Special Correspondence of Thu Star.
PARIS, January 25.-A Hollander, who
is competent witness, has this to tell
of a recent visit to Belgium in parts
jealousy guarded by the German au-
thorities:
'The present governor general, Won
Falkenhausen, is severer even than
Won Bissing, who executed Miss Cavell.
At the beginning, to terrorize the in
habitants, the names of those who were
shot by his feldgrauen were posted up
on city and village wallis AS this only
excited the people, the victims are now
judged in secret, and condemned and
shot in secret, and buried where the
people cannot honor their graves.
''The Christmas holidays were inau-
gurated at Client by a whole series of
executions. There was a Ho1lander who
was shot with the rest, I met friend,
who had been imprisoned at Antwerp.
Just across from his cell three. .Belgians
were waiting to be shot-and they
knew their fate. From day to day the
German authorities delayed the execu-
ton. One of the wretched men, in a
few days time. grew thin as a skele-
ton.
"One morning the report was mur-
INJURED through the prison: They have
been to confession Then all waited
in silence for the three young lives to
be cut short. At last the grinding OF
the prison doors was heard and every
one knew they were marching the pris-
oners to their death. Never, said my
friend. shall I forget that day.
'On the ramparts of Bruges I have
seen little old women wrapped in their

Eight-Hour Law Unnecessary.

To the Editor OF The Star:
The eight-hour amendment is unnec-
essary because the heads Of depart
ments already have authority to ex-
tend the hours of labor beyond seven,
and that, too, without extra pay (Act
of March Is. 1898; 80 Stat, 316, sec. y.
In the cases of some offices and indi-
viduals the hours are occasionally ex-
tended. If further extension were nee
essary or advisable. such extension
ments are deeply interested in not al
lowing the work to get behind.
The injustice of the proposition is ap-
parent when it is remembered that the
clerks are working for the same old
effect July !, 1853. with the exception of
the little and 10 per cent increase ap-
plicable to portions of the service.
AS rule the government clerks are
educated experts whose services are in
dispensable. 1t is very difficult now to
get good people to fill vacancies. Con-
trast the condition of the government
clerks with that of the Regular Army
officers. The latter are educated at
government expense and retired on
two, with three-fourths pay and per-
quisites. In most cases they are pro-
NOTED shortly before retirement so as
not to have any cut in their Pay.
II eight hours should increase the
output. that product would be less val
liable. After seven hours of continu-
Gus mental strair the mind ceases to
do accurate and valuable work. Such
work is not comparable with the longer
hours of farmers working in the open
mental activity.

RESTING COMFORTABLY TODAY
No Complications Noted in Senator
Chamberlain's Condition.

Senator Chamberlain, chairman Of the
military affairs committee, who was
operated upon yesterday afternoon for
appendicitis at Providence Hospital. to-
day was reported to be resting as COM
fortably as could be expected after such
an operation. No complications have de-
veloped and his physicians expressed
themselves as satisfied with the prog
ress he is making. He passed a fairly
comfortable night.
The operation was performed in the
nick of time, it was said. Had another
twenty-four hours gon by, it is prob
able that the appendix would have
burst.

Hope and Inspiration.

Think of the hope and the inspira-
ton that come to you meditating on
this declaration that God made about
Job" Mr.. Sunday advised his hearers.
IF Job could please God back there
in those dark days. you and L can
please him down here tonight, with
all the enlightenment and incentives
that we enjoy.
ITO know that it is possible for one
man or woman to please God is to
know that any man or woman that
lives can please God. What one did
"The Bible does not say that Job was
perfect in the sight of man. Jesus
Christ was not. They called him a
wine bibber and they cursed him and
blasphemed him. SO he was not per-
feet in the sight of man, but he was
perfect in the sight of God.
IF 1 thought that I had to please
everybody or miss heaven. I would
throw up the sponge now and take
the count. and if l were to please
everybody 1 would miss heaven.
Without Church Privilege.
Job lived before one line of the
Bible was written. He had no church
to attend. He never heard a sermon.
He never was in a revival. He never
saw a tabernacle. He never saw

no young peoples societies. He had
no young fellow like Paul had to COM
fort him. No religious history to go
by; no book of martyrs to tell how
others suffered and to inspire him to do
likewise, and yet every day he just
pleased God.
There is not a man or woman look
ing in my face that has not the ad-
vantage over Job in ten thousand ways.
What little help he had to be decent
and good, compared with what we en-
joy today. and yet when you line up
the best man today and put him by the
side of Job, he looks like plugged

Is ACCUSED OF LARCENY.
Louis Ruggiano Arrested on Charge
of Stealing Reyolvers.

Louis Ruggiano, thirty-one years old,
who was watchman in the employ
of Adams Express Company and re-
sides at 617 I'd street northeast, was
arrested last night by Detectives Baur
and Sweeney and charged with the lar
ceny of a number of revolvers. The
weapons were taken from an express
car in November. according 10 the ex-
press compary's complaint, and it is
charged that Ruggiano sold several Of
them. He denies the charge.
In order to get possession of the
weapons, it is stated, it was necessary
to break the seal on. the express car,
and the individual who took the revol-
vers overlooked a package conta lining
$4,000 worth of diamonds. Four of the
revolvers have been recovered of per-
sons who, it is charged, purchased them
from the defendant Ruggiano probably
will be given hearing in Police Court

A precedent in Sunday evangelistic cam

The special finance committee announc-
ed today that collections will be continued
'i.or a few days longer" They were to

omitted for one day.
Chairmen Join in Statement.
Charles Henry Butler, chairman of the
special cleanup committee; Merritt 0.
Chance, chairman. and John c. Let's,
treasurer of the general campaign COM
mittee, today issued a statement regard
ing the matter which runs. in part, as
follows:
Eight days ago the committee an
nounced a deficiency of $4,000 and asked
the public to make it good. The appeal
has been generously responded to. Nearly
half of the amount requested was con-
tributed outside the Tabernacle, and the
increased daily collections nearly made
up the other half.
about 800 below the amount requested.
The committee earnestly requests the at
tendants at the Tabernacle to make the
collections during this week as large as
possible, and if the response will be as
hearty from now on as it was last week
there is no doubt that the desired amount
will be raised by next Sunday evening.
Meanwhile any one desiring to do so may
send a check to the order of John c.
Let's treasurer, 900 F street northwest,
or to Charles Henry Butler, 1885 l street
northwest.
Mr.. Sunday's>visit to Washington
has indeed been blessing to the COM
munity, and every one in the District
should consider it a privilege to help
defray the cost"
One business man much interested in
the campaign, who has done even more
than his part, says the collections re-
mind him of the well known mathemat-
ical example of the man who paid one
half of the remainder of a debt each
day. He came awfully close to squar-
ing up, but never quite made it.
Billy says he knows that unusual de-
mands have been made on Washington
pocketbooks within the last year, but
is confident that the capital will come
across"
