BRITISH CABINET
Get WAR REPORTS
DIRECT FROM Line

London, April 11.-(Correspondenc
of The Associated Press. Represent
atives of the British fighting forces
on land and sea attend every meet
ing Of the British War Cabinet, COM
munfcate to the members of the cab
met the latest information concern
ing the war and consult with them on
important questions.
At these conferences the army is
represented by Major General Sir
I Henry Hughes Wilson, Chief of the
Imperial Staff, and the navy by Vice
| Admiral Sir RIosslyn Wemyss, First
Sea Lord of the Admiralty
How the British War Cabinet op-
crates in deciding upon war policies
and directing Brita1ns share in the
war is told in the annual report of
the Cabinet now published for the
first time in history.
"At each meeting" says this official
statement of the workings of the in
ner circles Of the British government
''the Cabinet begins by hearing re-
ports as to the progress of the war
since the preceding day. Unless it
wishes to confine it's deliberations to
general questions of policy, it then
proceeds to deal with questions await
ing its decision. AS these questions
in the vast majority of cases affect
one or more OF the administrative de-
partments, almost all its meetings are
attended BY the ministers and their
chief departmental officials concerned.
1.-THE majority of the sessions of the
War Cabinet consist, therefore, Of a
series Of meetings between members
of the War Cabinet and those re-
sponsible for executive action at
which questions of policy concerning
those departments are discussed and
settled. Questions of overlapping or
conflict between departments are de-
termined and the general lines of pol
| icy throughout every branch of the
administration co-or3inated so as to
form part of a consistent war plan.
Ministers who are not members OF
the War Cabinet are permitted to
bring with them to the Cabinet meet
ings experts from their own depart
ments or from elsewhere and often do
so when expert opinion is needed to
decide an important question.
In peace times, sessions Of the
British Cabinet were infrequent but
under war pressure this has changed.
The War Cabinet has held 500 ses-
sions in the past year."

how to accommodate so many inmates

Treated Like Cattle
AS to the German inhumanity to
Belgians in Belgium, some testimony
has been obtained by Professor Ben
iamin Vallotton, one of the best
known French-Swiss authors of the
day, especially on account of his book
"Potterat and the War" Zee QUEEN
pense Potterat"). His information,
which he assures US was supplied him
from q source of unquestionable trust
worthiness, says that the Germans
are now more than ever compelling
Belgians of all ages to work for them,
without regard to their occupation or
state of health. In some parts, es-
| pecially in Limbourg and Luxem-
bourg, they are enclosed in concen-
| tration camps, as if they were cat
tie, and afterwards examined and
sorted out into categories, some be-
| ing sent to munition factories and
others obliged to dig trenches. They
are worked sometimes to such an ex-
| tent that they drop, and as a rule
when q worker is allowed to return
home it is because he is such physi-
cal wreck as to be incapable of doing
anything. Anyone protesting against
such maltreatment is either impris-
oned, perhaps in a dark and damp
cell, or sent to Germany, where it is
| impossible to ascertain his fate.
| After the Germans have removed
all machinery from Belgium, they are
now carrying off the materials OF
which the Belgian factories are made

ROOT AND HERB MEDICINES.

Indian medicine men contend that
the roots and herbs of the field fur
nish a panacea for every i'll to which
human flesh is heir. Be that as it
may, it is interesting to note that the
most successful remedy in the world
for female ills, Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, was compound
ed more than forty years ago by Mrs.
Lydia E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass,
from the roots and herbs of the field,
and today 1t is recognized from shore
to shore as the standard remedy for
female ills.-Adv.

The other day one such train reach
ed Basel from Belgium via Germany.
Its occupants were almost all Belgian
children, evacuated by the Germans
on the ground of their being in deli
cate health; but there were besides a
few old men and old women, French
subjects from occupied parts of
France, and two or three German wo-
men supposed to be looking after the
children. Despite the weather having
been bitterly cold, the carriages,
which were old fashioned and uncom-
fortable were not heated; and al
though the children had to remain
in 4hem from Thursday evening till
Saturday morning, they contained no
lavatory accommodation of any kind.
The doors and windows were locked
consequently there could be no ven
tilation. All the food these children
received on their journey was some
soup once in the day.
No Ventilation or Sanitation
When the train arrived in Basel
and the carriages were unlocked, the
scene was heartrending. The chill
Gren were numb with cold, and as
might have been expected, incredibly
filthy. If not for the great cold, in
deed, there would probably have been
an epidemic among them afterwards
owing to the complete absence of ven
.'tilation and sanitation. The Base

been accustomed to the mournfu1

one of these carriages and saw the

exclaimed: 1.-THE curse of God be up
on the Kaiser" Some of the children
were lying moaning, others were stu
pefied, some retained motionless
staring at the committee member:
and Red Cross nurses. The authori
ties were obliged Immediately to dis
infect all the carriages, and remove
them from the platform to a siding
as soon as the children had been tax
en- away. Almost without exception
the children had to go to the Infirm

NEW TELEGRAPHY GLASS
FORMING AT THE Y. M. @. A.

A new class is being formed at the
telegraphy school at the Y. M. c. A.
Glasses now meet on Wednesday and
Friday evenings from 1880 to $50
o'clock. 1t is hoped that many will
avail themselves of this privilege to
learn telegraphy. There will be
special classes for drafted and enlisted
men and for school teachers who wish
to learn biography with the object
in mind Of teaching the subject.
There is very special demand for
stenographers who are also teleg-
raphers. American operators are be-
ing commended on the other side for
their efficiency and we must ever in
crease the supply to meet the demand
abroad and at home.
