They have lost home, money, clothing, everything, and but for the ready and kindly help of the r Refugees' Committees would be both friendless and destitute. All that can be done Sot them Is belnp done, and many houses In the West End and In the suburbs of the elty are being placed at thrlr disposal. It Is estimated that since the beginning of the war about 18,000 refugees have ar rived at Folkstone. The hotels and boarding houses there are crowded with them, and they 111 1 the streets In every direction. But It Is not the usual holiday crowd which Kolltstono knows so well. These Bad-faced people who walk soberly about or gather In little groups to discuss topics which are of absorbing Interest to them, are not happy, rollicking holiday makers nor Is their language that which Is usually heard at the plctuicsquc te sort. Folkstone Is now a city of iofu Kecs. They have come from all parts of France and Belgium, particularly Bel glum, and In Increasing numbers as the days hnc passed. A fortnight ago "c) people would have boon considered a large number to arrive In one daj. This week 5009 Is no uncommon number, and the vast majority of these hae been refugees. They have been of all classes, the very poor, who are cared for by the relief committee, being a comparatively small proportion. Though every boat from Ox tend and Dieppe now brings a number of little groups of families, who have evi dently gathered together all their most rherlshed possessions in small bundles, and with little or In some cases no money In their pockets, the.v have come to Kng land confident that they will not be Allowed to starve. WELCOME IN" STRANG K LAND. The arrival In Folkestone of each batch of these refugees Is a most Interesting atudy and a most ImpressHe one. Their joy upon stepping for the first time In most instances, upon the soli of Eng land Is alwajs evident. They smile at the officials, who always treat them with consideration and respect, some of them cheer and seem, for the moment at least, Immensely happy and relieved. Folkestone has seen many happy re unions and many pathetic disappoint ments In the last few days. One old man, ' who had been separated from his wife in Belgium, was on th quay the other day " "then the Ostend boat came in. "There she is! There she Is'" he cried, dancing about In his excitement, .is he explained to all who were standing by liou they had become separated, and how he had doubted If they would ever meet again. On the other hand there are scores of people who stand each day for hours out side the station gates scanning each face as people pass out, and who come nway sadly each night when they are told that the last passenger has left the Quay. Last night hundreds of refugees ar rived at Charing Cross station, most of them coming from Antwerp. Waiting for them on the platform were all sorts of willing, kindly helpers. There were Red Cross nurses. Boy Scouts, Catholic priests and a host of lady Interpreters, who had volunteered for the work. A fleet of motorcars, organized by the War Refugees' Committee, was waiting to take the travelers to their destinations. EXILES FROM CONVENT. Not the least pathetic were a party of nearly 60 nuns of the order of the Little Sisters of tho Poor, who had been driven out of their convents In Brinifoli and other parts of Belgium. English sisters of their order were waiting for them. Only one thing was lacking In tho ad mirable arrangements made for tho re ception of the refugees hardly any of tho Interpreters spoke Flemish. Several of the poorer people knew no other language, and there were few who could understand them. Flemish-speaking resi dents of London who wish to do what they can for these poor wanderers have been requested to rummunicate with the War Refugees' Committee at tho General Buildings, Aldwch. jPovnus oztjr WmwffeS i$r I KH W ?W ' ' ' & CHATEAU frSr 71y l ?VUX!fiJ VWav 0"W'-jiPrfc i ' .

While the Germans claim to have retaken the Heights of Craonne, and to have gained a small town near Rheims, and to have attacked the heights along the Mouse, at Vigneuilles, which is near Troyon, the French claim that these movements of the enemy were without special result, and that the advantage still lies with the allies, especially in their flanking movement near Mnvnn T.nssitrnv. anH on the left limit of the River Oise where thev -ire tlirpnteninir the forces of the German ripht. unrlcr von Kluk.

LON'DON". Pept 23. In view of the war raging In Kuropo nnd the necessity of sending big dinfts of men to the front, Liberals aie begin ning to discuss the possibilities of con scription. If conscription comes, nnd the probabilities arc that It will, there will be no time for protest, as It would require merely an order in Council and not an act of Parliament. Conscrlptlonlst news papers, and they form the bulk of the press at present, are hard at work and h.ne won the first point. They will now press their advantage, for they Know that such an opportunity may never come again. Once conscription is upon Hngland it will hold good. Mr it will not pass at the end of the war, even In the event of fiennany being defeated. P.ussla will afford ample excuse for riveting the thrall ring of militarism more firmly upon the throat of the Ungllsh people. A fortnight ago one had the hope that this war would see the end of Prussianlsm In Germany: now a diminishing hope Is coupled with a lively fear that It may see the birth of It here. It Is true, no responsible politician has suggested con scription, but two months ago no re sponsible politician suggested war. Lib erals are nsking Is no answei to be made to all this agitation or are they to sit Idly by. helplessly trusting in the stnbillo of politicians under stress, with out so much us uttemptinn- to stiengthen their hands? Mr. Wells' suggestion that It ought to be made possibl! for ev-r male in the countr between 15 and CO to enroll himself for public service is un that looked liktJ being carried out, with no chobe for shirkers, a century ago. when Kngland was at war with Franco and America, and ft large number of the English troops wero tied up In Ireland At the beginning of 1H statistics wer pn-pared giving the number f males whom it would be posslblo to turn int'i soldiers. Thfl result showed that thcrt were jU3t 2,741,817 between V and Co c-apuble of bearing arms. At that time the population of the I'nlted Kingdom was under lS.0fO,0v), 4 month or two later the allied armies entered Paris, and what might have been a scheme of universal service was forgotten In the rejoicings of a temporary pace. t.NLISTSlU.VT UOING O.V. There was one portion of Mr. Asquith's speech at the Guildhall banquet which attracted much notice and will put an end to the frantic appeals of those fussy Pople who, In their mistaken sense of ho much which the Premier stated that Lord Kitchener's second army had already obtained be. tween 250,00) and 300,Cu0 mon. It is to bo noted, therefore, that while over, zealouk vounjf females have been rush ing about with white feather, employ ers have bean seeking to force enlist ment on their men by threats of dis missal, and excitably people have been ' denouncing cricket and football, th- re ore already more recruits accepted than have been asked for. As a matter of fact, more men have en lied than accommodations can be pro vided for, for it U n notorious fact that there are no barracks available, nnd that , In order to shelter them a vast number of building will have to be utilized, t'nl forms will also have to be provided, horses for the cavalry, ritles for the infnntr and instructors for all.
