Warsaw, Nov. 3O.-Hundreds of thou
sands of the civil population in the
Warsaw district of Poland are suffer
ing for want of food. A considerable
percentage of this number still are
homeless, living in huts. caves and
abandoned trenches.
The situation is more serious because
of the immense number of persons
thrown out of work by the almost com
plete paralysis of Polish industries.
Some workers have emigrated to Ger
many, where employment is plentiful,
but the great majority prefer to re-
main near their homes in the hope of
better days.
Prominent Poles in all walks of life
maintain that drastic relief measures
are necessary.
Such flour as is now on hand Is be-
ing distributed by the Germans under
the bread card system, but only pota-
toes ar aNaDable IN quantities, whi-
there is an acute shortage of dried
vegetables, meat fats and condensed
milk. Prices all over Poland have ris-

The country districts of Poland are
battle-scarred and barren. In the War

Thousands already have died or

New York, Nov. 3O-The Central
powers are beginning to fear that Ru-
mania will join the Allies. The Turks
are concentrating in Bulgaria near the
Rumanian boundary, and the Austro.
Germans have moved across Hungary
TO threaten Rumania's flank.
Germany's announcement that the
Serbian campaign has closed Is prob
ably due TO the necessity for threaten
ing Rumania. Nevertheless. the sub
jugation of Southern and Western Ser
bia Is still incomplete. The main Ser
bian army is still intact and yet Ger
many has abandoned the campaign.
1t is therefore apparent thai the Teu-
tons believe that Rumania's entrance
into the combat on the Allies side is
the more pressing danger.
As a result of the Teuton maneuvers
the Bulgarians in Southern Serbia may
soon find themselves between two
fires, with no German help near. but
the Rumanian peril must be guarded.
Germany feels, at all hazards.

Southern Soldiers Criticized.
The French soldier from the south
of France is said usually to be less
courageous than his brother from the
north and east. This has been shown
many times, am told, in the battles of
August, September, October and No
vember.
At Morhange, in the early days of
the war, the French advanced against
a superior force of Germans, unsup-
ported by artillery. There was COM
plate German victory, and every
French officer was made prisoner or
killed. The remnant of the French
army fed in disorder for so kilometers.
1t is asserted that the rout was caused
by the failure of the southern soldiers
to stand up to the fight.
In the early part of September the
Germans swarmed out of Metz and
hurled three army corps against the
French force that had been ordered to
protect the Grown" of Nancy. The
French troops were composed of two
army corps, the Twentieth and an
other. The Twentieth corps is COM
posed of soldiers recruited from the
north and east, and other corps of
men from the south, from the Midi"

ROSES LURE GOAT FROM CANS
Row Results, Police Called in, and
Angora Is Ordered to Keep
Off the Lawn.

Atlanta.-Red roses and their ap-
peal to the appetite of an angora
goat have kicked up a neighborhood
row which the police have been called
in to arbitrate.
The roses bud on the lawn of John
Cunningham's home, No. 33 Colquitt
avenue. The goat, the property of a
neighbor, is supposed to browse in a
nearby pasture; but, according to Mr.
Cunningham, this is mere supposition.
He complains that for the past three
weeks the goat has wandered off the
farm and, lured by crimson buds, has
wrought havoc on the Cunningham
lawn. He declares the goat has de-
veloped an appetite for the flowers
which results III the mastication of six
or seven roses day.
Mr.. Cunningham could stand it no
longer. The police station was called
and an officer who investigated issued
orders that hereafter the goat must
confine his meals to his own grass
and tin cans.

The doctors are puzzled concerning
a strange maladysthat has broken out
at more than one aeroplane works and
has in one case resulted fatally. The
malady in some respects resembles
yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or
wrongly, attributed to contact with an
aeroplane dope" or to inhaling it's
odor.
Further particulars need not at the
moment be indicated, but it has been
suggested that the source of the
trouble may be amyl acetate, which is
used as a dope" solvent Some mys-
terry attaches to the affair, the precise
nature of the malady not having yet
been determined in spite of close ex-
animation and analysis; and, of course,
until success is attained in this direc-
ton no satisfactory precautions or
remedy can be devised.

WAR BRINGS WHISKER CRAZE
Fashions of Crimean War Days Re-

Mustaches.

London.--It looks as though there
would be revival of the hirsute FASH
ion of the days of the Crimean war
There is some disquiet in correct mil

subalterns TO acquire short side whis-
kers after the pattern of buffers on the
stage. This is regarded as an in
sidious feeler toward the full-blown
side whiskers of Crimean days.
The very suggestion has caused
Frank Richardson to burst out into at
least six abusive synonyms. The mus
tache cultivated recently by the mill
tary has been for some time of the
toothbrush or bristle variety. The
new fashion, of which the London
streets just now offer many distress
ing examples, is to abbreviate the
toothbrush on the upper lip until 1t
