Belgium PeFishes if War
Blinds u. S. TO Relief Work

Germans circulated hints that they
would be stopped. My most recent in
formation nevertheless is that about
10000 Belgian men have now been
taken-nobody knows where-and only
few hundred have been sent backl
The deportees who have been returned
probably owe their escape simply to
the fact that they are too starved and
feeble TO be Of any use.

fully to the future because we believe
America after the war Will help re-

Three Want the Honor and Advantage of Sheltering U. s. Warships Dur
 in the War

St. Nazaire, France, May 20.-(Corre-
 spondence of the Associated Press) Three French ports are now disputing
 for the honor and advantage of shelter
 ing the United States warships during the
 war, and American shipping afterward
 St. Nazaire is not so well known as either Brest, which had the further ad- vantage of being first in the field, or Bor-
 deaux, which counts upon the prestige of
 its municipal council and Chamber of
 Commerce intend to exploit for all they
 are worth.
 St. Nazaire Is only 277 miles from Paris, while Bordeaux Is $50 miles from the cap-
 ital and Brest 372. It Is consequently 73
 miles nearer the battle front than its rivals In the eventuality of the landing of
 American troops in France. It has, more over, the prestige of already having served as a base during the war The British service corps transferred its quarters from Rouen and Havre to St Nazaire for prudential reasons during the retreat of the allies from Charleroi. Brit ish troops to the number of 10000 with 12O00 horses, were brought there in 15C vessels in the fall and winter of 1914-15 and the first Canadian contingents land ed there.
 American ships also became familiar with the port after the British went back to Havre. More than a million tons of supplies and 60000 horses from America were imported there.
 The harbor of St Nazaire comprises larger roadstead of a mile and a quar-
 ter long and nearly half mile wide, and

The population of the Mississippi peni- tentiary is decreasing steadily. but the convicts are working more land than ever, improving public roads, crushing lime rock at two different plants, help ing to repair the old capitol building a new dormitory at the Agricultural and Mechanical college and assisting around any other state institution where labor CTS are wanted. The April report of the registrar showed 1416 convicts on hand, the May report shows but 1406, loss of 10 in 30 days, and that has been about the average loss per month for years. Five or six years ago the population was 1900. It is claimed that the death rate is lower than is that in any other penal Institution in the United States, it ire quently happening that there are no deaths during the month, as was the case in May. There are 125 white men, 32 negro women, the balance being negro men, and more than half of them be- tween the ages of 21 and 30, as the war department wants.

PIGS MAY REPLACE

 Waste

London, May 2o.-Keep pigs instead of chickens, is the governments latest ad- vice to householders bent on maintaining the food supply at the least possible ex- pense. It appears that it costs less to feed a big pig than 1t does to feed a little chicken. Chickens eat too much corn, for want of which horse racing Is about to be halted in this country, while pigs will clean up all the waste and scraps from the table.
