London, Oct. 19.-The "white man's
big war" has completely mystified the
natives of England's Pacific islands,
who for a generation have heard war
denounced as a sin by their white pro-
tectors. Moreover the fact that a war
could last more than a few days was
a puzzle to them. An interesting ac-
count of the attitude of the natives of
the Gilbert and Ellis islands is includ-
ed in the annual report of the colony.
It says:
"The missions had first preached the
sin of war later the British govern-
ment,. and the German rule of the
'neighboring Marshall group, had
sternlyrepressed any symptom of un-
rest, which is as natural to native
races as the growth from childhood to
manhood. That these two great white
races whose wisdom had caused wars
to cease should be visiting each oth-
er's islands and driving home the
spear made them more human and less
far removed as beings of a superior
order.
"Then it was rumored that native
races were being allowed to take their
place with British troops, and the
islands volunteered to a man. When
it was learned that their services
could not be accepted, but that they
might be permitted to contribute to-
wards war relief funds, they were
again profoundly surprised.
"Carefully it was explained that the
money' was not for the conduct of the
war, that money for this purpose was
raised, where necessary, by demand
and not by voluntary effort, but that
many men had to die, and that women
and children must continue to live not
wholly as a burden on the empire.
Once realized the reply was sponta-
neous. The natives of Ocean island
asked leave to give alltheir phosphate
royalty to patriotic funds, and were
with difficulty persuaded to limit their
gift to 1,000 pounds by the warning
of possible future droughts."

Havre, Oct. 19.-A physician of
Brussels who has succeeded in escap-
ing from Belgium, in telling of the
'sufferings in the Belgian capital re-
sulting from the German occupation,
said the Germans had systematically
taken all sugar and fat and the only
food containing albumen provided was
a ration of less than two pounds of
bacon monthly. Pork and beef, where
obtainable, cost 60 to 72 cents a pound.
There was also great adulteration
of what food was to be obtained, and
this was seriously affecting the pub-
lic health. It was quite a common
thing, he said, for individuals to lose
within a few months 25 to 35 pounds
in weight. In the city of Brussels the
birth rate, formerly two per day, had
dropped to two in ten days, while there
were 16 deaths daily.
The effects upon children were par-
ticularly serious, for, in spite of char-
itable efforts in providing extra meals
for them and sending some to Holland
to recuperate, rickets and tubercu-
losis were prevalent. These two dij-
cases alone showed an increase of
more than 40 per cent in the past two
years. Of 300 children examined by
the physician this year, half were suf-
fering from tubercular glands, and,
owing to the lowered vitality, epidem-
ics of measles, whooping-cough and
scarlet fever were more numerous and
deadly than ever.
This physician states that while
working at the St. Jean hospital, the
largest in Brussels, he treated hun-
dreds of deportees who had been sent
back from Germany. Most of them
came from Aost, Termonde, Ghent and
the neighborhood. The limbs of many
were badly bruised while others had
crushed hands and feet, the result of
the work they had been forced to do.
Most of those who came in during the
the winter suffered from severe frost-
bites necessitating in some cases am-
putation. About 30 of these had died
from exhaustion. Several patients
were admitted in a. Mate of coma
caused by starvation and half of those
treated in the dispensary were tuber-
culous.

Camp Custer, Oct. 19.-A big prob-
lem at Camp Custer was solved when
it was arranged to mess the 600 guests
of the Y. M. C. A. at the dedication
of the camp auditorium today in the
various company messes.
The visitors, arriving at Camp Cus-
ter, were anxious to eat with the boys.
They wanted to see just what "mess"
is. Headquarters was consulted.
"Anything- you can fix up with the,
mess sergeants will be all right to
us. We want to help," was the an-
swer.
Mess sergeants opened up to the vis-
itors, and so for mess tonight the Y.
M. C. A. guests, equipped with mess
tins, loaned by the quartermasters' de-
partment, are distributed among the
mess halls throughout camp.
