All Belgium la returning to work and the country is recovering rapidly from the war. In Bruusels factories which wer damaged during the German occupa tion are heing fitted with machinery, and some of them already arc turning out tneir accustomed products to with in a iew per cent ot tne pre-war ca pacity. Production of sugar exceeds the pre war tonnage. Class factories are re opening. "In the iron and steel mill? many plants have resumed operations. jparticulai ly in . the Ucge district where some of the mills were com plrtely demolished and others so liad- ly damaged that entire blast furnace! had to be rebuilt. Within a voar. it is believed, the most important of thes plants will Ire operating to capacity. The cotton trade of Ghent also haf resumed, and steamers loaded wit) American cotton are arriving almos' daily. During the German occupation .ill copper fittings were removed fion the machines in the spinning factories, ;md some of these have not yet hcer iVplaced. The linen industry also has taken 01 new life, and additimial workers are being employed every week.. The ex port trade in linen is growing just a; rapidly as the factories can turn ou' the finished product. It is in the country districts, how ever, where one sees the Belgian at hi' best. In the vast gardvn country which stretches from Brussels to th wea scarcely a square foot of ground w left uncultivated, so anxious arc thr people to produce their own food, an" they are working from early morn hn til late at night to attain that end. Apparently there is no scarcity ol food in Belgium. It is costly in towns and cities, but in the country the peo ple nave now gathered their first har vest since the war, and are in need of nothing. Kven butter is being scrveed in the hotels, and in every house there is no longer the fear of starvatior which for so many years made life i burden. Many persons are convinced that this time next year will sec th1 country well on the way to recovery.
