Which the Belgians face misfortune

irlum in the last days of October. A
tide-water stream, the Yser, : ebbed and
flowed through the sunken fields, and
there King Albert with his remnant of
an army stopped the German military
machine in its advance on Calais. If
fee and his j 40,000 men had been
crushed bask! lo miles farther they
would have been fighting on French
oil. The Yser was the last ditch in
Belgium. ,.
j The Belgians were able to hold that
mere strip of land against more men
and better artillery because they had
determined to die there. Some of those
who had not yet paid the price of
i -'death told me. They were not tragic
Vabout It. There was no display of
heroics. They said It seriously, but
they smiled a little, too, over their
wine glasses, and the next morning
they were back in the firing line.

Dunkirk, when I admitted I had no

fea me to nis commander, and no
placed his vlsee on my passport with-
'out question. He asked me whether I
jwas a correspondent, and I confessed
(to it, but it seemed only to facilitate
,;Jthe affair. Earlier experiences had
. made tne feel that the French gen
darmes were my natural enemies, but
jl have had a kindlier regard for them
nsince. J I
i The train I was on had 10 cars full
l6f French and Belgian soldiers. The
.'Belgians had all been recently re-
equipped. On other troop trains which
passed us going forward tHere were
many jmore Belgian soldiers, some of
whom i had seen only a few hours
earlier in the streets of, Calais without
J rifles. . As their trainspassed now I
could see them studying the mechan
ism and fondling their new firearms.
The Sport of the Children.
Coming, in through the suburbs of
, Dunkirk we passed hundreds of chil
dren perched on the fences singing
.the Marseillaise. Nor Were their

school children's. They felt every word
,,,tney Bang, ana tney put tneir uttie
il-hearts into it. Looking back along
l the side of the cars at the faces of sol-
aiers leading out, l could see they
were touched by the faith of the children.
,1,; as a rattled along on tne cobbles of
Dunkirk half an hour later I heard
n explosion with a note unfamiliar to
me. It sounded close, too,, but ft did
not seem to boUier the people of the
street. A few children. ran behind their
mothers' skirts anda young girl hur
ried from the middle of the street to
the protection of an archway, but
that was all. 1 t
Standing up in the fiacre I could
see a thin smoke aBout 3 00 feet away
In a parden in the direction from
.which the explosion came, and high in
the evening sky I could barely make
out an aeroplane. " :'
"A German bomb?" I asked the
driver , 'in some excitement.
"Oh, yes," he replied, cracking his
whip, "we usually get three . or four
every afternoon about this time, but
they have not hurt any one."
Dunkirk that night answered the de
scription bf- what a threatened town
which was not afraid should look like.
, It had none of the depressing atmos
phere of Calais. All the refugees and
the wounded were passed on to- a safer
place. It was full of French. English
and Belgian soldiers, with a scattering
oi sailors ana Dreezy officers from
both the Fench and English navies.
'They kept the waiters in the cafes on
the run and there was only- an occa
sional bandage showing from under a
cap, or around a hand to indicate these
tr.en were engaged )n any more serious
dus mess man a manoeuvre. -
An Armored . Motor Oar.
, In the street, however, in front of
tne statue of Jean Bart, an armored
Belgian motor car was standing. It
was buiir with a turret where the
tonneau usually is and it was covered
with thick sheet steel right down to
the ground. Just In front of the driver
was a silt with a lip extending over
It, giving it somewhat the effect of
the casque belonging to an ancient
suit of armor. That was the only
opening except the one for the barrel
, or tne rapid nre ; un in the turret
The armo: was dented in a dozen
places where bullets had glanced off,
, but It had only been penetrated at
one spot, about six inches from the
. muzzle of the gun. From the soldier
at , the steering gear I learned that
that bullet had passed over the shoul
der of the man in the turret.
.Twenty-four hours later, at Nieu-
; port, when the German shells seemed
to be falling in every street and on
every house. I saw . this car again,
. going .forward t not less than 40
miles an hour. The turret was being
.swung to bring the gun-muzzle for
ward, as If the gunner were expecting
to go into action almost immediately.

came to attention, as a door opened
behind me, and saluted.
Two men came out of the door, one
rather tali, with an easy manner, and
smartly dressed as a general in the
Belgian army. The other was older,
also a general, wearing, if anything
the more gold braid of the'two. They
entered a waiting automobile and
drove off as casually as two men at
home might leave their office for their

men impressed me as familiar. I had

was alleged that these bullets were
made by Eley Bros., Limited, i No. 254
Gtravesend Road, London.
Photographs purporting to show hox-.
bullets were given as exhibits and
proofs. They -were said to nave been
taken in the Halle hospital, near Ber
lin. These photographs were i sot ac
companied by names of soldiers or
certificates of doctors as to the cause
of the wounds "or verified by the oath
of photographers.'
The German-American citizens evi
dently believe them to be authentic,
however. i
The charges and documents have
been furnished to several senators and
congressmen. .
It was not charged that any Brit
ish commanding officer;. or war office
official Is responsible.- It was ex
pressly said1 that dumdum bullets
were mixed with regular arnmuntion
and could not be - distinguished by.
sight tram standard cartridges even
by experts. The Inference was that
some miscreant was responsible for
scattering the . deadly missiles among
regular British ammunition.
8ir Gilbert Parker's reply to this
charge is made from official sources
in the war office in London. It was
approved in substance by Lord Kitch
ener before it was cabled to the United
States.

