CHILDREN OF
BELGIUM ARE
SAD ODJECTS
"
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 30. —
“When I think of my native Belgium
today I do not think so much of its
ruined cities, its wasted farms. I do
not even think so much of the grown
people, sad as their state is.
“I think of Belgium as the land
where children seldom smile, where
they die like flies from starvation and
disease.
“They haunt me—the hundreds of
little hungry ones who lokcd at me
as if to say: ‘Why are we made to
suffer so?”
The speaker was Father John B.
De Ville, a Belgian priest who got
out of the native land only about two
and u half months ago and has arriv
ed here as a personal representative
of Cardinal Mercier, the great nation
al Belgian hero.
On the strength of having become
an American citizen, Father De Ville
succeeded in getting out of Belgium
a trunk full of documents which would
have resulted in his death had the
Germans discovered them.
The Belgian priest is here to ask
aid for the Belgian children, espe
cially money to provide them with
milk, lfe says their condition is near
ly that of starvation.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. Harris ar
rived from the interior Wednesday
night on their way to Marigold, Cal.
They are registered at the Seward
hotel.
William Pendirh, resident of Ophir,
is registered at the Overland waiting
for the first steamer to the states,
where he will remain during the win
ter, returning north in the spring.
Mrs. H. M. Onyett, who reached
here on the Alaska last Saturday
night on her way to the Iditarod to
join her husband, is back at the Sex- j
ton. Mrs. Onyett received word that j
her husband was on his way over the ;
trail to the coast.

DANES TO EXPEL SPIES
AND HUNGRY GERMANS
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 28. — The
government has submitted a bill to
the Danish Parliament authorizing
the expulsion from Denmark of any
undesirable foreigner, even those re
siding in the country for more than
two years. The law is aimed at spies
and other objectionable persons, but
also may be invoked, following the
Norwegian precedent, to reduce alien
consumers of Denmark’s food
supplies.
I’D nither meet a vish’us
dawg than a grouchy
man. You c’n
muzzle the dawg.
Some smokin’ to
bacco needs muz
zlin’. But not
VELVET. It never
bites
VELVET, the Smoothest Smoking Tobacco, is biteless
because it is Kentucky Burley; de Luxe (the smoothest pipe
tobacco) mellowed by more than two years’ ageing.
