Ostend. 1 was right up on tho firing line near Lokeren when tho Belgians were ordered to retreat from tho trenches and was carried along in tho frantic rush for shelter beyond tho range of German shells.

They fought bravely and well. Tho trenches were not vacated anywhere till tho rain of German shells meant sheer massacro it tho defenders re mained.

Horse meat has been substituted for beet at most of tho hotels and restau rants. Otherwise thero is no lack of food at normal prices. Every day, spies aro arrested in and near Ostend. Ono man was seized after chalking in a corner of the vil lage railway station eomo figures tho Interpreters supposed indicated tho strength of tho allies in the neighbor hood. He was dressed aB a simple peasant and showed evidence of be ing a man of superior education, which, with the incriminating memoranda and the chalk marks at tho station, sealed his doom. A.

An incident of the battlo betwoon tho French and Germans near Estomay and Sezanna is thus de scribed in a Paris dispatch.

"It will thus bo Been that the Ger mans took a fortnight to drive their wedge Into tho southeastern section of tho defenses," tho correspondent con tinues, "and this speaks volumes for tho stubbornness of the defense.

It is clear that a vast ma jority of tho population of Antwerp did not bellovo till tho very last minute that tho city would ho bombarded.

Tho Germans lost 40,000 men in tho capturo ot Antwerp, ac cording to Paul Erio, special corre spondent of tho Journal, who writes: "Tho heroic Belgian defense of forts Waelhem, Wavro and Llerre, forming tho outer ring, cost tho Germans very dear. General von lleseler throw com pact masses of troops into the inter walls, where tho Belgians poured a withering infantry flro on the assail ants. "South ot the third line of defenses German bodleB aro now piled in heaps. This happened at tho beginning of the assault. South of Fort Bornhelm the Belgians Interred 3,200 German corpses. "When Von Beselcr managed to cross tho Nethe and Install lGVi-lnch guns on the north hanks, shells fell In Antwerp llko hailstones. Most of tho remaining population then retired to cellarB with food, placing mat tresses and Backs filled with earth against tho doors and window grat ings. "As soon ns Antwerp was occupied tho GermanB began to fortify it If given a little time thoy will, with tho help of their heavy artillery, make it practically Impregnable." Kaiser's Cattle Captured.

A dispatch to the Star from Potrograd says that among the romarkablo war trophies arriving at Smolensk is the entlro stock of Em peror William's famous pedigreed cat tlo and horses, captured by the Rus sians from the emperor's estate at Romlnten, East Prussia. They were taken to Moscow and presented to the Russian Agricultural institute for dis tribution among agricultural breeding associations. Tho German artillerymen beat their assailants off with a hellish fire, which tho French artillery tried in vain to silence. Until late In the evening tho battery continued Its deadly work un til its ammunition becamo oxhaustcd and tho men wero either dead or wounded. "When I arrived tho bravo crow had already beon burled, and tho guns Btlll rested on trees which tho men hnd placed under tho wheols in order that tho pieces might not disappear in the mud."

Manu facturers have improved the quality of tho now plushea or "fur clothB" tor making buUb and costumes by making thorn lighter in weight, more supplo and handsomer than ever. Somo ot them are marvelously faith ful copies of certain furs, as broad tall and mole. They aro made in s greater number of colors than In for mer seasons and there is no doubt ot their success in entire costumes. In any representative display ot suits and costumes thoso models em ploying fur cloth are found combined with plain smooth-surfaced cloths. Occasionally contrasting colors aro used but much oftener the two cloths are ot exactly the same shade. The rich but sedato colors, fashionable for the coming season, play into the Three Hats for HATS elaborate and rich enough to grace the smartest of occasions are shown in tho pretty group pictured here. One of them camo from that celebrated woman among French de signers to whom some excellent Judges of millinery would hand tho bluo rib bon if a contest for supremacy were on. This delightful and novel headpiece from Madame Georgette is a rather 8mall hat with narrow drooping brim ot velvet. The odd crown is like a fan, supported at the left side by a band which narrows to tho right until it almost disappears. Tho crown 1b made of overlapping strlfs of a fancy braid and might bo effectively man aged with velvet or other ribbon. At the front a tall fancy feather of ostrich and chenlllo makes a decora tion full of dash. Tho hat is worn at a saucy tilt but its lines are so well managed that nothing of its elegance Is lost Entirely different in character is tho picturesque and oxqulslto brimmed hat which first came to tho eyes of woman Iklnd in a New York establishment It (cannot suffer by comparison oven with jso good an example of French art as I the Georgette turban. 4 ' V i aBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBT .sflBBBBBBBBBBW.

