U-- -
CONDITION OF FLANDERS.
Belgian Army Headquarters in
Flanders, Saturday, Oct. 2(5.—That
part of Belgium just liberated by the
armies under command of King Al
bert has suffered little in compari
son with other parts of the little king
' dom and northern France.
Western Flanders is virtually in
tact north of the Lys and east of the
old battle line.
From the region of Nieuport to
south of Ypres the stretch of ground
apd^the- territory for six or more
~~miles on either side which was the
battle round for 4 years, judged by
the numerous little black crosses that
are scattered all about, might be
called “Dead Man’s Land.” East of
this region, however, there are vil
lages untouched by the war with lux
uriant farms and happy liberated
towns.
West of the line which the British !
and Belgians held four long years
many villages and towns have been |
destroyed by German artillery fire, j
Furnes is only an empty shell of tot- j
tering walls and Pervyse is merely a !
name. A post bearing the name of
the village is the only thing remain- !
ing to show where Ramscapelle stood.
In this region poison gas has killed j
all vegetation and the trees stand
gaunt and bare of foliage.
GOV. BROUGH RECEIVES
“ILLUSTRATED MILLINER."
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 31.—Gov. Brough
has received a copy of the September
issue of the “Illustrated Milliner,”
which is devoted entirely to the

the governors of the various states.
On one page is a splendid illustration
of the Arkansas state capital, : ?td a
picture of Governor Brough, accom
panied by his message in which he
says;
“This war must be fought until
Germany is beaten and her people
sue for peace, a lasting peace, that
will be of benefit to humanity for
years to come.
“To bring the war to a quick and
triumphant conclusion it is the duty
of every citizen to contribute the
needs of the government with their
money to the utmost limit of their
ability.
