Charged by the Netherlands minis- r of war to investigate the latest frman methods of treatment of sol- €Ts suifering from nervous collapse d kindrea ailments, Dr. Zeehande- ar of the Dutch 1y medical serv- € also took advantage of his stay Berlin to look into the question of © alleged chronic underfeeding in le German capital. “I went for the purpose,” writes F- Zcehandclaar, “to Wannsee lake, | family bathing resort, s able to inspect some Berliners of all ages, ‘the buff.” I only wish itients looked like them. fe r(l.n;: in Berlin is said to be ie worst in Germany, with the ex- btlon of the garrison towns.

DOGS GOOD WARRIORS. ine Results Reported by ¥rench Canine Friends . (Correspondence of the Asso, Press). Paris, Oct 8.—Citatlon of dogs in egimental orders is now common at he French front. Fox, of the Nine- B ccnth company of the Tenth regi- ment, is one of these illustrious drupeds. The afternoon war bul- «tin of July 16 contained the follow- owing: “An enemy rald doirected against of our small posts in the Pas- chendal region failed under our fire.” it is learned from an official source that the failure was due to Fox, who was thus referred to in next day’s cgimental orders: “Fox, Series F 4 0. 221, Kennel A, prevented a raid ttempted on one of our first line trenches by the Germans. Taking ad- vantage of the darkness, and when a a gale was blowing, the enemy suc- s@eded in reaching our our barbeed- wire without being seen or heard. The dog, Fox of the Nineteenth com- pany, on sentry at the end of the trench, tw gave the alarm and thus ,wed us to receive the enemy with grenade fire. The surprise attack | tailed.” Two other dogs, Diana and Cybele, have been distinguished in the same v, and all three have, besides, been duced by moving pictures to the iris public. Anecdotes of occasions on which ‘war dogs.” as they are known. ved critical situations during actual fighting by acting as despatch runners are innumerable, and staff s have calculated that in one section of the front alone six thous- ang soldiers were saved from death or danger by these always modest auxiliaries. RUMANTA’S QUEEN ENGLISH. This Fact Alone Has Made War on Allies Popular. (Correspondence of the Asso. Press). London, Oct, 10.—One of the many reasons for rejoicing here at the entrance of Rumania into the war on the side of the Allies is the fact that the Rumanian queen is an Eng- isiwoman of great popularity. Be- fore her marriage to the Hohenzollern prince who is now King Ferdinand, Quecen Marie was the beautiful and * popular daughter of the late King Edward's eldest brother, the late Duke of Edinburgh. She is still re- garded beautiful, and indeed with hér husband and two boys and four girls is frequently spoken of as con- stituting the best looking royal fam- ily in rope, as well as the most photographed. Queen Marie is beluved throughout her country for her generosity and constant efforts in behalf of the poor. She is the leading spirit of the Society of Goddesses of Rumania, each god- dess acting as a fairy godmother to at least one poor child. The queen has an odd hobby in the collection of scent-bottles of which she had more than 8,000, When 2board her father’s flagship at Malta, Rumania’s future queen be- came a great favorite with officers and sailors.
