So do very little things not worth spending
much time upon that should be dismissed from the
mind that it might be free for useful things. Some
one has said: "Never trouble yourself with trouble
until real trouble troubles you"
In old days in this and all cities shopping was
terrible task to many
It took so much time, and the shopper had to go
long distances to twenty places or more and walking
was almost preferable to riding in twO-hOrse
omnibus or driving streets paved with small
round cobblestones that made riding continual

came and made the people understand that they, the
people who had the money to spend to supply their
wants, were the whole thing.

They don't want to find themselves sitting beside

REMAINS OF TRENCHES STILL EVIDENT
ON BANKS OF USER RIVER IN BELGIUM

DIxMUDE, Belgium, Oct. IL
Lining the banks of the User river,
far as the eye can see, and the
trenches which for so many months
during the war were occupied by
the Belgian and German armies, the
Belgians on the south bank and the
Germans on the, north. They still
bear many marks OF shell and rifle
fire. and mouidy straw lying on the
damp floors still convey some idea
of the hardships to which the SOL
diers were subjected.
On the German side Of the river
is a dugout, built to resist the
heaviest projectiles, and cool even
on a hot day. II was a favorite
gathering spot for the Germans
when the fighting was fiercest, but
now serves the more useful purpose
of a refrigerator. Instead of the
hunks and chairs which once lined
its sides one now sees pile upon pile
of beer cases, filled with refresh
ments for the soldier guard at work
cleaning up the ground.
Behind the dugout, the bodies Of
three soldiers-two Belgians and
one German-were buried on the
bank of a tiny pond, made by burst
ing shells. Little crosses mark
the resting places and over them
peoples nod.
Along the User one may plainly
see the effects of the bard fought
struggle. Here and there the top
of a dugout has been crushed in,
and further along the ~duckboards
from an abandoned trench may be
seen sticking through the mud.

for many years occupied a high

world, was today an inmate of the

RED OUTRAGtS TO Be
COMPILED BY POLES
BOLSHEyIK ATROCITIES DURING
OCCUPATION OF MINSK TO
BE TOLD

WARSAW, Oct. 1S.-The Polish
government is compiling the story
of the atrocities committed under
the Bolshevik reign in the city of
Minsk, now occupied by the Poles.
The latest, brought by an American
Red Cross worker who has just re-
turned from a relief assignment in
that newly occupied city, concerns
the murder of a woman hospital as
sistant who was rash enough to ex-
press the hope that conditions would
improve when the town fell to the
Poles.
The director Of the hospital in
question, smarting under an ill-de-
served rebuke administered to him
by a surly official of the Red re-
gime, warned the latter that the
arrival Of the Poles would bring a
change for the better. For this he
was deported to Smolensk. His
woman assistant. who ventured a
little further in expressing her opin-
ion, was shot into O grave on the
dawn before the taking of the city
by the Polish army.
When visited by workers of the
American Red Cross commission to
Poland, the hospitals and orphan
ages Of the city we're found in such
pressing need of food that many OF
them had been obliged to close. One
home for war orphans had been
without SO much as a crust OF bread
for more than a week. Many others
had suffered similar privations. Ac-
cording to reports on Investigations,
only outside aid can escue these
people from the chaos of terror n
suffering in which they are cub
merged.
