Merry Christmas
DazeD BY HUN ATROCITIES
Emotional Faculties of Afflicted Del.
CLANS Probably Paralyzed by the
Horrors They Had Witnessed.

Mr. Brand Whitlock, former Ameri.
can minister to Belgium. has been
talking about the horror of Louvain in
the London Daily Telegraph:
81 was struck by the lack of pas
sion displayed by all those who had
so terribly suffered. I seldom heard
any of them express hatred of the
Germans or any desire for revenge.
"None of them. as far as could
learn or observe, even acted In the
tragic manner. There were no he
roles and no histrionics; they did
not even demean themselves as do peo-
pie in the cinema or the romantic nov
els.
SIN moments of great danger, or
great strain and tragedy. people are
simple and natural: they dc not act
I'm the theatrical sense of the word"
To say that play could be acted
without gesture or other expression
of what we feel is absurd. Nor
would. think, history support Mr..
Brand Whitlock's inference, whatever
may have been the story of unhappy
Belgium.
When Nine. du Barry died upon
the scaffold in Paris, her shrfoks de-
lighted the knitting women. The Due
de Guise ran wildly from his assas-
sins TO throw himself at the feet of
Henry of France. Pitt wept for his
country's misfortunes-the family OF
the Inflated Louis XVI did not cease
their lamentations all night when they
heard that he was TO be guillotined at
dawn.
The choler of Judge Jeffreys found
expression in the rawlings and rantings
of a mailman. Boabdil wept when he
was driven from Granada. Henry VIII
could swear like Observation-Disclosures
Howard shrieked at Hampton court,
and the superstitious hear her shrieks
to this day.
In my view, the unhappy Belgians
were dazed by the very horror of the
circumstance. The atrocities commit
ted by the Hun were too awful. Shall
ne wonder If the emotional faculties
we're paralyzed London Dispatch.

DANIELS WHIPS CADET
WHO Prosecuted HIM
Indignities Suffered As A Plebe
Believed Factor In Caus-
ing Resignation
MADE CADET FIGHT HIM

That the resignation of young
Daniels, son of the secretary of the
navy, from the Naval Academy had
some deep underlying motive in addi-
ton to the announced desire to en-
gage in the study OF medicine, has
been the expressed belief of many peo-
pie in Annapolis. That there is some
ground for this belief is evidenced by
information which has just come TO
light regarding Daniels treatment as
lower classman and it is believed by
many Annapolis people who know the
son of the secretary that this may have
been a strong contributing factor in
causing the resignation.
The story of Daniels trouble at the
academy and of the satisfaction" he
got after his resignation. as told by an
Annapolis man, is as follows:
''As plebe in the academy Daniels,
like many others, was subjected TO in
dignities imposed by first-class men,
and there was one in particular who
took delight in making things un-
pleasant for the son of the secretary
of the navy. The latter. according to
the ethics of the institution, was not in
position to resent the treatment
Immediately after he had severed
connection with the academy, and was
again in civilian attire. Daniels hunted
up his prosecutor, and when he met
him said in effect: You have seen fit
to humiIiate me in every possible way
since have been in the academy. Now,
d. you, we are on even terms and we
will fight it out right here
Thus challenged. there was nothing
left the first-class man but to accept
and a bruising battle followed.
1t ended in the first-class man being
so thoroughly whipped that his class
mates were obliged to carry him to his
quarters.
Young Daniels resigned from the
navy to study medicine"

WHAT'S CHRISTMAS
WITHOUT NICE BIG
ROASTED TURKEY?
EastpOrt HOliday0ke Family In POSI-
ton To Give Answer To
This Question

The family of Mr.. William Holiday
oke who reside on Fifth street, East
port, will not have turkey on their
menu for Christmas dinner, as pro-
vided for. unless Santa Claus brings
one in their stocking tonight
Mr.. Holidayoke had purchased a
fine fowl, which he had been fattening
up for Christmas and tenderly caring
for it in his poultry yard. Yesterday
the turkey was killed and dressed by
Mr.. Holidayoke himself and it gave
promise of providing the family good
meal. But it was a case of the old
story. man proposes and God dis
poses," for after dressing the fowl it
was hung out on the porch to keep un-
til cooking time tomorrow, when, 10,
it was stolen.
This morning there was no sign Of
the turkey on the porch. and some
other family is turkey in, while the
