The young men, each about 18 vears old, were riding on a freight train at the time.

Pre: The Hague, Netherlands, July The complete restoration of the inde- pendence of Belgium is the object of a call to the neutrals of the American republics, the three Scandi states, Switzerland and Spain, which has been issued over the znatures of 120 universily professors, 7.— Holland. It is declared that the government and parliament of the German empire, alone of all the belligerents, have offi- cially declared that they will endeavor at the conclusion of peace to put an end to the independence of a neighbor state. Various utterances of the im- perfal chancellor are quoted as bear- ing this out, and are interpreted as meaning that neither in a military nor economic respect, nor even in the ar- rangement of such questions as the relationship between the two lan- guages of the country, is Belgium to be mistress in her own hous The call to the neutrals says the whole world, with the exception of Germany and her allies, is convinced that the robbery of any state whatever of its independence must be regarded as a crime and as a source of fresh wars. “It seems to us necessary,” it continues, “that this principle shall now be uttered as the emphatic de- mand of neutral peoples—necessary in order that those contemvlating an assault on a small neighbor may feel less inclination thereto in the know- ledge that such assault will not go un- punished; necessary, too, for the sup- port of those in Germany itself who detest the annexation policy. The neutrals have the right, duty and pow- er to sit in judgment where the de- fence of the highest interests of hu- manity is concerned.

Press.) Paris, July 22.—Fine French per- fumes are now being sold in ordinary drugglsts’ vials, corked, instead of in artistic flagons with glass stoppers. This crisis is due to mobilization of glass workers in the North of France, and one of its revelations is that the art flagon has been representing a considerable part of the cost of per- fumes. But among fastidious women the perfumes €0 not smell so sweet when prosaically presented, and a re- sult is a new industry—that of collect- ing old perfume bottles into which the Lessences may be transferred. 3081 i clusion artists, writers and other well known men of | JULY 28, 1916.
