But net Neutra neither Belgium, man nor Dutch. It used to be a part of Belgium and was until 1815 like the r of that country a province of France. By the treaty of Vienna, Belgium and Holland hecame inde- pendent countries, but Moresnet, which at that time held the greatest zine mine of Kurope became a bone of contention between Prussia and the Netherlands. Finally neither got it and the difficulty was solved by mak- ing it neutral tercitory The mine of zinc has long since been exhausted in Moresnet, but digging Y into deeper strata the vein was con- tinued into Belgium and German te ritory. Consequently the country ha lost its chief reason for retaining its independence, but by keeping the mine smelter in its territory it has continued to receive the same con- sideration from its powerful neigh- bors as in the past. Owned by The whole country Vielle Montagne company, which with the exhaustion of the zinc de- posits, sought other fields until it has become so internationalized that it is as neutral in its impartial activities as the country where it got its start. The president of the company is ron Rothchild of Frankfurt, who sells products from the company mines in Germany to that country. They also have mines in France, and their general manager, a loyal Frenchman, is selling zinc to the French government. Their manager in Great Britain where they have a zinc mine in Scotland is a Belgian and he is selling the product to the British government. The company has mines in Africa and other remote places, and under its international management, is prespering. The country is governed by two burgomasters, one named by the Ger- man and the other by the Belgian governments. There are 2,000 Ger- mans, 2,000 Belgians and 400 Neutres in the country. To become a Neutre it has Company. is owned by the “ must be proven that ones family re- sided in Moresnet 160 years. The Belgiaas are under their own Burgo- master, the Germans under theirs while the Neutres have the privilege of choosing between the two. Tn criminal cases the burgomaster can choose ecither German or Belgian judges. But whatever judge is se- lected must use the Code Napoleon and make his decision in accordance i, with its principles. Taxes Equally Divided. The taxes are also equally divided between Germany and Belgium as are the two post offices. When the little country began to suffer for a lack of food the problem of relief became acute. The coun- | try was not German, therefore the | » Germans refused to feed the Belgians while the latter refused to admit food for the feeding of the Germans. An effort was made to separate the two but they were found so mixed, living in the same house, members of the ame family and many speaking the same tongue, that any separation was impossible. It was found that the ‘eutres seem to have been forgotten. Finally a rough compromise was made whereby the Commission supplied the people of the whole country with bread while Germany furnished them with meat, potatoes and butter. Commission Faces Problems. In attempting to feed the Moresnet people the commi on faces some problems out of all proportion to the - size of the countr. Under its agree- ments with the various belligerents it must if possible only import food from neutral countries, but the frontier of Moresnet with Holland is the apex of a triangle without roads and for oh- vious reasons Germany does not de- any communication to be estab- lished from that direction. “Some idea of the difficulty of ting into Moresnet may be gained Afrom the following description of the grip which two of the delegates of the Commission made to the country. Automobile. to reach Moresnet we automobile from Liege for about two hours to some of the Most beautiful districts in the Ar- dennes, mounting gradually higher until at last on the opposite side of a little the black and white striped bars acr the bridge an- nounced that we had reached the be der.

On telling him that we were on a tour of inspection and did not desire to enter Prussian territory, he explained that to reach Moresnet Neutre we would have to eross about twelve feet of Prussian soil. We finally found that by climb- ing a fence we could reach the cour try without invading Prussia The officer, however, objected, and at ~¥e discovered that half the road was neutral while the other half w: Prussian.

Washington, Addams, of the Jan. 11—DMiss Women's Peace Party told the hous foreign affairs comi- mittee todny that all the warring na- tions of Burope would welcome —at means that would end the war with- out sacrifice of prestige for them. S personally had been so assured, s id, by high officials of most of the belligerents. Miss Addams and other women of the party urged the committee to rec- ommend the passage of any of several pending bills proposing an interna tional peace tribunal. Miss Addams | said the Ford peace ship had nac- | complished i purpose in arousing world interest in a peace project and, although curiosity in the ship itself had overshadowed interest in its pur pose, representatives of five neutral ions were now at The Hague dis- cussing hopes of peace at a result of the pilgrimage. Other speaker Crystal Eastman New Yorlk, Miss S. Chicago, and Mrs. of Boston. A committee named at the conclud- ing session of the convention last night to arrange for mass meetings of women all over the country on Washington's birthday to protest against “Unnecessary war prepar: tions,” began its work today. Officers re-elected included Miss Addams as president. MURDER OF DR. MOHR MOST COLD BLOODED included Mrs Benedist of P. Breckinridge of Lucia Ames Mead Assistant Attorney General Phil Declares in Outlining the State’s Case. 1 I., Jan. 11.—Before visiting the scene of the murder of Dr. C. Franklin Mohr, the jury lected yesterday to hear evidence in the trial of his widow, Mrs. Eliza- Leth F. Mohr and two negrooes, V. Brown and H. Spellman, charged with responsibility for the crime, went to the court house today to listen to a -brief preliminary statement by the prosecution. The ccmplete opening statements by both sides were reserved until the return of the jury from its inspection. Dr. Mohr was killed on August 31 | last while motoring from Providence | tc Newport with his secretary, Miss | Imily C. Burger, and the state alleges that Mrs, Mohr hired three negroes to commit the crime. Assistant Attorney General Phillips, cutlining the state’s case, declared the murder of Dr. Mohr one of the most | cold blooded ever committed in Rhode | Island. Kvidence, he said, would be ! rresented to show that the assassins | lay in ambush and when his automo- bile was stopped, stepped up and shot Dr. Mohr and Miss Burger without | the least warning. Mr. Phillips said the jury would taken also to Dr. Mohr's hou garage in this city s home nearby. William F. the defense, objected to the taking of {he jury to Dr. Mohr's house, but was overruled.

Catholics have been permitted to be buried in Protestant cemeteries, but under different circumstances. This is sometimes permitted when there is no Catholic cemetery in a town where a person di»s. In that case the grave is blessed. Exception is also made sometimes when the deceased or mem- | of the family own a lot in a | a Protestant cemetery previous to the death of the person who is to be Luried. In the Gauer case it is said that Mrs. Gauer did not buy the lot in Fairview cemetery until several hours after Mr. Gauer's death. On this account the bishop did not per- mit the services to be held in the Catholic church.
