LITTLE LIFE IS SHOWN ABOUT

Surrounded by green lie Ids that
portend an unusual ban est and trans-
form a!! Belgium from the scene of
desolation that has been often pictur-
ed since the- lioiiinniiiH of the war.
lvouvain still stands as a monumental
wreck. Little of its former life has
crept back into its streets and the
walls of practically all of its buildings
are still crumbling ruins that have
not been removed and apparently will
not be. Here and there a wooden
shack has been errcied by some en-
terprising vendor of tobacco or post
cards but as a city it is still unin-
habitable. Vet Louvain is not entirely dead
and in one most important particular
work of renovation is going on apace
the renovation and restitution of its
wonderful cathedral which escaped
complete destruction only by a seem-
Ins miracle. The church now Is in
tlte hands of a score of workmen who
are painstaking restoring those por-
tions of the walls which are shaky

the altar which was burned by a
shWl which caught fire after it tore
through the roof above.
Competent architects who have vis.
ited the cathedral say that it has been
in no way weakened by the terrible
shelling that destroyed the rest of
Louvain and claim that with a very
little money it can be put back into
tho shape in which it was before the
war. The beautiful stained glass in
the windows to the rear of the altar
is absolutely undamaged. The altar
picture was removed before the shell
came which tore op-en the roof and
the majority of the works of irt and
other valuables in the huildini: are
now safely stored in the basement
of the Hotel de Ville across the way
ajmosi the only other -tnictiire in
Louvain was not razed.
It Is conceivably only I.ouvain's to-
tal (b molition that has prevented ef-
forts to rebuild it. for that has been
accomplished in many other of the
Belgian cities that wetv wrecked by
the Ciormans as they advanced toward
Franco. It has been accomplished so
completely in some cases that the
ignorant visitor would never know
there had been any war in the little
country. .
This is true of Natnur. to the south-
ward. Xatiiur played a conspicuous
part in the early days of the war.
and by no means eseaicd without
damage yet little of it is in evidence
today particularly among the forts
that were held to be invincible and
that today probably are so. Standing
high above the river Mouse these
forts present an absolutely unbroken
and undamaged appearance. Where
the great shells burst in the ma-sonry
one can only guess at for the holes
are gone. Only the hotel on the
very top of the hill on which the
fortifications are built is still in a
state of ruin.
In this hotel so goes the story
that many maintain is a fairy tale
there was the telephone central into
which ran the wires from all the
forts. The Germans advancing are
supposed to have learned of this vital
fact and to have trained their guns
effectively on this building first of
all so that the connecting lines were
cut and no one fort had any means
of communication with any other.
The German officers in Namur to-
day smile as they tell the story and
shake their heads. They admit that
it is quite possible that the Germans
should have learned the secret of the
position of "central" and also that the
aim of the guns might have been ac-
curate enough to destroy the build-
ing but they cannot quite believe
that the Belgians could have made
so grave a military mistake as to ex-
pose th'ir lines of communication
and prefer to think that the hotel
was burned in incendiary fashion and
the loss blamed onto the invaders.
In the country portions of Belgium
today there is scarcely a trace of war
beyond an occasional ruined building.
As in northern France the landscape
is infinitely more attractive than o
old because the extensive cultiva-
tion of sugar beets with their brown
growth has been discontinued and
wheat and corn with green shoots
have been substituted.
The destruction of Belgium may
have bee.i overestimated and exag-
gerated in the beginning. Whether
that or not. the combination of the
reconstruction efforts of the victors
and invaders and the forces of na-
ture in the springtime have made
of it once more a pleasantly smiling
country that taxes tho imagination
to draw a picture of war in progress.

0 HELD
FOR MURDER
OFFICERS AT ATCHISON KAS.
THINK THEY HAVE SLAYER OF
PAULINE AMSEL AT DURA NT IN
NOVEMBER 1914.
What promises to be the first clue
in the Paulino Amsel murder ca.-e
in Hurant. Okla.. was discovered this
week at Atch.son Kas. in the arrest
of Will Kelly a negro who Was being
held there on a charge of burmlary.
The man answers perfectly to the de.
scriptiitn of the one wanted for the
murder of the Amsel girl and Sheriff
.John Phillips of Durant will go to
Atchison this week to see whether or
no: Kelly is the man wanted.
The negro was arrested originally
at Armor .Mo. a small town just
across the Missouri river from Atchi-
son and was taken to Atchison it
being the nearest city where there
was a jail. He had stolen a suit of
clothes from the station agent of
Armor. Later it developed that the
man who had the description of a
negro who had been burglarizing some
houses in Atchison and he was then
turned over to the county officials
who recognizing the man by the de-
scription offered by the Oklahoma au-
tnoritles began an investigation.
Kelly claimed that he had never
been in Durant in his life and denied
all knowledge of the murder of the
Kl-year-old girl. He also denied
stealing the suit of clothes from the
agent at Armor but later confessed
to stealing it. For this reason the
officers are certain that when the
third degree is applied to the man
he will also admit the Amsel murder.
Just at present there is a squabble
at Atchison as to who shall receive
the $1.3o0 reward offered for the ar-
rest of the Amsel murderer in case
Kelly turns out to Ik? the man wanted.
If it develops that he Is the man
wanted in Oklahoma he can be ex-
tradited despite the fact he is being
held in Kansas on a charge of bur-
glary. The murder of the little Amsel girl
created much feeling in Denison at
the time of its occurrence on the
morning of November 11. l!tl 1 as
both the girl and her father Jake
Amsel were quite well known here.
The crime was committed at about
1:30 o'clock in the morning the
girl's throat being cut with a razor
the head being half severed on the
right side of the neck. The screams
of the girl aroused her father who
ran to her assistance. In his way to
the porch he met the man who was
trying to make his escape by running
to a flight of stairs. A struggle en-
sued and the murderer escaped leav-
ing: his hat the razor with which the
crime w;is committed and a revolver.
There was no apparent motive for
the killing as the man did not touch
money or silver which was lying on
a table nearby and for this reason
it was thought that the man must
have been insane or a fiend.
Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Amsel was

aware that their daughter had lieen
injured when she screamed and not
until the Intruder had heen chased to
the street did they return to the
porch where the girl was sleeping.
There they discovered blood on the
bed and a moment later found the
girl in Mrs. Amsel's room where she
had run after her throat had been cut.
She died about twenty minutes later.

CIGARETTES
It's a far cry from the
amorous skies of Smyrna to
the sunny slopes of Virginia
yet OMAR the Exquisite
draws its mellow richness
from the treasure-chests
of both. Their choicest
rarest tobaccos in incompar-
able harmony unite to make
OMAR the Perfect Turkish
Blend the cigarette that
sparkles with the mingled
sunshine of East and West.
OMAR is the ultra-climax of
cigarette deliciousness. If you have
been an "all-Turkish" smoker
you'll find OMAR far richer in
snappy relish. And as for other
blended cigarettes not one can
compare with OMAR in its smooth
flavor and aromatic fragrance.
