Clancy Tells of
 Post-War Europe
Met Bridgeport Boys In Antwerp and Saw Ruins
 of Late War
HORRORS OF
 SOVIET RUSSIA

Some interesting sidelights on present-day conditions in Soviet Rus sia and various other parts of the new Europe were given to Ilmes representative yesterday by John F. Clancy of 30 East Eaton street, who recently returned to his home here. MT. Clancy's service in the United States Navy has given him an oppor- tunity to visit many lands and he has used his keen powers of observation to advantage.
 At the outbreak of the war, MT. Clancy enlisted in the navy and was San Domingo. When the armistice was declared he was mustered out and passed into the naval reserve. Taking advantage of an opportunity U. s. armored cruiser Frederick, for merly the U. $. s. Maryland, the ship that took all the Olympic athletes from this country to Antwerp. Clancy among the crew of this ship, Sea- men Movement and Daly, both of whom had been in the navy during the war. Clancy made no comment | in regard to the complaints made by , some of the athletes of the treatment they received board the steam : CT from the Olympic committee. but ! he was high in his praises of the members of the Olympic team and it's ; prowess at the games.
 While the ship was at Antwerp, Clancy had an opportunity to visit several cities in Belgium and in each fact, he said, the people of Belgium are anxious individually and collec- lively to do everything they can to show their appreciation of what America did for them during the war. Burgomaster Justrind of Ant werp, invited him to dinner, an in, vitation which he accepted, and the Burgomaster afterwards insisted on
 
 him. The cathedral of Antwerp, MT. Clancy describes as building of wondrous beauty of design. He climbed to the tep of the cathedral view of the countryside, here and there dotted with signs of the havoc of war.
 He also visited the ruins of the fa- nous Cloth Hall of Ypres, and the t, Cathedral of Rheims across the French border, and said that even at this late day the horrors of the con flict around Ypres make the blood also Cardinal Merciers cathedral at ], Malines.
 While in Antwerp he met unexpect- edly two Bridgeport boys, "Bud' CFey and ''Wren" Cronan, who both asked to be remembered to all their | old pals here. Cronan is a son of Dr. s. F. Cronan and Carey is a son of John Carey, of McMahon &s Wren. bOLn pOyS came to AnIWeTp p as caOet US on one of the merchant steamers of the United States Shipping Board. , Both Carey and Cronan accompanied d Clancy on a trip to Brussels and en- i joyed themselves thoroughly in the 1 Belgian capital, now fast recovering from the ravages of war.
 While visiting the battlefield of Waterloo. Clancy met the Episcopal Bishop of Kansas, who kindly invited { him to go along with a guide the bishop had engaged to view from the ] top of a hill the points where the troops mobilized for the great battle that resulted in the eclipse of Napo- leon.
 MT. Clancy enjoyed the. distinction

of eating dinner at General Yelling ington's headquarters in Waterloo.
 Before leaving Belgium he witness ed the great victory of the American athletes at the Olympic games.
 The day before the Frederick was to return, orders were received for her to proceed to Libau, Russia, where the U.S.S. Pittsburgh had come in collision with an uncharted rock, causing 2 hole sixty.three feet by via the North Sea and the Kie1 Canal into the Baltic. MT. Clancy was member of the detail which assisted in taking the Pittsburgh off the rocks. The unusual feat was per- formed of patching the enormous
 hole with cement.
 Mr. Clancy. described conditions in Libau as frightfu1 beyond description.
 He said that garbage thrown off
 American ships is gobb1ed up raven
 verge of starvation. Early in the
 war Libau was pillaged b ythe Ger mans, who systematically stripped the town of everything of value. Mr.
 were in Libau, the people there con
 sidered themselves far better off than those compelled to eke out an exis- tence in the interior of Soviet Rus sia.
 While abroad MT. Clancy had an opportunity to visit several German cities, notably Cologne and Coblenz. He said at first when the Germans | looked him over they evidently sized l him up as an Englsihman and would not have anything to do with him. When an American flag he wore in his | bIttonhole was discovered, however, l a bottle of wine and a box of cigars | were brought forth and everyone
 seemed anxious to get in his good graces. An American soldier at | Ahrenbreitstein told him, however l that this friendliness for Americans was all on the surface for propagan- l da, that Americans are treated finely l in public, but they have to be care
 full when they happen to wander into
 unfrequented places, The soldier l cited as an instance the murder a few | days before of an American who had visited at a beer garden in an un- | frequented part of the town. After | indulging in a glass or two of beer | the American was followed into the | 1avatory by two Germans who sci
 upon him with pitchforks and killed | him.

