BELGIUH GAVE ALL
FOR CIVILIZATION
AN ENGLISH WRITER DEFINES
THE DUTY OF HIS COUTRY
"If Belgium starves, says John
Galsworthy, the English author, the
civilized world incurs a stain more
black than we dare to contemplate.
A little country gave itself for
civilization and civilization, having
the means, to save it, let it perish.
We are dealing here not with words
ideals and what not, we are dealing
with hunger—a very simple thing,
if people are not fed they will die.
No ultimate victorious, vindications,
and indemnities are of the least
use to Belgians, starving now. If
they are not kept alive—on the
shoulders of this country, the rich
est country and that which has
gained the most by Belgium’s suf
fering, the reproach will be the
heaviest. Verily it will.”
Mr. Galsworth’s words were ad
dressed to England, but as an in
! tegral part of the British Empire,
! Canada must take part of them to
} herself. Not a few Canadians have
! already realized their import and
! have been striving to do their part
in bearing Briton’s burden of car
ing for and feeding starving Bel
gium—the not long ago prosperous
little country, which sacrificed all
'or Britain and tor civilization. The
st> ry has been told too many times
for Canadians not to realize the
awful importance of it. A glance
into the offices of the Belgian be
lief Committee at 59 St. Peter St.,
Montreal, is sufficient to see that
something is being done, but at the
same time there is much more to
I be accomplished. The committee Is
sending its appeals broadcast over
Canada and its plea is only for
wheat to grind into flour to make
bread for starving women and child
ren.
Not one of us but would answer
the appeal were it made by an In
dividual at our door and yet how
much greater is the obligation now.
Here is a nation that saved us
from the oppressive hand of the
Teuton, saved women from outrage
and our children from physical tor
ture and yet we let them starve!
Canada w-ill not let it be said that
she did this when the opportunity
to feed them presents itself thus.
"No, Britain will not let Belgium
starve.” said Mr. Glasworthy. "We
have not known hitherto what was
needed of us in this race with
death. Now’ we do know’. We
are too proud by far not to pay our
debts. For this is a debt of hon
or, preceding even the charity that
begins at home.”
Pity, ungilded, feeds no starving
bodies.

ATROCITIES PERPETRATED UP
ON SERBIAN WOMEN
REPORTED
Major W. D. Sharpe, of Bramp
ton, who has lately returned from
active service with the Medical
Corps in Serbia, in speaking to a
large audience at the recruiting
rally held at the Star Theater, said
that a powerful French gunboat was
lying at either side of the Greec
ian harbor of Saloniki and British,
French, Italian and Russian men
of- war were in the harbor. He
gave a graphic description of the
terribl. brutalities practiced on the
women and children of Serbia by
Germans and Austrians. “They are
unspeakable and unprintable,” said
he. “All I can say is that, as a
medical man, I have been called to
attend unfortunate women who,
after eight months of terrible suf
fering, had not recovered from the
terrible atrocities and defilements
from which they had suffered."
Major Sharpe unhesitatingly blam
ed the officers of the German army
for many of these outrages, and
particularly singled out the Crown
Prince, whom he described as “the
young royal bounder of Europe.”
The bravery of the Serbs, Major
Sharpe declared, was something al
most beyond human. Mothers were
teaching their boys and girls that it
was "better to die beautiful than to
live in shame,” and many of the
girls destroyed their Teuton assault
ers with themselves. Major Sharpe
gave an instance of one Serbian
girl surrounded by Germans who
unexpectedly threw a grenade at
their feet, destroying herself and
three German officers. The motto
of every young Serbian was: “Be
a Serb,” which meant death before
dishonor or the country’s defeat.
“A little people like that will never
die,” was the Major's warm trib
ute.—Toronto Globe.

DIAMONDS FROM SUGAR
(Kansas City Star)
Although at first thought the
statement seems incredible, it is
per fectly true that a lump of sugar
may be converted into diamonds.
Not all the substance of the
sugar of course will enter in^o the
composition of the diamond, but only
the carbon that it contains. Sugar
consists of carbon united with ox
ygen and hydrogen. It is an easy
matter to separate out the carbon,
and in certain experiments for the
production of diamonds this sugar
carbon has been employed.
The diamonds so produced were,
of course, very small and destitute
of commercial value but still they
were real diamonds, and the chem
ical result achieved would be no
greater intrinsically if they were
as big as the Cullinan.
Sientists have often expressed
the hope that an improvement in
the process of manufacturing dia
monds may be affected whereby the
necessary molten iron may be dis
pensed with and the required com
bination of great pressure with
great heat may be brought about
by some such operation as squeez
ing the carbon between red hot
metal plates.

A LEADER IS FOUND
Mr. Tex- Alexander desires to
announce that the local Republicans
who are in favor of oragnizing a
Republican club, will find him ready
to start the ball a rolling while he
is in town. He says that this talk
of not having a Republican with
courage enougn to stand up and
start the organization, is all bosh
and to prove it, he is ready with
his dollar. Now let us see if those
who deplore the lack of a leader
cannot get together and "do some
thing" as Mr. Alexander said, "or
shut up.”
