sTETT|N WOMEN
FEED DOCS DA|NTIEs
WHILE POOR STARvE

STETTIN, July 19.-The discovery
that Stettin women have been feeding
whipped cream to their pet dogs while
mothers have had a hard time procul
ing sufficient quantity of unskimmeC
milk for their babies, has aroused i
storm of protest.
Stettin recently attempted, unsuc-
cessfully, to have its allowance from
the government for the support Of
soldiers families increased. In oppo-
sition it was declared that Stettin wo-
men were too liberal purchasers OF
cakes and whipped cream, things tina!
are not considered essential to the
maintenance of life and health.
Some idea of magistrates opin-
ion of the Stettin women and their
dogs may be CLEANED from the follow
ing notice by him, recently published
in the local papers:
Since the present shortage OF
milk leaves much to be desired in the
supply for wounded, sick and babies,
every effort should be made to avoid
diminishing the existing supply. While
on this account, persons actuated by
feelings of intelligence and duty, have
imposed upon themselves restrictions
in their consumption of cream and
whipped cream, because of an extra
ordinary amount of unskimmed milk
is necessary for them, it has unfor-
tunately been noticed in the public
stores that Individual female custom
ers are ordering special portions OF
whipped cream to set before their
dogs.
"Such a contemplate proceeding
which makes of self-sacrifice and re-
nunciation mockery, is. It is to be
hoped, the exception and not the rule,
and therefore does not warrant Of
fetal action. In the meantime those
who have not suspected the existing
state of affairs must be shocked and
COMPOUNDED that Stettin must thus be
exposed to shame"

BRITISH MUSEUM
COLLECTING BOOKS
OF EUROPEAN WAR
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, July 19.-The British mu-
scum plans to have the finest collec-
ton in the world of the war literature
produced during the present conflict.
Not only English books, but publica-
lions in French, Russian, Italian, Ger
man and other European languages,
are being obtained from every avaial-
able source.
I'VE shall not expect or desire to OBJ
tain every war book published" ex-
planned the head of the library, "for
many of them are, of course, valuelessy
and we exercise the same discrimina-
ton in purchasing a book about the
war as we do in buying other works.
We want all the cream of the worlds
literature, but we want none of the
trash. Of foreign war-books generally
we are taking about two or three out
of a dozen. We have already secured
fairly good collection of what has
been published in Germany and Aus
tria since the beginning of operations.
I'VE have not added any experts in
military literature to our staff. We
have our own experts who devote their
energies each to the literature of a
particular nation. 1t is for them to
deal with the war books of the ma
ton.
Germany seems to be very prone
to religious works on the var. We
have quite a number of German theo-
logical war books, although we have
received no German books for about
ten weeks. We shall have to complete
our collections of German works after
the war, although in the meantime we

The British museums library is ad-
mittedly the greatest and most cosmo-
politan in the world. 1t has the best
French library outside of France, and
the best Russian library outside of
Russia. Its collection of Italian liter
allure is unexcelled except for that in
the Vatican. So far as French litera-
ture is concerned, it has books which
do not exist even in France, owing to
the revolution and the wars of 1848
and 1870. Refugees of the French rev.
dictionary period brought many valua-
BILE works to the great English library.
Have the Belgian refugees of the
present era brought many gifts to the
museum" the director was asked.
"A few" he replied, But unfortu-
nately their departure was generally
so hurried that they had little oppor-
tunity to bring such things with them"
The staff of the museum has been
repleted about thirty per cent. by en-
listments. Several of the official stat
are officers in the new armies, while
the library and museum attendants are
serving as on-commissioned officers
or in the ranks. The work of those
who remain is partly lightened by
the fact that the number of visitors ant
readers has fallen off nearly 60 pei
cent. during the past year.

NATIONAL MONUMENT
PLANNED FOR SERBIA
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, July 19.-In the South
Kensington Museum there is large
model of scheme for national mem
orial for Serbia, designed by Ivan
Mestovic, the greatest sculptor pro-
uced by the Southern Slavs.
The design is that of temple to
symbolic the repirth of Servia. 1t is
proposed to build /. on the battlefield
of Kosovo Perhaps it will be many
years before the money can be spared
to replace the temporary work with
stone, but an attempt will be made to
carry out the plan, at any rate.
Mestovic was born in 1883 in Croa-
tia of a peasant family and herded
sheep until Is years old, when he was
apprenticed to a marble worker at
Spalato. There his genius attracted
attention, and he was sent at public
expense to Vienna and Paris to study.
In both places, his work attracted
wide comment and won him and his
country fame.

BRITISH BUILDING
GIANT AEROPLANES'
K|TCHNER's ARMY
(By Associated Press.1

LONDON, July 19.-Although it has
been announced in the House of Com
mons that the British government has
giant aeroplanes under construction,
this type of aircraft does not COM
mand the entire confidence of ex-
perts.
The idea of the giant flying machine
came from Russia where the Russian
constructor, Sirorsky, had even before
the war built four-engine car, with
two engines, each driving a propeller
to each side. This car developed 500
horse power and it is said that one
car few for six hours with sixteen
passengers. Sirorsky is also credited
with having taken two dozen at once
on short flight A modified type of
ESQ horsepower is now used for war
purposes by the Russians.
One serious drawback to the giant
aeroplane pointed out by c. G. Grey,
well known writer and expert on aer-
onautical subjects, is the difficulty in
finding field large enough for start
ing and landing. A machine of SUCH
a size needs a long start But even
more important is the objection of
putting too many eggs in one basket.
A giant plane carries an enormous
amount of explosive, which is ordin-
arialy distributed among flock of
small machines. On the Ostend raid,
nearly forty machines took part with
the loss of only three. More than
score were sent by the French against
Karlsruhe of which but two were
brought down.
Where the giant plane promises to
be most useful is in defensive opera
tions. With several machine guns
and larger gun of the pon-pon class,
it can patrol its own lines for hours
at stretch ,repelling the enemy
scout planes. It's separate engines add
to its value, as its rudded is powerful
enough to direct its course even
when only one engine is working
