There was general surprise in this

the announcement recently was made
of the appointment of Earl Reading.

the United States. Never before i'll the

Made Huge Fortune.

II was at this stage Of his career that
he met Miss Edith Cohen. daughter OF a
Jewish merchant who had lately re-
moved from New York to London after
amassing a considerable fortune in this
country. She urged him to study law
and even helped him in his work, to
such purpose that in 1887, the year in
which they were married, he was called
to the bar by the Middle Temple. Ten
years later he had won his a C. and
was said to be receiving $4,000 for a
retaining fee and $1,000 for a days ap-
pearance in court. From that time for
ward his success has been rapid, and
since the world war came to show Eng
lishmen those of their rulers who pos
sessed genuine ability his progress has
been breathless in its showering of hon
ors. titles and distinctions Next to lis
raeli. he has gained the confidence of
Great Britain beyond any man of Jew

BELGIAN WAR CR|PPLES
!. HELP REBUILD COUNTRY
Prove to Be Asset Instead OF Bur-
den to Impoverished Gov
ernment.

Belgium is looking after. her own
war crippIes and doing it so inteli-
gently that they are an asset and not
a burden to their impoverished govern
ment and to themselves, according to
statement by the Red Cross Institute
for Crippled and Disabled Men of New
York city.
Armless and legless soldiers of the
little exiled kingdom are toiling cheer
fully in military hospitals. trade school
workshops and government factories
located in France. to help keep alive
the fame of nati9Ypal existence the
statement says.
At Port-villez. France. on hill over

Built Big Institution.
Within a few weeks where the forest
had stood was the Institut Militaire
Beige de Re Education Professionelle
des MutiIes. with a faculty of ortho-
pedic surgeons and trained teachers,
ready to begin business.
The frame buildings were portable
Others could be added at any time.
There are now over eighty barracks
and more than fifteen hundred war
cripples are being re-educated.
While these men are learning. eacn

skilled trades taught at Port-NilleZ.
they are at the same time equipping
the Belgian army with shoes, uniforms,
saddles. harness and other necessary
supplies. The farming and gardening
classes furnish most of the food re-
quired by the school.
Depends on Injury.
The choice of a new trade for the
wounded soldier depends first upon the
nature of his injury. The Belgian ex-
perience shows that machinists can be
made OF men who have had amputa-
tions either of the leg or arm. Many
one-armed men who were formerly in
occupations which trained the eye, are
now taught to be draughtsmen. A car
penter with the right kind of artificial
arm can use hammer and plane as sure
ly as a two-armed man. Shoemaking
and tailoring are taught those with leg
injuries. A soldier who has lost three
fingers can still be a clever locksmith
Telegraphers can learn to manage read
lily with one hand. A newly devised
pedal attachment for typewriter en-
ables a armed typist to operate the
space-bar and shift keys with his foot.
The Belgian war cripples are said by
the French to work with feverish
though cheerful industry. Some con-
tinue. after graduation from the school,
to work on soldiers pay for the Bel
gian government. Others step into bet
ter-paying positions in France. The
school staff keeps in touch with these
latter through the mayors Of the COM
munities in which they work.

the keen logic of his reasoning and his
tremendous mastery of facts.
AS a lawyer, he gained his principal re-
nown in the handling of cases in court.
He is regarded as the ablest cross exam
iner in England, although perhaps inferior
to a number of contemporaries in legal
learning and mastery of the abstruse
technicalities of precedent and interpre-
tation. His successful prosecution of

to constitute link which has held to-

party since the break which overthrow
the Asquith ministry and brought Lloyd
George into office. In the prevailing
shifting fiux of British opinion, with

Lloyd Georges ebullient temperament

AMERICAN WOMEN MUST
SHOULDER BURDEN
Food Must be Saved With DO Or
Die" Determination to Win War.

We can work for time on our
emotions, but it is only when we
are willing to face the facts in the
case that We can really shoulder the
burden at hand and carry it to the
finish.
Now the facts in the feeding of the
army we plan to send over to France
are these This army would eat 49,
100000 lbs. of beef a month, 81
$4,000 lbs. of bacon, 1875, 5,00Q
corned beef, corned beef, and sal
mon, 13,35O,O00 TBS. of flour, and
100000 lbs. OF sugar a month.
If we are gong to keep our soldi-
ers we are sending "over there" in
good health, we must somehow man
age to send them this much food a
month.
In addition to this, because our
fields have not yet been ravaged by
war, and because, too, We are able
TO keep a fair proportion of men on
our farms, the Allies look to us to
provide a great part of their food
supply. This means that millions
more tons of food must be drained
from our resources, if this war is go
ing to bring victory to us instead of
to Germany.
When we are willing to face these
facts, then we will begin in earnest
to save the food that is wanted for
these big shipments abroad. Until
then, we will economiZe one day
the day perhaps We read some pa
thetic story of hungry little French
children. But the next day we will
forget and go our old way with reck-
less disregard of the price this coun-
try and the Allies will pay for our
Selfishness.
But when we face the facts
Squarely then there is not an Ameri-
can woman who will not come for
ward and shoulder her part of this
great burden of saving food with the
same plucky determination Ito do or
die" that is sending thousands of our
boys today bravely into the trenches
in France.
And once We have steeled our
wills for the fight, the rest is easy.
Such are the wonderful resources of
this country, that for every kind of
food we are asked to save there are
two or more other foods that we
can substitute with no loss of nour
ishment or palatability.
Thus we have already found that
corn. oatmeal, rye and barley can be
substituted for great part of our
wheat, and for our meat, animal
fats, and sugar there are other ap-
petizing and nourishing substitutes
that can be used in part for them.
Substitutes for sugar include raj
sins, honey, maple syrup, corn syrup,
sorghum and molasses; for red
meats, fish, poultry, game, beans,
nuts; for animal fats, the various
vegetable oils.
