 Father de Vile personally is round ing up the great throng of young sters. Boys and girls, ranging from 2 and 8 to 13 years, are his quests.
 Belgians and Belgian-Americans, living in the states, have supplied him with the names and probable where abouts of orphaned nephews, nieces and grandchildren. All now are wait ing to gather the little motherIess and fatherless chicks under the peaceful shelter of their own wings.
 Not a few "unhyphenated" Ameri- cans are also parties to the charitable enterprise
 The clergyman's searches are talk ing him into city and hamlet. Every where he is forced to foot his way into avenue and byroad. War denies him the luxury of either horse or automobile. Fifteen and even twenty miles he covers in single day.
 Very Short and very stout, he puffs along with much effort; but with good old Yankee cheerfulness he makes the best of it.
 Railroad and ship tickets for the brood already are provided Father de Vile in person will escort the 1900 children to America. Afterward, he will supervise their adoption, for the most part in the south and west. Wartime works of mercy are not new to Father de Vile. Some months ago he placed 600 Belgian war or phans in childless American homes. Previously he had settled a colony of Belgian farmers and their families in the states.

BOY SCOUTS AS USHERS AT
 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Special to Gateway by United Pressl
 ST. LOUIS, May I6.-Preparations for the Democratic National conven- ton which will be called to order here June l4 were in full swing today.
 The police department was prepar- ing a schedule for policemen and de- tectives to be followed during the stay of the delegates. Hundreds of extra policemen will be sworn in for special duty during the democrats meeting.
 The Boy Scouts troops will do their share of work and most likely will be used as ushers in the Coliseum, where the convention will be held. Other youngsters will act as guides to visitors.
 The civic organizations of the city were busy getting out literature which will aid the delegates and their families in seeing the city's points of interest.
 Work on the preparation of the Coliseum will begin in a few days, Manager Robinson said. Hundreds of special seats in addition to the plat form, and arrangements for the press representatives will be arranged.

ALL FOR Is CENTS
w. NJ. Davis Must Pay $500 Fine and
Stay in Jail $50 Days.

w. NJ. Davis. negro, was charged
with selling liquor-four sales and a
nuisance count.
One witness went on the stand and
testified that he had bought two half
pints of whisky ''at Davis's house." but
not of Davis.
Another witness went on the stand
and testified that he bought one half
pint of Davis but did not pay him for
it and that he split another half pint
with Davis, paying him twenty-five
cents for his share.
An aged negro woman who is sup
ported by Davis went on the stand and
testified that the house where Davis
lives belongs to her and that Davis
merely roomed and boarded there.
Elisha Scott, negro attorney for Da-
Wis, brought out all these points. He
failed the witnesses and declared any
one who looked at them while on the
stand knew they We're perjuring them
selves. He declared and offered to
prove that just before court convened
the witness who testified to buying di-
rectly of Davis said in the presence of
four witnesses that he had never done
so.
Robert Yates. police judge, found
Davis guilty on all five counts and
sentenced him to pay a fine of $500
on each count and serve thirty days in
Jail on each count-s500 fine and $50
days in Jail Davis determined to APP
peal and was required to furnish an
appeal bond of $500.
One of the witnesses admitted he
had been in Jail and both admitted
they were drinking men.
Davis testified that he had never
before been arrested and gave the
names of men for whom he works
regularly

South American Countries Are
Buying Machinery Here.
Can Not Get Ships to Haul
Products From e. S.

New York. May 17.-Despairing of
obtaining adequate tonnage to ship
their exports and to bring to them in
return needed manufactured articles
from the United States, numerous big
shippers of Central and South America
now are buying in this country ma
chinery with which they may turn
their raw products into manufactured
articles for their own trade, according
to Robert Lee Dunn, secretary of the
All-American association. a pan-Amer-
lean trade organization with head
quarters here.
During the past few months" Mr..
Dunn said, 'many prominent men of
Colombia, Brazil. Argentina and other
Latin-American countries who have
deSisted in their efforts to secure
steamship service, have placed extern
sive orders for manufa curing ma
chinery.

lone of these orders was for COM
plete shoe factory for Colombia. An
other line of industry soon to be pro-
NOTED in Brazil is the manufacture of
wire for fencing, Geographic and tele-
phone purposes. Orders for machin-
cry to equip a factory in Brazil for
the manufacture of tinware has been
placed with New York and Philadel-
phia firms, and in Argentina there is
to be built by an American concern a
factory that will turn out nothing but
nails.
Another order recently placed with
an American firm by a responsible
company doing business in Brazil and
Argentina is for complete rope MAX
ing factory.
I'VE are finding more than ever that
the people of Central America want to
do their foreign business here. They
are willing to trade on a cash basis.
Through this organization We have
handled since January L almost $780,
900 inrgold coin, deposited here to
draw against in their transactions. In
addition to this gold, South and Gem

NOT BRING PEACE
Grey's Speech a Repetition, Say
the German Newspapers.
TeutOn Government FavOrs In
dependence of Belgium.

Berlin. May 17-''German newspa-
pers discuss at length the statement
attributed to Sir Edward Grey, in
which he took up the origin and OBJ
iect of the war" says the Overseas
News agency. 1.-The newspapers agree
that Sir Edward merely repeated
statements which already had been
refuted by Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, who IN his speech of August
10, 1915, discussed Premier Asquith's
utterances on the same topic. The
premier then stated that Germany had
made impossible an understanding
with Great Britain in the Negotiations
before the war by asking Great Britain
to pledge her neutrality in the event
Germany became engaged in war.
The chancellor pointed out, how
ever, that Germany had asked assur-
ance of Great Britain's neutrality in
case war should be forced upon
Germany, which is quite a different
thing in as much as it excludes the
be forced to remain neutral If Ger
many should entertain intentions of
aggressive action.
Assert Aggressive Action.
THE newspapers refute the declar-
alton of the British foreign secretary
that England had no intention of act
ing aggressively toward Germany by
quoting secret reports OF belgian
diplomats which show the manner in
which British diplomacy had aimed
for years to isolate Germany and ex-
pose her to the attack of a coalition.
a'Sir Edward Grey's remarks in re-
gard to the restoration of Belgium are
answered by pointing out that Chan
cellor Won Bethmann Hollweg in his
latest speech indicated that Germany
favors really neutral and really in
dependent Belgium. a state which is
willing to collaborate with Germany
as with other countries. Sir Edward
disregards well established facts, the
newspapers say, and therefore his ut
terances are hardly likely to promote
the cause of peace, although he does
not use the high sounding phrase that
Germany ought to be crushed, which
previously has usually been given as
Great Britain's object in the war
