MORRILL 32 South State St. (Over Baltimore bunch) its anything Photo- -aphic ask SWAIN 3 East University Ave Developing Finishing, Groups Flashlights, Campus Views 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." "Y" Workers Ness A t CfampGust er Equipped with Soup-Tins Guests Scatter Out Among Dough- Boys 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.
