With King Albert's Army in Bel
piun, Jan. 13.-Probahly the most
Amelicanized Belgian in the Belgian
Army today is Dr. John Brasser, 60,
or Norway, Mich.
During the 25 years lived in north
ern Michigan DR.. Brasser neVe@
dreamed of returning to Europe. In
mediately following his medical course
at the University of Liege, he had
pone to America, taken post grad
uate medical course at the University
of Pennsylvania, and then located in
the Belgian colony, which now num-
bers about 10000, in the iron mining
regions of Michigan.
A number of DR.. Brasser's univer-
sity associates at Liege had also To-
Gated in the United States, at New
York, Chicago, Washington and else
where. These DIR. Brasser went to
visit once every year.
But with the coming of the war

Grafton has an attraction drawn such
large audiences in this city. Long
lines of buyers reach down the street
and were it not for the fact that
prior booking arrangements will ne
cessite an early announcement Of the
end of the engagement, it could be
prolonged indefinitely. Because Of
these conditions, the management de-
sires to impress upon the public the
great convenience of purchasing seats
we'll in advance. That does away with
the long wait in line and the patrons
run no risk of missing the opening
scenes, which are of great interest.
In this limited announcement it is
impossible to even indicate the char
acter of the entertainment. TIE only
way to get any idea of the splendors
of "Intolerance" is to see it. Be
sides the splendors of its thousands
of scenes, there is a marvellous musi-
cal score, played by large symphony

WASHINGTON, Aug. i3.
Warning of the possibility Of dras-

ment to stop excessive pleasure use
of automobiles during the war IN
order that the gasoline needs OF
the United States and Its allies
may be met, is given in a. state
msnt issued today by Director Van
II. Manning Of the bureau OF mines
In which he asks the cooperation
of automobile owners in stopping
the practice.
Enough gasoline to care for the
requirements of America and peI-
haps that of its allies will be saved,
In the opinion Of Mr.. Manning, III
automobile owners Of the country
will stop unnecessary and extrava-
CANT pleasure riding and II owners
and dealers handle this fuel in a
careful and economical manner.
"A patriotic, thoughtful and un-
selfish response TO these sugges-
Aions," he said, would at once solve
one Of the perplsxing problems now
before the war-making authorities.
In order that the war may be car
ried on successfully the army and
navy will have to have immediate
" on hand enough gasoline for the
aeroplanes, trucks, automobiles,
tractors and other machines. There
must be no dilly-dallying about this
