JERUSALEM Feb. 1O.-A company
is about to be formed to run q sardihe
canning factory on the shore OF the
Sea of Galilee. A local newspaper
saws there are great shoals OF sar-
dimes in that section and remuner-
alive industry can be formed II 2
concession can be obtained. The ma
tives who are extremely poor would
benefit greatly by such an industry,
as the output is likely to be patroniz-

GERMAN PUBLIC NOT
PLEASED With CHIEF
Removal of Won Moltke and
Substitution of Won Falken-
hayn Causes Criticism.

The Hague, (via London), Special
German newspapers which have just
been received here. show that the Ger
mar press. although prohibited strictly
from criticising any acts of the govern
ment during the war is much iSpleased
by the sudden change in the leadership
of the German military forces. They
state that u Won Moltke, has been
politely sidetracked" as chief of the
general staff and that supreme COM
mand has been given to "a war minis
ter whose behavior towards the Reich
stag in the Zabern incident, was in
sulting."
In the short biography of General
Won F~alkenhayn, which the newspa-
pers are permitted to print, they refer
in the most guarded way to What they
term his failure up to the present time
IN the operations on the western front.
Won Falkenhayn, was appointed
temporary chief of the general staff on
October 20" says the Berliner Tage-
blatt. He therefore has held the posi-
ton since the fall of Antwerp.
During this period have occurred the
battles of User and Dixmude. In this
serious time. therefore, Won Falkenhayn
has been uniting all h functions
which during the war of 1870 were
divided between Won Moltke and
ROOM"
1t is intimated in these
that there has beer friction between
Emperor William and Count Won
Moltke. owing to a difference of opinion
concerning the conduct of the campaign
in the west, it being understood that
while Won Moltke, favored energetic
operations against the French center,
the emperor was strongly inclined to-
ward pushing the advance in the di-
rection of Calais. AS a result of his
conflict of opinion. it is said, Count
Won Moltke retired to take the cure
at Homburg, being however, in actual
need of medical attention.
Genera Won F~alkenhayn then con-
tinued the operations in Flanders UNI
der the direction of the emperor with
results which are described as not
wholly pleasing to the German public.
The plan Of campaign Of Count Won
Moltke. as originally outlined, was t o
advance on Paris as rapidly as posi-
BILE, n this led to the swift movement
TOWARD the French capital by General
Won Kluck and General Won Hansen
in August and September. which was
ended by the forced retreat to the posi-
lions now occupied by the Germans in
France. 1t is stated that friction be-
tween Emperor William and Count
Won Moltke first occurred at this time,
the emperor taking the ground that
the move tactically was futile.

CRITICISM OF
TWILIGHT SLEEP Plan
Jewish Physician Cites Records
of Maternity Hospital Using
Method.

New York.-Criticisms OF the Twf-
light Sleep by DIR. Charles Ginsberg.
formerly an instructor in the Uni.
| versity of Vienna. We're refuted by
Irwin Arrow. superintendent of the
Jewish Maternity hospital, the Ameri-
can institution in which the xvi
light Sleep was first itroduced.
The Twilight Sleep. says DR.. Gins
berg. has proved a failure in Europe
and is now frowned upon by every
large clinic there with the exception
of the one in F%reiburg.
He maintains that the Twilight
Sleep prolongs- childbirth, sometimes
to the extent OF two or three days:
that women completely collapse after
it: that a~sphyXiation n often death
of the child occurs.
LAS to the proloneation of BIRTH"
said Superintendent Arrow yester-
day. the Twilight Sleep does so. But
known-nor heard-of this period
lasting anything like two or three
days. One case. 19 hours in duration,
was a striking exception to the ordin-
airy.
1T is impossible for a oma to
collapse after the Twilight Sleep. We
have known of no such case in our
100 applications of Twilight. The
fundamental principle upon which the
theory is built is that of non-collapse.
The patient is in a half sleep; her brain
is completely at rest.
I'm the 125 cases of Twilight Sleep
which We're attended in this hospital
up to the middle of September we
did not have a single case of asphyx-
iation, nor did we have a single baby
lost. However. of this number there
were born dead, a circumstance
which would nave occurred whether or
not the mother had been in the Twi.

