any case known to his intimates TO be
a thoroughgoing Britisher in his sen
timents. Prior to the war, he spoke
publicly on many occasions Of the
necessity of Britain putting up sharp
er competition against German trade.
He sat fCr II years in parliament,
but the only speech he is said TO have
made there was on the subject OF
fisheries. He was chiefly noted in
the commons as the first member to
appear in straw tall hat, and his
love OF color caused his clothes 10 con-
trast rather sharply with the sober
black of his associates. His beard at
that time was trimmed into fine
points, like a Spanish grandee's, but
latterly has become square-shaped.
He is a large. spare shouldered man,
with thick hair on the back and sides
OF his head but quite bald on top
His features are English rather than
Jewish.

London -CCorrespondence Of The
Associated Press.l-No ambulance
corps at the front is attracting more
attention than the American Volun-
teer Motor Ambulance corps under the
leadership of Richard Norton. Re
Gently the British Red Cross, with
which the corps is affiliated, ordered
II to return for service with the Brit
ish forces from the second French
army with which it had been Operat-
ing since ii reached French soil. But
in the meantime the whole ambulance
organization of the Second French ar
my has been based on the American
corps and the French medical de-
partment objected strongly to giving
il up. The result has been a com
promise whereby the corps will be
enlarged TO work with both armies.
The corps consists entirely of vol
unteer workers, who not only give
their own services but provide auto
mobiles as well. Both have distinctly
made good, the French authorities
having paid the warmest tributes to
the efficiency of the workers and their
cars. The squadron of motor cars
represent many types with American
cars proving the favorites as their
clearance gives them a distinct ad-
vantage in traversing the rough bat
tlefields and wrecked roads. Among
these cars the small American types
have rendered extremely useful ser
vice by avoiding what might be term
ed the light cavalry of the ambulance
service. While not being able to car
~ a heavy load these small cars
bring the wounded from fields where
the big ambulances cannot venture.
One ambulance of the corps carries
a steam heating plant and tubs for
supplying the wounded with hot
baths. The corps has placed this
work in charge of A. z. Kemp OF
Paris and it has proven so successful
that he is appealing for funds 70 in
crease the number of cars equipped
with the apparatus. Inspector Cen
eral Dziewcnski of the sanitary de-
partment of the second army has writ
ten TO Mr.. Kemp thanking him for the
tubs which have been successfully
tested, one tub giving from % to 80
baths daily.

HOW She ENDED
ten YEARS OF
SK|N-TORTURE

Oct. 20, l9l4:-"I had eczema on my

then spread all over my face. They
itched and burned me awfully. It was
certainly embarrassing to me, and
would not 60 amongst people. I tried
almost every remedy and treatment
that could be used for this trouble, but
nothing did me any good. I used Res
mol Ointment and Resinol Soap, and
was relieved in day or two. In one
month I was cured. This was six
months ago and the trouble has never
returned. - Signed) Mrs. G. c. Rob-

The Resinol treatment speedily heals
eczema, rashes, ringworm, and other
eruptions, and clears away disiguring
pimples and blackheads, even when
other treatments prove worse than use

Ointment and Resinol Soap for eigh-
