RUPTURES VEIN IN LEG; TAKEN
 TO HOSPITAL

Charles Hamilton, 30 years of age, a compositor employed by the Bridge port Times, and residing at the Hotel Howard, was removed to St. Vincent's S hospital shortly after 12 last night in a serious condition owing to the rup- ture of a. varicose vein.
 Friends in the hotel did their best trying to staunch the flow of blood with an emergency tourniquet made from towel, but without success un- til the arrival of the ambulance when the doctor placed tournfquet in po- sition which effectively stopped the profuse bleeding. The stricken man was removed to the hospital in a very weak condition owing to the great loss of blood.
 Hamilton's nearest relative is his sister, Lily Hamilton, who resides at 2 Creighton Road, London, England.
 Frankie Fleming, the featherweight boxing champion of Canada, has join ed the Royal Flying Corps.

to the United States will be in the form of credits and will involve on the whole bookkeeping of very large ex- tent.
 We have in the United States now in money gold little over $3,0OO,00O,0 1000. That is about $300,0OO,OOO more than we possessed a year ago, but there seems to be little or no chance that our stock of gold will be increased ex- cepting by the output of American mines in the year 1918.
 l The federal reserve board regards l it as of the utmost importance that our stores of gold be thoroughly mo- bilized, so that they can be made avail able as basis for credit, and for new issues of paper money. Some disposi- tion has been noticed in the past year on the part of some of the people to hoard gold, and some apprehension has prevailed lest, if the war be pro- longed, this disposition increase | The present-day situation in respect to gold is radically different from that which prevailed during the admins tration of Lyman J. Gage as secretary of the treasury under Presidents Me- Kinley and Roosevelt. The extraor- dinary and sudden change in our in Iternational trade conditions, following Mck,inley's inauguration, and the moral effect occasioned by the adop- tion of the single gold standard in the first year of his administration, caused a phenomenal flow of gold into the United States. This happened also at a time when the American mines | zf T and when the Alaska development be- gan. In the opinion of Secretary Gage it was the wiser part to force a large proportion of this gold into general circulation. He urged banks to pay geld out through the paying teller s window and in other ways, referring to the prevalence in England of the use of gold in denominations below five pounds for everyday purposes. But earnestly as Secretary Gage urg- ed and strenuously as he advised the distribution of gold among the people, he found it impossible to secure a large distribution.
 Almost everybody preferred paper money to gold, and it frequently hap Epened that when a paying teller pass ed gold through a window to a GUS toner who had offered his check, the customer declined to receive it, saying that he preferred paper, now that he
 knew that the paper of the United States was just as good as gold. The secretary was obliged to abandon the effort ard there followed gold certifi- cates in small denomination, the kind of paper money which is commonly called ''yellowbacks." Now in a little
 ever half a generation of time the Igovernment and the federal reserve TEanks are taking precisely the oppo-
 site sand from that which characteriz-
 ed Secretary Gage. For they are ask
 ing the banks to retain the gold in
 tteir vaults and tn pay out paper
 money in place of it. This action re-
 fleets not merely present day condi-
 tons, but contingencies which may
 arise in that very difficult period of
 financial readJustment which will be- |; gin immediately after the close of the , war.

IDOLATRY THE FUNDAMENTAL
 GERMAN EVIL
Lord Robert Cecil Says They Have Set Up a Craven Image
 For Themselves.

