‘One of the most notable despatches:
| yet received from the ‘seat of war in

KIsurope. was . that which ‘embraced
these. sentences:

“Living in Brussels is not ex-—
pensive even now. A little meat
and. plenty of vegetables. take
one a long. way: * * * Even.
the very poor can afford such a
dinner in: Brussels.”

Brussels is the capital of Belgium,
a kingdom embracing territory less in
extent than that of the State of
Maryland. Its. population is almost
as great as'that of the States of Il-
linois and Indiana combined.. It has
more inhabitants to the.square mile
than any other nation in the world.

_ Although most of - the ablebodied
men.of this kingdom are under arms;
although on. one side it is overrun by
a great hostile army, and although
on. the other it. is. occupied. by a
iriendly allied force as large or larg-
there is as yet no pinch of: famine.
The markets are. oper. Speculation
has not seized upon the occasion. for
profit. The very poor as. well .as the
very rich supply their wants at pric-
es which the World correspondent de-
scribes as ‘extraordinarily cheap.”’

What is the situation in New York.
3,000 miles from the theatre of war?
Here everything that sustains life has
mounted in « price. Loaves of - bread
are shrinking in size. Weights and,
measures are being clipped. A cent
here, a nickle there,’a dime more for
this and. a: dollar more for that, ac-
