Notice-Keep Out

In town in Alabama a boy,
unable to swim, was struggling in
the water. On the bank, rushing
around and telling each other
what to do, were thirty 500 big
husky men, several of whom
could swim. While they were
piddling and pottering the boy
sank. Not even then did one of
the linen" plunge in the water
and try to rescue the little fellow.
He drowned before their very
eyes. Later, when questioned by
other astonished citizens the brave
fellows explained that they had on
their Sunday clothes, did not wish
to get them Soiled and that there
was not time for any of them to
undress and pull the drowning
lad out of the pond. A wave of
righteous indignation has swept
over the town and these Sunday
suit fellows boycotted and cut
dead, socially, are preparing to
leave the place. This article is

practically all of Germany's colonies in
Africa and Germany may be glad TO
give back Belgium for some of these
colonies.
But the point about Minister Whit
! lock is that he was the United States
representative at Brussels, the capital
of Belgium, when the German army
/ invaded and captured the country. You
can see that under these peculiar cir
cumstances he had to be very careful
how he acted. But he has been so sue
cessful in looking after American inter-
ests in Belgium, and in helping in the
work of giving relief-food and cloth
homes were destroyed in the war, that
he has won the praise and respect of the
Belgian people, the Belgian King, and
the officers and soldiers of the German
army. In fact, every nation in Europe,
including all the fighting countries,
look upon Mr.. Whitlock as one of their
best friends.
why only a few days ago l read in
one of the newspapers a statement from
q man who has been in Belgium almost
since the beginning of the war; to the
effect that Mr.. Whitlock had Hndou5t-
struCtion. When the German army en-
tered Belgium several of the cities re-
sisted and before the attacks We're over
those cities had been all but completely
destroyed. AS the German army drew
near to Brussels the Belgian officials
wanted to, fight. This man that [ speak
of, says that Minister Whitlock. know
ing the strength of the invading German
army and wishing to save the lives
and the fine buildings that would nu-
doubtedly be. destroyed, persuaded the
Belgian officials not to attempt to re-
sst the Germans. So the Belgian army
marched in, and the lives of all the peo-
pie in Brussels and their homes and
buildings were saved. The King of the
Belgians knew that his people and
country would have lost more than they
could have gained from trying to de-
fend Brussels and so he thanked Mr..
Whitlock for his advice.
"This was only one of the many. many
things that Mr.. Whitlock has done to
help people and save lives since the be-
ginning of the war. He has worked
hard every day and night. He is the
fresh air and sunshine that | spoke of
when l began talking to you, and all
the other war news of the millions of
men who have been killed and wounded
and the cities and homes that have been
destroyed are. the rooms filled with

said: Il can't really speak of anything

of him. You know, boys, Mr.. Whit

HE is Brand Whitlock, United States

"He has come back to this country for
short vacation and rest, for he has
been working so hard since the begin

been very much weakened. He will call
on President Wilson, and then visit his

Belgium isn't really n Belgian coun-

the cities and the farms and those of

who are not in the army. and every
