BELGIUM REGAINS
FROM WAR LOSSES
BRUSSELS, Oct. 4. (By Mail.)
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.

GOIXKXZ. Germany, Oct. 29. (B
Mail.). Organized ice sports arc to
lie held Vhis winter for the first tim
by the members of the American Ar
my over heie. An ideal location for
the skating in this city has been sel
ccted in the Moselle river, and when
it freezes over Captain Alexander
P. Withers, athletic officer, will be
ready to put on all kinds of ice pas
times.
Outside Coblenx, in close proximity
to the various outlying camps, othei
skating sites are being selected. Thr"
men at these outlying camps will 'bo
organized into speed racing teams, ice
hockey teams and fancy skating clubs.
Both here at Coblenz and at the out
lying centers it is planned to hold
championships for the .outfits quarter
ed at the various points, and when tho
champions of each location have been
decided, it is planned to bring the
winners to this city and hold a series
of competitions which will decide the
champions of the entire American
forces in Germany. Some time ago
tho Y ordered large quantities of
skates, which now are being distrib
uted throughout Germany both for
regular skating and for racing and
each participant in these contests will
be supplied by tho Y. M. C. A. with
standard set of skates from the stock.
Captain Withers is working on
program that will be suitable for gen
eral competition. The proposed spee
and endurance events will include rac
es over 800 meters, 15000 meters, and "mcy ruling at tneir school ol eiiuila
5000 meters. There will also be r j lion, conducted by the marine corps al
