Paris, Dec. 1.-THE death OF King
Leopold Of Belgium removes one Of
the staunchest friends of France. He
saved Belfort for France after the
war OF 1871. and, during numerous
crises in the history of the third re-
public, never failed to place his sound
advice at the disposal Of the govern
ment,
Despite the pleasure.loving follies
which marred his career the French
statesmen consider the role played by
distinctiyely that of political peace
maker.
He was frequently the counsel of
other monarchS and, though he broke
with every member OF his own family
at times. his intervention is believed
TO have prevented scandal and trouble
in many princely houses, notably
those Of Germany and Austria
Personally he was extremely fond
OF France and passed great portion
OF his time here. A few years ago he
was familiar fixture on the boule-
wards, at the opera and in the res
taurants, where he earned the title
of "the sportiest king in Europe -
Since his alliance with Baroness
Vaughan, however, the places of
amusement had seen little OF him.
A dispatch from Rome SAYS that
the Vatican confirms the marriage Of
King Leopold and Baroness Vaughan
at San Reno, Italy, last year.

regard Mr.. Rockefeller's princcly gift
for the eradication of the hookworm

dollars for the battle against the

South Cardinals commissioner OF
agriculture. in an address before the
the First National conference on Pei
lagra which opened here today.
George e. Seller, superintendent of
the state hospital for the insane,
Peoria. ILL.,, believes the country is
threatened with a national scourcc.
The discovery of pellagra in the
Peoria hospital was made August !
last. since which time 1870 cases have
been diagnosed rs pellagra, 45 of the
patients having died.
Pellagra. as II national public health
problem. WAS the subject of an ad-
dress delivered by Assistant Surgeon
General Kerr of the United States
public health and marine hospital
service.
The problem of pellagra in Europe
and in the world is in some respects
analogous to beri-beri in the Orient
said DIR. Kerr. Both diseases are
held to be associated with the con-
sumption of important articles of
diet: both are capable of becoming
veritablc scourees among the people
where they become epidemic"