Taxpayers Are
 Much Worried

Dublin, Nov. 5.-Taxpayers in Ire land are agitated over the question who is to pay for the damages result ing from reprisals committed by the "Black and Tans,' or semi-nilitary force, employed by the government Ito suppress Sim Fein disorders.
 The total amount of damages re- sulting from Sim F'ein disorders, and reprisals by orangemen and govern
 ment agents in Ireland, is estimated to be nearly 0,000,000. Already awards amounting to f5,0O0,0OO for damages inflicted by the Sim Fein- taxpayers.
 The law prescribe that the tax payer shall pay for all wil1fu1 dam age to property or life ma1iciously. conf1icted. The county judges whe pass upon claims arising from dam ages in Black and Tan reprisa1s have granted awards to the claimants and attempted to make them the charge against the local authorities. They have, however, indicated in their judgments that they believe the gov ernment should make good the losses caused by its own servants.
 The principal taxpayers in Ireland are for the most part Unionists who
 are the largest property holders and would be hardest hit if the taxpayers were compelled to pay these dam- age claims While they are anxious to help the government put down disorder, many disapprove of the i Black and Tan reprisa1s and are un-
 willing to pay for the consequences of them.
 The Irish Times, the principal l Unlonist newspaper, demands that l the government shall make clear public statement "that the obligatioo
 to compensate for murder, arson anu
 robbery committed by the servants o1
 the government is acknowledged b,
 the government and will be promptly 1 met The government paid the bill ol

A RAW, SORE THROAT
Eases Quickly When You
 Apply a Little Musterole.

And Mustero1e won't blister like the old-fashioned mustard plaster. Just spread it on with your fingers. It penetrates to the sore spot with a gentle jingle, loosens the congestion and draws out the soreness and pain.
 Musterole is a clean, white oint- ment made with oil of mustard. It is fine for quick relief from sore neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, congestion, p1eurisy, rheuma tism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joins, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, schilblains, frosted feet, colds on the chest. Nothing like Musterole for croupy children. Keep it handy for instant use.

HEALTH TALKS.
BY the County Health Officer
HEALTH TALKS.


Two cases Of typhoid fever have
been reported this month. These
cases had never had vaccine and
one Of the homes had no privy at
ali and the other an open back eur
face privy. The people who have
typhoid this year will be those
people who have not had typhoid
vaccine and have not built fly-proof
privies. 1t will be rather late after
one of the family comes down.
II was absolutely Unnecessary for
these two cases above mentioned to
have this dreadful disease. They
have been careless and indifferent
and are now paving in suffering and
loss of time when it means the loss
Of a crop besides the time of their
friends and doctor and drug bill.
Every boy in the army is given
vaccine; pit latrinet or privies that
are fIy-proof are used.
Every citizen of Monroe County
should take typhoid vaccine and
sanitate his home in order that ty-
phoid fever may be stamped out as
efTectually as in the army.
Those who have never had small
pox vaccine should take it and then
not be scared when your careless
neighbOr has the disease.
The County Health Offlcrr will
be in his office every FRIDAY in
Aberdeen to give typhoid vaccine.
FRIDAY il vaccine day in ABER<
DEEM.
SATURDAY il vaccine day in
AMORY. We had planned to be
at the hospital but that is too far out
for people from the country to
come. so we have arranged with
Mayor Grady to use the court room
Of the mayor'e office from 1870 to
4 p. VI. every Saturday.
Farmere are invited to bring their
families 10 Aberdeen and Amory on
these days and have this inocula-
ton free Of any cost The County
and State owes this TO you and you
owe it to yourself to come. We
have a fresh supply of vaccine on
hand which il handled properly.
The Health officer would be glad
to arrange to come to points of the
county remote from these centers
where enough people are interested
and Will notify us.
