PARIS, November "A new type of

in weight, but possesses great destruc-

chemicals which start fire that can
not be e1tinguished by ordinary means.
Water actually appears to make the

fight the fires is to isolate them.

But many soldiers and sailors are
not blessed with inspiriting CORES

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Open con-
fession Of German plundering in Bel
giuf and of plans to continue it were
made at meeting or the German Econ
omic Commission for Belgium held at
Brussels June 19, 1915.
A German official report of this
meeting has come into possession bf
the Belgian Government and has been
made public here by the British Wire
less Service.
Governor General Won Kissing
stated at the meeting that the short
age of raw materials in Belgium was
partly due to the fact that they were
carried away at the beginning of the
war. Thousands of machines, he said
has been transported to Germany to
make war munitions.
Won Bissing said that he had two
aims, the good of Belgium and the pre-
vention OF any revival Of Belgian in
dustry which could harm German in
dustries. He explained his solici-
tude for the good Of Belgium by add
ing that "a squeezed lemon looses its
value and a bad cow gives no milk.

Two Old Enemies

Previous to the civil war, and generally since then, the sharpest division in congress between the members from the southern states and those of New England states During the war, the men of these sections hated another most cordially. The opprobrium in the name of "Yank" ".as applied to all northern soldiers, directed chiefly at those from the northeastern part of the country. There have been few policies since the which the people of the northeast and the south could bring themselves to agree. Members of both the republican and democratic parties from the western and middle states occasionally fraternized politically but the northeast and the south were generally ilrecon- clabe.
 There is thing, though, which these sections together in the senate-national suffrage. We observe that the votes by which the national suffrage resolution failed on Monday by vote of the necessary two-thirds to make the national suffrage resolution special order in the senate, cast principally by New England and Southern senators. That the resolution will be adopted when it up in regular order is certain, so that the delay enforced by this expression of what may call sectional opposition will be very brief.
 The opopsing senators did not, after all, repre- sent the sentiment of their sections, it correctly interpreted by the house vote on the resolution In that vote the far which represents electoral votes cast only three votes against the suffrage amendment in the house. The middle west exclusive of Ohio, with 1Ol electoral votes, cast only three votes against the amendment ohios delegation was divided eight for and twelve against Every middle Atlantic state gave majority for suffrage, except Delaware.
 Though in the senate the republican stronghold of opposition is in the New England states with forty four electoral votes the representatives in the house from that section cast majority of six in favor of the amendment. The seat of democratic opposition in the senate is in the south Yet only southern states with 1O7 electoral votes majorites against the amendment in the house. Since then one of them Texas, has granted primary suffrage to women, and a majority of the Texas legislators have signed a petition to their senators urging support of the suffrage amendment
