Sergt Frank Lanckton, orderly of Gen. John J. Pershing for the past ten years, has just sailed for France after having been temporarily de- tached from his chief to accompany Secretary Baker back to America. He was the constant attendant of the secretary of war throughout his tour abroad. The days he spent in Wash ington after Secretary Baker returned were restless ones for he was anxious to get back to his chief His devotion to Pershing after having been with him in the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, Japan, Mexico and Eu- rope, disproves the adage that mo man is a hero to his valet" Lanck- ton is a native of Cleveland. Ho says Paris Is cheerful about the outcome of the war.

FINE CHATEAU FOR BLIND
Art Dealer Rents Beauty Spot In BoIs
for HosnltaL.


The Chateau de Madrid, in the Bots
de Boulogne, for many years one of
the best and finest restaurants and
summer resorts of Paris, has through
the generosity of NJ. Jacques Selig-
man, the art dealer of Paris and New
York, and the suggestion Of George
Kessler, president of the British
French-Belgian permanent blind relief
war fund, been placed at the services
Of the blinded soldiers of the allied
armies. The $4,000 a year rent,
which NJ. Sellgman guarantees, will en-
title the fund to the use Of the whole
house, with its 100 rooms, and the
extensive gardens surrounding it. The
whole domain forms one of the most
beautiful spots In the Bots. The place
has been rented for three years and
will be opened in two weeks. M. Sc
ligman made II a condition that the
blinded American soldiers should also
be cared for ut the Chateau de Madrid.

Dogs And CATS ARE
EATEN IN BELGIUM
Former Almost a Luxury, Says
Prof. Carney of Louvain,
Now in Washington.

Prof. Albert J. Carney Of the Uni
versity of Louvain, now attached to
the Belgian legation In Washington,
said that dog meat is almost a luxury
in Belgium and that cats also are be-
ing slaughtered for the table. Old peo-
pie and children are dying in large
numbers, and tuberculosis is rapidly
spreading. Professor Carney says:
Coffee is very scarce In Belgium
and is not Obtainable under So a
pound Eggs sell at rs cents each. To
preserve, however, that kind of food,
so badly needed for the invalids, now
so numerous in Belgium, the works
of rescue provide a low-priced food for
the hens. Swiss cheese is obtainable
at SO a pound. Chocolate sells at 81 a
pound and cocoa at $3.50. Olive oil Is
SO a bottle.
This situation has melted to the
discovery of numerous substitutes. A
severe test has been applied to imita-
ton products and all that was harm
full has been pitilessly excluded. What
is more interesting to record is the
use of strawberry leaves instead Of
tobacco, of sirup instead of butter.
Moreover, all kinds of native fruits,
generally neglected, have now a mar
ket value. Dog roses bring 3 cents a
pound, wild hazel nuts cost 10 cents,
with prunes 2 cents. ~elderberries A
cents, etc. The Germans have regu-
lated the exploitation of acorns and
beechnuts, of which they send great
quantities to Germany In order to ex-
tract oil from them.
"They also have Communicated fat
cats in many places. Since a tax of
SO has been imposed by them upon
dogs, the number of those animals
which their owners have killed and
eaten is large. Dog meat is said to be
commonly used"

age life had never been accustomed
