The Evidence Of Wonderful Results
From pr. Crcasy's Chtropracdc
Adjustments.
Little Gertrude Farmer, four years
old. Of 1924 Hull Street. had infantiie
paralysis when one year old, and be-
fore she had learned to walk. and for
three years one lower limb was use
less. After treatment by various
methods with no Improvement. DR..
Greasy was asked to take the case
last May. After three treatments she
could stand on her feet for the first
time in her life; in several weeks she
was walking without assistance. Since
it became known that Gertrude could
walk. many people have called at her
home to see her and talk with her
mother about the case. Pressure on
the nerves going to the limb caused
the paralysis. DIR. Greasy corrected
the displaced bone In her little spine,
removing the cause OF tho trouble. and
the use OF the limb was restored. The
treatment never caused Gertrude any
pain or discomfort.

"PALS never TELL"
YOUNGSTERS prove
Wounded Boy Shields Friend Who
Shot Him in Play.

The story Of Damon and Pythias
has found a counterpart in the Ma
tional Capital in two lads in their
teens who are probably not aware
OF their distinction.
Late Wednesday afternoon William
Frizzell. l2 years old, New Cut road
northwest, while In a rowboat in the
Potomac River. was struck in the
head by a small callber bullet. He
was taken to the Georgetown Univer-
sity Hospital. Young Frizzsll told the
police Of the Seventh precinct that he
had been struck by a bullet fred by
an unidentified person on the shore.
Maurice T. Donaldson, u years old,
1853 Thirty-fifth street northwest, a
friend Of FrizEell, posed as the hero
by rescuing his friend from the river.
Both boys held to the story. Detec-
tive Sergt. Strinsfellow solved the
mystery yesterday. He says young
FriEzell. lying on his cot at the hos
pital, confessed to his mother yester-
day morning
1t appears that F'riEzell and Donald
son were playing at the boathouse.
Donaldson was locked In the building
in spirit of playfulness by Fri1Zell.
The imprisoned boy told Frizzell II he
was not released he would shoot him.
Donaldson had found q loaded gun
in the building. He carried out his
threat and fred through the oak door
Of the boathouse. The spent bullet
struck Frizzell. After the shooting
the two boys invented the story first
told the police.

Rev. c. E. Fultz Writes
Herald Sunday Sermon

Rev. Charles .. Fultz, pastor
of the Memorial United Brethren
Church, North Capitol and r
streets northwest, who has long
been looked upon as one Of the
leading pastors in the city, will
write The Herald Sunday sermon
tomorrow.
Mr.. Fultz. born in York, Pa,
was ordained in 1897, his first pas
torste being in Greencastle, Pa.
Later he was transferred to the
Otterbein Memorial Church, in
Baltimore, where he served for ten
years. He received his early min
isterial education at the Bone
brake Theological Seminary, Day
ton, Ohio.
Coming here In 1908. Mr.. Fultz
has made his church one Of the
most popular ones In the Bloom
ingdale section Of Washington.
Early in 1919 through his untiring
efforts, extensive improvements
were made at the church, with the
result that the United Brethren
Church today enjoys the distine-
ton Of having one OF the most
up-to-dats Sunday schools IN the
city. ~

RED CROSS TO have
AMERICAN WAR DOGS
CANNES with Gas Masks Will Locate
Wounded Soldiers.

The American dog is going to do his
bit in the war.
Red Cross CANNES are in big de-
mand on the Western front. Wearing
gas masks. they go out between the
trenches and locate unconscious,
wounded men iR piles of dead.
The Red Cross establishment. which
will care for American wounded when
the national army starts pounding the
Kaiser, would be incomplete without
its quota OF dogs. Plans are under
way to have Uncle Sans bow-wows
take their places on the fighting line
beside those of France and Great
Britain, some Of which have actually
received decorations for their work
under fire.
Several months OF training is neces-
sary before the dogs are ready for
service Many Red Cross dogs have
been produced In England. AS trench
warfare has rendered them a neCes-
sity, A project Is under consideration
to train the American ''Rovers"
somewhere in the United States and
to send them over with other Red
Cross units. Bluebloods are not the
only ones needed. Yellow ours can

WILSON TAKES HAND
IN Big War MEASURES
President Assumes Active Control
of Economic and Diplomatic
Policies.

President Wilson has taken into his
own hands the economic and diplo-
mAtic measures OF war. He IL rely
ing on military and naval experts for
the military operations. The opera
lions behind the lines by tempera-
ment and by circumstance, have been
forced into his own hands and he is
settling them.
They are by no means the less i'm
portant phases Of the participation Of
the United States, in the viewpoint OF
the President. The war Cannot be
won unless industry is effectively
modified behind the fighting men. he
has said several times. No more can
it be won now, the President believes,
unless the economic forces Of the
United States are brought fully into
play throughout the world at war and
the world at peace.
In the last few days Mr.. Wilson
has taken personal charge OF the fol-
lowing problems and will settle them
in his own way:
Decision as to extent Of the food en-
barge, as applied to neutrals.
Reorganization of the Council OF Ma
tional Defense and making the busI-
ness of purchasing for this nation and
the allies a part OF It's duties.

RUSSIANS DO NOT !

Mission from Petrosrsd Frowns on
Suggestions of Help.

Money, munitions and railroad sup
plies are what Russia wants from the
United States. The suggestion that
American troops be sent TO strength
en- the slav armies IL frowned upon,
both by the members OF the Russian
mission and the State Department.
An immediate further credit Of
81, 900, 10000 10 being urged upon this
government by the Russian mission.
The money Is vital to the success OF
the revolution, Il Is stated, as the
credit of SIT. 0o0, 900 already extended
has been practically used up or con-
tracted for, and immense quantItiss
OF railroad supplies and munitions
are still needed to rehabilitate the
country and stem the German ad-

The dispatches received yesterday
by the State Department from Am
bassador Francis. at Petrograd, stat
ing that the mutiny and consequent
reverse to Russian arms on the Cali
clan front had strengthened the
hands Of the revolutionary govern
ment in Petrograd. were hailed with
relief by members Of the Russian
mission. They see in the optimistic
reports Of the Ambassador q strong
argument for the granting OF further
credit. The fact that the suggestions
Of the Root mission as TO reorganiz-
ing the railroad systems Of the eoun-
try are reported TO have been reeeiv-
ed automatically by the govern
mont IL considered another strong
reason for getting the additional
credit.
The United States has advanced
81, 100, 10000 to the allies. In view of
this, Russia does not believe her de-
mand unreasonable. Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo 10 said to be strong
