Relief Work Shown by Commission’s Report New York, Sept. 1.—Some idea of the volume of foocd purchases and shipments made by the commission for relief in Belgium, 71 Broadway, during the suinmer months may be mained from figures presented by the last report of the commission, dated August 17. This report shows that, including the grain and foodstuffs sent from United States ports alone, bkave reached a total , or 1,026,408,840 pousds. it shipments 458,216 torn These figure “BATTERING RAM” OF GERMAN ARMY SENT AGAINST RIGA s OO the | of | should be remem- | bered, do not include the cargoes sent | from Caunadian and other ports, which would brng the gate up to, if it did not exceed, 2,~ 000,000,000 psunds, and the approxi- mate total cost is nearly $80,000,000. Seventy-seven shiploads I'rom United States ports thus far seventy-seven shiploads of food and clothing have been sent to Belgium Ly the comniission. During the win- ter and spring the requirements of Belgium te feed its population of 7,000,000 ¢n a per capita ration of ten ounces a day—which is about one-third of a soldier's ration—neces- sitated the sending of a shipload of food every forty-eight hours. With the approach cf the summer months the necessitice of the Belgians were les- sened as the German military author- ities conceded to them their grain crops, and ihis supply greatly aided the commi<sion in its work of provid- ing the kingdom with food,inasmuch as it had no other sources of food supply from beyond its border. Chartering New Ships. EBut an carly resumption of activi- ties is foreshadowed in the chartering of a large nuamber of new ships. In addition to the newly chartered ships which will sail under the flag of the commissions and which aev already been reported—the Zuiderdijk, EIlf- land and the Overdale—the commis- sion has chartered six more, all ves- sels of the larger type of freighters, with average cargo capacities of from eight to nine thousand tons each. The new ships are the Andreas, a PULLAR ‘& NIVEN HELD FOR LOOTING SAFE. Pvo Syracuse Men Arrested in Quincy, Mass., for Burglary. Quincy, Mass., Sept. 1.—Two young men who gave their names as James Xarmon and Robert Williams, of Syracuse, N. Y., were arrested early today as they were driving an auto- mobile through Quincy Square from ;{;e direction of Hingham, where less Han an hour before the safe in the ‘garage of M. K. Huntley had been torced. Hingham police said the num- ber plate of the car was the same as that on the automobile in which the men who had broken into the garage made their escape. The car, it was also stated, was stolen in Boston last night. Harmon and Wiliams denied any *Qonnection with the burglary. They gaid they found the automobile in Hingham last night. / MORRIS HOMESTEAD SOLD. New Haven, Sept. 1.—The house on the Morris Homestead, a landmark on the road hetween Morris Cove and _ Lighthouse Point, which originally vas built in 1671, passed out of the Morris family by sale yesterday. Dur- Ing the Revolutionary War the house was burned. It was rebuilt around the old square stone chimney and gables. -KEEP YOUR FACE YOUNG Greek shkip, the Mohacsfield, a Brit- ish; the Crios, Greek; the Ootdijk, a Dutch; the Olto Sverdrup, Norwegian and the Mounthy, Pritish. Of thesc newly chartered ships, but two have been previously in the comi- mission’s service, the Elfland and the Overdale, and for the first time since its organization the commission has chartered ships flying the Greek, Nor- wegian and Dutch flags. The Zui- derdijk, of the Holland-American line was the first large vessel of the same line: The Otto Sverdrup is the first Norwegian ship to be chartered. Left Greece Aug. 5. The Andreas, nearly 9,000 ton car- go capacity, left Piraeus, Greece, Au- gust 5, and at a fair rate of speed of twelve knots an hour should be able tc make the voyage of 4,700 miles by August 23, to Delaware Breakwater. From there she will be sent to New York and will take on a general car- 0. & The Crios left Penarth August 6 and is due ab Delaware Breakwater August 21, but the loading port has not yet been decided on. The Oost- dijk will sail from Rotterdam for Key ‘West August 28 and will receive load- ing orders there. She will go to some Gulf port, where she is due about September 14. The Otto Sverdrup will sail from Chrisitania, Norway, for Montreal, and is due about the middle of September. Nearly a Record Breaker.

It is taken to mean that, despite the de- velopment of the new offensive in the south toward Odessa and the Black sea ports, there is to be no relaxation of the effort to secure the line of the Dvina in the north. General von Beseler, known as the ‘battering ram,” has won fame because hereto- fore he invariably has been placed in command of besieging forces because of his skill in handling the German heavy artillery, the 42 centimeters and 30.5 centimeters. Military men are wondering whether he has taken his heavy artillery with him into the the Courland swamps, and if so, what : this portends. NINE PERSONS HURT; TROLLEYS PIN AUTO Branford and Momauguin Cars Crash Into Plainfield, N. J., Man’s Machine at BEast Haven, New Haven, Sept. 1.—Nine passen- gers on two Branford and Momau- guin trolley cars were injured last night at 6 o’clock, when a seven-pas- senger E£tevens-Duryea touring car, driven by a man named Wheeler and containing his wife, of Park avenue, Plainfield, N. J., attempted to shgot ahead of a Branford car in charge of Motorman J. Hogan and was caught between a city-bound car and an ap- proaching Momauguin trolley on Main street near Ciarish avenue, East Haven. The heavy auto was caught between the two trolleys, and though it was smashed to a mass of tangled iron, both the occupants escaped with minor injuries. The quick stops made by the trolley cars threw many passengers from their seats and seven were treat- ed for cuts and sprains by Dr. Chas. W. Holbrook and later were taken to their homaes in autos. Mrs. Wheeled was able to free her- self from the wreckage and was as- sisted int? a nearby house in a hys- conditicn, while the trolley crew and passengers worked over the wreckage to extricate her husband. The heavy tonneau of the car had fallen over his body in such a man- ver as to make it impossible for him to move, although its protection is believed to have been all that pre- vented him from being instantly killed. When he was finally taken out those present, among them sever- al physicians, were surprised to find him cnly slightly hurt. He sustained a gash on his forehead and a cut be- neath ‘nis lip, but further injuries were not apparent. The most serious- ly injurcd of the trolley passengers were Mre, Frederick Brown asd her son, five years old, who sustained badly sprained backs when they were thrown against a seat.

