through cheering crowds II Is strange
and chilling TO pass now through crowds
which only stand and stare.
Leaving the British lines for a little
way. / went this morning to Aix-la-
Chapelle (Aachen, as 1t is called in Ger
man) and saw the entry of the Belgian
army of occupation. They came with
bugles playing and their officers rode
with drawn swords and the men marched
through at a quick pace with their
colors flying. One German boy failed
to take off his hat to the colors and a
Belgian soldier plucked It off and said :
Salute the Belgian flag"
on the walls were the post ers which
have turned the tables on the Germans,
point by point, as they had ruled in the
Belgian towns. All hats are to be taken
off when Belgian officers pass: all the
people are to remain indoors from in
the evening until s in the morning; all
theatres and cafes are to be closed until
further order; any man found with arms
is liable TO be shot at once.
The people of Aachen knew the mean
Ing of defeat when they saw the Bel
gians enter their city. They knew that
these men were their masters. who would
order their way of life, and have them
al their mercy. I think they were
afraid; but they lined up In the streets
to watch the passing of the troops and
were calm and put a good face upon
this tragedy of theirs.
/ saw one girl close to me weeping.
One by one the tears swelled into her
eyes and fell as she stared, quite mo-
'ionless But I saw no other tears
Some of these German women found II
In their hearts to smile and others had
proud faces. which did not show any
emotion of hostility or sorrow.
The Belgian bugles blew through the
streets of Aachen. and afterward the
people went about their business as
though nothing new had befallen them.
Germans Praying for Peace
went to the old cathedral and found
many people praying there under the
arches and between the pillars, which
were built 1901 years ago by Charle-
magne, whose body lay there. and whose
throne looking down upon the high
altar, is still there, as when the EN-
peror OF the Franks sat there and
plucked his fiaxen beard and saw the

Germans Forced to
Salute Belgian Flag

Continued from Page One
men stepped out to dance like their
Youngest boys with English and Scot
tish soldiers and English, French, Ital-
ian and Russian prisoners.
The town band was wonderful. There
were twenty musicians, old and young.
who wore chimney pot hats and
bowler hats and frock coats and tail
coats, and blew their brass instru-
ments with indefatigable spirit. They
were like twenty Pied Pipers, and
wherever they went tens Of thousands
of people followed them. dancing.
They led us through the Place verte
to the Place du Martyr and in and out
of this street and that and round about
and back again, and young Scots
linked up arms with bright-eyed Bel
gian girls and with their young
mothers and old grandmothers while
the ex-prisoners Of the Entente armies
were seized bv fathers of families and
veterans Of 1870 and rich young ladies
and little school girls, SO that the vast
mob were all holding each other in a
general embrace, dancing, sixteen
abreast or in ladies' chains, from one
square to another.
All Sang MA Jeanette"
And while the band played and led
the dance they skipped after It and
sang the little old tune of
Ma jeanette. ei Avanti
Ma Jeanette
Ma Jeanette!
% RGur 7IsIst.. Is R2i ct le Drapeaul
A rAssaut!
Shops and theatres and town hall and
restaurants of this frontier town of Ver-
viefs were lit UP by colored ilumina-
tions, which twinkled out of the dark
ness of the night. flinging a bright light
( on the old roofs and churches and the
tall, straight tower in the market place
and putting sparkle in the eyes Of all
these merrSmakers and Pickering on
their faces as. they swirled about.
This is better than Ypres," said one
of the Scots as he wiped the beads of
perspiration from his face and neck "It
does US a bit of good, after all we've
heen through"
4 1t was infectious. I found myself
with both arms linked In the midst of
the dancers and singing MA Jeanette
in the chorus of the crowd and dancing
like a giddy goat to the tune of Pans
pipes as those pled-pipers in chimney
pot hats went marching through the
streets and squares.
As we danced up one street. 10000
people came dancing down another, and
the dancers met like two rivers and
swirled through each other. Then fairy
rings were made by family parties and
many different armies and peoples, and
the soldiers chose their partners and
entered into the fun of 1t, all like chill
dren around a Christmas tree
1t was better than Ypres; 1t was bet.
ter than the dance of death Of the old
battlefields; 1t was humanity again in
stead of desolation of No Mans Land.
This morning I went across the from
tier again into Germany, where there is
no more dancing and no cheering and no
futter of flags, but the sadness of de-
feated people whose country is being
occupied by foreign troops. The con-
trast of this joy on one side Of the
Invisible line and this sadness on the
other side Is as sharp as the edge of
the hangman's axe which was turned
when the condemned man passed to the
scaffold.

Stop using calomel! It makes you sick. Don't lose a days work. If~gou feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or consti- pated, listen to me!
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver, which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into it, break ing it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are "all knocked out" if your liver is torpid and bowels constipated or you have headache, dizziness, coated ton que, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dod- sons Liver Tone.
 Here's my guarantee-Go to any drug store and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents. Take a spoonful tonight. and if it doesn't

Like all men, since the days of Adam, he laid the odum upon the women, SD many of whom have taken the places of men clerks. These women, he says, are bound to show the young man who.comes to buy the pink and glaring blue creations" and they, of course, cannot dispute the opinion taht such colors are just their style, and so having bought will have to wear the gay necktieS.

ATTITUDE GERMAN
 OFFICERS CHANGED
CLAIMS GERMANY ENTERED WAR WITH ENTHUSIASM, BUT THIS
 HAS DISAPPEARED.
HOPE OF VICTORY IS LOST
They Are Aware That Acerican Army Now Has Assumed Very Formida- ble Proportions and Seriousness
 of This Factor Is Admitted.

British Army Headquarters in France.-The demeanor of hundreds of German officers taken prisoner re- gently is in striking contrast with the attitude of officers captured during the British retreat last spring. Then gant and meant to crush the British to earth, but now they are depressed and very anxious. They appear very willing to talk and the tenor of their conversation may be summed up as follows:
 They say Germany entered the war with enthusiasm but this has long since disappeared and the struggle has now become an economic one, with Great Britain.
 They admit that Germany is in practically hopeless condition, both economically and from the manpower point of view and ask whether Ger many sufficiently reduced to be no longer a dangerous trade rival or whether the allies intend to crush her altogether. In the latter case. they say, Germany will be forced to fight to the last, but they make no efort to conceal their impression of what this means for the fatherland.
 They say they believe there is ev- cry disposition to evacuate Belgium and Northern France, and even nego- tiate for the retention or evacuation of Alsace Lorraine.
 They are generally unanimous in agreeing that exactions thus far made and the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty were great mistakes, but think they cannot withdraw from Russia in the present condition of affairs there.
 They are aware that the American army now has assumed very formid- able proportions and there is a gen eral admission of the seriousness Of this factor.
 The submarine campaign they can- not refer to without gestures of im- patience.
 J. Captured noncommissioned officers attribute recent German defeats to the inefficiency of their air service and more especially to the ineXper- ince and lack of stamina of the lac- est recruits, who are most inadequate ly drilled and trained and who are physically incapable of sustaining the heavy strain of defensive warfare. The mere presence of these new re cruits, they say. produces in com pany demoralizing effect upon the older men, because it indicates to what straits Germany must be reduc- ed to employ such poor material

Father was sitting in the den taking peaceful smoke, when there came from the parlor noise that sounded like cross between the sigh of pine tree and the wall of locomotive. With something akin to strong language he rose and went downstairs. In the hall he met his daughter.
