London, s. W. l., July 81, 1917.
To the Editor of the Herald:
The National Committee for Relief
in Belgium recently announced that
they were suspending their appeals
in this country, as the American gov
eminent had taken on itself the work
Of relieving the Belgians In Belgium.
This announcement, although quite
clear in itself, has left a widespread
impression, that all other Belgian
Charities had also stopped and in
consequence there has been a marked
falling off In the subscriptions to 9TH
er Belgian Funds.
I shall esteem it a favor If you will
kindly make it clear to your readers
that the work taken over by the
American government Is that Of re-
lieving Belgians in Belgium, and that
there are other numerous Charities
which are still being carried out in
this country. The objects Of some Of
these may be mentioned:

Court and Grand Jury in
Session.

Court convened Monday with
a mammouth docket confront
ing it and the populace has been
amazed at the rabidity with
which Judge Carter has kept the
machinery of the court moving,
as the District Attorney rushed
from each completed case to the
next on docket with time be-
tween for no more than one
deep breath. till now it appears
that with a few cases that have
gone over for absent witnesses,
and this unusually quick dis
patch of the others, the work
may after all be completed this
week.
The Knight trial, which is at
attracting perhaps the most in
terest of any on docket, will
come up Friday and Sam Hen

TRUNK LINE ROUTES DISCUSSED.

The proposed routes of the Manito-
voc county part of the projected state
trunk line highways were the cause OF
meeting in Manitowoc Tuesday after
noon. The trunk lines as proposed run
in four directions from Manitowoc.
One goes south to Sheboygan over the
"Manitowoc' road through Clover and
ST. Wendell, one west over the Calu'
met road TO Chiffon, one northwest to
Green Bay and one north from Two
Rivers to Kewaunee on the range line
road through the town of Two Greeks.
Communities situated along roads not
chosen naturally object 10 these routes.
have the road leading west changed
from the Calumet road to the Menasha
road running through Branch, White
law, Cato, Reedsville and Brillion and
to have the road northward to Kewau-
nee moved farther from the lake so as
to take in Mishicet. Tisch Mills and
Norman. The crowd filed the circuit
court room. Division Engineer w. M.
Conway and j. T. Donaghey, state
b ghway engineer, were present tax ng
down the testimony asking and answer
ing questions and making suggestions.
Chairman of the County Board, John
Even, presided. The meeting lasted
from two o'clock until after four and
everyone was heard who had anything
TO say. The discussions were at times
spirited. The proposed changes were
urged from every conceivable angle
and the interest Of the various commu.
tiles in the matter was very apparent
and very real. One of the strongest
points in favor of moving the northern
to Kewaunee further away from the
lake was that it would then serve a
large territory on each side which
would more than make up for the ad-
ditional 81 miles of length. Access to
building material along the routes
played an important part.
There were delegations Of leading
citizens from all the interested villages
and towns and the relative merits OF
the different routes surely had a
thorough airing.
A decision is expected this fall.

THE GIRL OR THE STAR.

George Hardtke has been serving as
substitute policeman while the regu-
lars took their vacations. Officer
Ladwig was called to the Williams
House annex the other night on report
that man was prowling around. He
found the extra cop and one OF the
annex maids oblivious to the whole
exterior world. Ladwig told the
young man to beat it back to his beat
and Hardtke removed his star and de-
livered 1t and his equipment to the
officer to be handed in for him. He
then turned back to bis more serious
affair with the maid. Here surely
was evidence of devotion that ought
10 appeal to any girl and it also evinc.
ed a capacity for instant decision in
important matters that good police
man should possess. George should
make good cop as well as good
