THE HEART'S AWAKENING.
My heart was sleeping quietly.
Nor love had stirred its beat.
When on a day which fate decreed
Thy glance I chanced to meet!
Then like a wild and captive thing,
It pressed its prison walls—
Afraid of those who stormed without
'Twas Love and Passion come to call!

DISPOSITION OF
PROPERTY IB
(By Associated Press)
PARIS. Oct. 22.—The obligatory de
claration by French citizens of proper
ty, real or personal, belonging to
them, and situated in countries at war
with France, decreed recently, is ex
plained officially to be “necessary to
determine what measures should be
taken by Germany, but with a more
French citizens in the enemy’s terri
tory and to negotiate with the allies
as to concerted measures.
This information will also be re
qflired in peaoe negotiations, it
is pointed out, to enable the govern
ment to defend both public and private
interests and safeguard an important
part of the national wealth.
Similar measures were long ago
taken by German, but with a more
radical purpose in view — the actual
confiscation of the property of French
subjects, according to the view held
hore. Retaliation has been advocated
and even recommended by parliamen
tary committees. The decree does not
intimate that the government intends
to go that far. The main object is
to arrive at an approximate estimate
of the value of the pledges of this
kind held by Germany, Austria, Tur
key and Bulgaria.
The decree applies to property held'
by the Germans in occupied French
territory. There are some necessary
exceptions arising from obvious diffi
culties of application.

CELLARS BOHR
LONDON, Oct. 22. — Bomb proofs
in office buildings are the latest in
London. Many of the largest office
buildings are constructing "dugouts"
like the American cyclone cellars to
protect their employees during air
raids. The usual dugout is a thick
parapet of sand bags in the basement
On the ground floor above bags of
sand are piled up three or four feet
high. At the first alarm the office
forces are ordered to flee to the cel
lar. Even if the building collapses
the dugout would afford protection. In
one big office building arrangements
j are made in the basement for the en
tire force of 800 employees with spe
cial emergency exits to the bomb
proofs. Other buildings are shielding
the elevator shafts to prevent bombs
dropping into the basement and wreck
ing the structure.
