Some Germans Voice Their
Objection to Mittel- Europa

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 6:-Dissension
is again rife in Germany over the age
long question of a Mittel- Europa with
the Prussian dynasty at its head.
The Cologne Gazette, although
holding extreme annexationist views,
holds up to contempt the need of a
union with Austria and the other Teu-
tonic allies. In a recen issue, 1t COM
ments on this plan as follows:
80 much is being published about
Central Europe (Mittel-E uropa) and
the necessity for an economic union
between Germany and Austria that
we are too apt to regard the whole
scheme as one meeting with general
approval.
'In reality no such unity of opinion
exists, as the interests of the two
countries are too divergent Our ex-
ports to Austria-Hungar represent
only ten per cent of our entire trade.
I'm German Industrial circles the
idea prevails hat too close a
'ciaH union with Austria would preju-
dice u chances in other markets"

Tell of Terrible
Plight Of Peoples

Pensacolians will learn today of the
terrible, unbelievable sufferings which
the war has brought to the Armenians
and Syrians. DR.. Clarence d. usher,
Kansas City physician, who spent TWEEN
ty years in Turkey as medical mis-
sionary, and was in charge OF the Rec
Cross hospital during the siege of Van
will deliver a lecture at the Garden
Theatre this afternoon which will vivid
ly portray the sufferings of the unfor-
tunate people OF Western Asia.
Reports regarding the atrocities, de-
portations and sufferings have been SC
terrible as almost to challenge belief.
Personal testimony OF many who
lived through the earlier period and In
formation furnished by American AM
bassadors, consuls, teachers, physi-
clans, missionaries and business men
who have recently returned from Tur-
key to America confirm the. statements
that:
At least 100000 Armenians and Sy-
rians In Turkey have persisted during
the past two years from massacre, de-
portation, exposure, starvation, disease
Over 100000 are now homeless and
in dire distress.
Thousands OF Greeks deported from
the sea coast OF Asia Minor are now I'D
danger of starvation.
100000 of those in need are orphans
Little children scarcely able to feed
themselves live absolutely alon in de-
serted homes.
1900 children under twelve years oil
age are starving in Syria and the Lee
Lebanon alone.

Gently We're dying at the rate Of 1000

for their relief.

Mr.. Brown says he made the change
from the conventional clothing OF a
man in his position to be square with

1T was one way I found of purohAs-

of the best cloth costs as much or
more than a Liberty Bond. I felt that

that / could do likewise and use the
difference in the cost of my clothing

for corn. Opening prices which
