 A the Belgians after being held H by the Germans for more
 than four years, has been called the most Flemish of all the cities of Flanders, both in its appear ance and its people. It is the capital of East Flanders. located at the con- fluence of the Lys and the Scheldt, 31 miles northwest of Brussels. It has been called by travellers the Flemish Venice, being interseeted by num- Der of streams and canals with more than 250 bridges.
 The town should have close to 200. 900 people, but the German occupation checked it's growth and scattered it's people.
 The city is interesting IS an arehi tectural study, its leading buildings representing many periods and schools
 Among the churches the cathedral of St. Bavon ranks first. It is the rich est in objects of art in all Belgium, it's principal decoration being the altar piece by Jan Van Eyck, "The Adora- tion of the Lamb.' Only the central panel is there now. the side panels having been removed to Brussels and Berlin. Perhaps the eternal law of compensation may bring back the panel now held by the Prussians.
 Belfry From the Twelfth Century. The cathedral crypt dates back to 941, but the structure was not com pleted until 1554.
 Close to the church is the belfry, q square tower 375 feet high, containing a chime of II bells. As the story goes, the belfry, which dates back to the twelfth century, contained the great bell Roland, which summoned the burghers on momenteus occasions. When Charles Y. disciplined the city in 1889 he is said to have taken away the bell as special mark of disappro- bation.
 Charles V was Ghent's one great son. his birth occurring there in 150o but the relationship brought the burgherS no imperial favors.

 Early Burehers Were Fighters.
 The early burghers were peppery lot, quick to anger and tenacious of their rights. They warred with the dukes of Burgundy. they dared dis pute the supremacy of Charles Y. The city was captured number of times and each time contrived to free itself In the fourteenth century the town was so rich and populous that it was able to place an army of 50,000 men in the field.
 In the fifteenth century the city be- came one of the chief markets of the textile industries of Europe. In that century it reached the apex of it's prosperity. It still has linen, wooden and cotton mills and lace factories.

 Ghent stands out in American his tory as the place where a treaty be- tween Great Britain and the United States was formulated and signed on December 24, 1S14-the treaty which ended the war of 1912. The American representatives at the conference table were John Quincy Adams, James \. Bayard, Henry Clay, Jonathan Russell and Albert Gallatin.
 The United States senate ratified the treaty on February 15, 1915. and President Madison proclaimed it on the following day
 The signing of the treaty of Ghent did not prevent the battle of New Or leans on January s, 1915, nor did the presidents peace proclamation of Feb ruary 6 interfere with several naval battles, one of them-the engagement between the United States cruiser Peacock and the British ship Nautilus taking place as late as June 30.

BRlT0NS FEEL LACK OF DOGS
Plague of Rats Has Followed the Re- ducton of the Canine Popula-
 tion of the Country.

An inquiry has been received from an American firm as to the poSsibili- ties offered in the British market for the introduction and sale of poison for the destruction of rats. Just at pres ent considerable interest is being man. ifested in this country in the question of rat destruction, and attention is be- ing called to the enormous amount of damage done by these pests. The min istry of food has just issued an order giving power to local authorities to take such measures as may appear to them to be necessary to secure the de- struction of rats.
 Rats are increasing enormously all over England, both in the cities and rural districts, and an organized cam paisn of eXtermination has become nee essary The difficulty is to obtain q suitable poison. Local authorities will probably find that if any good is to be done they will have to set up a rat destruction instruction office and supply the dose, for the average house. holder possesses little knowledge of rat killing.
 Perhaps one cause of the increase and the growing audacity of the rodent IS the scarcity of dogs. The dog has almost disappeared in some cities and rural districts. The breeding of dogs has been severely curtailed owing to the fact that biscuits are exnensivo o,,.. or oad quality and bones cannot be bought-London Mail. "

PROF SHARING
PLAN FOR LABOR
URGED BY BUTLER
President of Columbia Says
Workers Must Also Have a
Hand in Managing Industries
If We Are To Have Peace

New York, Oct. 13-Co-operation
by labor in the management of indus
try and profit sharing were advocated
as means of preventing the American
form of government from committing
suicide by Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia university in an
address tonight before the Institute OF
Arts and Sciences Of the university.
He stated the problem as this:
Must the American form of gov
ernment commit suicide in order TO
give to industray better and more sat
isfactory organization ?"
The question, he added. answered
itself, for "if the American form of
governments commits suicide 1t will
make no difference to any one wheth-
er industry is better organized or
not. Chaos will have come again.
When industry is viewed as a CO.
operative enterprise in production, 1t
follows that those who work with
their hands, like those who worked
with their brains and those who
worked with their savings are entitled
to take part in the organization and
direction of the industry and to have
voice in determining the conditions
under which their cooperation shall
be given and continued:
THE strike" he continued. sis at
best not a method of reasonableness,
but weapon Of industrial war and 1t
ought in time to become obsolete with
the submarine and the Big Bertha"
Referring to the steel strike, Mr..
Butler said;
THE ultimatums of Mr.. Fitzpat-
rich and Mr. Foster were well
planned attack on the principles upon
which the American people have rest
ed their government, their civilization
and their life The war that has been
organized by Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mr.,
Foster and the similar wars that were
organized in Great Britain by Mr..
Smillie and Hr. Thomas are many
times more dangerous than the Aus
trian ultimatum to Serbia or the Ger
man invasion Of Belgium"