Matthew gives us perhaps tho fullest account of Ills last acts and tho part he had lu thoso final hours of tho suffering uud death of .Jesus Mary's act of anointing, by Jesus commended, nnd by Judas condemned, caused Mm latter to faro forth for his final act of fulthless Infamy. Con trasted with tho odor of her good deed, wo hero have tho stench of an evil deed I. The Bargain, vv. 14-25. (1) The Price, vv. 14-16. Disappointed In his hopes Unit Jesus would establish an earthly kingdom wherein ho should hold a high position, stung by tho re buke ot vv. 10-IU (cC John 111: l-S) nnd moved by cupidity, Judas hurries to tho enemies of Jesua (seo John 13: 27). Ho saw no further opportunity to profit through "holding tho bag," John Kii-it, and so got what ho could ,from tho rulers. Ho estimated his worth at 30 pieces of silver about sev enteen or nineteen dollars, or tho vnluo of a slavo; see Ex. 21:22 and Phil. 2:7, also tho prophecy of Zcchar lah 11:12-13. Hate, onvy, disappointed ambition, nnd cupidity drovo JudaB with relentlessncsB in his flnnl act of infamy. Verily, "Whatsoever a man sowcth, that shall ho also reap." Gal. 16:7. (2) The Penalty, vv. 17-25. As wo read tho various accounts of that tragic Inst night we noto that being wnrned and singled from among the other disciples in no wlso moved Judas to repentenco. Tho conspiracy, sep Matt 26:1-5, 14-16, had beon consura. mated beforo that Inst meeting In the appor room. Must Be Born Again. Even grace cannot save us in our slnB. All of his gifts, his nearness to tho Son of God, hlB knowledge, first handed, of those marvelous teachings of Jesus, did not grip his heart. Head knowledge alono nover saved anyone. It 1b not enough even to be numbered among the disciples. There, must bo a new creation, we must bo born again, John 3:7. In verso 24 we read the final warning and John tells us (13:27) that following theso words ho is com manded to "go out quickly." II. The Betrayal, vv. 47-50. Thero nro four stages in this episode: (1) In tho houso of Simon at tho anointing of Jesus by Mary; (2) Tho ono just con sidered nnd which took placo in tho "upper room" in connection with tho Pasflover feast; (3) Tho third is tho subject of "ils paragraph and took placo in tho Garden following tho ovonta of Inst week'B lesson. Thla plcturo has been painted bo often as to bo familiar to us all. Tho Son of Man, tho advancing apostnto dUclplo, tho mob; what an appalling Bceno. Judas had probably led first to tun house whenco ho had left Jesus. Find ing Jesus nnd tho dlBolples had de parted (v. 30) ho knew where, In all probability, ho would find tho Master. It was a familiar resort for Jesus and his disciples, John 18:2, 3. Judas had often snt under theso same olive trees and listened to him who "taught aB nover man taught." It was also a placo sacred to prayer. How things aro changed. Judas had allowed Satnn to enter his heart (John 13:27, seo also James 4:7) nnd with eager feet ho crosses tho brook Kedron, past the disciples nnd into tho presence ol Jesus to betray him with a kiss. The Final Stage. III. "He Went and Hanged Him self" 27:3-10. Tho fourth and final stago is reached when, seeing that Jcbub Is condemned and about to bo executed, Judas, filled with remorse, carried back tho 30 pieces ot silver to tho chief prlcBts and tho elders. What an exhibition of hypocrisy thoy evi denced, not to tnke tho prlco of blood, forsooth! JudaB did not really repent. Tho word hero used for "repent" is. rather that ho suffered remorse, and that docs not necessarily Involve re pentance as we all know. Had he truly repented he would not havo hanged himself and bo would havo been saved even as the repentant thief was saved. There 1b no necessary contradiction between this and the account given in Acts 1:8. "If he hanged himself in tho 'field of blood' and the ropo broke tho account given in Acts would naturally follow." The Teaching. Ab we recall these final things in tho lite ot Judas wo must remember that they are not tho beginnings of his defection. Tho de velopment of tho lives of Judas and Peter nro profoundly different Both looked for a temporal kingdom and both wore out of sympathy with the teachings of Jesus as to tho necessity ot his death. Ono, for personal gain, betrayed, and tho other, for self-protection, denied hlB Lord. When Judas saw Jesus condemned, ho too saw tho end ot his dreams tho samo as Potor.
