BELGIAN TELLS
Of FIRST DAYS
OF WORLD WAR

NEW YORk.-Lieutenan
Baron Jacques, who, according to
his own assertion, occupied the
front seat in the front row" when
the Germans opened the great inter
national show" in 1914, is the
most striking member of the suite
which is accompanying King Albert
of Belgium on his visit in the United
States. Tall, straight as an arrow,
General Jacques looks like the fight
ing man he is and has been from
boyhood, for he is one of the pro-
fessional soldiers upon whom Bel
GUM relied when it made the great
decision which held up the German
army until French and British SOL
diers could get into action.
General jacques was in command
of the Twelfth regiment, one of the
crack military organizations of Bel
GUM. and was stationed at Liege.

own men," said the general, as he
sat in his plainly-furnished cabin on
board the George Washington on
the voyage to New York and talked
of the early days of the war.
1--WE first came in contact with
the Germans on the bridge at Wise,
and after a sharp fight drove them
back, capturing the flag Of the 9th
Brandenburg regiment.
THAT fight aroused the people.
and Immediately we had more than
a thousand civilian volunteers, dig
ging trenches and helping in every
way possible. General Leman issued
a proclamation in which he said
Big Germany has invaded our coun-
try, imposing an ultimatum which
constitutes an outrage. Little Bel
GUM proudly accepts the challenge.
The Belgian army will do its duty.
The people of Liege only ask to be
allowed to do theirs"
During the discouraging days
which followed, when the Belgian
army was compelled to retire from
place TO place until it at last had
to give UP Antwerp and begin its
slow retreat along the coast, Gen
eral Jacques never doubted the fina,
outcome. and encouraged his mer
by pointing out that when they
reached the User river the backward
movement would end. And SO il

The Problem Of Today

The following which appeared as the ad
of one of our local banks recently IS about
the finest thing Of the kind have seen and
I'm printing it that it may Ego home to the
people of this community. Here it is:
If we are to keep off the rocks, the world
must produce more. The reason why wages
will not buy enough is because there IS not
enough to buy; for five years millions OF
men who ought to have been working have
been fighting. The only cure is production.
Readjustments of pay can only divide IN
some other way what we have got already;
the trouble is there is not enough to divide.
Men need more goods, not more pay. To
try to take care of working people by in
|creasing wages in world with too little
grain and meat too little cotton and wooden
cloth, too little stone and brick and lumber
to build homes and too little coal to keep
them warm, is as foolish as to try to increase
the ration of hungry baby by putting a
two-quart label on a quart bottle Of milk.
People need not more dollars but more
things. These things can only come from
farms, mines factories, forests. Croesus
himself could not buy what did not exist.
The first necessity is more goods. To halt
production is treason to humanity; to slow
it down is disloyalty; to increase it is pat
riotism. PRODUCE!

SKINNY DANCE AROUSEs
THE CHURCH.

In the north and east and
even in some parts of the south
the old world is getting so very
broad" and liberal that
some of the churches have
been contending that the
young folks should be amused
and entertained, that it is
wrong for the church to be so
narrow as to put a ban on
the dance. But these very
broad" and liberal churches
have got their feet in the
shine pit so that they are hav-
ing a hard time of it to find
themselves. nThe Jazz, the
"shimmie" Bd spther of those
latest "implhI6d" dances have
come in to worry these liber-
alists. and in many places they
are trying to organize to
handle the situation.
From one of these liberalists
who argued that the young
people should be allowed to
dance comes this remarkable
statement as he writes in the
October issue of a prominent
monthly. Here Is what he says:
with the exception of some
isolated or unusually we'll
guarded districts our young
people have gone literally mad
over the cabaret style of social
dance. This is now by far the
most battling problems of
yonng society. Not a few min
listers will take issue with me
on this point. But | ask all such
to sit close by and study care
fully the psychology and the
physiology of this new TWEEN
tieth century form of intoxica-
ton. Let them consider close