responsible source the British gov

BUL6ARS TO BE NEUTRAL
Sofia, via Rome, Jan. 9. The kink
gave an audience to members of par
liament, who recommended that the
strictest neutrality be maintained dur
ing the war, as the slightest untoward
Incident would be likely to imperil
the existence of Bulgaria, For this
reason, they said, the utmost care is
necessary on the part of the king and
the government to see that Bulgaria
maintains her neutral position.
Washington, Jan. I. With the great
nations of Europe wasting their wealth
and their resources with freehanded
disregard, and this country being
forced to . depend more and more upon
its own capital, agricultural and min
eral resources, the question of our un
developed stores takes on an Interest
such as it never before has had. In
this connection the National Geo
graphic society has prepared a stato-
men t which says:
"In addition to the wonderful ag
ricultural and mineral development
which already has taken place in the
United States, and which makes this
country outrank any other in the
world in the value of , her crops and
the product of her mines, we have vast
undeveloped resources. We have more
coal, more petroleum, more phosphate,
and more copper than any other coun
try. Our coal reserves reach such an
overwhelming total as to make the
combined coal reserves of the next six
greatest producing nationsall of
whom are at war dwindle into insig
nificance. Zinc. lead, silver, timber,
salt, iron ore and other staples of
commerce are here in undeveloped
abundance. ' Alaska Is the greatest of
our unexplolted treasure troves.
The largest body; of unused and
neglected -land In the United States is
Alaska. It is now nearly half a century
since we purchased this territory, and
it contains today less than 40.000
white Inhabitants, less than 1000 for
each year it has been in our posses
sion. The purchase was .made as a
means of protection against possible
aggression of a foreign nation and
without hope that it would be even
self-supporting. In the intervening 46
years we have given It little more than
the most casual concern; yet 'Its mines,
fisheries, and furs alone have added
to our wealth the grand sum of J500,
000,000. Individual fortunes have been
made in that country larger than the
prige paid to Russia for the whole
territory.
"Its waters are teeming rich with
skins and f ish. .. How rich we know,
because they have been proved. But
how j-ich Its lands k are in gold md
copper, coal and oil, iron and zinc, no
one knows. The prospector has gone
far enough, however, to tell us that
no other section of our land today
makes so rich a mineral promise. And
-4 In agriculture- the government Itself
has demonstrated that Alaska will
produce in abundance all that can be
raised ' in the Scandinavian countries.
(Sitka bar cooler summers and warmer
winters than Washington, D. C), the
hardy cereals and vegetables, the
meats and berries off which 9,000,000
people live in Norway. Sweden and
F'nland. It has been estimated that
there are 50,000,000 acres of this land
that will make homes for a people
as sturdy as those of New England.
Alaska 'can be made self-sustaining
agriculturally.
It is a territory one-fifth .the size
of the United States containing less
than 1000 miles of anything that can
te called a wagon road. It has w
few Inconsiderable stretches of rail
road, which terminate either in the
wilderness or at a private industry.'
Possibilities In Arid Z.aads.
"Alaska does not by any means
comprise all of our. undeveloped re
sources. Vast stretches of the great
American desert still remain to be re
claimed for fruit, grain, vegetable and
grazing land. Millions of acres of
coal lands are in store ready to be
opened as the need for their richness
arises. Southwestern oil fields are
storing vast quantities of petroleum
for future use. innumerable water
powers throughout the middle west
and west are waiting to be harnessed.
Our vast deposits of phosphate rock.
embracing millions of acres and con
taining billions of tons of phosphate,
undoubtedly form the -world's greatest
supply. These deposits run for hun
dreds of miles through Wyoming,
Utah, Montana and Idaho. In 1910 the
United States .produced ti per cent
of the world's phosphate output.
"A discovery of a deposit of potash
within the United States was made
some time ago, though little has been
done in the way of its development.
The department' of the Interior has
expressed the hope that this supply
would for some time at least make the
farmers of this country independent of
foreign sources. It lies, however, still
undeveloped. Germany, up to now,
has had. a world monopoly of potash."

