no sooner than any other troops, the
war department has ruled, according
to a letter received by Senator New
from Frederick P. Keppel, third assist
ant secretary of war. Many parents in
Indiana had written asking that their
sons be discharged Immediately, so
that they could start to college for
the winter term along with the other
students.
In his letter to Senator New Mr.
Keppel said he had taken up the mat
ter with Secretary Baker and that the
latter had sent him the following
memorandum on the matter:
II have thought as hard about this
as can, and am clear that if we were
to make favored class of the college
boys, by directing their preferential
rehabilitation, it would cause grave
criticism and dissatisfaction through
out the country. The progress of de-
mobilization is already rapid, the num-
Der per week being about 100000, and
it will increase so that before very
long we will have all of the men now
in camps in this country out. | think

AMERICAN FOOD
SAVED BELGIANS

WASHINGTON, Dec 3O-Four years
of German oppression brought no loss
of life from starvation to the popula-
tons Of Belgium and northern France
and the undernourishment resulting
from enemy occupation can be stamp
ed out If the United States continues
to send food.
That report from Herbert Hoover,
chairman of the commission for relief
in Belgium, based on a survey of the
occupied territories of western Europe,
was made public Saturday night at
the commissions headquarters here.
The survival of the peoples Of Bel
gium and northern France, while a
quarter of the popula tons of other
German-occupiedl lands died of famine,
was ascribed by Mr.. Hoover to the
work of the commission, which for
four years poured food across belliger-
ent lines sufficient to keep men, wo-
men and children above the margin
of starvation.
The gratitude Of these people to the
United States, Mr.. Hoover reported
SIS unbounded and embarrassing"
They no longer need or desire to get
food through charity, but, owing to
the systematic destruction of their
textile industries. they must still de-
pend to considerable extent on
America for clothing.
"The population is underclad." Mr.
Hoover said. land the one direction
in which the Belgians are in need Of
charita BILE help is in large clothing sup
plies to the commission on relief for
Belgium. There is no quantity of sec
ond-hand clothing that will not be
needed and that will not bring graft
tude in the heart of some individual
Belgian"
With the German evacuation, the
system of distribution of food and
clothing built up by the commission
during the four years became disor-
ga nized due to the breakdown in trans
port, Mr.. Hoover found. This break
ing down OF the rational control in
such commodities as meats, butter and
other necessary supplies resulted in
the whole of a very limited supply of
such foodstuffs gravitating toward the
wealthy through the rapid rise in
prices.
Though it is now possible, Mr..
Hoover found. to buy almost any kind
of food in Belgium. the prices preclude
the purchase, except by the wealthy.
Meat, according to the report, is 81
a pound. eggs 81 each and butter $3.50
a pound. These prices are in contrast
with an average income for more than
one-half the population of less than
"a week family. The food admin
istration established by the Belgian
government, the report added, is TAX
ing care of this situation as rapidly
as possible.

followed
Augustus Scott lived long life of fidelity to

Our friend was very careful of the interests of
his family, and tender and affectionate in his
for their welfare.
Not given to seeking the praise nor blame of
his fellowmen, but pursuing steadfastly what he
deemed to be just and right, in all mis- relations
with them; he merited and received much esteem,
and small censure from those who made his life
long contact
We feel that no finer thought abide with
those who remain when a loved one goes from us.

It IL. interesting to note In these
pictures the monument to the family
Waller in the Church Of IS. John and
Paul in Venice. It is luxurious work
made of different precious marbles
during the seventeenth century. The
three central statues represent the
two doges Of the family and of the
wife of one of them In pOmpous
clothes and exaggerated attitudes. A
large drapery forms the background Of
the scene and is carved in a precious
yellow marble inlaid with special pat
terms supported by cupids, while the
immense columns are in African mar
Bile.
The whole work shows the sumptu.
business of that period of the republic
which was at the summit of its glory
and richness, but had lost forever the
simplicity Of customs and the faith
and modesty which characterized the
past centuries. All this Is well repre-
scented by the monuments Mocenlgo
