your acquaintances who are afflict-
ed with the disease seems to be
getting gradually worse each year,
some of them regularly becoming
more and more under the influence
Of its disabling effects.
This is a message of hope for
every victim of Rheumatism. and
1t gives them directions for finally
freeing themselves of the disease
but 1t is also of Importance that it
be carefully needed by those who
are just beginning to feel the first
symptoms OF this common ailment.
We wish to impress upon them the
folly of disregarding the little pains
that come gradually stealing over
them, even though they are so
slight at first that they hardly at
tract their attention.
Our warning is against the COM
mon mistake that is made by al

A PRISONER
Georgetown Man Held in
Hun Camp After Fight
ing Enemy Planes.

Georgetown University officials
were notified yesterdy that another
graduate of that institution has regis
tered a war record and is now a pris-
oner at Camp Landschut. Germany.
He Is Ensign George Thomas kos.
United States navy aviation pilot, a
graduate of the class Of 1915, and for
four years one of the central figures
in the university's athletic life. In
the season Of 1s14-1s15 he was manager
Of the university football eleven. Roe
lived four years In Washington while
attending the university and is we'll
known in social circles. He entered
the service shortly after the United
States declared war on Germany.
A dispatch was received here on
June 4 by Navy Department officials
from Vice Admiral Sims saying that
Ensign Roe had made a forced land
ing eighteen miles from the Dutch
coast, due to his engine failing on a
long reconnaissance flight from the
British seaplane station, and that he
had probably been picked up by either
the enemy or the Dutch. Later ad-
vices definitely established the fact
that Ensign Roe is q prisoner in Ger
man hands.
Attacked by Hun Planes.
The Georgetown graduate was at
tackled by three enemy planes before
his engine went out of commission
and he was forced to make a hurried
landing. Taking a carrier pigeon
from the basket of his plane. Roe sent
this note to two eomrade machines
from which he had been separated:
On the water. attacked by three
Hunes."
This was the last Information re-
ceived from Roe until it was learned
that he was a prisoner In a German
camp. Ensign Roe was detailed last
January from the Naval Air Station
In Pensacola. Fla, to the naval avia-
ton forces in France. He was born
at Boston Aug. 10. 1898. His next kin
is his mother. Mrs. T. P. Roe, Of
Scituate, Mass.