States and Brazil, as well as other
South American countries were de
scribed by Edward N. Hurley.i newly
elected president of the Illinois Manu
facturers' association. In an address
before members of the Traffic club
in the Hotel LaSalle.
"We buy from Brazil $78,000,000 to
$95,000,000 worth ;of coffee a year,
being that country's best customer,"
said Mr. Hurley. "Brazil buys far less
from us, its ; purchases of American
goods during the fiscal year having
amounted to less than $40,000,000. This
unquestionably a. Jug handled affair.
for we are constantly told that the
way to Increase our trade With South
America is .to buy more South'Ameri
can products. It is evidently impos
sible for us to buy more coffee than
we consume. '
"The war has checked the investment
of European capital in South America,
It is conceivable that various projects
may be on the market and purchasable
on terms unusually advantageous to
American capital. No manufacturer
looking for greater South American
trade can afford to ignore the possibil
ity of financially encouraging this de
velopment. They are not asked to ex

By Sir Gilbert Parker. I
(By the Internntlgnul News Service.)
London, Jan. 9.-In commerce Ger
many has always known how to adver
tise its wares and its commercial trav
elers have been experts at solicitations
of door to door canvass. Every em
bassy has been a commercial agency,
every minister has been expected to
expand the functions of the diplomat
into any field of profit for the Ger
man empire.
In ' the exploitation of wares the
Germans have taught the "nation of
shopkeepers," as they call the British,
many things they did "not know and
do not want to learn. Faithful ser
vants ot Count Bernstorff with new
born solicitude for the laws of war,
have lately been exploiting in the
United States so-called atrocities
caused by dumdum bullets fired by
British soldiers.
It is one of those carefully organ
ized sensations of the German war pol
icy intended to direct attention from
disconsoling things like the bombard
ment of unfortified towns such as
Scarborough and Whitby and the ruth
less murder of "women, children and
noncombatants without any reason
save killing of British people.
That the British army or any regi
ment or battalion "or company in that
army has used or , was authorized, to
use dumdum bullets is wholly ; with
out foundation.-
Refutation would be needless were
it not that this state and ugly charge,
made at the beginning of the war, has
Seen revived in the United States
through the distribution by commer
cial firms and other organizations of
photographs' purporting to. exhibit the
horrible wounds inflicted by dumdum
bullets fired from British rifles or re
volvers.
Let us inquire into this dark bus!
ness. The bullet of the British ser
vice rifle, like the German -service
bullet. Is pointed and nickel-sheathed
and -is as humane a bullet as can be
made. The sheath prevents the bullet
from breaking into fragments save in
very exceptional circumstances, that
is, after a riccochette, . etc.. though
sometimes, as Sir Victor Horsely in
bis report on these bullets points out,
so-called explosive effects are some
times caused . by any projectile under
circumstances of a bullet fired at r el a
tlvely short range or possessing a resi
dual velocity exceeding 1500 feet per
second and passing . through a closed
body or cavity such as the skull or the
center of a hollow bone."-
, The German service bullet Is very
similar to the British service bullet.
Its muzzle velocity is rather more than
that of the British bullet and it
weight and "size rather less. s
Neither of these bullets would cause
wounds similar to those inflicted by
dumdum bullets, which are so evilly
destructive -because of their explosive
nature, except - in circumstances such
as related by Sir Victor Horsely. ,
Hague Beguialioas Sot Clear.
The regulations laid down by., thja
Hague conference Of 1907 are not very
clear in regard to the expanding bul
lets, the definition being confined to
prohibition ; of "Projectiles calculated
to cauBe suffering." x .
These recent regulations were, how
ever, based upon two international
declarations, one signed at St Peters-:
burg in 1868 on the subject of explosive-
projectiles and the other signed
at The Hague in 1899, which explic
itly stated that "Bullets with a hard
envelope which does not entirely cover
the core or is pierced with incisions,
ebould not be used."
Bullets with soft, cores and thin en
velopes which are shattered on contact
with the human body are not and have
rot been served out as ammunition to
British soldiers during the war. ;
Such bullets have not been in the
possession of British soldiers at any
time since the war began. N bullet
authorised by the British war office
could, in its legitimate shape, pro
duce the kind of wound seen in photo-.
grapns aisiriouiea ny tenaer near tea
German atrocity mongers in the United
States, whose nerves are unshaken by
the massacre of thousands of old men,
unarmed civilians, women and children
at Lou vain, Tremonde and elsewhere,
vibrate with horror at the wounds pro
duced by an explosive bullet which
never came from a British ammuni-,
uon nox. ... i
It is certainly a fact, however, that
soldiers treated in British hospitals
during the fighting in German Togo-
land had been wounded by bullets of
large calibre which contravened The
Hague conference, bones being shat-1
tered, and in the words of an official
memorandum, "tissue so damaged
that amputation had to be performed."
These bullets were found upon the
bodies of : prisoners, both natives and
Gersjana, captured in Togoland, also
on the bodies of dead native soldiers
serving with the Germans.. , .
German newspapers also greatly
play with the fact , that our revolver
ammunition, marks .4 and .5 pattern,
are flat at the fore . end instead of
coni6al Here they say is proof that
we have defied International law and
that these are dumdum bullets in
tended to produce ghastly wounds.
The dumdum bullet is not, however,
flat nosed. A flat nosed bullet is as
humane as-any other bullet. It is,
indeed: in absolute accordance. With in
ternational , law that these revolver
bullets with .flat fore end are "not
sheathed at all and have neither a
hard envelope or a .soft core.
They are in substance solid and of
one material. They do not expand and.
Indeed, are -less likely to expand than
; the regular service bullet in a sheath
