clashed with. Admiral Dewey. the
commander OF the American squadron
in the Philippines, is dead at Baden
Baden.
The friction between Admiral
Dewey and Admiral Won Diederichs
arose over the German officers dis
inclination to observe the rules of the
blockade established by the Amer-
can commander in Manila Bay In
a book published in 1914, three years
before his death, Admiral Dewey de-
scrtbed the final incident at Manila
Bay as follows:
When the Cormoran, which was
an Old offender. was sighted coming
up the bay, Flag Lieutenant Brumby
was sent to make sure that she
stopped to report, When the Cormo-
ran saw the McCuIloch approaching
she turned and steamed away. Brum-
by first hoisted the International sig.

then fired q shot across her bows,
which had the desired effect.

Appeals for White Mice.

He is just little thing, with snow
white hide and beady eyes, yet he is
destined to play most important
part in the world war. He" is the
white mouse.
Maj W. A. Shields, chief medical
officer at the central department
supply depot here, says that these
mice are needed in large numbers
now and that if there be those who
are in ouandry as to how best they
may serve their country, 1t would be
we'll for them to look into the white
mice industry.
White mice, Maj. Shields said, are
among the most important needs of
the army hospitals. Upon securing a
sufficient number of the tiny rodent
may depend the lives Of many hun
Grec American soldiers and sailors.
Pneumonia is the specter with
which the tiny mice are called upon
to do battle, and, according to the
medical supply officer, if the mice
can be had in sufficient numbers,
they can crush this grim plague of
the cantonments and trenches. They
can alleviate the suffering caused by
pneumonia by the sacrifice of their
lives for the manufacture of serum.
Through elaborate experiments it
has been discovered, according to
Major Shields, that pneumonia is of
several kinds, each being distinct
froln the other and requiring a diff
ferent serum. There is, however, but
one way in which to determine
which form Of the disease has at

is military nation. a powerful ma
ton, and she is not yet defeated.
America, however. has brought into the
conflict the additional resources neces-
sary to tip the balance in our favor,
and an allied victory is assured. The
outcome Of the war now hinges on the
question of numbers, and the super
iority rests with US.
Germany will fail in any offensive
which she may be preparing for on the
western front. The allies are ready for
any move and will present an unbreak-
able line. If the enemy is going to
stake everything on big attack and is
calling out every resource he can COM
mand, he will have reached the begin
ming Of the end when ne fails to break

allies can result in only one thing

time to put the finishing touches on
the victory but this will be accom-
plished.

BELGIUM GRATEFUL.
Will Erect Memorial to U. s. Friend
ship When Peace Comes.

Correspondence Associated Press
On the Belgian front, Feb. 8-General
A. de Ceuninck, the distinguished SOL
der and minister of war for Belgium,
today expressed to the correspondent
Of the Associated Press the firm con-
viction that a great offensive by the
Germans on the western front would
be the beginning of the end for the
Prussian military machine. This is
true said the general because even if
the enemy should put his entire
strength into an assault it was doomed
to certain failure in view Of allied pre-
parednees. Having defeated the Ger
mans in their onslaught, the allies
would be in a position, thru the balance
OF power which America had brought
them. to counter with irresistible
force.
The minister had been asked to dis
cuss the military situation as It ap-
peared in the light of Germanys pre-
sent position and the Prussian claim
| that the entente allies would be
brought to their knees. The General
received the correspondent in the chat
eau which il being used az executive
headquarters for the war department
and talked freely for half an hour OF
more. General d. Cesuinck is a veteran
Of many battles, and he had brought
with him TO tie ministry the compre-
hensive grasp Of large problems, the
quick decision and the discipline which
have made his reputation In the Bel
! gian army. One reads assurance and
alertness in his every word and move.
At the outset Of the conversation the
General spoke Of the close friendship
existing between Belgium and the
United States, and referred In the most
grateful terms 10 the assistance which
America has rendered her ally thru the
Red Cross, the commission for relief in
Belgium, and In other ways.
"The morale OF the hard pressed
Belgians has been sustained and in
creased by the knowledge that the
citizens Of the United States were
standing with them in the battle fol
| freedom and justice. You have
lightened our load and enabled us ia
continue the struggle" said the gen.
eral.
| He paused, and then added with
great feeling:
81 assure you that the first thine
Belgium will do after the conclusion
OF peace will be to erect monument
to her good friend.
