Germans Feared
Reckoning Day

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
BELGIUM, Oct. 25.--An inspection
of numerous German posters in Bel
GUM discloses that wherever the
death penalty for offenses of civil
ians was exacted no signature was
attached. 1t is, therefore, concluded
that no German commander was will
ing to take an individual responsible
ity for such orders possibly fearing
consequences in the future.
This was especially the case of
Bruges, In addition to the visible
evidence it was testified to by NJ.
Echevin, one of the alderman, who
attnded the execution of Captain
Fryatt, the master of the British
steamer Brussels, as the representa-
tive of the city. The alderman said
Capt. Fryatt bravely looked straight
at his firing squad. An hour after
his execution, an order that he be not
shot arrived from Germany. The al
derman said that between $4,000 and
10000 marks monthly were collected
from citizens of Bruges as fines.
Food conditions during the Ger
man occupation, M. Echevin contin-
ued, were not bad because the dis
trict is an agricultural one. There
was no looting in the city before the
Germans left. But there was no use
for any looting, for everything de-
sired by the Germans previously had
been requisitioned, even pianos, pic
lures and frying pans, The last COM
pany leaving the town destroyed ev-
erything the men could reach. They
even went down the streets breaking
windows with their rifle butts.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.


The Presbyterian house of worship
has been completely renovated and
is now ready for occupancy. The
improvements consist of a hardwood
floor throughout, refrescoing Of the
walls and ceiling, installation Of new
lights and repainting of the outside
'front.' The ungainly stairways lead
ing to the balcony have been removed
from the vestibule and comfortable
settee placed at each end of it. The
church is now a thing of beauty, a
credit to the congregation and an
ornament to the town.
The regular meetings for worship
will be resumed, and from now on
there will be services on Sunday
nights. The evening discourses will
not be regular sermons, but sermon
lectures in which the pastor will dis
cuss the great problems of the hour.
Arrangements have been made for
the best music possible at all the SER
vices.
The regular quarterly communion
will be celebrated on November 10th
at the morning hour. The full pro-
gram will be published later.

not enjoy the biggest holiday trade in the history of the

Feared Outbreaks.
On October :, according to the al
derman, the Germans apparently
feared outbreaks, for orders were
posted all overthe town inviting the
people to remain quiet, adding that
the smallest demonstrations would be
dealt with by artillery fire. All res
idents were ordered to remain in
doors from 6 o'clock at night until 8
o'clock in the morning. Those found
in the streets between these times
who were without authorization
would be fired upon, the order added.
An order issued about the same time
provided the death penolty for even
the possession Of a telephone instru-
ment in homes. During the entire
period of occupation no newspaper
but German organs and the Nieuwe
Rotterdam Courant were permitted
to be sold.
The people of the city were re-
quired to move all signs in the French
language and to change the names
of streets to German or Flemish. It
is alleged that Admiral Schroeder
whipped children whose dogs barked
at him. Two girls we're imprisoned
for eight months and given only mil
dewed bread and course beans. They
were accused of writing a letter to
their brother. While in prison they
were told that their brother had been
arrested and would be shot. But la
ter they learned he had been released
after two months.
Before the Germans evacuated
Bruges they issued circulars calling
on all men between the ages Of 16
and 45 years to appear at the office
of the commandment. Only 24O re-
ported. Then German cries went
about the streets, saying that those
who failed to report would be severe
ly dealt with. Six hundred addition
al men answered the call and all
were carted away from the city in
trucks like cattle.
Censorship Severe.
The censorship was severe, accord
ing OF the alderman. Even book
of sermons by Bassent, who lived in
Calvin's time, was sent back to the
publishers with the demand that GER
taip passages be modified by the au-
thor.
The people of Bruges are espec-
tally bitter against some people in
Holland who, they say, held up let
tiers Struggled across the border and
made known the contents to the Ger
mans who punished the writer's.
The Germans removed all brass
from the city, even the hatracks
from the famous cafe Millecolmes.
Prince Adelbert, son of Emperor Will
liam, frequently dined here. Adel-
bert, finding the place crowded with
German officers at one time is re-
ported to have said to his compan-
ions in English, Tets go to some 9TH
er place; this is crawded with boch-
es."
The German officers had gay par

Belgium, having as their guests hun

A WEDDING IN BURMAH.
Marriage of Chinese Educators Son
Was First in Rangoon to Have
Modern Ceremony.

Rangoon Times: The marriage OF
Yeo Chong Chew and Miss Lun 90
Bee, which took place on recent
Saturday and Sunday, was the first
wedding in the Chinese community
of Rangoon to be marked by the
adoption of modern methods. The
bridegroom is the eldest son OF Ieo
Team Ain and the bride is his
fathers adopted daughter, who
came to Rangoon from China less
than a year ago. Y. Team Ain is
the head of the Chinese Educa-
tional Syndicate, which supports
schools for boys and girls in Latter
street and he is also a member OF
the Chinese advisory board, to
which the director OF public in
struction looks for guidance in
matters affecting the education OF
Chinese children.
Saturday the marriage contract
was signed at the Chinese Temple
in the presence of number OF
relativeh and friends. The cere-
monv was much simpler this has
usually been the case. few prayers
being said. Much OF what is re-
garded by strangers (and even by
some Chinese themselves) as the
superstitious part OF the marriage
ceremony was left out. The usual
professions, however, took place
and bands OF music took an import
ant part in the days events. The
following day large number of

where the bride and groom received
the congratulations of their friends,
who included the leading members
OF the Chinese community and
some Europeans.
The bride was very beautifully
attircd in pink silk and the bride
groom wore European clothes, the
traditional mandarin dresses being
dispensed with. The charming
custom OF the bride offering sweets
to all visitors was continued. Many
handsome presents were received.
The visitors came and went from
10 o'clock in the morning till late
in the evening, and music was pro-
vidcd for their entertainment. \

And the same is true OF the old

There is a beauty in ornament
that is to be gainsaid, when it is
handled by a master like Sir Christ
opher Wren or Thomas Sherton,
but even these masters based their
work on a fundamental simplicity.
And for us who are not masters,
simplicity in art. as in manners,
character, and dress, is the safest
and Sanest criterion, from which we
may depart only when there is a
genuine reason for so doing.
Self restraint, which is an essen

mands greater strength of character
and higher moral and artistic ideals
than those Shower attributes which
are, in the last analysis, merely pre-
