LEADERSHIP SHOULD
FALL ON AMERICA
Position of Neutrals Has Be
come Unbearable in Opin-
ion of Dutch Leaders,
Who Make Their Appeal
to American Sense of JUS
tice.

London, Dec. 12.-The Associated
Press has received from Amsterdam
an appeal to the American people" by
the Holland section of the Lea cue Of
Neutral States. The appeal is signed
by President Niemeyer and Secretaries
Delaifaille and Walsh. II follows:
your president has said that sooner
or later a moment would come when
the war would make the position of
neutral nations unbearable. For us
Hollanders that moment has arrived;
not through our own sufferings, but
because we cannot longer passively
contemplate the CHASTITY suffering in
flicted by Germany upon Belgium. our
neighbor.
MOCERN SLAVE DEALING.
THE eloquent protests Of the Bel
gian government and of the higher
clergy have acquainted you with the
facts A glance at the section of The
Hague regulations of 1917, which deals
with the law Of war on land. viii make
it obvious to you that the sole reason
why the prohibition of this modern
slave dealing was not included was
because no delegate imagined it could
ever be necessary.
Indeed, one must turn to the his
tory of the early ages before interna-
tional law existed to find parallel to
the ensaving of the Belgians, The
Hague regulations stipulate that the
honor and rights of the family must
be respected, but the German govern
ment deliberately drags the Belgian
families apart. TO us this cruelty is
more vivid every day. Every day num-

APPEAL TO UNITED STATES.

And for you, citizens of the might
lest of the neutra; states, it is, in our
opinion. the right and duty to take the
leadership upon yourselves. Only if
you place yourselves at the head can
any success crown your efforts. This
tyranny is not to be borne in patience,
and the neutral nations can no longer
stand idly by while in western Europe
the most primitive laws of humanity,
observed even by uncivilized races, are
trampled under foot.
eve appeal to you to urge your gov
eminent to energetic and decisive ac-
ton and to call upon the other neu-
trail nations to rally around you. That
they will find faith and strength in
your leadership is evidenced by the
stream of messages expressive of sym
pathy and desire to cooperate Which
have reached us from the moment we
published our intention to make this
appeal to the American people.
we do not hesitate to take it upon
ourselves to speak with firm convic-
ton in the name of humanity, and our
hope is firmly fixed on that sense of
justice which always has formed one
Of the most cherished traditions of
citizens of the United States. Ameri-
cans, we are convinced that you will
not disappoint our expectations"

 New York, N.

But people often fan to get the strength out of their food because they haven't enough iron in their blood to enable 1t to change food into living matter. From their weakened, nervous wrong, but they can't tell what, so they generally commence doctoring for stomach, liver or kidney trouble. or symptoms of some other ailment caused by the lack of iron in the blood. This thing may go on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony. If you are not strong or well. you owe 1t to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of or- dfnary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, rundown people who were ailing all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of

Advocated at Convention of American Association for Advancement of Science.


 New York, Dec. 27.-Adoption of the metric system of weights and meas ures for commercial use in the United States and also of the daylight sav- ing plan, was advanated today by spelSers at the convention of the Amefican Association for the Ad- vancement of Science.
 An unusual opportunity is offered at present to make the metric system the American, as well as the international language of commerce, asserted Geo. F. Kunz, president of the New York Academy of Science.
 For the effective development of that all foreign catalogues and publi- cations issued by our manufacturers should have all dimensions expressed in metric as well as in English terms of weights and measures"
 The demand for war materials, he added, had forced the introduction of the metric system in many factories.
 A permanent organization to urge the adoption of the metric system was suggested by Henry V. Army of the College of Pharmacy at Colombia Uni- versity.

 Women took a leading part in the discussion. Many southern negro tales and legends were traced to European sources by Mrs. Elsie Clews Parsons of New York, in addressing the American Folk Lore Society. Some of these stories and legends, she said, were told to African negroes by Port uguese traders many centuries ago.

LONDON IS SHRoUDED
 IN A DENSE FOG
Traffic Disorsanization and Great In-
 convenience the Result.

London, Dec. 27, 9:50 p. m.-One of the thickest fogs of recent years en- veloped London today. disorganizing traffic and causing great inconven- fence. Owing to the restrictions with regard to the lighting of the city, the sombre pail at nishtfaH brought sur face traffic to a complete standstill. The onnfbuses stopped running, taxi- cabs disappeared from the streets and the people moved about with the aid of torchlights and electric flashlights.
 The underground railways were not affected and were the only means of transportation. They. however, were soon choked by the enormous crowds with the result that numerous stations had to be closed until the crush was relieved in order to prevent accidents. Steam railway traffic to and from London was halted from points as far away as Birmingham, which was also enVelcped by the fog. The fog here was remarkable because at frequent intervals it was dark gray, murl1y yell low and black.
