: AIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1915. 14 [‘,]-NAL MERCIER Head of Britons in France THANKS AMERIGANS ». Also Pleads With.Us to Gontinue Relief for Belgian Sufferers London, Dec. 24.—Cardinal Mer- cier, primate of Belgium has ad- dressed a letter to Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the American committee for relief in Belgium. He says in part, “I understand you have so kindly addressed a new appeal to the gener- osity of your countrymen to provide clothing for our so painfully desti- tute people- I confess I had much preferred to shake hands with my American brothers in token of thank- fulness for what' they already have done that we should again stretch to them the open hand to besg. “Your country has already done so much for us; it has given us much in food and, above all, in personal co- operation for our economic rehabili- tation; it brings us this help with such a moving and complete spon- tainety that we have long desired to convey to your people a full expres- sion of gratitude, untarnished by re- newed appeals to their generous im- pulses. But you, yourself, dear friend, invoke us to appease our scruples, and therefore I, knowing better than any one destitution of our Belgian people. should feel myself traitor to my duty as their pastor if, through an exaggerated feeling of national pride, I should refrain from also pleading for those who are suf- | fering.” Walk With Bowed Heads. The cardinal then told of seeing a group of “strong, honest workmen’ accustomed to support wives and children through their own labor, walking with bowed heads through the streets in Malines because, hav- ing been out of work fifteen months, they were forced to subsist on char- ity. He continued: ‘“You Americans, who prize highly the value of labor and who possess natural impulse to ehrning comfort and success by your own exertions, will understand the mental suffering of noble souls forced to depend on charity. Therefore you also know how to hide your liberali- ties under anonymous veils and have to distribute them through hands as delicate as they are discreet. Inter- preter of the feelings of the Belgian population, we thank you as much and more for your way of giving than for the gifts themselves. May I add that_one of the greatest beénefits, for which ‘we shall feel eternally indebted to the American people, will be the fixing on America of the admiring at- tention of the Belgians. Real Reward. “When the hour of reconstruction cpmes we will invoke them to keep their eves, your great land of fecum- dating initiatives; your land of am- bition for more comfort, not through covetousness of other peoples’ wealth but through tenacious will to individ- ual endeavor, with a patrietism than ignores civil discord and draws its strength from a collective love for national progress; we are confident that our benefactors will find in this spreading of their own moral in- fluence their real reward.” CAUGHT IN SHAFTING. Thompsonville, Dec. 24.—Nelson St. Louis, employed in a carpet factory here was fatally injured yesterday when he was whirled around moving shafting. His clothing caught on the ghafting and he was slammed several imes against the ceiling. Both 1legs were broken and he was otherwise in- jured. He was married three months hgo. ! General Sir Douglar Haig, successor of Field Marshal Sir John French, in command of the British forces in France, has played a prominent part in most of the chief operations of the British army in the present war—in the retreat from Mons, on the Aisne, at Ypres and at Neuve Chapelle. On each occasion he received most gen- erous praise in the official report of Sir John French. At Mons General Haig commanded the First corps, which constituted the ring wing of the British army. In his report on | the rear guard action after Mons, the | commander in chief gave special | credit to Sir Douglas Haig for saving | his corps when it was in a dangerous Prominent Since War Began predicament on the night of Sept. 25. General Haig began his military career with the Seventh hussars in 1885 and served in Sudan. As Major Haig he was chief of staff to Colonel French in a brilliant series of minor operations around Colesberg, in South Africa. He has had experience at the war office, where he was direc- tor of military training, and in India, where he was chief of the general staff to General Kitchener's successor. Before the war Sir Douglas Haig had never commanded in action a larger body than a regiment. Sir Douglas Haig was born fiifty-four vears ago. He is the youngest son of John Haig, Jjustice of the peace of Cameronbridge, in Scotland. NAMES KEPT SECRET. Officers Relieved of Command in Gal- lipoli Peninsula Not Made Known London. Dec. 24.—In the house of commons yesterday afternoon Harold J. Tennant, parliamentary un- der secretary for war, declined pub- licly to give the names of the officers relieved from commands in connec- tion with the landing of British troops at Suvla Bay, on the Gallipoli Penin- sula. It was suggested that the names were public property. Mr. Tennant replied that if this were so an an- nouncement would be more punitive than informative. He denied a re- port that one of these officers had been cashiered. WHISKEY LAW IN EFFECT. Charleston, W. a., Dec. 24.—Con- forming to a recent court ruling, a general order prohibiting the accept- ance of whiskey as personal baggage of passengers in West Virginia, was put into effect yesterday by four of the railrooads operating in this state. A WHOLE YEAR ROUND HAVE YOU A TELEPHONE IN YOUR HOME? GIFT THAT LASTS THE COMMUNITY CENTER PLAN. Feature of Annual Meeting of Ameri- can Civic Association. Washington, Dec. 24.—Discussion of the community center plan will be a feature of the annual meeting of the American Civic association be- ginning here next Tuesday. The pro- gram for the four day convention, an- nounced today, also provides for gen- eral consideration of city and coun- try planning, industrial housing and many kindred subjects. Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the president, will preside at a session ‘Wednesday evening devoted entirely to detailed study of the community center idea. Jump from Bed in Morning and Drink Hot Water Tells why everyone should drink hot water each mogning before breakfast, and woman, half the nervous, despondent, days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really in- capacitated by illness. If we all would practice bathing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thou- sands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-cheeked people every- where. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, ! else it ferments and forms ptomaine- | like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous days’ accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before break- fast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus | cleansing, sweetening and purifying | the entire alimentary canal before putting more food ino the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleep- less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, Why is man time, feeling worried; some inside- but is sufficient to demonstrate to any- one, its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.

Zeitung and other newspapers. In consequence a bitter controversy has broken out between papers of the Tages Zeitung stamp on the one hand, and those like the Tageblatt, which adopt a liberal attitude in re- gard to the Jewish question on the other. The more liberal papers resent in- tensely every anti-Jewish movement, particularly as it is asserted that Ger- man Jews have borne their share of the war’s burdens liberally and are doing their utmost for the fatherland in both a military an an economic sense. Savage Attack. The present revival of the semitic movement began with a sav- age attack in the Tages against Eugen Dietrich, of Jena, who had acused “A Berlin morning news- paper—inferentialy the Tages Zel- tung—of being anti-Jewish. The lat- ter denied it was the newspaper at- tacked and further roused Jewish feeling by putting the blame cn still another Berlin journal. The Tageblatt entered the contro- versy, calling the Tages Zeitung ut- terances ‘‘base defamation of Ger- man Jews. many of whom died for the fatherland after voluntarily join- ing the army—in which they were notable different from certain anti- semitic nationalist tvpewriter he- roes, who have not lived up to the war propoganda they have preached for years.” Feeling Waning. Theodor Wolff, of the Tageblatt, who is perhaps the most prominent editor of Germany, declares that, not- withstanding the recent revival of anti-semitism, the feeling against Jews in Germany is gradually wan- ing, existing nowhere to a great ex- tent except possibly among the minor nobility.
