Belgian's Army Reorganized In Exile;

Factories Behind HEADQUARTERS OF THE. BELGIAN ARTILLERY ESTABLISHMENT BEHIND THE ALLIES FRONT May 30. Here, where the Belgian army is making its own cannon, its own rifles, its own shells, its j own transport wagons, its own saddles and harness, one can appreciate how other outstanding features of the war have unduly obscured the Belgian military effort since the battles of 1914. The Belgian army-had six divisions of Infantry and two divisions of cavalry left to hold a line of approximately eighteen miles or just-about four men to the yard of front, a front where particular vigilante is required because of the German tactics of constant trial attacks. No part of the allies' line is more closely watched and explored by the enemy's patrols. A weak spot anywhere would provoke an immediate offensive. The Belgian army has had to work incessantly to keep up its breastworks and at the same time put up an unremitting defense. The solidity of that defense, It may not be sufficiently remembered Is an , important factor in giving to the British and French armies liberty of movement in operations on other parts of the line. Belgium lost all her manufacturing establishments and aU her resources In raw materials in the defeat of the allies at Charleroi and the retreat from Antwerp, yet Monsieur de Broqueville minister of war, with Belgian ingenuity, skill and perseverance, has built up on the hospitable soil of France artillery and munition establishments that not only enable the Belgian army to reply shot for shot to the Germans on the Yser front but also contribute to the armament and the supplies of the allied armies. It was to the United States that Monsieur De Broqueville looked immediately - after the termination of heroic defense of. Belgian soil on the Yser for the reconstitution of Belgian industry. Specialists were sent to purchase -American machine tools for the manufacture of everything the army needed and when the machines arrived, mechanics released from military service, were ready to operate them. Fourteen thousand workmen are today employed in those establishments. The Invasion found the Belgian army In the midst of an entire reorganization of its artillery. Siege cannon ordered from the Krupp works in Germany had not been furnished.' Millions of cartridges ordered from the same source also had been held up. It was with a disorganized armament and insufficient material that the Belgians held the Germans before Liege. Before Antwerp, in the retreat to Flanders and in the defense of the Yser and it may be said that the remaining debris of the armament and munitions was exhausted. The wornout field guns, brought back in the retreat to the Yser, were partly replaced by French three inchers but at that time all the allies were short of their requirements in armament and munitions. , . The Belgian government began in exile to work out its great problem of war supplies. Today it furnishes saddles and harness to the British army and other supplies to all its allies, including Russian, besides keeping up the equipment of its new army. The Belgian army is new in nearly "THIRTY FEET FROM SEVENTH STREET."

Of the 120,000 In the field and 60,000 men who garrisoned the forts, 30,000 fell into the hands of the Germans at Liege, Namur and In the retreat; 30,000 more took refuge in Holland and were interned; and 14,000 were lost on the Yser in addition to more than 20,000 killed and wounded in the battles of Liege, Haelen, St. Trond. " r - - The reorganization was difficult Unable to call a session of parliament to revise recruiting laws to accord with the new situation, the government could only appeal to the patriotism of refugees and In England and France." The response was such as to reconstitute an army of six divisions of infantry and two divisions of cavalry, while 14,000 men were detached for the manufacture of munitions in France and 600 sent to Russia for the same purpose. About 30,000 more men were raised by decree calling up all Belgians eligible for service between 18 and 40 yars old. A regiment of auto cannon recruited among th Belgian refugees and trained in Paris was sent to the Russian front, where is played an important part in Brussiloff's offensive in Galicia and Volhynia In the spring of 1916. Garden Question Corner0 Editor's note E. F. Murphy, civic gardener, will answer all questions about your garden in The Palladium; write to 'him. Mr. E. F. Murphy: 1 , My potatoes have come through the ground. What is the first thing I should, do? R. A. Answer If you have a large patch, run a harrow over the ground with teeth slanted slightly. Disregard the potato plants when harrowing. You may cover a few plants up by this method of cultivation. These plants will come through the dirt again. This cultivation will add several bushels to your potato crop. If you have a small back-yard garden, accomplish the same results by the use of a rake. Dear Mr. Murhpy: Is Bordeaux mixture for killing potato bugs? H. A. P. Answer Bordeaux mixture is for fungus diseases such as potato blight. (Early blight) and late blight and rot. At the same time one is controlling potato blight by the use of Bordeaux mixture, he may kill the potato bugs by adding arsenate of lead or Paris green to the Bordeaux mixture, thus accomplishing two purposes with only one operation. Use 2 ounces of Paris green or pound of arsenate of lead to 15 gallons of the Bordeaux mixture. - A tram car operated just outside of Tokio, Japan, is run by two man power.

Few Men

ever keep tab on the exact mileage a Tire has given them, with the result it's taken for granted that the Tire purchased with a specific mileage guarantee has given full value. Few men go back for adjustment They rather assume the loss in preference to going through the usual red tape to get the ad-, justment. Few stores have the authority to make adjustments usually the Tire is sent back to the factory, the purchaser paying the expressage both ways, and after weeks of uncertainty he is usually allowed Three or Four Dollars on the purchase of a new Tire. Few Tire Stores have the CHALLENGE SYSTEM and Plan of Adjustment, that means Satisfaction to each and every Customer. Every CHALLENGE SALESMAN is authorized to make adjustment, there and then, in keeping with the Customer's views. The treatment accorded is an every day occurrence, it being in keeping with our policy of
