PAIN IN HUNGER A FANCY.

Chicago.-Death by starvation would
be painless one If
The III" was explained by DR.. A. J.
Carlson, assistant professor of physioi-
ogy at the University of Chicago in a
lecture before the National Academy
Of Science. He asserted that the pangs
Of hunger are only imaginary to a
great extent and that II one can sue
ceed in fooling his stomach into ''be-
lieving" it Is full then to oil practical
purposes save that of nutrition it Is
full.
If any one could keep his mind Oc-
cupied about other things except his
stomach while he was starving" said
DR.. Carlson, death by starvation
would be about as painless n death as
any one could hope to have"
Here are some Of the ways he said
the stomach could be fooled:
BY chewing gum.
BY holding stick in the mouth.
BY forgetting all about hunger.
By taking drink Of beer or water.
BY becoming so frightened you don't
care anything about meals.
BY swallowing small balloon and
pulling 1t up again with a string.
The latter method is the one used by
DR.. Carlson in conducting series Of
experiments on himself. his assistant
and a patient who has been fed
through a tube inserted in his stomach
for twenty eight years. He used ma
chine called manometer. with a small
inflated balloon attached to a device
for measuring the effort Of the muscu-
lar action Of the stomach on the bal
loon. He exhibited chart and ex-
planned the wavy little lines to his au.
dience.

Washington, Dec. 30.-President
Wilson, referring to the American
note to Great Britain, insisting on bet
ter treatment for American commerce,
declared that large damages eventual
ly must be paid by England for unlaw.
full detention Of American cargoes.
The president pointed out that
many protests previously had been
sent in specific cases and that if the
contention of the American govern
ment is correct, as he is convinced it
Is, plans for indemnification ultimately
will have to be met by Great Britain.
Supplementary to previous protests
the new note, President Wilson ex.
planned, represents fully the position
of the United States, saying that, so
far as theory is concerned, there real
" is no debate on the point raised,
because England herself in previous
wars has taken exactly the American
position.
The president was asked If the CON-
munication sent to Great Britain was
the result of the recent gathering of
Pan-American diplomats here. He
said it was not, but that the position
of the United States applies to any
neutral and that the contentious ad.
vanced are peculiar to this country.

pressed the view that when Great
Britain realized the extent of public
opinion on the subject in the United
States her attitude will be modified

Vigorous criticism of the admins
tration policy in Mexico and an en-
dorsement of the protests to Great
Britain against the seizure Of Ameri.

Fighting in Flanders Interrupted
by Severe Storm.

London, Dec. ,3O.-BritiSh observers
of the progress of the war point to
the admission in the Austrian official
announcement that Russia is once
more master of the Carpathian passes
and that troops along the Austrian
front from the Biala river to point
northeast of the Dukla pass seem to
be falling back, as marking another
surprising reversal of form on the
part of the Austrian soldiers, whose
battle fortunes since the outbreak Of
the war have been conspicuously er"
ratio.
The Petrograd war Office states that
the Germans who have been pressing
forward in Poland have been repulsed
with heavy losses, and adds that the
Austrian defeat in Galioia breaks up
the maneuver aiming at q combined
Austro-G German attack on the southern
forces of the Russians. which X sue

These trenches command an impor-

British trenches gives the Germans
stronger foothold in this region.
