Lapowski Ju.tiRes Poles.

Or. Boleslaw Lapowski. a Polish lew
ish physician Of this city. who describes
himself as "a native Of Poland OF Jewish

that any outrages have been committed
and blames the Jews themselves for tho
Polish boycott against them. Being un-
able to suhstantiate his assertions that
there were no pogroms and atrocities
In the Polish provinces in Russia, he
seeks to Justify the Poles for whatever

PRAISES GEORG BRANDES
~ HERMAN BERNsrEi>.

When Georg Rrandes. the great author
and critic, who loved Poland and sang
its praises for many years. came out
with his denuncistion OF the outragcs
committed by the Poles against the
Jews In the present war he was at
tackled and ridiculed by the Poles
Because he dared to tell the truth
about the cruel methods employed by the
Poles In the Russian Polish provinces
the name Of the great friend Of the
Polish people was dragged into the mire
by the bisoted Polish anti-Semltes
They tried to give the impression that
Rrandes did not present the facts truth
fully, that he was bribed Ivy the Jews
and misinformed by them.
Then Georg Brandes in his own In
Irritable way answered these attacks
lie proved his statements beyond the
shadow Of a doubt to those who are not
hind and who want to see the light. The
Polish leaders IN their fcebleness and
hypocrisy, instead of changing their
militant. cruel anti-Jewish policy. are
slandering and attacking all who dare
10 describe the true state of affairs in
Poland with regard to the Jewish ques-
ton.
New We have the most humiliating
spectacle OF a Polish Jew who not only
triss to deny the atrocities recounted by
thousands OF eyewitnesses and by cor
respondents who have made special IN
vestigations Of tho reported crimes by
the Poles against the Jews, hut who
actually defends the Polish boycott
against the Jews No Pole would have
dared at this time 10 Justify his own
people for the criminal persecution they
tho past few years.

PATIENT SAW
BULLET TAKEN
FROM HEART
Removal Of Ball Watched
Intently by Wounded
Man.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Nov. 1.-THE removal Of a
bullet from one of the chambers OF
the heart, under the influence Of only
a local anaesthetic and with the pa
tient watching the operation, is de-
scribed by an army surgeon in the
British Medical Journal. The point
Of chief interest elected by the sur
geon was the insensitiveness Of the
heart to direct Stimulation. The organ
was handled freely, opened with a
knife, probed with heavy forceps and
closed with q row of stitches, without
affecting its contractions or causing
the patient the slightest pain or dis
comfort.
THE operations was performed un.
der local anaesthetic," writes the
surgeon, "eucaine. with adrenalin be.
ing used. The heart was exposed
No wound could be seen, but on ex
animation by the surgeons finger the
bullet was felt at the back of the
heart either in the muscle or in tn,
chamber of the right ventricle. L
was noticed that manipulation Of thu
heart caused the patient no pain o.
discomfort Of any kind, through tn,
organ occasionally missed beat, ant
this, in spite of the fact that thu
anaesthetic had been injected onl.
into the skin and muscles of the ches
wall. The patient Of course was con
scious throughout.
The bullet was grasped and wa
then felt to be inside the chamber
so an incision half an inch long wa
made in the heart wall and the bulle
removed by forceps."

''The Two, Orphans"

For quarter of century the well
known and much beloved play of the
legitimate stage, "The Two Orphans
appeared before the international
theatre patrons, but it remained for
the William Fox Film Corporation to
put this wonderful story before the
public in motion pictures and they
have accomplished it In such man
ner that it reflects much credit upon
the producer, Herbert Brennan, and
the William Fox Film Corporation
The famed Theda Bara will be found
most naturally, in the role of the
wicked sister, while filmdom's most
beautiful blonde, Miss Jean Southern
will be found in the character of the
blind sister. The cast is reputed to
be the strongest cast ever assembled
for the production of one feature
This picture, which is seven massive
parts, give this wonderful cast vehi-
Gle in which they can do both them
selves and the characters which they
portray much credit, something which
they have not failed to do.

whims and foibles, the passions and

Kipling analysed when he wrote ''The

which was utilized as foundation by
Porter Emerson Browne, for his great
drama, "A Fool There Was" which,
has had another startling effect on
the public, as the play so wildly por-

Mrs. G. w. Belser has some rare

of Persian goods on exhibition. She
also has several pieces of Mexican
money exhibited. One Mexican dol

very much resembles the United

language is used. These treasures
were sent to Mrs. Belser by her son,
who until recently was connected with

day of the week at the fair in the

One thing has been quite notice
able during the present weeks fair
There has been the best of conduct
on the part of everybody. No articles
have been reported as pilfered and nc
arrests have been necessary, though
the crowds have been the largest
ever entertained here.
