zle of a field piece, rusted and use
less, points to the sky.
Much of the debris of the battle
field has already been collected.
Miles upon miles of barbed wire
have been reclaimed from the en-
tanglements, German and allied,
which stretched in front of the lines
but at some points along the river
bank the old entanglements still re-
main, rusted and twisted on stakes
which are fast falling into the
ground. There are great piles of
reeled wire which has not been un-
wound since it left the wire mills,
while the military telephone sys-
TENS are still stretched upon short
stakes.
The people Of Dixmude, like the
people of every other destroyed Bel
gian town, are gradually returning
to the ruins of their homes. The
help being given them by the gov
eminent is giving them heart and
strength to begin life over again.
Here one may see a man patching
up a shell hole in his house with ID
few bricks taken from the ruins of
his neighbours home, and in another
place men, and women, too, are
patching a roof.
But these instances are few In
most cases the destruction was so
complete that nothing is left for the
poor Belgian but to build a new
house.
But the people are happy and
cheerful. They go about their work
with smiling faces and merry laugh
ter. They are back home.

BERLIN May LOSE
PRESTIGE AS CITY
UNSETTLED CONDITIONS CAUSE
FEAR THAT INDUSTRY WILL
DESERT CAPITAL

BERLIN, Oct. 2t.-Under the
caption of ''The Murder of Berlin"
the Boersen Zeitung, one of the
ablest German newspapers, says the
fate of the city Is in the balance
and that 1t is perhaps too late to
save 1t from becoming a city Of the
second class in every respect, with
the removal of the capital and the
activity in a business and political
sense to some Rhineland city. 1t is
a theory that has been gaining
ground lately and causing Berlin to
lose sleep.
Zone day." the financial paper
adds. there will be a fearful awak-
ening if the problem that confronts
us is not recognized and solved at
the twelfth hour. The problem is
to save Berlin from destruction"
The paper then cites that Janu-
airy riots by the Spartacists, from
the wounds of which Berlin has
never recovered. Then came the
March disorders. followed by the
July transportation strike which
threw Berlin into a chaotic state.
The strikes then ensued one after
another in an endless succession.
The uncertainty of the economic sit
uation led to almost a bOycotting of
Berlin as the chief work center of
Germany. for industry had to be
sure of quiet and order in its search
for labor, and Berlin daily was the
opposite.
Despite the huge expense, one In
dustry after another left Berlin for
qu~ieter, steadier fields. Now the
winter months are coming, already
full of threats of uprisings and
strikes.
Merchants, politicians and indus
trial leaders have predicted that the
transfer of the assembly or reich
stag, would inflict a severe blow
upon Berlin, especially if it should
lead to the choice of another capt.
tai.
The label imperial capital" and
its enormous labor possibilities have
been Berlin's chief claims to super
iority. 1t has been the industrial
heart of the empire. Yet, say man
ufacturers, labor is now systematic
ally tanning industry and destroying
1t.

10000 CHILDREN
LOOK FOR PARENTS
POLISH CHILDREN LOST IN TIKI.
GREAT GERMAN DRIVE ARE
i.EING CLAIMED

WARSAW, Oct. 16.-Names and
faces of streams of returning refu-
gees are being eagerly scanned by
Red Cross workers in every city of
Poland each day in search for the
parents of 10000 unclaimed chill
dren, lost in the chaos of the Ger
man drive of 1918.
Every day, from among the
starved ranks of the wanderers,
some worn woman or broken father
clasps the thin waif from whom
they were mercilessly torn almost
three years ago-a reunion that
takes place as often as not in some
Red Cross refugee station. There
are thousands who will eve be
claimed, for their parents, driven
away when the Germans came,
found only temporary safety in
Russia where they were caught in
the web of anarchy and suffered
death in the days of Russiansterror.
All of the children are now un-
der the care of the American Red
Cross and such supplies as are avail
able have been devoted to their
needs. But for the thousands who
will never again be united with
their parents. more than temporary
aid is needed. Some permanent in
stitutional scheme will have to be
devised, but this must wait more
normal times than the present.
Unless rescued from actual starv-
alton and nakedness and mothered
by the outside world, until they are
strong again. these children will
bear the marks of war for the rest
of their lives. Anaemia, ricketts,, tu-
berculosis and kindred diseases,
fast becoming chronic will forever
handicap them.

