Increase in Fourth Degree Knights.
A grand eXemplification of the
fourth degree of the knights of Col
umbus, was held at the home of the
order in Washington, on Thursday,
November 26, when about 200 candi.

ton.
This class, one of the largest that
has ever been initiated in this juris-
diction, will increase the membership
of the fourth degree in Maryland and
the District to 1900. This degree has
grown rapidly in the last few years,
and now numbers, throughout the
United States and the colonial posses.

THE PISTOL AT ENGLAND'S
HEART.
BY Martin Marshall in Harper's
Weekly.

Weekly.
That Napoleon recognized the STRAIT
egic Importance of Antwerp in any
campaign directed against England, is
shown by his much quoted Statement
that Antwerp was pistol pointed at
England. The Importance of this city
to the Germans is minimized by the
neutrality Of Holland and the fact that
the river Scheldt, on which Antwerp
is situated, finds its way to the sea
through Dutch territory. So long as
Germany respects the neutrality of
Holland, she will be unable to use Ant
werp as a naval base against Eng
land, and Hollands neutrality has been
jealousy guarded. Undoubtedly Ger
many is receiving conditional contra
band of war through Hollands ports,
which would be impossible were the
Dutch to become combatants on either
side.
The determination of the Kaiser to
invade England has, however, been
indicated in his desperate attempts to
capture the French ports on the North
Sea and the English Channel. Imme-
diately after the fall of Antwerp, Ger
man forces entered Ostend and were
massed for an advance along the
French coast, their detectives being
the ports of Dunkirk, Calais and Bou-
logne. From the middle until the end
of October this conflict ragged with the
greatest fury. Germany hurled hum
dreds of thousands of men against. the
Allied armies, and with varying sue
cess, but at the end of October the ad-
vantage seemed to be with the Allies
and it became very doubtful if the
Germans would be able to seize the
coveted cities from which they I'M
doubtedly planned to launch a thun-
derbolt against Great Britain. Brit
aims geographical security, the Sax
on "Staats-Anzeiger" recently pub
lished a statement by General Baron
Won Ardenne of the German army,
in which he outlined a possible cam
paign against Great Britain, contingent
upon the German occupancy of Calais.
Briefly, it was planned to capture this
port, defend it with artillery having a
range of fourteen miles and, under the
cover of these tremendous guns to lay

the width of the Channel unnavigable
for British vessels. Between Calais
and Dover the Channel is only about
twenty-five miles wide and the Ger
mans are optimistic enough to believe
that they would be able to mine the
entire distance, thus destroying Great
Britain's control of the sea by prevent
ing her navy from passing through the
Channel. Once this was accomplished,
the torpedo and submarine divisions
OF the German navy would be brought
into play.
1t might be impossible to land troops
cover of these tremendous guns, to Law
their way into the harbors and destroy
shipping, while the Zeppelins rain ex-
plosives on London and other cities,
1t might be possible even to DESTROY
forts and railroad terminals, and so
infiict military damage of great ex-
tent on the British. The activities of
the German aviation corps are natural
ly kept as secret as possible, but the
persistence of rumors to the effect
that large fleet of Zeppelins is being
assembled in Western Germany and in
Belgium justifies the uneasiness, If not
positive terror, that prevails through
out England.

Art

The crOzier presented by the Ladies'
Auxiliary to the A. o. II. to Bishon
Thomas j. Shahan is six feet in
height and is designed to present a
general effect of great simplicity. The
details of the ornamentation, how.

agitation of the Cross of Cong, is in
serted with the bishops motto, "Spes
Mes Chrustus," and contains a relic
of the Irish martyr, Venerable Oliver
Plunket, archbishop of Armagh and
Primate of all Ireland. A pleasing de.
sign of shamrocks surrounds the base
of crook and bands of ornament and
other details are similar in design to
the crozier of St. Brendon.
Above the ornate node stands a
statuette of Our Lady of Limerick, a
replica in miniature of the miraculous
and historic statue in Saint Saviour's
Dominican church in the city of Lin
erick, Ireland.

DECLARES RADIUM ONE OF
GREATEST SURGICAL AIDS,

New York, Feb. 5.-Charaeterizing
radium as "one of the greatest aids
which surgery could possibly have,
Dr. w. H. Cameron of the Pittsburgh
Radium Clinic last night discussed the
properties of the mineral as a thera-
peutic agent on cancer and orthritis
at meeting of the Radium Society.
DIR. Cameron said astounding re-
suits had been obtained in cases of
orthritis.
Nothing influences orthritis as
much as radium," he said. and in
many cases l have secured results
which | once considered and you would
consider absolutely impossible. One
of my cases, a joint incapacitated by
venereal disease, was cured in two
weeks.
For any cancer where 1t is posi-
BILE to use radium l should never use
the knife until after the radium. The
best way, of course, is to kill the can
Ger by radium, then cut 1t out to pre-
vent absorption, and then use radium
to kill the rest of it, If there is any
left"

Indebtedness by William A. Prender-
CAST, comptroller, suggests that the
city issue corporate notes to be re-
deemed in succeeding tax levies for a.
period of 10 years, instead of issuing
long term bonds as in the past The
plan was submitted to Mayor Mitchell

This plan would compel the present

years and at the same time tighten it's

A bill which would authorize the city
to carry out this plan has already
been drawn with view to having the
necessary legislation adopted this
year.

PinkIets Really Do
Correct Constipation

There are few persons who do not
suffer more or less from constipation
and because of the discomfort 1t
causes and the ill-health that results
from this condition everyone should
know how to properly correct it.
Harsh purgatives, formerly much
used. act violently and leave the con-
stipation worse than before. Pink
let's correct this unnatural and dan
gerous condition by gently assisting
the sluggish bowels and torpid liver to
regain their normal activity. Their
action is gentle. but effective and
thorough, and they do not cause
single grippe. Unlike strong purga-
tives. Pinklets do not upset the stom-
aeh nor irritate and over-stimulate
the bowels. Because they have none
of these evil effects, they can be taken
with entire safety until the sepstipa-
ton is corrected.
To simply regulate the bowels or to
treat obstinate cases of constipation,
Pinklets are the ideal laxative. They
are safe for every member of the fam
lily to use. Any druggist can supply
you at 25 cents per bottle. Write to
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.

toms and treatment Of constipation

Baltimore, Md. Feb. 5.-Robert Gum
Bremner. member of Congress from

tor of the Passaic Daily Herald, died
today of cancer at a local sanitarium
where he had been undergoing radium
treatment since last December. He had
been suffering from the disease for
four years. Mr. Bremner was SO years
old.
Mr. Bramner came to the sanitari-
UNI to try the radium after physicians
in this country and Europe had vain
ly tried to cure him. t was found that
the disease had made such inroads
that little could be done and that the
fight against death would be made
with all the odds against him. Mr..
Bremner was optimistic, however, and
tubes containing 100000 worth of RAJ
dunn were applied to the growth. For
a time the patient seemed to improve
and members of his family were hope
full that he would recover. few
days ago, however, the sick man was
seized with a sinking spell.
Mr.. Bremner was elected to Con-
gress while he lay in bed ill. He did
not make a speech. On the night be-
fore the election, President Wilson,
then Governor of New Jersey. visited
Passaic, and made a speech for Brem-
ner.

searching a Chinese rooming house in
Chinatown last night for opium
smokers, the police discovered three
young girls hidden between the cell

the house or to give any information
against Young Yick, a Chinese, who
resisted the police while the raid was
under way and who was arrested with
them.
The police believe they have found
a Chinese white slave depot.
The girls will be held pending an in
vestigation by juvenile court officials,
who declare they are under age.
