcations of the communal law to meet
the changes in the internal situation
due to the German evacuation.
I'm order to demonstrate it's graft
tude and admiration for the army"
the message adds, ''the assembly took
under consideration a plan which
would greatly increase the compensa-
ton to the families of the militia"

RAIL EARNINGS GROW
Increase Is Due to Higher Pas
Sengef and Freight Rates.
Government Expenditures for Eight
Months Are 5000, ooo,o 900 More
Than Receipts.

Washington, Oct. Fl. - Reports OF
railway earnings to the interstate
commerce commission show increased
returns from higher passenger and
freight rates for the first time.
Compilations by the commission for
August show an operating income of
$128, 900 for that month, or $24,-
100000 more than in August, 1917.
Operating revenues jumped to $780,
100000, which was $136,000,000 more
than in August last year. At the same
time, however, expenses increased to
$358,987,0 900 or $112,000,000 more than
in August, 1917.
The report indicated also that the
government has paid railroads in com
pensation in the eight months ending
with August nearly $200,000,000 more
than it has received as net operating
income
The influence of rate increases is
shown by the item of freight revenues
in August, amounting to $349,816,O0O
as compared with $25O,281, 900 in Au-
gust, 1917 Passenger revenues
amounted to $113,651, 900 as compared

Allied Armies Are Successful in
Every Clash With Retir-
ing Germans.
LARGE FORCE CUT OFF
Fifteen Thousand Enemy Soldiers
Finding Their Retreat Blocked,
Are Said to Have En-
tered Holland.

London, Oct. 21.-The Allied armies
continue victorious on every battle
front. Northern Belgium is being
rapidly cleared Of the Germans by
Belgian and British forces.
Belgians have occupied Zeebrugge
and Heyst, have crossed the Client
Bruges canal and on their left have
reached the Dutch frontier, where
$4,000 Germans, cut off from their re-
treat by the advance northward from
Eecloo, are reported to have with
drawn into Holland, where they were
interned.
French Nearing Journal.
Client, it is predicted from British
headquarters, will fall at an early date,
and the French, by a swift stroke
along an extending line, have put their
forces within two miles of Journal.
Thielt is in the hands of the French,
despite stubborn enemy resistance, as
we'll as the high ground roundabout.
British troops have crossed the Selle
river, have reconquered Solesmes and
have had hard fighting not only in
the section around that town, but at
ST. Python, to the east. Here the Brit
ish have captured more than 1000 pris-
oners.
Since the beginning of operations in
Flanders the Allies have made an adj
vance of more than 80 miles over &c.
mile front, clearing all of Western
Flanders, as well as the coast Of the
enemy.
Foe Masses Half Million Men.
Fighting desperately to hold their
positions to the north and south of LIE
Cateau, the Germans on a front of 40
miles have massed nearly half mil
lion men. This line is vital to the Ger
mans, but is just as vital to the sue
cess of the Allied arms. which are
steadily pushing the enemy back and
breaking through at strategical points.
The British Third army is smashing
it's way forward south of Valencinnes.
Success so far has attended this effort
and the turning of this line will prove
a source of great danger to vast
masses of German troops holding the
territory to the north and south.
Americans Occupy Reject.
The American forces operating in
conjunction with the British north of
Wassigny have advanced to the Sa-
mure-Oise canal. They occupied Reject,
east of ST. Souplet, at the point Of
the baynet. Wave after wave Of ma
chine gunners faced the Americans,
who inflicted enormous losses on
them. West of the Mouse American
activity was confined to the consolida-
ton of positions captured from the
Germans.

The Az of kindneas.

AS an elderly married couple were
passing up a street, lady on the OPP
posite side stubbed her toe and fell
down.
The old gentleman rushed across
the street, raised his hat, and offered
to assist her in any possible way.
The wife followed him across at
slow pace, and, witnessing his devo-
ton to the stranger, she got mad, and
shook her fist at him.

Washington, Oct. 81. - When the
three weeks campaign closed oversub-
scription of the Fourth Liberty Loan
appeared assured.
While official reports were lacking,
it appeared that again the American
people had given to their government
not only what was asked, but more
than was asked in order that the war
against Germany and her allies might
be carried to a successful conclusion.
How far the total will run above the
Sc, O0,OOO,00O goal officials would not
attempt to estimate 1t all depends,
they said, on whether big financial in
terests at the last moment file the big
lump sum subscriptions expected of
them and whether the number of
smaller subscriptions by individuals is
found to meet expectations.
Billion and Half in Day.
New subscriptions entered on the
last day and those made effective by
payment of the 10 per cent install
and half dollars for the entire ma
ton, it was said.
For the next five days banks in ev-
cry city and town in the United States
will be busy adding up subscriptions.
Reports and payments then must be
made to federal reserve banks which
are expected to take at least five days
more to report to the treasury.
100000 Subscribers.
Indications are that the number of
individual subscribers will far exceed
100000 and break all records for
distribution of war bonds for this ma
ton or any other.
The honor roll of bond buyers will
include many who have not partici-
pated in the first, second or third Lib
erty Loans, officials said
It will bear the names of subjects of
other governments neutral and bellig-
erent, throughout the world. Ger
mans, interned in camps in this coun-
try, and other whose sympathy is not
with their native land, will be enrolled.

Aerial Bombing.

Aerial bombing is today far more
of an exact science than was sup
posed possible a year and a half ago.
In the early days Of the war, drop
ping bombs was largely a matter Of
luck. Accurate bomb-sights have
been produced which, carefully used,
are a guarantee of the bomb falling
on the object aimed at, with a very
small margin of error. OF course, in
the case Of all such instruments, the
human element Is sometimes respon-
sible for errors Of calculation and
small error on a bomb-sight at $1,000
feet will send bomb far out Of It's
course.

No Fees for Collecting.

Washington, Oct 21-The public
has been asked by the War depart
ment to bring to it's attention any in
stance of persons seeking fees for col
lecting insurance or allotments of SOL
diers who have died in the service.
Renewed assurance was, given that
the government will make settlements
in such cases without outside inter
vention, and that beneficiaries who
want legal advice may obtain it with
out charge from draft district legal
advisory boards.

Women Stay in Barred Zone.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Few Germans
women have been forced to move out
of barred zones about encampments,
munition factories and other important
war institutions, as a result Of the ex-
tension to them of the restrictions
heretofore applying only to German
males. Reports to the Department of
Justice indicate that nearly all who
lived within these zones have proven
their 1aw-abiding intent, and have
been granted permits by United States
marshals to continue their residence.
