EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS

London, Dec. Americans in
London are inclined to resent the in
terviews given by their fellow coun-
trymen arriving home from Euro
pean trips in which it is intimated
that America is the Laughing stock Of
Europe on accoun. OF the attitude
taken toward Mexico. AS a matter
of fact the powers of the world ad-
mired the patience that Uncle Sam
has shown toward tne wiley Huerta
and there are many officials who
state frankly that no country in Eu-
rope would have stood for Mexico's
behavior, although the course adopt
ed by President Wilson is proving
the best that could have been possi-
bly, selected. There is not an Amer
ican citizen in Europe at the pres
ent time who does not believe that
the United States will emerge from
the Mexican crisis without her
standing being in the slightest i'm
paired with the other nations.
Among the latest recruits to the
ranks of aviation are the younger
sons of the aristocracy. Members
of noble houses who have recently
taken out their pilots licenses are
Lord George Wellesley, youngest son
of the Duke of Wellington, who was
born in 1889, and Lord Edward Ar
thur Grosvenor, younger son, born
1892, OF the first Duke fWestmin-
ster by his second marriage. Both
are in the army, and both took out
their CERTIFICATES within q month of
their first flights. lord George We'll
lesley,- who is lieutenant in the
Grenadier Guards, is more than six
feet tall, but his height is no draw
back to flying, for ne is slightly |
built. He learned to fly on a Bristol |
Military Standard acrcplanc ut Sails /
bury. He is a great grandson of the
first duke. Lord Edward GrOsvenor ,
took only three weeks to get his GER
tificate after learning on a Bristol
biplane. Though a lieutenant in the
Royal Horse Guards, he is attached
to the airship section of the flying
corps at Marlborough.

II Feet Of Oil.

Jim Barnes is having a lot of
fun out south of Blue Mound.
He put down 4 drill hole, and at
14O feet struck oil. The oil con-
tinued to a depth of 167 feet,
when he quit the hole, as it was
too much trouble to fight the oil.
The oil Is heavy, and rather
thick, but it is oil, all right, and
we believe there is enough of it
to oil all the roads in the country.
And it would be mighty fine for
roads, too. Put that stuff on a
nicely graded and rolled road,
and It would mean an end to
mud and dust. And the asphalt
um in the oil would make a good
coating for the road after the oil
had all soaked away. tits worth

Has 5000 Uniforms.

The German Emperor has more uni
forms than any other sovereign, so great
are the number of military, naval and
other titles he owns in his own and other
countries. His uniforms, which have
been computed at nearly 1900 in all, are
in charge OF his head valet, who has II
other Wallets working under him. The
valet requires to be an expert on military
uniforms, for if is no light task to remem-
Der the accessories in the way ofswords,
epaulets, helmets, ETC., to 60 with nearly
5000 uniforms, for each detail must be
exact, and mistake in regard to this
would cost him his place.
1t is perhaps on the occasion OF his
royal masters visit to foreign countries
that the resources of the head valet are
taxed TO their utmost. The Kaiser insists
on always dressing the part correctly.
On his visit to Great Britain much aston
ishment has been expressed at his skill
as quick change artist.
On one occasion when his yacht, the
Hohenzollern, was off the British coast,
the officials stationed at Port Victoria to
receive him sighted him through marine
glasses standing on the bridge in the uni
form OF a German general. Great was
their astonishment when on landing bare
ly 10 minutes later he greeted them dress
ed as an English admiral. He was eS-
corted to the special train, wherein he
disappeared for a few moments, walking
into the saloon in the uniform OF the First
Royal Dragons. Finally, upon arriving
in London, he stepped off the train in the
conventional frock coat and top hat OF an
English gentleman.
The keeping OF such an extensive
wardrobe is somewhat Of a task. 1t is
said that for the four palaces in and around
Berlin so boxes OF naphthaline moth balls
and 30 OF camphor and cedar shavings
are required to resist the depredationS OF
the moth. When it is remembered that
the Kaiser has nearly so other places be-
sides in various parts of his kingdom, in
all of which full sets of uniforms are
kept, it can be imagined that the money
spent on moth deStroyers must run into
a tidy little sum every year.

ACLERGYMAN'S STORY
Came Near Losing His Life-How He Escaped

We quote from another letter. dated
December 10, 1906: II praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case. and they praise it also"
In q letter dated November %.
1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe-
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintances
know that. am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In later letter, dated January 13,
1910, he says: II shall ever in the
future, as in the past. be ready to
speak in praise Of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured in this county"
From a letter of September s, 1911,
we quote few words: IL am still
among the living. AS to Peruna,
do not feel that have words to ex-
press the faith I have in its merits.
feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God, of prolonging my life for
more than ten years"
We quote still later letter, October
81, 1912. He says: II took severe
cold three weeks ago. at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking 1t two
weeks. I am now better. I consider
that Peruna has carried me over q
dozen years Of life. I always stand
ready to answer any question In ref
erence to Peruna."
We quote from his last letter. dated
January 2, 1918: Dear Friends: /
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year, and
that your medicine may prove a
blessing to many as 1t has to me, I
am yours as ever, G. w. Roberts,
Hartsell. Alabama, r. F. D. 2, Box
27."
It Is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The elo-
quence and pathos Of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or afidavits. Who can doubt the
clergyman's story? Who can doubt
that Peruna saved his life?
Every home should be provided
with the last edition Of the "Ills Of
Life" sent free by the Peruna Co.

Publishers Announcements

The World Publishing Co. takes pleas
ure in announcing that arrangements have
been made by which Mr.. A. B. Smith,
former editor of The Martinsburg Herald,
will again take charge of and conduct il
as a Republican newspaper.
AS is well known, The Herald has been
neglected TO considerable extent, large
ly due TO the fact that ii has not been
possible heretofore TO employ anyone as
editor who could give enough time and
attention TO The paper 10 make Of il such
a publication as the publishers desired.
Believing that the Republicans oiBerke-
ley and adjoining counties are entitled to
an up-to-date newspaper advocating the
principles of their party, the publishers
have secured the services Of Mr.. Smith,
who will have full editorial control OF The
Herald, and considering his ability and
experience and his acquaintance with
the people OF this section, II is expected
The Herald will again attain the position
il once held as one Of the ablest and most
reliable Republican newspapers in the
State.
Very respectfully,

The recent death OF Field-Marshal Lord
WoIseley has brought out many anecdotes
OF the famous British officer. On one
occasion, as the soldiers were dining and
the orderlies were hastening back and
forth with pals Of steaming soup, Wolse-
ley stopped one OF them, and ordered him
to remove the lid of his pail. The man
promptly obeyed.
LET me taste il" said the general.
But" began the orderly.
"Let me taste it, say |" and he tasted
it. "Disgraceful I" he exclaimed. "lt's
for all the world like dish-water."
The orderly saluted. THAT'S what il
is, sir u he said.
