LIEGE, April 20 Correspondence Of
the Associated Press).-Along the
route from devastated Louvain to this
desolate city tall smokeless chimneys
line the formerly prosperous valley Of
the Meuse. Idle coal mines, huge
plants which belched fire and sizzled
with the gurgle Of the melting lead
and the boiling steel are now silent
and abandoned. There Is no outward
visible sign of devastation, but So
perficial examination of the inside Of
the plants reveals the fact that this
district has been stripped as thor
oughly and more systematically than
the line of battle twhere the cannon
roared for four years.
A manager of one plant expressed
himself as more than disillusioned:
Times have changed since the armis-
tice when Belgium was everywhere
cited as incarnating the very spirit
Of patriotism and heroism, when
promises were made ths< fshting
would go on until Belgium should be

The American women who want

and others who are here. They. too.
are self-reliant and Independent. but
when they doff their uniforms and go

their very little leisure time in the
gayeties of the city they feel they
ought to subscribe to the conventions.
