.sThe Breath OF God"

I'M OCTOBER every fatherland-loyin
Y Dutchman eats "huts-pot.' This is u
combination of potatoes, onions, carrots
and beef, with sailed herring for a side dish.
The custom dates from the year 1878, when
the siege of Leyden was raised by ''the breath
Of God" For a whole year the Spanish
troops had invested the city. The people,
knowing that surrender would mean their
massacre, held out under the heroic leader
ship, of Burgomaster Peter Van Der Werff.
The dykes had been broken in the hope Of
flooding the Spanish camp, but the wind blew
the water stewards and the Spanish were
not hampered in their operations Dogs and
cats, yes even rats, were eaten. Men chewed
leather, roots and bark. In the Ryks Mu-
scum of Amsterdam hangs famous painting
showing Van Der Werff handing his sword
to his emaciated bughers and their wom-
en-. IF you must have food, run me through,
eatImy body, but surrender l will not" On
October the wind changed. On the morn
ing of October 3 two boys yentured out of
the city. Anxious eyes followed them They
arrived in the Spanish camp, now under three
feet of water. They stayed away. They
waved their hands to the burghers on the
walls. Others went out They brought back
a pot of '.huts-pot" The Spanish army had
decamped in the night. Great was the re-
joicing. On the next day food arrived from
the Prince of Orange. Many died gorging
themselves. Leyden was rewarded by Orange
with university in the-following year. The
original copper vessel that was brought from
the Spanish camp on that memorable morn
ing is in the local museum at Leyden.

"Meek Lot OF Taxpayers."

Now here is a dispatch from the United
States to European newspapers which has
set the citizens of Denmark, Belgium and
Germany wondering and gasping. The dis
path says that 21S wooden ships, which cost
100000 during the war, are to be set
on fire in the Potomac river by a salvage
company, which bought them from the United
States government for 100000. The Dan
ska Tidene" says: "They call that salvaging
in America, we call it destruction pure and
simple" The Rotterdam Nieuwsblad" com
ments: "Of course, the Americans can do
with their own property what they like. But
these ships were not out of date and could
be used to great advantage" 1t winds up
its discussion of the matter with the perth
nent remark: "What tremendously wealthy
country America must be or else what meek
lot of taxpayers have they got over there"
The Rotterdammers do not know that in
American natinoal life taxpayer is supposed
to pay taxes and ask no questions.

Anothar ..Teat Dav."

Just when the theatres of Constantinople
were letting out their streams of people and
the cabarets were starting to do a rushing
business, the same as in Paris, New York or
Berlin, armed troops poured through the
streets. Taxicabs were commandeered, street
cars were filled with soldiers and gendarmes.
Every private automobile was stopped, the
occupants made to descend and the car taken
away. This happened two weeks ago. Anxious
telephone calls to the chief of police and the
newspapers brought no reply. Everything
was shrouded in deepest secrecy. People be-
came frantic and panic-stFicken. The wild
est rumors were circulated. Now the cat is
out of the bag. Rashed Bey, governor of The
city, suddenly decided on a mobilization.
But his nocturnal decision is being investi-

The economic outlook for our own
country for the next year is bright.
In general the world situation is
hopeful.
Secretary of the. Treasury Mellon:
/ am convinced that if the tax pro
posals are enacted into law and the
sound policy of entrenchment in ex-
penditures is continued the net-
year will witness a steady improve
ment in the favorable conditions
which have already begun to make
themselves felt and this country
will enjoy prosperity in 1924.
Secretary of Labor Davis: Ameri-
can labor has completed a happy and
successful year. With the workers

cal methods.
That the department develop its
