To Captain Sermon must be
given credit for the spirit which
the team developed. He gave
them good plays to be sure; but
wherein he got the results was
the morale which he instiIled in
to the team. They seemed to
have the necessary GOODNESS,
fighting spirit and never-give-up
confidence. The line was never
outplayed during the entire sea-
son, and the backfield had the
pep to show up anything they
ran up against. May we have
many such teams.-W. M. A.

ONCE RICH, WOMEN ARE BEGGING BREAD TO LIVE
From the New York Sun.

Theodore Waters, secretary of
the Christian Herald, who went
to Belgium to superintend the
distribution of the cargo of the
steamship Jan Block, returned
yesterday by the Pennsylvania.
At the Offices of the Commission
for Relief in Belgium, II Broad
way, he gave out a statement in
which he said that Belgium was
in reality one long line of starv-
ing men, women and children
clamoring for a daily single ra-
ton of soup and bread.
During the time he was in Bel
GUM Mr.. Waters was unable to
find any proof of German afro
cities. On the other hand, he
said, the needs were beyond the
power of man to describe. He
painted a contrast of brilliantly
lighted hotels and restaurants
overlooking with gorgeously uni
form German soldier jewellers
outside Of these hotels virtually
beleagured by women who were
waiting in the cold and snow for
the food that would keep them
selves and their children alive
another day.
He mentioned in particular the
Weber Hotel at Brussels, patron
lied by German officers, and
around the corner a theatre be-
sieged by starving, freezing
women. He did not tell of Ger
mans taking food from the Bel
gians, but he said most emphati-
cally that the Germans were not
feeding the Belgians.
at is a tale of human woe, a
tragic misery, the like the world
has never SEEM" Mr.. Waters
went on. 81 cannot say that the
greatest need in all the world is
now in Belgium, but I do say that
it cannot be surpassed by any of
the horrors in the swamps of
East Prussia and Galicia.
! "In Antwerp | saw over a
thousand poorly clad women, one
in bed room slippers, standing,
shivering in the snow, waiting
for food to be dOled out, and this
under the shadow of a big hotel
where well fed, well clad soldiers
drank and made merry.

The January American Maya
zine.

LAAlCs
Two very remarkable contribu-
lions about the war appear in
the January American Magazine.
One, by Ray Stannard Baker, is
entitled "The Last Phase of the
Great War" 1t is a fiction story
of the German Invasion of Amer
lea in 1915-1916 and is a sort of
imaginary history of the war
supposed to be written one hun
dred years hence. The United
States wins without any fighting
at all and the story of its victory
is ingenious and full of sense,
humor and surprise. The other
contribution of the war is en-
titled Hats Off to France!" 1t
is by Will Irwin, special cores
pondent of The American Maya
zine and it reports the courage
and GOODNESS with which the
French are taking part in this
article the impression that
France is determined and sports
manlike to the last degree.
In the same issue Ida M. Tar
bell continues her new series of
articles entitled "The Golden
Rule in Business" In her pres
ent article she writes under the
title, "The Gospel of Safety" and
gives a complete account of the
tremendous development of the
safety movement in American
industries. Cleveland Moffett
writes a wonderful account Of
the new invention by which NOV
ing pictures are now taken under
the sea. This invention opens
the way of the recovery Of hun
of lost treasures. It's benefit to
oceanographers and science is of
course obvious. Stewart Edward
White, writing under the title,
"a Lion Adventure" gives an
account of his personal eXper-
fences with wild animals in Afri-
ca. A husband, who has been
married twenty-five years, gives
a highly entertaining and sug.
gestive account of his exper.
fence with the problems of mat.
rimony.
Fiction is contributed by DaviC

new novel entitled "Hempfeld,'

great admirer of Alexander Hamilton,
and when the great Federalist was
killed by Aaron Burr in a duel he be-
came the implacable enemy of the lat

New York the judge saw Burr on the
opposite side of Nassau street He
went across the street as fast as his
years would permit and, brandishing
his cane in Burr's face, shouted:
You're a scoundrel, sir, a scoundrel,

Burr proved equal to the emergency.
He raised his hat and bowed to the

professional tone, THE opinions of the
