SMALL ENCOURAGEMENT.

NFFN EeENEHM AlEA>eNl NNNFH
 NOTTINGHAM. Jan 2S.-There nas been small encouragement for the cen tral powers in the proceedings of the British labor party. Tne leaders or the party show strong determination to support the war as the only means of obtaining a democratic peace and in this they appear to have the loyal support of a majority of the delegates.
 Each delegate has been given a cir cular entitled British LsbOr's War Aims which was a copy of the mes sage sent to Russia n the name Of the British labor a few days ago This message is the keynote of the whole present policy of the labor party. Its war aims show no very great diver gence from the statements by Presl dent Wilson. Premier Lloyd Georse and other allied statesmen
 The pacifist minority will make. strenuous efforts to win over the con ference during the discussion Of II resolutions dealing with the question Of peace but there Is no reason 10 be- lieve that the conference will go any distance with them.

GoVernnent's Answer

Governments rS answer
 The royal government as soon as it received the message of Your HOli- ness to the heads of the beIligerents. hastened 10 reply that il would study with the greatest deferenee the prOpO- sitiOns the document exposed in such elevating language,
 At the same time is desired partic- ulzrly to express its lively and pro found gratitude for the interest the Holy Father manifested in the Bel gian nation and of which the dOcu- ment was new and precious proof
 At the outset of his message the Holy Father took pains to declare he had forcedhimselftomain shrd had forced himself to maintain perfect impartiality toward all the beIliger- ents. which renders more significant the judgement of his holiness when he concluded in favor of the total evacuation of BeIgium and the re-es- tablishment of its full independence and also recognized the right of Bel gium for reparatiOn for damages and and the cost of the war
 Approve Pope's Stand
 Already in his conSiStorial ellOcu- ton of January g. 1915. the Holy Father had proclaimed before the world that he reproved injustice and he condescended to give the Belgian government the assurance that in for mQlating that reproduction il was the invasion of Belgium he had directly in view
 The honest people of all countries will rejoice with the Belgian govern ment that the injustice of which Bel g11m was the victim and the necessity for reparatiOn have been proclaimed and that the highest moral authority of ChristeudOm remains watchful amidst the passion and conflicts of men
 Tt was because of the gratitude felt on this account. which was augmented by the numerous charitable acts of the Holy Father in favor of so many Bel gians, victims os the violence of the enemy. that the royal government has examined into the possibility of con tributing in the measure depending upon il toward the raliZing of the dOu- ble desire which inspires the pOntifi- cial message to hasten the nd of the present war and render a return Of similar cstastrOphes impossible by the adoption of guarantees destined to as.

GERMANY'S VAST
ARMY OF BOYS

ARMY OF BOYS
Germany has permanently lost A.
900, 900, and has 5,5OO,0OO on the line
and behind the line in necessary SER
vices. Probably not more than g.
DOC, 900 to 3,5O0,OO0 at the most are
actually engaged in fighting or are
in immediate reserve. She has 6OO,-
600 men, mostly of the class of 1920
that is, of boys who are now only II
years old-and 600, 900 more men now
in the hospitals who some time in the
next six months will be returned to
duty. This total will be reduced be-
fore the beginning of next month by
the permanent losses incurred from
day to day. These losses will not be
less than 10000, and we may safely
figure that 300 900 men will thus be
eliminated befor the next campaign
opens. In other words the maximum
of possible reserve of Germany for
the 1918 campaign will be 800, 600
men, and of this number more than
half will be boys not more than Is
years of age, and 10000 more will
be boys of the class of 1919, who will
have reached only the age of 10 next
year. Three-fourths of the reserves

CHARGE BELTS A
MENACE TO HEALTH
New York Physicians Blame
Much Appendicitis and Sto-
mach Trouble to Belt.

New York-After examinging more
than 100000 drafted men, local ply
sicians have come to the conclusion
that a certain famous Rochester sur
geon was right when he condemned
the modern practice of wearing belts
The chief of one of the examining
board has summarized the opinions
arrived at by himself and his fellow
physicians.
"Until we were forced to examine
hundreds of thousands of men," he
said, II never took the question Sc
riously of whether it was better to
wear belt or ,suspenders. Now,
know that this is a very vital ques-
ton and the innocent belt is respon.
sible for many of the abdominal
troubles so prevalent in this country.
Caused by Belts.
"Sart at the beginning. Fifteen
years ago you hardly ever heard of
appendicitis. Fifteen years ago near
~ 80 per cent of American men wore
s~uspenders, thus leaving their abdo-
mems free and uncontrolled. Then
came the fad of wearing belts and
appendicitis operations became more
common. Before the advent of the
belt you seldom heard of stomach
troubles and when they did happen
they were usually the result of over
indulgence. Nowadays mor men are
wearing belts than wear suspenders
and it is almost the exception to find
a mar who has no troubles with his
abdominal regions.
Says %Suspenders Best.
There is no excuse for using a
belt to keep the trousd rs up ard
construct the stomach. 1t is almost
disloyal to wear belts since cloth
conservation, as demanded by the
government, calls for the elimina-
ton of cuffs about the ankles.
Smart men all know that the best
way to make cuffless trousers look
right is to hold them up with sus-
penders. They avoid the 'suspen-
dered look by wearing the under
the-shirt invisible kind, which work in
secret, as it were. Then everyone
knows that shoulders were given men
to carry weight from. There are
more than 20, 0OO,O 900 soldiers in the
field who carry practically all their
on various kinds of sus-
penders, even their cartridge belts
being suspended from their shoulders.
Statements Ring True.
"American men should drop the
belt. Suspenders will mean increased
efficiency, better health, longer lives,
and I expect to see them increase in
use. They were good enough for our
fathers and now we know the old
gentlemen weren't so foolish as we
thought"
Proof that this physicians state
ments ring true are afforded by the
number of New Workers
who ri forsaking belts and going
for better digestions and fewer
operations.

MILITARY SERVICE
IN AUSTRALIA

In Australia every boy between the
ages of IL and IS is compelled to un-
dergo military instruction along with
his other studies. When he reaches
the age of 10 the Australian youth is
a trained soldier and is then enrolled
for a period of eight years in the
battalion of the region in which he
lives. During the period of his en-
rollment the Australian soldier is at
all times liable for service in defense
of his country, but when there is no
call for such defensive service he is
required to devote only two weeks
each year to the practice of arms.

Everyone who receives one of these
letters should call on the secretary
and state their reasons for not TAX
ing more. They owe it to the Com
mittee to do this. They may have
good and sufficient reasons for not
buying more, and if so they should
inform the committee. If they do
not do this and ignore the matter it
leads to the presumption that they
do not want to do their duty and they
may find themselves placed in the
Stacker class. Better see the secre-
tary right away and if you have not
done your part, do it; if you have
done all possible you can explain it
satisfactorily. There is just one way
to do this thing. Buy all you can and
when you have done so 90 to the
Committee and tell them so. You can
prove your patriotism in this way
while to ignore the summons may
lead to false impression.

man unless he will do the things the
people want done, and we predict that
from now on this will be the method
of making campaigns. When every
candidate comes square out and tells
you what he will do if elected, then,
and then only, can you tell whom to
support. Perhaps it would be well
for Mr.. Tincher to make a statement
where he stands on these matters
also Mr.. Capper. Mr.. Thompson's
past record on all these questions is
public property and if one will take
the trouble to read the Congressional
Record they will be able to find that
he was for every one of them. Don't
grope in the dark. Find out what
the candidate stands for before vast
ing your ammunition.
