BELGIAN RELIEF IS

LONDON, Dec. 5.-As homeless, starv-

arrive in England. bringing TO Britain's
very door the evidence OF their suffer
ing. a report received by the American
Relief Commission from Theodore
Waters, of the Christian Herald. OF
New York. clearly shows tho tremend-

relieve the stricken country.

Women Beg For Food.
Scantily clad women stand shiverinE
in tho streets OF Antwerp begging, or
waiting for food which is given out by
the Germans. Many carry children in
their arms.
There is enough food I'm Brussels to

the situation is more serious and the
supply on hand will not last that long.

Waters, Il saw more than a Thousand
poorly clad women shivering in the

being doled out TO them. One, standing
in the slush of snow and ice. had no

on her feet.
Pftiful Contrast Seen.
These women were in the shadow Of

double search resulting from reports
that the Germans have established a

The Baquedano was sent out by the

She was due TO return on November 60
but when she failed to report any
where the Zenteno was sent out to

The result Of the Baquedano's search

Eight men from the Prinz Eitel Fried

dealt five passes. But if George had
tielded his position properly the Cards
would have had but one run. That
might have changed the entire COM
plexiOn of the game. Being two runs
to the bad forced the Cubs to change
the system of attack, and was respOn-
sible for Johnston being caught off
first in the eighth. Jimmy took too
big lead and was. trapped by Robin
son. The score made it impossible for
the Outfelder to wait for a sacrifice.
Pierce's first failure in the fielding
line occurred in the second inning
and a run was the result, Jack Miller
lined one down the first base line
which Safer batted down with, his
glove. Vic retrieved the pill in plenty
Of time to have nailed the runner at
first, but no one was on the bag to
accept throw. So Miller got credit
for hit, and scored as the result of
a couple of passes and sacrifice fly.
A triple play lifted Pierce out of a
hole of his own digging.
Miller's blow was a sound one, and
looked like hit when it started. For
that reason Pierce should not be Sc
verely condemned for. not covering
the bag. But Woodworking pitcher,
one who is alive to- every opportunity,
would have been chasing toward the
sack with the crack of the bat, as it
was impossible to tell from the box
where the pill was headed.
Again in the sixth inning Wilson
was credited with a hit because
Pierce failed to protect first prop
erly. The Chief bumped one to Safer
and raced Pierce for the bag. The
pitcher was too fleet, and crossed>the
cushion before SaieT's throw, which
was in plenty of time to have nailed
the former Pirate.
No damage resulted. In fact, neith-
er of these slips we're absolutely bad.
If Pierce had covered in the second
he would have been creditd with
great play, and one that few pitchers

stOn gave vent to brain convOlution
that resulted in a triple play, though
Jimmy had no idea of such whole
sale execution when he engineered
the play. The bases were loaded
when Snyder lOfted to deep center.
Johnston got the ball and saw that
play for the plate was impossible.
He figured that Magee, who was on
second, might loaf for third, expect
ing the ball to go to the plate. So
Johnston shot to Leach. Magee had
the ball apparently beat, so Tommy
stepped toward second to make play
on Cruise, who was on first when the
fly was knocked. He threw his man
out to Zimmerman. Magee thought
he would catch Heinie asleep, and
darted for the plate. The Dutchman
had his head up and lined the ball to
Bresnahan in time to get Magee.
Though Johnston had no idea of
the play working out in that way, he
showed fast thinking by making the
throw to third base.
Miller Higgins has a good man in
Beck, who replaced DOlan at third.
Good was on second in the first when
Sweeney flied to right Wilbur tried
to beat Wilson's throw after the
catch. He would have been safe with
a slide But Beck stood straight up as
Good raced in, bluffng Wilbur into
believing the ball was not near. At
the proper moment he reached out,
grabbed the throw, and touched Good
out
The Cards have three more games
to play on the West Side in this series.
The two teams seem evenly matched
at the present time, and should fur
nish interesting contests.
Not even O'Day knows who will be
used in the box, as the curving staff
is shot up. HUMPHREYS showed lack
of effectiveness in the one inning he
worked after relieving Pierce.

SMITH REMAINS
WITH W0ODMEN
Retiring General Attorney Plac-
ed at Head of Invest
ment Department.

