FURNES, VVeHt Flanders, Jan. 11—
(Correspondence or the Associated
T’ress)—From the main headquarters
of the Belgian army In the Hotel de
Vllle here, one gets perhaps the most
colorful glimpse of the trappings of
war that may be had anywhere among
the Allies. It Is a picturesqueness
Inciting In the khakl-clad England.
In front of the Hotel tie Vllle Is the
square where the rulers of three of
the allied powers met tlielr generals
severnl weeks ago. Here the most
modern war vehicles jostle the prim
itive when the armored car locks
wheels with a cape covered, mule
drawn cart of the French African sol
dier. The square Is packed with ev
ery description of conveyance. Be
fore the door of headquarters Is a
line of war-stained automobiles still
showing the traces of their aristocrat
ic past. In the middle of the square
motorhusses, converted Into kitchens,
and commissariat wagons, are sur
rounded by a hungry mob of sol
diers.
The uniforms are bewildering Ir.
their variety. The most conspicuous
is the red-trousered French Infantry
man. Some French cavalrymen are
present with their helmets disporting
its long horse tail, but with the bright
metal covered with dull leather. Bel
gian guides In their green with red
trimmings add to the color, while
the quiet note Is struck by the Bel
gian artillery In American army blue.
But the most picturesque effect Is
provided by the French and Belgian
African troops. Many thousand of
them have marched through Fumes
this week. Their officers. In high
cantled saddles, are mounted on beau
tiful horses. They wear long blue,
redlined capes which float behind
them as they gallop along, with ev
erything but the background for a
desert picture. The soldiers wear a
more sober colored caps, with a tur
banltke hood. Their blue bolero
Jackets are trimmed with gold and
they wear baggy corduroy trousers.
These Africans seem as distrustful
of their white allies transport as of
his food nnd for hours the little hood
ed carts, each drawn by three small
unkempt mules threaded their way
through the square. Behind the carts
came trains of pnck mules loaded
with ammunition and entrenching
tools, and looking like a prospector’s
outfit In the Hocky mountains.
t The squnre Is a bustle of constant
bustle nnd nctlvlty. Staff officers
come and go, the Belgian wnr minis
ter bustles In for a few minutes con
ference with the King and his staff,
and away again In his military car.
t’avalry regiments with sleek horses,
rested now after their terrible re
treat from Antwerp, line up for in
spection. while a cyclist corps, In from
a scouting foray, clean nnd reparr
trenches. Unattached units play a
about waiting for orders or food. Sud
denly a pig strays Into the square
and after a chase around and under
some armored cars ho is captured and
disappears Into a house just off the
square, where some soldiers are quar
tered. He makes his next appenr
ance at a portable field kitchen cap
tured from the Germans and now
standing before a ninth century church
In which a thousand soldiers have
slept the night before in straw cover
ing the stone flagging.
These are the actual fighting men
on almost constant duty, yet the key
note Is gaiety.
When a group of their officers gath
er about the dining table In the quaint
old hotel, with the date 1573 carved
in its oaken beams, war Is the su
preme topjlc, but Its grlmness is re
lieved by jokes and laughter. In a
moment of silence the judge advocate
tells how at midnight the night be
fore he condemned five spies to death,
one of these a womnn caught dressed
in the robes of a priest. All had been
shot at sunrise that morning. A mo
ment of gravity followed the story,
then the whole table laughed over
the misfortunes of a reserve officer,
in peace times a wine merchant, who
described In most comical terms the
capture by the Germans of his cellar.
Of civilian life there is scarcely a
trace, brown rol>ed monks move about
but as their business is chiefly con
cerned with the sick and wounded,
they become a part of the war scene.
The tradesmen, mostly old men, gel
dom venture forth from their shops.
No children play In the streets, and
a woman in public Is a rare sight.
MANCHU DVNASTY NO
LONGER POPULAR IN CHINA
1’KKING, Jan. ll—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press—In reply to
a document recently printed and circu
lated by a supported of the Manchu
Dynasty, the Republican Government
has Issued a statement concerning the
dangers of attempting "to act con
trary to the wishes of the people,’
saying that “it is .no longer possible
for one fnmily to govern China.” That
this is the popular opinion seems tc
be borne out by the fact that the
newspapers, tltough some of then are
not very friendly to the government
condemn always any attempt at res
toration of the Manchus. The authoi
of the reactionary pamphlet is an old
man who has been engaged, it is said
In compiling a history of the Chin*
Dynasty, and his studies and labori
have probably inspired his enthus
iasm. lie is to be sent to his home ir
Szechwan Province, and his fainilj
are to be made responsible for his loy
alty to the Republic. It Is the time
honored custom in China to make j
whole family liable to improsonment
banishment, and even death, for th<
action of one of them.

N t W RAILROADS
TO BE BUILT
PEKING, Jan. 11—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—The Rus
sian legation has nffirmed to the As
sociated Press correspondent here the
truth of the reported Russian agree
ment with Mongolia as to the con
struction of railways in that country,
hitherto untraversed by steel.
The terms of the agreement are in
teresting to those who foresee, among
other constructions, that of a line a
cross the Gobi Desert connecting
Kalgan, where the Chinese railway
reaches the great wall of China, with
the Trans-Siberian route somewhere
west of Lake Ralkni. Such a junc
tion would put Europe even two days
nenrer to Peking, which can now he
reached from Paris—In normal times
in less than thirteen days.
Among Chinese officials, who had not
censed to hope that the nominal su
.J vuiiia lO 1101(1
over Mongolia would prevent the ne
gotiation of such an agreement with
out ratification by the Chinese gov
ernment, the knowledge that such an
agreement had been concluded causes
considerable annoyance. The lead
ing Chinese paper In Peking says that
"if the agreement is a fact it will,
of course, be submitted to the Tri
partite Conference-meaning that of
Mongolia, Russia and China.
The Russian legation says that the
agreement is a fact, and that by Its
terms, while the Russian government
recognizes the permanent right of the
Mongolian government to build rail
ways within its own territory, the Rus
sian and Mongolian governments shall
consult each other upon the matter,
so that the lines will benefit both
countries.
As the poverty of the nation of
tent-dwelling Mongols precludes the
possibility of their building their own
rnilways. It Is said, the agreement
practically binds the Mongolian gov
ernment to Russia In railway mat
ters.
Mongolia may build railways with
Mongolian cnpital without consulting
Russia; "But should the Mongolian
government concede such right to oth
er countries, the Mongolian govern
ment, for the sake of the friendly re
lations with Russia, should discuss
the project with the Russian govern
ment before the former makes the
actual concessions, in order to ascer
tain whether the projected lines would
jeopardize Russian interests from an
economical and stragetic standpoint."
In case the construction of rail
ways is financed by the Russian gov
ernment, the Mongolian or by pri
vate persons, the Russian govern
ment will render adequate help to the
Mongolian government.

GERMAN ARMY LIMITED
USE ALCOHOLIC SUPPLIES
AMSTERDAM, Jan. ll-*Tl’orre
spondence of the Associated Press) —
The German War Department has
written another paragraph Int > the
history of the use of alcoholics in this
war.
It says: ‘‘At first, alcohol supplies
a certian liveliness, but with the con
sumption of large quantities it causes
somnolence. Experiences teaches
that abstinent soldiers can best resist
the fatigues of war. Besides, the use
of alcohol leads to excess and dis
soluteness. Alcohol, therefore, is to
be used with the greatest care, and is
to be absolutely avoided on the march.
For giving warmth It is not to be re
commended. The warmth which it
conveys is entirely deceptive. All in
: authority are requested to pay strict
attention to the necessity of limiting
’ its use.’”