When they are over- worked or ill nourished they ache and people who are looking for trouble begin to worry about their kidneys.

(Correspondence of the Associated Press.) London, Sept. 1.—A year of war has worked a revolution in the army surgeon’s method of dealing with the ordinary wounds of the battlefield, which, on account of the changed character of the projectiles, are more secure than in previous wars. In al- most every instance of wounds from modern artillery, the broken tissues are found by the surgeon to have be- come inflected by scrapes of cloth or other material, on a scale without precedent. At the start, most of the surgeons relied on a stringent appli- cation of recognized methods of an- tisepsis to combat this infection. The tissues were deluged with powerful germicides, even strong carbolic acid being employed. g The success of this method, how- ever, was far from complete, and gradually a new system, based on well known principles, but entirely novel in application, was substituted. One of the elementary principles of physics is that if a vessel contains two solutions of varying strength divided from each other by an ani- mal membrane, liquid will pass from the weaker to the stronger solution until ultimately both are at the same strength. This was brought into ac- tion in the treatment of wounds in der to stimulate the action of the um of the blood, which has strong antiseptic properties. The wound is filled with liquor solution of salt and sodium citrate at a considerably preater concentration than that in the serum of the blood. TUnder the in- tiuence of the liquid the serumn fis poured out from the body into the wound, tending both to cleanse it and to destroy the bacteria that are pres- ent. This system hasthe great advan- tage that it leaves the tissues unim- Jaired by the fluids used for the des- truction of germs. “The full recog- nition of the efficiency of this method, introduced largely® through the ef- forts of Sir Almroth Wright,” savs a medical writer, “must be regarded as one of the most important advances made in surgery as a result of the ) war.” greatest admiration for and personal ' NORWAY'S AUTO TIRE | SUPPLY EXHAUSTED Many Taxicabs in Christiana Forced To Go Out of Business—Farmers Also Hara Hit. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Christiania, Sept. 1.—Norwegian owners of automobiles are, hard hit by the announcement of dealers that 1he supply of tires has been exhausted end it is impossible to replenish the i slock to any extent because the bel- | | ligerent countries are taking up all the world’s supply. said there is not a new tire to be bought at any price anywhere in Nor- way. The situation is much more than annoying, for it will have a serious economical effect on Norwegian farm- ing. It is doubtful that if any country | has adopted the automobHe more ex- tensively in a public way, for in Nor- way the sparsley settled hills have never been able to support railways 2nd the automobile has come to be the principal means of communication and transportation hoth for the farm- er and commercial men. The in- numerable es which have been put to service in recent years are all of foreign manufacture, for there is no automobile factory in Norway, and the same is true as to oil, gasoline and tires. The importation of tires has steadily decreased since the European war began, and the present impos- | sibility of obtaining new tires has forced many of the taxicabs in Christ- iania to go out of business. The cars cn the public automobile routes in the country are wearing their tires down ic the last thread, and it appears their service may soon have to be cancelled. The Royal Automcbile Club, of which King Haakon is honorary presi- dent, is now negotiating with foreign governments in the hope of getting permission to import tires, with guar- anty on the part of Norway that the tires will not be exported to any of the belligerent nations, ADVOCATE DECIMAL SYSTEM OF COINAGE Soldiers Returning to Great Britain From France Recognize Its Advantages. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) London, Aug, 27.—Proposals to es- | tablish a decimal system of coinage in Great Britain are again receiving at- tention in the newspapers. The latest advocates are soldiers returning from France who have become accustomed to the decimal system in use there, and have quickly recognized its ad- vantages. The proposal most generally en- dorsed in England is that the farthing be made the basis of the new system. There is already a coin of this de- nomination in use in England, its | i value being one-fourth of a penny, or | about half of an American cent. It is proposed to make on hundred far- | things equal to one florin (the com- mon two-shilling piece of English coinage, cquivalent to 50 cents Amer- ican) This involves only a trifling change from the present system, whereby 96 farthings made on florin. Under the proposed system the units of money would be: 100 farthings made one forin; 10 florins make one pound, i The shilling would thus become an i Intermediate coin, representing 50 farthings, and the six-pence a similar intermediate coin, representing farthings. | i i i 25 J.