was to prevent a massing of the Ser
We army against a small Austro-Hun-
garian force west of Belgrade along
the Save river.
To navigate the Danube along the
Servian border was then and is at
present. no small matter, according to
Lieutenant Wolff. In spite of the fact
mat the monitors and other craft of the
Austro-Hungarian Danube flotilla are
painted a peculiar sort OF olive, which
melts completely into the vegetation
along the bank the ships were visible
against the back ground Of drab DAN
ube water and offered AN easy target.
To the fire which the Servian artillery
concentrated invariably upon the hated
monitors, the Austrians can reply with
but small effect.
The Serbs make the positions of their
guns in a very thorough manner and
before the crew of the monitors has
located a single position. veritable halls
or shells come. But vulnerable spots on
eVen a monitor are not many and field
artillery is not designed to cope with
armor plate. For these reasons the
Austro-Hungarian monitors ave been
able to do mucn good work. Not one
OF them has been sur by Servian ar
tillery. The Temes. sister ship of the
Bodrog. went down, On October %, by
hitting a mine in a field which she had
traVersed four times under less favor
able circumstances.
The blocking Of the mouth of the
Save by the Serbs at the outbreak of
the war obliged four of the Austro-
Hungarian monitors to remain in that
river. Between the city of Belgrade
and the barrier, however, lay a terri
tory through which the Serbs could
easily effect an invasion of the m
pire, and it seemed desirable to have
these craft available in some opera
tions. occupying the greater part of Oc-
tober.
How to get monitors past Belgrade
was a problem.

THE Country Boys Creed"

! believe that the country which God
made is more beautiful than the city
wnich man made; that life of doors

with nature is more inspiring than
work with the most intricate machin-
cry. l believe that the dignity Of labor
depends not on what you do. but how
you DO It: that opportunity comes to a
boy on the farm as often as to a boy
In the city: that life is larger and freer

Animal. In The War.
From Tit-Bits.

The news that the pet goat of the
Second battalion of the Welsh regiment
has been killed in the battle of Aisne
reveals the fact that the soldiers are
taking their regimental mascots to the
front. This is a common practice in
war, as each regiment regards it's pet
as a luck bringer. n thus it is only
natural that the animal should accom-
pany the soldiers to battle. Regimental
pets on many occasions have dis
tinguished themselves on the battle
field. In n instance a regimental dog
proved to be one of the few survivors
of a terrible British disaster when the
famous Sixty-sixth were cut up in the
battle of Maiwand. Valiant Bob. the
pet of the regiment, sat and howled
dismally in the center of the rapidly
dwindling square where the Britishers
stood back to back, fighting against
hordes Of Afghans. When every man
had fallen Bob crawled ove the bodies
Of the dead. and, although wounded in
the leg, Travelled over 80 miles of coun-
try by himself and eventually found the
main army.
In the battle Of Inkerman. Sand. the
terrier mascot of the royal engineers,
thoroughly enjoyed himself by running
after h Russians n swapping at
their legs. He was eventually run
through by the bayonet of an exaspera-
ted Russian. but Sandy recovered, and
had a special medal struck for him by
the colonel of the regiment at the con.
clusion Of the campaign.
Bruce. an enormous mastiff who dis
played similar fighting tactics in The
battle of Kandahar. met with a less
fortunate fate and was killed and buried
on the historic battlefield.
A poodle who hobbled about on three
legs has for some years been a familiar
spectacle at Chelsea barracks. The
guards captured the animal in the bat
tie of Victoria and adopted him as the
regimental ~et. He went through the
campaign with the regiment, but had
two legs broken by a shot, though re-
fusing on one occasion to remain in
the rear when the charge was sounded
but dashed to the front Of the gallop-
ing horses.
At the battle of Tel-el-Kebir a pri-
vate of an Irish regiment went into the
fight with q little black kitten con-
cealed In his tunic as a mascot. He
came through the battle unscratched,
so that apparently the kitten proved its
worth az a luck bringer.
