The preamble to the long communi-

of the alleged cruelties says:
The Belgian Matter.
1.-THE compulsory employment of
Belgian workmen in German estab-
lishments is being seized upon by our
enemies as a welcome opportunity for
inflaming public opinion in the neutral
and hostile countries against this al
legged latest violation of the Belgian
people. This effort as arousing senti.

to assume considerable proportions

on Europe in Our Time," before the
Brooklyn Institute on January 80, with
a survey of events in Europe during
the four years prior to the great war.
Following the death of Edward VII
on May 6, 1910, said Prof. Mcclellan,
came a period of intense calamity, and,
unhappily for civilization, three of the
most extreme jingoes in Europe occu-
pied positions of the first Importance
in their respective governments-Saz
onoff, in Russia, violent Pan-Slavist;
Welcasse, with his sinister influence
over French foreign affairs; and Win
ston Churchill, who as first Lord of
the Admiralty in England never ceased
in his efforts to bring about war be-
tween his country and the German EN-
pire.
What might have happened had
King Edward lived is, of course, i'm
possible to say, yet it is reasonably
certain that had he remained in con-
troll of British foreign policy he would
have used his great influence and abil-
ity in behalf of the peace of the world"
he declared.
For nearly fifty years the peoples
of the world have been dominated and
inspired by this almost indefinable but
none the less overwhelming force that
has guided and governed the recent
history of Europe more completely
than has any ideal ever swayed the
political activities of mankind. At the
last analysis Nationality is nothing but
selfishness"

work of distributing the Relief Funds
from start to finish. Let us go first to
the Relief Fund Office. 1t is one large
room; the stairs leading to it are
crowded with fine young men, some
looking very i'll. These are the men
who were out" in Easter Week and
have just been released from English
jails, some in a dying state. There is
no place for them to wait save on the
stairs, for renting room to wait in

the Relief Committee. Every penny
is required urgently to keep famine
from those who acted "a brave mans
part" AS they stand on the stairs
they talk earnestly and cheerfully,
some breaking out now and then into
softly lifted or whistled rebel song
as they wait their turn to report their
release, and give particulars as to
what work they can do. A labor bu-
reau is run in connection with the
Dublin Relief Fund and little work
is obtained in this way. Employers
are also approached by the committee

Easter fight.
| On one side of the relief office, par.
ticulars of the cases to be relieved
are being taken. On another side
money collected for the fund is being
received and acknowledged. On an.
other, the secretarial work is being
done and the rest of the room is oc.
cupied by those apportioning money
to either the distributors of relief or
receiving the receipts from them

thing that strikes the distributor is
the cheerfullness, refinement and hos
pitality of the women and returned

rooms decorated with portraits of the
latest Irish martyrs-they are merely
photographs, but they have decorated
them with the orange, green and

The room is often uncarpeted but
miraculously clean and the invitation

on you. A few minutes talk is spared

MRS. JOSEPH s. BACON

| The elder sister of William j. anC
Miss Angie M. Holley of Dorset, Vt.
and Mrs. w. B. Sheldon of Benning
ton, passed away at her home in Niles
Michigan, on March II, 1917, at thu
age of so years.
Her maiden name was Harriet Z
Holley, daughter of Justus Holley ant
Eliza E. Woodward of Dorset. Ir
September, 1862, she married JOSEPH
s. Bacon, brother of Mrs. Frederick
Field, then of Dorset.
Her home for IS years has been in
Niles. There her husband died in 1885,
leaving her with four little daughters
and son. She with her children made
many visits to Vermont and always
retained deep affection for the home
and the friends of her childhood.
Mrs. Bacon, with her husband, was
a member of the Presbyterian Church
in Niles. Their seat in the old church
was near the front, and some will re-
member five little heads in the long
pew between father and mother that
were not always motionless. Yet every
child has risen to call that mother
blessed. Mrs. Bacon with many home
cares, especially after the death Of her
husband, was yet helper in all the
missionary and philanthropic work of
the church, and was one of small
group Of ladies to form perhaps the
first Literary Club in Niles in 1878.
She was quick in her sympathies,
warm in her affections and dear to a
large circle of friends.
One daughter, Bessie, died at the
age Of %. Three married daughters,
especially the youngest one, with
whom she lived, and her son, lawyer
in Niles, like his father and his grand
father before him, were near to min
lister in all filial ways to her in years
OF helplessness, borne with rare cour-
age and good cheer.

A volunteer regiment composed en-
tfrely OF Chinese, except for the Off

change. Whether or not their SER
vices will be accepted is a problem
for the war Office to solve.
The regiment will be composed Of
Chinese actors who took part in the
unique Red Feather photoplay, The
War Of the Tongs." the only one
ever produced which was written by
a Chinaman and acted by a cast made
up exclusively OF Chinese.
When China followed the action Of
the United States and broke of dip
iomatic relations with Germany the
war spirit blazed forth among the
actors who had been making the new
film Later came news that China

The Chinese will insist upon only
one thing in case they are enrolled

They are willing to forego their ma
tive costumes and don the regulation
uniforms, but they insist upon having
some special ratiOns with rice as the
chief food. They have already taken
up drill exercises, and are mastering
the rudiments as rapidly as they
learned the art of acting before the
camera.
They have scored a success with
their photoplay which Is now show
