SALVATION ARMY
CHRISTMAS KETTLES

Salvation Army pots were seen on
Pensacola streets yesterday for the
first time this season The army is
dependent entirely upon this method
for Christmas fund raising this year.
There will be no house to house So
Letting and no visiting of the business
houses for contributions, that having
been agreed when the big drive in the
interest of the building was made. The
army hopes to carry out it's usual pro-
gram, a dinner, a tree and some gifts,
and to have enough left over for the
care Of a few special cases that PEN
sacola people would scarcely believe
existed in their midst. New York is
known as the place of poverty and
slums. One man expressed himself to
Capt. Bergren. why captain we don't
need the Salvation Army here as they
need 1t in New York. We haven't
any slums and little real poverty"
The captain knows a different story
from actual experience among our
poor. No slum districts exist, it is
true, but poverty and sickness are to
be dealt with, and funds must be
brought.

London.-An official wireless dis

been withdrawn, the Dutch ambassa

drawn.
Several times recently there have
been reports that diplomatic relations
between Belgium and Holland were
strained as a result of the demands
of Belgium for a revision of the treaty
of 1899 between Belgium and Holland
under which Holland annexed the
southern bank of the Schledt river and
an elongated strip of Dutch Limburg,
tying between Belgium and Germany.
In return for these concessions, the
Belgians suggested that Holland re-
ceiVe compensation in the form Of GER
tain bits of Germany territory inhab-
tied by Dutch speaking population.
The allies were believed to be ia
sorably inclined toward the principle
of the free navigation of the Schledt.
