During tho Spanish War Mr. Holden ferved ns a watch officer on the gunl-oat Scorpion nnd participated In many engagements In the West Indian campaign. It was chiefly due to Ensign Hnldcn's superior penmanship that tho Scorpion was pre vented from foundering ln a galo off the Frying Pan Shonls, December, lSHS.

RESTORATION OF BELGIAN INDUSTRY BY THE GERMANS Brussels, Sept. 22,-Tho German adminis tration In Belgium has bo far succeeded In reconstructing tho financial system of tho country thnt a number of tho larger businesses, such as tho big fac tories, coal mines and banks, which practically camo to a standstill a year ago, have been able to resume opera tions. Tho withdrawal ot tho director of the National Bank of London ln August, 19U, who took -with them Its gold stock and the plates for printing notes, left tha country without a solid basis for it currency system. Notes wero In circula tion, but thcro was no gold with which to redeem them; nnd thero wo danger that tho circulation might bo further ex panded through now Issues of tho Bel gian government In London, which could easily bo smuggled into the country. Soon aftor tho occupation of Belgian territory tho German government deputized Dr. Von Lumm, ono of tho most efficient directors of tho Rclchsbank, to proceed to Belgium and tako In chargo tho re habilitation of tho currency system. As tho officials of tho National bank had re fused to roturn to Brussels or restore Its aasots, It became necessary to find a now tvay of securing tho noto circula tion. At tho same tlmo tho German authori ties wero levying war cpntrlbutlons upon various Belgian cities to raise money for meeting tho expenses of governing tha occupied territory contributions which could not easily bo raised In tho form of cash. The cities wero therefore nsked to Issue their certificates of Indebtedness payable at some future tlmo, and It waa decided to use these ns ono form of secur ity for new notes, besidos bank balancos abroad, German gold and other currency. As the National bank had refused to con-" tlnuo tho further discharge of Its func tions the note-Issuing powerwas conferred upon tho Socleto General de Bellquo, th oldest and largest bnnklng company o tho country.