HUNGARYRECE|vtS
RED CROSS HELP
SUPPLIES VALUED AT $3.50, 900
SHIPPED INTO BUDA-
PEST

PARIS, Oct. Hungary is the
first of the late Central powers to
receive an official commission of
the American Red Cross for civilian
work. To meet the urgent need for
medical and surgical supplies in
the hospitals of Budapest, a train
of 80 cars in charge of a unit of IL
American officers has been sent
from Paris. The supplies carried
are valued at S350.000.
The unit Is IN charge of Major
s. A. Moffatt. of Brooklyn, and Ma
jor b. B. Metheany of Seattle. both
of whom have had long experience
in relief work in France. The trans
%portation is under Captain H. H,
Kidder, Of Maryhill. Wash, and
the personnel is under Captain How
ard Armstrong of Buffalo. Other
members of the unit are: Leuten-
ant John A. Langston, of Cleburne,
Texas; Lieutenant Frederick H.
Mead of Troy, N. Y; Lieutenant
William Hosie of Troy, N. Y; Lieu
tenant L. E. Walsh of Amherst,
Mass; Lieutenant v. j. Oldshue OF
Pittsburg; and Sergeant R.. D.
Heimbach of San Francisco.
The commission was sent to
Budapest at the request of the in
ter-allied commission in Paris. Hos
pitfalls in Budapest were reported to
be crowded to overlooking but with
out the barest necessities. A re-
port on the situation in Budapest
sent to Paris by one of the advance
agents of the American Red Cross
says:
Hungary today seems the least
able of n of the defeated nations
to right itself and resume its place
among the people of the world.
Budapest, the capital, finds itself
face to face with famine, its citizens
lacking not only food, coal and
clothing but it's sick dying for want
of medicines and the means for sur
geons to operate.
"The hospitals still have hun-
dreds of wounded men, but most
of the patients are civilian sick
men. and children-whose
constitutions have been undermined
by war. Sugar, milk, cocoa, choco-
late and other d~elicacies so neces-
sary for the upbuilding of the sick
are practically unobtainab1e."

German Farminu Methods

Germany may have led the world in some branches of technical skill but her farming methods left much to be desired if the bitter contempt poured upon them by a Bunyip soldier can serve as standard. Bunyip, Victoria, Australia, is proud of it's knowledge of soil culture, and IT months spent as prisoner of war at threepence a day on a farm in Silesia, Germany, made one of it's finest citizens more convinced than ever that Bunyip is al- ways best. When he returned to Australia and applied for a farm he was asked, as a joke, if he could give a reference from his previous en- ployer His reply would have been gall and wOrmwood to the Silesian.

DEGENERACY DUE TO WEALTH
People of Sytaris Allowed Their Char acter to Be Slapped by Love
 of Luxury.

The present meaning of the word sybarite is a person devoted to luxury and pleasure. It is derived from the ancient city of Sybaris, situated in southern Italy near to the shores of the Gulf of TarantO. It was founded by the Greeks 72O B. c. and became very powerful. In the days of it's Opulence it was ruler over four nations with their p towns and could raise an army of 30O,0O0 men and equip them well for the field. The walls surrounding the city were said to extend six miles and the suburbs covered an area of seven miles. Ii was the old story, however. for as the city grew in wealth it's people deg2n- erated and became noted for eifem macy and Solf-indulgence, and it i% told of them that no trade that made d noise was allowed within the city limits. Seneca tells the story that one of the SybariteS complained that he had not rested comfortably during tn o whole night, and upon being asked why, he stated th"t he had found a rose leaf doubled up under hS pill low, which had hurt him pain fully. Thus it is easy to see how the word sybaritc has been bestowed upu" one who lives fer pleasure and self, qualification.

 The borough and town experienced on Monday evening the most notable flood of 1877. That little damage was done is due to the fact that better dams now stand. The water rose over the west wing of the Granite mill dam for considerable length of time. The rain, which began Sunday evening fell almost necessarily du- ring Monday until 10 o'clock in the evening. The ground being frozen absorbed little of the water, and the already full stream found the surplus too great for the ordinary channels. By evening there was a general alarm for the safety of dams and buildings The basement of the Central House and the bank building and other buildings were flooded. Six families in tenements on River street were re- moved through water two to four feet in depth. The middle river, although at high water mark, did not give oc- casion for alarm. There was a gen. eral feeling of relief when the rain fall al ated.
