A despatch from London says: The German reign of terror in Belgium is taking its.full course, the special cor- respondent of the Times at Amster- dam telegraphs. "The Telegraaf," he says, "earns that lists of burghers designated for forced labor in pursuance of the new German order are posted everywhere in Belgium. Many burghers already have been removed. "Oh Monday another 5,000 citizens were taken from Ghent and sent to Germany. Though a telegram from the German Wolff Agency reports there were 1,000 spectators at the opening of the so-called Flemish uni- versity at Ghent, including 'teachers and students, the occasion passed un- observed by the majority of the in- habitants because of the impression caused by the removal of so many citizens. "The 5,000 were taken to the rail- road station amid tears and lamenta- tions. Groups of citizens drove through the town in vehicles, singing patriotic songs and sarcastic verses about the Germans, but there was no resistance. "The previous week there were dis- turbances in which burghers were wounded. The impotence of the people You should always keep a bottle of Chamberlain', Stomach and Liver Tablets on the ehelf.

A despatch 'from Providence, Rhode Island, says: -The Memel in a des- patch from London on Friday says: "British Admiralty officials are de- lighted with the marvellous work that has been doneinBritish dockyards in the building of new Dreadnoughts. Wonderful results, which have not up to this time been made pablic, have been accomplished in this direction. Twelve new battleships of the Super. dreadnoughtbype are now practical- ly reasly for sea. Four of these, the four largest and most powerful wea- pons of offence that have ever been placed on the water, are 850 feet long, with a speed of over thirty knots, and are armed withetvvelve 18 -inch guns. No such armament as this has ever before been contemplated in the his- tory of naval architecture, and it is considered 'that ships of this type are capable of winning any see fight in which they may be engaged," 132 ALLIED PLANES T6 AID ROUMANIA Four British Machines Fly 300 Miles From Inbros to Bucha- rest. A despatch from London says: - One hundred and twenty-eight French aeroplanes have arrived in Roumania for reconnaissance work on the Tran- sylvania and Dobeuclja fronts, says a despatch from Bucharest to the Wire- less Press. Four Britishh" aeroplanes arrived at the Roumanian capital on Thursday from Imbros, an island of the Grecian archipelago. Flying from the Island of eImbros across central Bulgaria to Branarest in a straight line, the British machines travelled a distance of about 300 miles. HEAVY REINFORCEMENTS CONFRONT THE SERBS Battle for Monastir Grows More Severe and Likely To Be Prolonged. A despatch from London says :- The Chronicle's Athens correspondent says : The battle for Kammer con- tinues with unabated vigor, but the centilitre' arrival of the enemy's rein- forcements makes the struggle a very severe one, and likely to last for some time yet, seeing that the Roumanian pressure has failed to relieve the situ- ation. On the contrary, the Reigate have been able to send men from the Danube to the Monastir front, BRAVE NAVAL CHAPLAINS. " Stories of Their Cahn Daring in the Jutland Battle. Mr. Arthur Pollen, in Land and Water, gives those stories of the bravery of naval ehaplains in the re- cent fight: • "In the 6 -inch battery of one. ship an enemy shell set ere to a cordite charge, and there being others in close proximity, the officer of quar- ters at once gave" orders to clear the battery. Before the order could he obeyed, two boys: were knocked over by the ignition of a second charge. "A naval chaplain went back, brushed the burning propellant off them and pulled them out, and got badly burned about the face and hands in doing so. With every -fea- ture disfigured and almost blinded, he was led, almost by force, below. The pain must have been exerutiating. But he protested he was an absolute fraud, not a bit hurt,tand that they- - ought to be giving their attention to people who were seriously injured. • "Another chaplain, hit in the spine, was told by the doctor that he only had a few hours to live. He sat in the chair, conversing cheerily with those around him till death came -by far the least concerned of all in the com- pany." BRITISH GIRLS AS SHELL MAKERS CAPABLE AS MAN IN INDUS- TRIAL TRENCHES. Receive Shells In the Rough and Com- plete Them Ready for the Gun. The English women are busy. Their men have gone to the war, and to those doomed to sit at home and wait for news a complicated machine which requires incessant attention can be a very real comfort. The machine is al- most human; it is the result of the concentrated/ intelligence of "-some clever man -it does the work so ad- mirably, without effort and without fatigue -roughing, turning, polishing, with automatic precision. Situation Entirely Changed. • At the outbreak of war woman, to her dismay, found, herself confronted by the idea, fostered by generations of men, that, whatever her country's need, she must remain industrially in- capable., Now this is all changed; the errorist who preached this doctrine has been swept away by. the rushing tide of ;events, and woman, no longer chained to the rock ef convention, is hisirpy in the thought that in the in- dustrial trenches she is as capable as the man. The workers themselves have been the first to acknowledge this, and have yielded their places willingly, knowing that their country will gain and not lose by their going. Armed with soy permit from the British Ministry of Munitions, I was privileged recently to see the Liver- pool women at work, writes Mary Fraser. Their occupation was the distinctively unfeminine one of them ing heavy shells. I entered expecting to see haggard faces, signs of gigan- tic effort and unaccustomed toil; I anticipated dirt and malodor. Instead I saw cheerful flitting figures, not un - picturesque in their uniforms, every woman in the shed showing an almost affectionate familiarity with her lathe. Now, a lathe can be a fearsome thing, especially when it is a "turret" one - and blocks of steel weighing 100 pounde are not exactly feminine' toys; even when a shell body has had a con- siderable amount of material taken out of it it is distinctively heavier than a tennis ball. I watched a slim young girl at work. Deftly rolling the rough "body" along the floor she knelt and embraced it as if it were a doll, and slipping a halter around its neck, with the aid of a light crane she fitted it into the lethe, and within the space of a couple of min- fence, Minister of Lands, and several utes had her machine at work.