When the Modern Woodmen head
camp at Toledo, Ohio, last June de-
cided to in future have the orders legal
business in charge of one instead of
two general attorneys, and elected
Truman Plantz of Warsaw, ILL.,, TO fill
the position, an impression got abroad
that Judge B. ID. Smith of Mankato,
Mimi, for many years one of the gen
eral counsel of the society, would cease
his official connection. But il trans
pires that the judge. much to the graf
ification of his local friends, is TO re-
main with the order and in an equally
important capacity. An investment
department has been created and
Judge Smith has been placed at the
head of it. With increasing invest
ments by the society the wisdom of
this departure is seen, and those know
ing his qualifications say no better
man could have been found for the
position than Judge Smith, he having
specialized many years in that branch
of the law II is the purpose of the
society hereafter to deal largely in
farm mortgages for the investment of
its surplus funds. Judge Smith will
also continue to look after the invest
ment department of the Royal Neigh
bors of America.

tary of State Bryan, the two being old

KEOKUK DAM TO
IMPROVE FISHING
Official Report, 1t Is Said, Will
Alay Fears of the
Reverse.

That the Keokuk dam and lake will
be a benefit rather than a menace to
the fish industry will be shown in the
report which will be made by Prof. A.
a. Doolittle of the Bureau of Fisheries
at Washington, d. c., according to DR..
r. E. Coke-, director of the Fairport
biological station who assisted the rep
resentative of the bureau in his in
vestigations at Keokuk.
Some time ago upper Mississippi
river nimrods voiced a protest as to
the Keokuk dam declaring that it
would eventually remove all of the
game fish from the upper part of the
stream. Prof. Doolittle has found, how
ever. that the opposite to this has been
the effect. Keokuk lake has been
found to be an ideal breeding place for
fish and il is the belief of the scien-
tific men that as a result of the crea-
ton of the great lake above the Keo-
kuk dam that game fish will be far
more abundant on the upper MISSISSIPPI
pi than in the past.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre TO the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was 10 make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get a large bot
cit for about so cents. Everybody
uses this old. famous recipe, because
no one can possibly tell that you dark
ened your hair, as Il does it so nat
uraIly and evenly. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush with il and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at a time: by morning
the gray hair disappears. and after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark. thick and
glossy. and you look years younger.

PARADE FRESHIES
IN NICHTC0WNS
Sophomores at Augustana Make
Trio of Underclassmen
Do Stunts.
DANCE UNDER ARC LIGHTS
older Students Resent Overlooking Of
Their Outing by the Under
cIassmen.

Class activities at Augustana college
began last evening when the sophie
mores took the initiative in the form
of a roast and spread at Campbell's
island Evidently the freshmen were
sleeping, since they failed TO offer any
resistance to the sophs. The evening
at the island went off altogether too
peacefully, and after returning TO Rock
Island. about midnight, the sophs pro-
ceeded to rudely awaken three of the
sleeping freshies, who had failed to do
their duty.
These were paraded down to the
Rock Island depot in their nighties,
where they sang solos, made master
full addresses. entered into various con-
tests, such as peanut rolling, leap frog
and the like. Even at that late hour
many people gathered to witness the
performance. After feeding the first
year men milk and crackers. the time
established food for infants. their old
er brothers permitted them to return
to their rooms, unattended. Many peo-
pie watched the odd trio as they
passed under the arc lights, and won
dered if Rock Island was really infest-
ed with spirits of the night.
Prof. Roy VI. Conrad and Miss Es-
Their Eckstrom chaperoned the party
at the island.
Are Vowing Vengeance.
This morning another rude shock
awaited the freshies. AS they enter
ed the college auditorium for morning
service, they beheld what was unmis-
takably a sophomore banner. decorat-
ed with remains of the feast. If the
freshies were still sleeping, this sight
caused their eyelids TO open and from
now on they vow vengeance.

MASKED MODEL
BIC ATTRACTION
Hundreds Get First Peep at

of Mystery.

One of the greatest sensations of
the season was presented to the people
of this city and the surrounding coun-
try last night when the beautifully
decorated automobile of Young & Nc
Combs store gave the public a first
peep at the famous masked model"
Before the parade. and in the pa
rade, the car that was talked about
and commented on by most everyone
was the one in which rode the myster-
ious masked model and her escort
Wherever you happened to be you
could hear people asking, who is the
masked model?" Where did this girl
come from?" Isn't that an original
idea, to have a masked model at a
style show?"
These and similar questions were
asked over and over. Young & Nc
Combs store obtained publicity of the
best sort among thousands. Today
the story of the masked model" is be-
ing told again and again throughout
the tri-cities.
AS announced in today's Argus the
mysterious model will appear tomor-
row afternoon in the windows of the
store and then show the latest STYLES.

During the whole afternoon she will
remain masked and at no time will her
