The Belgians Are A People
Almost Without A Country
Continued From PW^'iP0'1 ~, _.-^-^.^
in the country have employment of some sort. These include farm
owners and lessees. The beet crop has been ruined by the armies
:md sugar factories are closed. There are no horses or other equip
ment for harvesting, or trains to move the small amount of beets that
have survived the devastation of war, and few able-bodied men to
assist the women, who are endeavoring to ward off starvation by
gathering what little remains of the crops in the field.
Antwerp's diamond cutters are in the army. Malines' tapes
try factories are in ruins. Many cotton mills are in ashes and those
(htit still stand are closed. All universities and schools have been
Abandoned. Nearly all physicians are at the front or serving in the
hospitals. Hundreds of priests and nuns are carnig for the sick and
wounded. Few churches are fit for occupancy as hospitals or other
wise. Convent homes have been deserted by the sisters. Many
are so badly wrecked they could afford no shelter.
Canals leading from Belgium to Holland, and the one railway line
between Antwerp and Uozendal constitute Belgium's only communi
cation with neutral territory. The disheartened Belgians are unable
to communicate with their .relatives whether they are refugees in
Holland or soldiers on the battle line. Their isolation is almost
complete. To the grief over their dead and the exile of their gov
ernment is now added the awful spectre of starvation.
The single day of hope is afforded by the American commission
for relief in Belgium. The liberality of Holland is described as
rplendid, but thc country's grain supply is exhausted. Great Bri
tain having limited Dutch importations, the sole source of an ade
quate food supply is the United States.
Even the few Belgians with money cannot buy food. There
is no wheat, flour, coffee or salt to be had at any price. In many
cities conditions are worse than in country districts. Bakeries are
closed and vegetables are the only diet. Supplies that the American
commission is shipping will help a little, but thousands of Belgians
positively are hungry.
Imperfect means of communication have prevented the Ameri
tan minister, Brand Whitlock, and other prominent men from advis
ing thc world fully of the terrible situation that confront thc Belgians
as hinter opens. The absence of King Albert and high government
oflk-als has made it impossible for the local authorities to make their
flight known.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-All American contributions for relief of
starving non-combatants in Belgium will be. placed in the hands of
thc supply committee in New York city, which wjll forward food
direct as soon as sufficient funds arc obtained to make up full steam
er cargoes, Robert W. DeForest, chairman of the executive commit
tee of the Belgian relief fund, said tonight.

True Friends.
?ld you ever think hov; transitory .
most of tho friendships of life are- 1
how very SIIKM the tie that hinds us
even to those whose company we en
joy, and whose pleasure we would '
promote. How easily change of place I
or circumstance crowds out the old (
occupants of the heart and welcomes
new ones in! We are surrounded with
pleasant people, their society (Ills :
a large place in our lives, their rcs- I
peet and esteem is highly valued; we
are glad to receive and render fav
ors; but lot uo be removed from them <
but a short distance. Just so that the i
eyes of our dally life do nat Interest <
each other, and somehow they fade <
Imperceptibly, but surely away, Just i
as the mist fades or the closing day '
larkens. And tho death-they whose 1
liven, while living, seemed a necessity i
to our own, and whose death was like ]
an eclipse of all our Joyous being- i
now easily we become accustomed to i
their absence, and daily duties and i
new-found loves bridge over the aw
ful chasm and fill the gloomy chaos
whloh their departure made. i
But some friendships live; some :
lov<> takes such deep hold upon the I
heart that- I
Time but the Impression stronger
makes,
.. Streams their channels deeper
wear. 1
>H you ever go Into somo dear old <
heme, where tho walls were hung <
with glowing masterpieces of nature
and life-grandeur to awe the soul,
t.nd beauty to delight the eye, and
where tho ceilings were illumined by ?
(ho hand ot genius and radiant with
the very smile and tdumps \)f art? \
These pictures may be moved some ?
times for others; but tho frescoed
miracles of art stay steadfast in their
place. No chango disturbs them, hut
there they remain, growing ripe ano
mollow with age. Just so lt is with
the heart. Many pleasant occupations '.
come and go, but there aro those who
stay. Uko tho frescoes on the walls ,
and arc an intogral portion of the
heart itsolf. He who has such friends
-whose memory ts a picture gallery. <
where in frescoed beauty smile thc
faces of unfading love-is rich in
deed, rich in goods that cannot be
purchased in the market, and whose
value does not fluctuate with thc
prlco of gold. That you and I. dear
reader, may have such friends and
deserve them, is the wish of Uncle
Dave.
A few days ago. Just as the sun was
rising, lu the stillness of the beautiful
morning wo heard tho rumble and
roar of a great train leaving the dc- ;
pot Turning our eyes that way, wo
found the train Itself concealed from
view, but Us progress was marked
by tho great bursts of smoko which
constantly rose from tho engine, mak- i
lng tho changing position and prog- ?
ross of thc train. Never before had
wo seen such a trailing banner, full
half a milo In length, as that englue ;
bore through tho clear thin air of
that frosty morn. Rolling out in groat
black billows, it would widen and
whiten, unroll and spread, and pile up
In fantastic shapes, only to unroll
again and take on other Bhapes more
fantastic still, still rising higher and ;
growing moro impalpable and elem- j
until at last lt molted imperceptibly
aWay, swallowed up by thc surround
ing air.
Looking at this wonderful, ever
shifting and ever whitening panora
ma,-we thought how Uko it was to the
memory which a good man leaves be
hind him. Seen in tho present, his
life, at best, is full of imperfections,
viewed with black lines of selfishness,
ambition or greed-bujt, as thc years
pass away, these fade out In the mel

of them no more, and so at last his
memory comes to be purified of all
stain, and 's over after an inspiration
for goodness and truth to all who
think upon it; and the man himself,
according to his position and influ
ence, is enshrined In the lovo of
friends and relatives or taken Into
tho world'a wide heart, is cannonized
as a saint and made a patent power
forevermore. Happy they be, who
leave such memories behind!