SIR JOSEPH WARD EMPIRE BUILDER FORMER PREMIER OF NEW MA. LAND IS SELF-MADE MAN. He Has Always Been An Advocate of Compulsory Service for Home Defence. Like that other famous New Zea- land statesman, "Dick" Seddon, eir Joseph Ward is a self-made man. His father died when he was bare- ly three years old, and his mother could afford him no better education than that given in the ordinary State schools. At fourteen he became a telegraph messenger, usually regarded in this country at all events as a typical "blind alley" occupation. It did not turn out so, however, in his case. His restless energy had to find an outlet. He became, in turn, clerk in a merchant's office, reporter on a newspaper, and then he engaged in railway work prior to starting in business for himself as a grain ex- porter. All this, before he was twenty-one, at which age he first began to take a practical interest in politics. At thirty he entered Parliament, and four years later he halt meson to cabinet renk. In 1906 he became Prime Minister of New Zealand, a post which he held for six years; and he has also filled the offices of Minister of Finance, Postmaster -General, Minister ot De - Sir Joseph Ward. from the ground.

Ever since the war broke out "Charlie" Monro, as he is generally called in army circles, has been hard at it. Appointed a divisional commander under Sir John (now Lord) French at the beginning of hostilities, he was one of the generals who directed the series of splendid rear -guard ac- tions fought by the small British army all the way from Mons to the Marne. Then, in the early days of Seaton, - bee when the British and French turned at bay and drove the Germans back almost from within sight of Paris, he was again conspicuous, but in the front this time, not in the rear. Later on he succeeded General Fir Ian Hamilton in the command of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Form, and in this capacity he was respon- sible for that wonderful withdrawal of the British army from Gallipoli which has been truthfully termed one of the biggest successful hluffe Irl the history of war. In Charge at Gallipoli, ;tee Supposed competent judges had estimated the probable casualties of the evacuation at ten thousand. Gen- eral Monro re -embarked his entire force with only negligible losses, and right under the eyes of the Turks, who, however, were so completely de- ceived that they continued shelling the empty trenches for several hours af- ter the last man had been verthdrawn. General Sir Charles 'Carmichael Monro, K.C.B., to give him his full !title, is a Scotsman, and has to his ,! credit thirty-seven years' service. 1The youngeit son of the late Henry 'Moneta of Craiglockart, Midlothian, he was born in 1860, and is thus five years younger than Sir Beauchamp Duff, whom he succeeds in India as commander-in-chief. He qualified for the army at the age of nineteen, and was gazetted to the old 2nd Foot, now the Royal West Surrey Regiment. He first saw active service in various "little expe- 1 dittoes" directed against the turbu- lent hill tribes dwelling across the northtevestern frontier -notably, the elohmand and Tirah affairs. i Next the South African War broke out, and for three' years he fought and toiled with his regiment in the long-drawn-out series- of hostilities, including the relief of Kimberley and the Paardeberg and Driefontein oper- ations.
