After putting his party on ship
for home, I Flambeau had come
over to Belgium by the night boat
to Antwerp from London, an ex-
cellent route to travel with COM
Portable trains to Harwich, where
one goes aboard fine channel
steamer. with first and second
class accommodations, all OF ex-
cellent quality and cleanliness.

or stout. A fellow passenger gave
Flambeau a glass of lemonade,
which was just as good a might
cap" And in the morning before
arrival at Antwerp he had some
tea and soda biscuits on board.
When Flambeau made a previous
tour Of Belgium in 1918, the nation
was celebrating one hundred years
of peace by an international ex-
position, held at Client. Barely n
year later. the peace was broken.
and today war-scarred and battle
stained, heroic Belgium is slowly
recovering from the terrific shock
she has sustained.
Will she regain her earlier
strength? May she not even en-
ter upon a new era of prosperity,
parallel perhaps with the grandeur
Of her Renaissance period, when
she was queen Of the north of
Europe, as Venice was Of the
south?
CATHEDRAL IN RUINS.
Near Brugges and Client there
are battlefields of the late war
which tell a tragic story, the
Cathedral Of Louvain is in ruins,
and shell.shattered villages are
scattered through Flanders. But
for the moment there is little to
indicate at first glance in Antwerp
and Brussels the late war and its
effects. Yet IL you look a little
closer, you may discover plenty
of signs even here. The people
are serious and even solemn.
1t is the anniversary OF the
cowardly invasion of Belgium

publishes on its first page a long
editorial.
"The 4th of August is no longer

"And It is better thus. This date
is a glorious anniversary for Bel
Eium, but too abominally tragic

"It ought to remain a day OF
meditation. A day of meditation
and of remembrance. OF remem-
brance and of salutary resolutions"
Before this date in 1914. he con-
tinues, the Belgians had so much
confidence in their neighbors that
the majority refused to believe in

Special Attractions on
 NeW Bill at the Lyric

Birmingham likes big vaudeville bills, as 1t has proved by it's enthu- siasm at the six-act programs given them at the Lyric, 80 the manage ment of this popular playhouse is going to give Birmingham more of what 1t likes. In addition to the five select acts of big time Keith vaude- vile acts there is to be an extraordi- nary attraction in the appearance of two local amateurs. Red Thornton and Slick Smith,
 These two boys are hailed as the equal of any of the blackface stars that adorn the famous minstrel shows. They are putting on black face act that Is a corker.
 On the regular vaudeville bill the headliner Is the Traffic Cop" pre- sented by Roger Gray and company, with Eulalie Young. These artists need no introduction and In their comedy with music they are delight ful.
 The added attraction is practically all comedy, but there are enough songs for color. Dave Walkers and Sam Goold arc the entertainers in skit called Nuts So You Can Notice It." They are real eccentrics.

PRESIDENTS FRIEND DEFEATED IN OHIO

Columbus, November 8.-Practical- ly complete returns from Tuesdays election tonight failed to make any changes in the indicated winners de- veloped from returns received las. night and early today.
 With reports complete from n of the SS counties and only 280 pre- cincts missing in the incomplete counties. Congressman 8. D. Fess, re- publican. had obtained . safe ma jcrity of 42,227 over Senator Atlee Pomerene in the contest for Ohio's second seat in the United States Sem ate. The vote was Fess. 765,361; Pomerene. 7as.134.
 While Carmi A. Thompson, repub- lican candidate for governor, and personal friend of President Hard ing. had reduced the load of his dem ocratic opponent, A. V. Donahey, to ls.769 in Fl complete counties and only 2S0 precincts missing. in others not complete. 1t appeared improb- able that he would be able to over- come this lead.
 The total vote in .7.s4s precincts out of SITS, on governor was: Thomp- son, 7S0.2Ss; Donahey, 7s4,lo8.
 The wine and beer amendment took . downward pitch after the city vote had been counted and tho dry rural districts began to roll in and tonight had apparently been defeated by a 100000 majority. Tho vote in 7,185 precincts was for, e3e.582; against, 7as.ss1.
 Democrats have elected six of their oongr essional candidates to 1< by the republicans.

when the two get together, and while the betting odds will prob ably be on Centre to win, and while the point-givers will un- doubtedly be giving Auburn points. still the game looks much closer than it did last year and there are those who are expect ing the Tigers from the plains to spring a big surprise and take off the honors, when the two teams clash at Redwood field Saturday week.
 TuscaIoosa's Big Day
 Many football fans are laboring under the wrong impression about the Alabama -Loulsia game. They seem to think it will be staged at Denny field Satur- day. They had better run their watches up a day if they want to be on hand for the scrap. The game will be staged on Denny field at 2:3O o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 They're holding big celebra- tion down at the university Fri day, and aside from the football attraction, a big cross-country run is to be staged between halves of the football game. This track feature will have its start on Denny field, with the finish there also. Hundreds are going down from Birmingham to help give the Crimson Tide glad hand for it's great and unex- peeted victory over Pennsylvania last Saturday. and incidentally to root them to victory over Louisiana. It is believed that the university team has found itself, and will give a good account of itself for the remainder of the stretch.
 The Super-Boxing Card
 Roy Cohen. Tommy Thomklns, and the other B.. A. C. officials have doped out the best fight card ever staged in Birmingham, as an attraction for Friday night. November IT. Roy realized that there would be thousands of vis- itors in Birmingham that night as the advance guard to the crowds that would flock here for the Auburn Centre game.
 As a consequence 8 fight card
 
 out to entertain these visitors. A match was arranged between Tim O'Dowd and Claude Wilson. This affair will probably prove the greatest fistic card ever staged by the club, and from the present angle it looks like every seat will have been sold out days before the box lighters start mixing it. Special care has been given in selecting a referee for this great card. and announcement has been made that Bill Kaliskas of Atlanta would be the third man in tho ring that night. The pity of it all is that the Athletic club hasn't larger auditorium to ac- commodate the crowds, for un- doubtedly many will be turned away.