London, Jan. 18.-'HThe fundamen- taI evil of Germany today is idolatry," said Lord Robert Cecil in a statement fer the Associated Press today. "They have set up for themselves a graven image, just as truly as did the wor- shippers of Baal against whom the prophets of the Bible preached.
 "Germany's idol is the state. They place the state above religion, above morality, above all laws of God or Man. They believe that any act is Justified which advances the interests of the German state, however base that act may be, however immoral however inconsiderate of the lawful rights Of others.
 Otto Kahn, himself a German by origin, has defined this state-idolatry as the demoniacal obsession of pow or-worship and world dominion
 '"This idolatry is at the bottom of our whole fight against Germanq. T. is the secret of the whole revolting list of outrages and atrocities which Germany has committed against the civilized world. The violation of Bel gium, the Armenian atrocities, the unspeakable horrors of submarine warfare, all these are the outcome of a creed which holds that no laws of nc rality are binding when the de- fense of the state idol is at stake.
 'SFhe results of this violating of the foundations of morality by Germany are bound to be colossal and far reaching. They mean the degeneracy Of the whole German structure, and of oJ- wave of crime and immortality which i7 sweeping over Germany. So long as the governing classes are infected with this doctrine there is no limit to the wickedness and cruelty which will be put into execution. It means the undermining ultimately of the whole fabric of their civilization. This is what President Wilson has foreseen This is a reason for the determination o! President Wilson and the leaders ot the Allies on both sides of the wa ter to carry this war through, what ever the cost, in order that the world r ay be a fit world to live iH.
 '"The LansdoWne letter has been thought by some to indicate some weakening . of determination on the rart of this coluntry, some cnarge of attitude. I believe any such impress sion is a profound delusion. know it is a Gelusion as far as the actual gov- ernment of England is concerned, and believe that the British people as a whole, including Lord Lansdowne himself, are more determined than ever to bring the war to a victorious l conclusion.
 | q see that it is being alleged with a. certain degree of plausibility that there are many points in which Lord I.ansdowne is in agreement with President Wilson's message. That may be so. But in the case of the Presi- dents message there breathes through every hne not only determination to win-for in that there is no difference between the two men-but also cer- tainty of victory. President Wilson's message has an inspiration of leader ship which Lansdowne's letter lacks"

NAPOLEONIC: ERA THOUGHT TO BE THE END OF WARS
England 1Oa Years Ago Held Day of Thanksgiving for
 the End of Strife

''The last great war has been fought and the nations may now look for ward to uninterrupted peace"
 This was the hope and the belief proclaimed from many pulpits in Eng land 102 years ago today, Jan. IS, 1916, when Great Britain, by royal thanksgiving day, following the end of the Napoleonic wars.
 When the smoke of Waterloo roll ed back, it revealed continent given over to desolation. While England had suffered less than the other na- tions involved in the long and terrible struggle, she had by no means es- caped unscathed. For twenty years Great Britain had supplied the fin4h- cial silews of war for her allies, in addition to active participation in bat ties or land and sea.
 When the people were called upon to give thanks for peace, they were scarcely in a thankful mood. A na- tiona. debt of eight hundred million pounds neccessitated taxation so heavy as to cause general discontent 1OodstuffS so high in price that hun LII GUS O4 lllOue'lluS Ot ptOpIS anu HILLS ceased operations, and vast armies of workmen were thrown out of em- ployment which added to the gen eral distress.
 Besides the era of inventions was just then setting in, and the starving | several hundred thousand soldiers and sailors discharged by the gov ernnent, were bitter in their oppo- siticn to all labor saving devices. ] While the nations of continental | Europe relapsed in 1916 into the most savage and brutal political des- potisn, and all attempts to keep alive the spirit of revolution were ruthlessly crushed, Great Britain be- came increasingly radical Great labor meetings were held in the in- dusrial centers, and the workers had spohesmen in Parliament who grew more and more importunate. Cob bett's radical newspaper, the 'Two- Penny Register" for a time was more powerful than even The Times. Il was not until toward the close of 1S1t that the clouds of financial and in dusttial depDessions began to lift, and with increasing prosperity, the ex- treme radicals lost their influence.

