SAY GERMANS ROB BELGIANS
LONDON. Doc. 5.—The American relief committee
is advised by United States Minister Whitlock that food
sent from the United States for the relief of the Belgians
is taken by the Germans and used for their own purposes.
Large supplies have been sent to the aid of the Bel
gians not only by the Americans but by people of other
neutral countries and these supplies, it is declared, are
of the greatest benefit to the German army which is now
so far away from its chief bases of supplies in Germany.
Reports this afternoon from Asia Minor throw no
light on the movements of the Turkish armies and London
is still somewhat at sea as to what is to l»e expected. The
arrival of the Australian and New Zealand troops in
Egvpt has relieved the tension very much but it is still
feared that the British forces in Egypt are not strong
enough yet to meet the lurkish invasion it it is catried
out in great force. The censorship remains very strict.
The government after many protests has appointed a
special military correspondent at the front to send the
news daily about the lighting but even this does not give
full satisfaction. However, there is a general feeling that
everything is going favorably for the allied armies al
though the results are coining admittedly slowly.
AUSTRIANS HALTED
PARIS. Dec.The Austrian government officially
admits that the Austrian pursuit of the Servians has been
halted by powerful bodies of troops that are covering
the Servian retreat. The composition of these new forces
is doubtful but it is now generally believed that they are
composed of Russians who have managed to get into Ser
via by Roumania or some other route less likely. If the
Russians did really get into Servia and if they did pass
through Roumania it can mean nothing less than that
Roumania has entered the war or she would have opposed ■
the passage of the Russian troops.
ARMIES ORDER SLEIGHS
CHICAGO, Dec. •">.—Orders have been placed by
France and Germany with a South Bend firm for three
thousand sleighs for the transportation of army supplies
in the battle grounds of Europe. These orders are only a
small amount compared with other orders now coming
in from the belligerents but they are mentioned as illus
trating the sort of climate which the belligerents are now
engaged in.

PRINCE WAS
TWENTY THREE
CALLED WAR A PICNIC AND A
IH RSTING SHELL ENDED
HIS LIFE.
(By The Associated Press.)
LONDON, Dec. 3.—The lamented
Prince Maurice of Battenberg was
Queen Victoria’s youngest grandchild
and was such a great favorite with the
queen that he passed his first few
years of his life continuously in her
company.
Just a few days before the prince’s
untimely death he wrote to a member
of his family: “1 am having the time
of my life. Don’t bother about me. It
is like a picnic. 1 commandered a
chicken and cooked it with eggs. Tell
Mrs. - (the Princess’ cook) that it
was better than anything she ever
cooked.”
Prince Maurice was the youngest
son of Princess Henry of Battenberg
and a first cousin of King George. He
was leading his company of the King's
Royal Rifles at Ypres when a shrapnel
bullet from a bursting shell struck
him and ended his life almost instant
ly. Prince Maurice was twenty-three
years old and held the rank of lieuten
ant in the army. He was the only
Prince born in Balmoral Castle. In
fact no other prince has been born in
Scotland since 1600, when Charles 1
was born at Dunfermline.
Prince Leopold, Prince Alexander
and Prince Maurice, all three sons of
Prince Henry, entered the service at
the beginning of the war. Prince
Leopold was invalided home with a
bullet in his knee before the death of
his brother. The Queen of Spain is a
sister of the lamented prince.
