For the past two years games have been played and Jave reached a point where consid- erable interest is manifested in the outcome. The question of super- iority still hangs fire, for the reason that each of the past matches have resulted in tie games. L. J.

ASYLUM AT TRUMBULL STREET, HARTFORD, -~ ALLIED SEGTION OF BELGIUM VERY BUSY Camps, Hospitals and Bases of One Sort or Another There | (Correspondence of the Assuciated Pre: Dunkirk. France, Nov. 3.—One tae map of Kurope the portion of Bel- | gium that remains to the Allies is not large, but now it is such a busy part of the world that one who whirls through it for several days in a mili- tary motor car, as an Associated Press correspondent is now doing, is likely to think that it is a very large part of Europe, the villages are so full of French, Belgian and British soldiers, there are so many camps, hospitals and bases of one sort and another— here an aviation camp, there an am- | bulance station and so on—that to visit the country is to realize the many | sided activities of warfare as one per- | haps could rot realize them in any ! other way. For one man in the trenches there seem to be fifty carry- | ing supplies and ammunition, building | | roads, repairing bridges, stringing tel- ephone wires and constructing barbed- wire entanglements. This trip comprised almost two hun- dred miles of travel in what may be | roughly described as a triangle with | Nieuport, Dunkirk and Ypres at the | three corners. “I don’'t suppose we can go Ypres?” asked the correspondent. “You would be a fool to try and | you would be a dead man if you got there,” was the chauffeur's answer. Grades of Demolition. Between Dunkirk and Ypres one can find all grades of demolition, What happened to Dunkirk by the ac- tion of a Krupp gun over twenty miles away almost everybody in the world knows now. But what happened to that gun it would be of greater in- terest to know and neither the French nor the Germans are saying anything about it. But the people of Dunkirk know that it has not been in action for two months. As one travels inland from Dunkirk towards the southeast through Ber- gues he can readily appreciate why France, Holland and England are full of refugees wearing their hearts out with thoughts of their demolished homes, for there are to be seen little villages with not a building inhabited, hardly one unmarked by shell fire. Handsome sixteenth century facades, niodest brick structures, artistic little churches have all gone into war’s melting pot. The streets are as dev- astated as the sections of San Fran- cisco or Baltimore after their conflag- rations. into | French Hold Dunes. The French are holding the dunes along the coast, then come the Bel- gians, then more French, then the English, then still more French, then the English again, and finally the long line of French reaching -to Switzer- land. It is not often pointed out that the French are sandwiched in between their allies in this fashion. Stopping before a 106mm. gun, clev- erly concealed in a grove, a gun which had been silent but a few moments and was “doing its bit” in an artillery action spreading oyer one hundred miles, a correspondent asked the lieu- tenant in charge when he intended to fire again. Fire When Ordered. “Whenever they telephone us’ was the reply. We have fired only twiee this morning.” When the line of aec- MRS.

WHERE QUALITY IS HIGHER THAN PRICE Overlooking Capitol Grounds tion is as long as the route from New York to Philadelphia, each gun has an easy time of it and there is plen- ty of opportunity for convergation. In- deed, when the correspondent ap- proached the group they were laugh- ing at a story of the lMeutenant He was telling them of a devoted order- ly. The lieutenant had been sent to the hospital as a result of polson gas. “I should have left the hospital after three days,’”” said the lieutenant, “‘but my orderly would not let me.” “Have any shells burst around here vet?"' “Not very near, this big gun is pret- ty well concealed and if the enemy’ aviators see it we can easily move it.” “You can’t see any Germans from ‘here, can you?” At Front Eleven Months, “I have been at the front eleven months,” sald the lieutenant, “I have seen many dead Germans and many German prisoners but I have never seen a German in action, except the man in the Taube.” A half dozen privates gathered round and the conversation became general, being interrupted occasional- ly by visits to the observatories in the trees where the correspondent was shown the German lines and could see the shrapnel bursting over both sides. It all seemed too remote. The corre- spondent observed. ‘It does not seem very close to us.” Might Have Sonvenirs, “Perhaps not just this minute but in the road there not over fifty feet away they blew up ene of our ecais- sons & few days ago and you can go out and pick up seme souvenirs if you wish to.” These observatories would be fas- cinating additions to Adirondack camps, being succesive flights of stairs with strong landings, winding round the highest trees, painted the color of trees and covered overhead wih fol- iage. There is no miiitary seeret about this for it is well known that both sides have the same kind of lpokouts. “You men all seem very happy,” said the correspondent. “We certain- ly are, we know what we are fighting for, we are well treated and we knaow that we shall win, It i{s men that will win this war pour la Patrie.” When a French soldier says, “pour la Pa- trie’” he says it with a thoughtful earnestness that gives ene a firm faith in democracy. Firing Was Near. The firing was evidently within short motering distance to the south- east and the correspondent got up to leave. “Sorry we could not entertain you with our 105mm.”, said the lieu- tenant, ‘but we never know when we shall get the telephone call.’ In an artlllery action of such magni- tude gunners wait for orders like po- licemen or firemen, by telephone, and like policemen and firemen they are very glad to see callers in the in- tervais of their activity.