New York. Jan. 1S.-There appear ed at the paying teller's window of one of the large trust institutions of New York, a customer whose balance Is ex- cellent and always well maintained. He placed before the paying teller a federal reserve note for twenty dol lars, and asked that it be exchanged for a twenty dollar gold piece. The teller declined to make the exchange, and the customer was at first aston ished and then indignant. He asked whether the federal reserve banks were refusing to redeem their notes in coin, and the reply was that the notes were as good as gold. He then asked why, if that was so, the trust company could not exchange a federal reserve note for a gold coin, and the reply was that the government at Washington and the federal reserve hank had requested all banks to re- 1rain as far as possible from paying out gold. How, then, was he to get the gold for which he had especial need? He was told that probably if he exchanged the federal reserve note for
 
 back, and presented that at the sub treasury for redemption in gold, and insisted that he receive the gold, he might secure it.
 The incident is here reported be- cause it affords a concrete ulustra- tion of the energy and care with which the banks of the United States are needing the request of the treasury department and the federal reserve banks. that they keep their gold, pay ing out paper money in exchange for drafts or checks.
 On Tuesday of last week, the na- ticnal banks of New York held their GI nual meetings. Whom those who took part in these proceedings were offered their fees, sometimes ten dol lars and sometimes twenty, they dis covered that not as always in the rast, was the fee in the form of gold coin, but instead was in paper money So far as can be learned, every na- ticnal bank in New York, and prob ably a majority, if not all of the cor porations which paid fees, for services last week, did so by offering federal reserve notes instead of gold. This is the first time in many years that this method of paying fees has been in tiis form.
 The federal reserve board at Wash irgton and the treasury department are anxious that there shall be no more distribution of gold than is ab soiutely necessary. That desire is partly due to the fact that we are now receiving no new gold from abroad All the fresh gold that is coming into the possession of the government rep resents the output of American mines
 There are several reason for the de- sire of the federal reserve board thai the gold now held in the United States as well as that which will be received within the next twelve months from American mines, be hoarded by the federal reserve banks or by the treas ury department One of these reasons is to be found in the certainty that hereafter we shall receive little or nc gold from foreign countries. Payment! which must be made by other nation.

ITALIANS CAUGHT
 BY GERMAN RUSE OF "KAMERADINC''

Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy, Thursday, Jan. 17-(By the Associated Press )-Italian troops have succeeded in breaking the pressure which the enemy has been exert1ng on the lower Piave in the sector near est Venice. This is a triangular sec tor originally cleared of the enemy when the whole region was inundat- ed by opening the canals. But re- gently low water has allowed the enc my to renew his incursions almost to Capo Sile and the Venetian la goons.
 Enemy patrols had established dugouts and posts in the lagoons at Agenzia Zuliana, just across the river from Capo Sile, which commands the canal running to Porto Grande and the region back of Venice. During the early days of the week the Italian navy had bombarded the dugouts and destroyed the bridge on which the enemy was attempting to cross at Agenzia Trizza. The enemy made repeated attempts to enlarge his po- sition but was uniformally repuls- ed.
 Sung by the repeated checks, the enemy brought his full force to bear yesterday morning. They were met by chosen Italian troops from the grenadier and the Bersaglieri bri- gades. The Italian defense was led by the Bersaglieri who had asked that privilege in order to answer scurril- ous pamphlets which had been thrown into the Italian lines
 The Bersaglieri hewed their way to the enemy's support line. The fight was stubborn for the first two hours, put the enemy gradually gave ground as fresh ranks of Bersaglieri, cheer ing and singing patriotic songs, threw themselves into the struggle. The enemy was finally pushed back from the positions he had gained.
 One of the favorite ruses used by the enemy was for a, party of his troops to advance with their hands up, ealing .eKameradr' When they would get close to the Italian lines thev vo11d rush forward suddenly with hand grenades, but to be moved do,,n as +bnv advanced by the Italian machine gun fire.
 The fighting throughout was at close quarters. Heavy losses were suffered by the enemy and the Italians cap tured 15O prisoners. The battle ground was covered with Austrian dead, and burial parties were busy | throughout the night
 Many individual instances of bray ery stand out In one case an 1tal- ian officer and five men leaped into an 1 Austrian trench, took two machine guns. killed all the Austrian gunners
