The vests are in great demand by
officers and men alike. whether at the

wrote from The trenches that his vest
was worth its weight in gold.

TO COMMEMORATE HEROISNL.
Monument Will Be Erected on Bat
tlefield of User

tlefield of User
Paris, Feb, "a monument Of
rather original conception, designed
by Corporal George Hendrick, of
Brussels, and erected by the Belgian
army on the battlefield of the User,
will commemorate the heroism Of
the Belgian soldiers who fell there in
defence of the last little corner of free
Belgium.
A massive wall symbolical of the
rampant that opposed the German
advance in Flanders will rise from the
center of the semi-circle of parapets
SO arranged as to recall the trench
life on the User front. Thirty-four
small columns will be erected at the
base of the ramparts to bear the en-
graved names of men who died on
the User
A block of uncut stone bearing on
one face the verses that the late poet
Verhaeren conscreated to the young
Belgians who have died for their
country will be placed in the front of
the wall. The location of the monu-
ment will probably not be given out
for publication until all danger of
commandments has passed.

WOMAN TELLS OF
ASSAULT IN JAIL
Mrs. Beudnger Describes Visit Of
County Official

Newark, N. J., Feb. 6.-Mrs. Mar
garet Reutinger, recently acquitted Of
the murder of her husband. told on
the witness stand in the quarter Ses-
sions court in that city yesterday de-
tails of the visit paid to her in the
Newark Jail by Freebooter Ernest E.
Ryman. Ryman is on trial charged
with assault and battery. The visit
occurred on November 8, just after
the jury had disagreed at the wom-
ans first trial.
Mrs. Beutinger said she was i'll in
bed when the freeholder entered.
The matron introduced him to her.
She said that Ryman's first remark
was that if he had been on the jury
he would have voted for her convic-
ton.
Mrs oeutinger said she began to
cry at this and told Ryman she
wouldn't kill an ant unless it were to
protect herself.
"Ryman then said he was sorry"
Mrs. Beutinger testified. 'He said he
didn't think I was such a small and
good looking woman, and told me
that if he had known this be would
have been for my acquittal.
"At this Ryman pulled my hand
toward him and pressed it to his face.

HOPES u. S. WILL NOT
JOIN IN WORLD WAR
Lord Northcliffe Says Our Moral Sup
port and Munitions Will Be
Sufficient.

London, Feb. 6.-Lord Northciffe,
owner of the Times. the Daily Mail
and other publications, made the fol-
lowing to the Associated Press con-
corning the severing of relations with
Germany:
cit is generally felt here that when
the history Of this great world revo-
luton is written future generations
will realize that the United States
has exhibited patience and forbear-
ance t. a point beyond which ma
| tional honor and dignity could not
go. It is hoped by a majority of the
English people that America will not
| be drawn into the war. The Entente
Allies have Prussia we'll in hand, and
it's sympathy, moral support and as
sistance with finance. munitions and
food will be rendering our crusade
an immense service.
eff military Intervention become
necessary I do not doubt that the
American contingent now in the
ly spent an interesting day. Our
navy has great faith in yours.
"The Prussian policy is not sup
ported by the other German states.
some Of which I know are protesting
against a continuance of the horrors
of the enslavement of women in
France and Belgium and have indi-
Gated that Prussia's astounding idea
Of freedom of the seas is the wors,
possible kind of propaganda for Ger
German kultur.
There Is no possibility of Ger
many starving Great Britain. Next
to yourselves we are the most waste
full people on earth, but figures OF
our food reserves with which T am
acquainted, show that if we exercise
moderate economy the protection OF
our navy will enable us to carry or
the war for an indefinite number OF
Iyears, If necessary"
