When these colors were presented a brief history accompanied them which Is of Interest, since It concerns a New York regiment. LOUVAIN IN THE FUTURE What it Will Be Like if Germany Gets a Chance to Rebuild it Letter In the New York Sun. In the Sun of July 18 we have in the letter of Herr Ludwig von Heuhne, entitled "Germany's Louvain," the German viewpoint so clearly set forth that there is no. reason for any American failing to understand the cause of the war, or as he reads the penetrating, projectile-like phrases of the Herr Architect falling to have illumined the egotistic viewpoint from which his nation is waging war. The late, lamented Doctor Dernburg failed to maks us understand.

Professor Munsterberg in his Just -published "The Peace and America" is reiterative but unconvincing In his attempt to make us see the Teutonic These gentlemen argue and explain and fall. The Herr Architect does not explain nor does he argue. He states. This stock of matter elucidates the German attitude. It explains the war.

Clearly perceptible is the arrogant condescension Germany fells toward the rest of mankind. The Herr says "The Germans will rebuild Louvain better than It was before" and "Munich Is still recognized as the art centre of the world," while "German architects are recognised as as the centre of the Beer Belt, particularly of the dunkles variety, but personally I had always supposed that the solar plexus of German art was that broad way through the Thler-garten in Berlin, the Sleges-Allee, adorned "at the expense of the Emperor" with those numberless statues. Would that I but had the Kultur to understand these things. To follow Herr von Heuhne, "German art will show the-world." Wide-eyed, trusting, believing, I sit at tne feet of German art as I sat if I had luck with the speculators, in those dear old days of Weberfleld, when I imbibed German art at the knees of Frankio Bailey, so to speak, before the movies had billieburked the legit. As though but yesterday I can hear Lew say, "Mike, I am the greatest pinochle player In "th -world' and little joe would shrill "Prove it! Prove it!" "HtJh! I don't have to prove it, I admit" It," replied that famous German artist Fields.

"Piebulld Louvain!" The accomplished fact is still debatable. It will remain so until the last British bayonet is beaten down with the butt of a Prussian musket and the Tricolor driven beyond the Pyrenees. And If It Is rebuilt as the Herr Arcnl-tect predicts, will American tourists go there to see German art and exclaim "Beautiful! Wonderful!" Undoubtedly. The American will by Direktlon be conducted-to an imposing structure, erected on the spot where once stood a library that for centuries had been of Incalculable benefit and service. "See," says Hans, the sturdy German guide.

"All built since the war and by our own hands." "Beautiful," the American assents, "quite beautiful, but what Is that damp spot on the cornerstone?" "That explanatloned easily is," answers Hans; It was so necessary to here shoot a trifling number of Belgians to teach them that their homes were not wf.T0 thelr necessities, but to ours, with the men unfortunately were a lot of women and some babies, for the women refused to leave their men. yes.

"What does the building contain now?" asks the tourist "Ach Gott! The most wonderful of alL, every of the treaty we tore up, and each, scrap separately indexed and numbered and filed. You know, German system is the greatest In the world.

All our professors agree that nowhere else has there been such careful cataloging or such perfect arrangement of a few-scraps of paper. Won't you go Inside, sir? By direction of the Kaiser you can see it all for 10 pfg." "No," answers. the American; "but tell me, bltte, what are all those mounds dotting the fields to the west?" "Those? Oh! Those are the graves of many Belgian soldiers who fought Us to the very last. They would not yield, although we offered to pay roundly, in paper, so we killed them and threw them In where they fell.

Is It not wonderful that we so soon all accomplished have?" And the simple, uncultured American, with his back toward Potsdam and looking over the' graves of men who made no choice hut death In the faith that their country would live, slowly lifts his hat, for It is warm In Low Countries during the tourist season, and with these things before his eyes, says "Wonderful."