Shanghai, Sept. 1.—Big business has found many ways of evading the | British order against trading with the Austrians and Germans. The desire | to preserve business seems to have transcended patriotism in many cases, | or as an Englishman who is indignant at the subterfuges invented by his countrymen remarked today, “The dollar seems to be above everything else after all.” One instance is that of a firm which does an immense exporting and im- porting business throughout the Orient, one member being a natural- | ized Englishman of German birth and 1 the other a German citizen. They announced a dissolution of their part- nership and hung out separate signs in front of their various offices. The Englishman continues the firm's trade with the English and avails himself of British bottoms, while the German | looks after the German end and uses ships under the American and other neutral flags. Transfers Of Invoices. Wholesale transfers of invoices and Boods to neutrals have taken place and many Americans are charged by the English with falsely swearing that German and Austrian goods are their property. Because of thsI various mail services in treaty ports representatives of the countries at war are able to hinder the trade of ene- mies by seizing invoices, bills of lad- ing and other suspicious papers which find their way into the post. An American steamship line which recently transferred ships to ithe British flag encountered an unexpect- ed situation in its first sailing under the Union Jack from this port. The American agent for the company ap- plied to the British consul general for “You have 2,700 tons of English and “You hve 2,700 tons of English and neutral cargo and 2,300 tons of Ger- promptly clearing wastes and poiso: cleanest | man cargo,” the consul general re- marked. “You'll never leave this port under our flag with that enemy cargo.” American Citizen Protests. “But I protest as an American citi- zen. You have no right to inter- fere with Americans,” the agent re- i plied. An appeal to the American consul general was useless, and the steamer which had so recently changed colors was compelled to disgorge its German freight before it could get clearance papers. Much Money Advanced. Large sums of money were vanced before the war by German firms to concerns handling tea, rice, hemp, porcelain and other products of the great inland country tributary to the Yang-tse-ikang. Most of this frelght comes down the river to Shanghal. It is possible to handle it to tidewater in the native sailboats which ply the river by the thousands. But the problem of getting shipping space for goods which must be mar- keted outside of China is a difficult one for the Germans and Austrians. The ownership of cargoes, is quite as difficult of proof in many cases as the ultimate destination of alleged contraband, and the complexities arls- ing from contested cases are so nu- merous that interference with doubt- | ful trade 1s risky. Consequently the noninterference of British consuls has in many cases encouraged the con- tinuance of practices which many Englishmen believe will be stopped as soon as the Foreign Office makes the interpretation of the order against the enemy trade clearer. Bars Wholesale Trade. In the main the order is directed against wholesale, and not retail trade. 8ir John Jordan, the British minister at Peking, has also prepared exceptions to the erder, intended to make its enforcement less objection- able. For example, renting houses to Germans or renting residence prop- | erty from Germans is classed as | necessary retail business. This ex- | ception was necessary in many of the | treaty ports where most of the avail- able residences are in the German concession. The legation has also held that carrying on ordinary tele- graphic business for Germans falls | within the category of retail business. The buying of electricity and water | frdm German corporations is also permitted. ad- Public Opinion Indorses this family remedy by making its sale larger than that of any other medicine in the world.
