ELEPHANT ISLAND.
One of South Shetland Group Shackleton Tells How Men Amuse Themselves in the Region.
(special to The Bulletin ]


 Washington, D. C.. Sept. 22.-Dur- ing the last two years the civilized worlds sensibilitics have become deadened to the shock of human cas- ualties estimated by the thousands and the tens of thousands on the bat tlefelds of Europe but that man kinds sense of sympathy for human suffering and an appreciation of her oism have not become blunted is forcefully demonstrated in the deep interest manifested in the fate of a band of 22 explorers of Sir Ernest Shackletons Antarctic expedition land. The following bulletin was ts- graphic Society in Washington on this island and the Shackleton expe dition:
 Tt will be several weeks, probably. before the world learns whether Sir Ernest Shac1eton meets with suc cess in his fourth attempt to rescue from Elephant Island the p men of his Antarctic expedition to whom he said farewell on April 24th when with five companions he set sail in an open boat, 22 feet long, to cross frozen seas for a distance of 750 miles in search Of succor. The story of this wonderful voyage was given to the world when the leader of the expedi- tion reached Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, the last of May, after hav- panions by sailing from South Geor gia Island in an S0-ton wha1er. but was turned back by streams of pack ice.

PRINCE MAxIMILiAN'S
BURIAL PLACE
Said to be at Hazebrouck Only Few
 Miles From Belgian Border.
Especial to The Bulletin.)


 Washington, D. C.. Sept. 22.-Many American tourists have stopped over night in the TrappiSt monastery where according to a report recently publish ed in a Paris newspaper, the youthful Prince MaXimilian died of wounds in the third month of the European war. After nearly two years of mysterious silence concerning the fate of this member of the royal family of Ger many, it is now said that Hazebrouck is the place of burial of the Kaiser $ nephew. This town is only a few miles south of the Belgian border and about IS miles from Ypres where the Germans in their first onward drive toward the sea were definitely checked by the flooding of the lowlands," ac- cording to todays war geography bull Ietin of the National Geographic So- ciety, issued from it's Washington headquarters:
 When peace is eventually declared a search will doubtless be made in the humble little cemetery of Hazebrouck to recover the body of the royal sub lieutenant and carry it back to his mother, the youngest sister of the kaiser.
 The fighting to the east of Haze brouck was exceptionally severe dur ing the early months of the war, for this French town of 12,000 inhabitants is a place of extraordinary strategic
 
 juction point of railroads leading to the North Sea port of Dunkirk, 25 miles to the north;- to Arras, 70 miles to the south; to Calais, 3S miles to the northwest, and to Lille, 29 miles to the southeast. The German advance nev- CT reached as far as Hazebrouck. The battle line now runs north and south between Lille anl Hazebrouck, about 15 miles east of the latter.
 "The town of Godewaersvelde, where Prince Maximilian is supposed to have received his fatal wound, is the last village before crossing the French border into Belgium on the Hazebrouck- Ypres line. Above the lit tie town towers the Mont des Cats, on top of which is situated the modern Trappist monastery where the wound ed officer was nursed.
 "The tourists who frequented the monastery in the days before the war were those who wished to take ad- vantage of it's hospitable walls for a nights lodging in order to get an early start for delightful walking excursions

DRINK HOT WAITER
 IF YOU DESIRE A ROSY COMPLEXION
Says we can't help but look better and feel better
 after an inside bath.

To look one's best and feel one's best is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous days waste, sour fermenta absorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustibile ma terial in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave in the alimentary organs a certain amount of indigestible material, which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are intended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body
 If you want to see the glow Of your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of washing the waste material and neys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Men and women with shallow skins liver spots, pimples or pallid com a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phosphated hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced re- suits in one or two weeks.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs very little a: the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the inside organs. We must always consider that internal sanitation is vastly more inn portant than outside cleanliness, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do

Probably there are just about as many million answers to that ques- tion as there are million farmers in the country. Each one may have a personal and individual reason, which may never be exactly the same as that of any other one.

We'll, why do we?

Some time ago number of my neighbors were discussing the gen eral question of farm returns. One of the best posted of the lot, indeed, the one whom we should all have picked out as most likely to know about the incomes of the town, re- marked that there wasn't a farmer in the town who was making $500 year, clean profit. This, though there are several who own and are sup posed to farm as much as 800 acres apiece Nobody contradicted him or expressed doubt of his being right.

The New London democrats sent a delegation to the state convention op- posed to Bryan F. Mahan and Alton T. Miner, that is a ma jority of the delegation, and strange to relatt the voice of Mahan was the only voice of a New Londonerer heard in the con- vention, and MT. Miner who was mo- toring in Maine was nominated for state comptroller. Whats the matter? Was the New London delegation with out influence outside of the senatorial district? Senator Miner was not nominated by a delegate from New London but his name was presented by Christopher l.. Avery of Groton.

MT. Geary's friends over the line urged him to reenter politics and he yielded. He wen. as a delegate from the town to the democratic state con- vention in New Haven this week and captured the coveted position of state central committeeman for the Shoe string district, perhaps the largest in the state. It will not take MT. Geary long to size up the political situation in the district, and if satisfied there is chance of democratic success, he may succeed BenJarnin H. Hewitt in the state senate. If this would come to pass the district would surely have senator worthy the name, and the state have the benefit of progressive and business like service.

A quarter century or more ago, MT. Geary had ambition to represent New Lonoon in part in the state legislature, but the activity of Mahan prevented. Several years later he accepted nomi- nation for senator from the old ninth district but was defeated b ya slight margin, and this defeat was attribu- ted to the Mahan influence. These are some of the reasons why Geary and Mahan never shook hands when they happened to meet on the streets of the city. But now MT. Geauy is back in his native town and his true worth is known there just as well as it is in New London ,and ne will be welcomed as the political Moses. His coming back will prove a valuable ac- qusition to the democratic party, as he is not only an active and efficient worker, but he is one of the very best public speakers in the state of Con- necticut. ......
