HEID DE BELGIAN
MISSION TELLS DF
RUINEDCOUNTRI
WASHINGTON, D. C-, June 22.—Bar
on Moncheur, head of the Belgian war
mission, today expressed to the Amer
ican people through the Washington
correspondents Belgium’s deep grati
tude for America’s "generous outpour
ing of material assistance and sym
pathy.” He paid an especial tribute to
Herbert C. Hoover, for his Belgian re
lief work.
“The purpose of our visit to thij
country,” said the baron, “is to ex
press to your government and people
the heartfelt gratitude of Belgium for
the generous outpouring of material
assistance and sympathy which have
gone so far to save my stricken coun-1
trymen, from the horrors of famine.
and to maintain their unshaken cour-.
age in this hour of trial.
"Our warm gratitude to you for this
help will never cool, but you are now
adding still more to our great debt
Our people, saved from famine, still
groan, under the yoke of a merciless
invader. Os all the people of the worll
none have ever had a more flaming love
of liberty than those of Belgium and
this makes their suffering the more
acute. Your entry into the war not
only brings to us the satisfaction of
finding in an old friend' a new ally
but fires us with complete confidence
in an early and victorious issue of the
great struggle which has brought tJ
my country so much of misery and
suffering.
“Our admiration for your decision in
entering the war is all the greater be
cause we know that you did so in full
knowledge of all its horrors and real
ized fully the sacrifices you will be
called upon to make, the fears that
will flow, the inevitable heart ache and
sorrow that will darken your homes.
This shows us as nothing else could
the determination of your country to
see that when peace comes it shall be
an honest peaoe, one that can last and
one that will bring freedom and hap
piness to all nations.
“In voicing my country’s gratitude I
am happy to be able to pay a tribute of
admiration and affection to Mr. Hoover,
under whose able and untiring direc
tion the great work of feeding Belg
ium was carried on. We now rejoice
for you that a man so eminently fit
ted by ability and experience should be
at your service in handling the great
food problems that confront you.
From being one of the foremost in
dustrial nations of the world, ranking
fourth among exporting countries. Bel
gium for the time being has been ruth
lessly wiped out. Her factories arc
closed. With /old calculation for the
min of the country the invader has
even removed the machinery from our
factories in an most cynical pro
gram of economic annihilation. And
worst of all, part of Belgium’s unof
tending laboring class has been torn
from their families and sent to toil in
Germany under a system that w’ould
have offended the moral sense of the
ir.iddle ages.
“But this is only a passing phase.
Belgium confidence and courage has
never wavered. On the day of deliver
ance sounds of industry will again be
heard. And on that final day of vic
tory the friendship of our two peoples,
purified in the fire of suffering, will
emerge greater and stronger than ever
and unite us in even stronger bonds
that shall, God willing, never be
broken.”

MUSIC STUDY CLUB
HELPS RED GRDSS
of the most liberal donations
yet made to the Red Cross fund was
that of the Music Study Club of Amer
icus, when it gave the last cent in the
treasury to the cause. >
A meeting of this'oranch of the
State Federation was held Thursday
at the Carnegie library and this decis
ion was reached at that time. This
money, amounting to SIOO.OO repre
sents hard work by this earnest org
. anization for a good many months past
, and was the fund which they were col
lecting, little by little, with which to
. purchase a piano for the use of the
'club. The members, however, feel
that there is no grander, no better use
to which this money could be put than
to give it to the uses of the Red Cross,
which they consider so much more
important at this time than any per
] sonal or club benefit that could be de-
I rived from it. They feel too that the
] knowledge that our boys at the front
will receive care, medical attention
and maybe be saved from death itself,
will more than repay them for the
self denial practiced by them in mak
ing this donation.
Don’t Hide Them With a Veil; Remove
Them With the Othine Prescription
This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by a prominent
physician and is usually so successful
in removing freckles and giving a clear
beautiful complexion that it is sold by
any druggist under guarantee to refund
the money if it fails.
Don’t hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re
move them. Even the first few appli
cations should show a wonderful im
provement, some of the lighter freckles
vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee,

STORY OF GERMAN
INTRIGUE IS SET
EDRTH OnOCIETI
WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 22
How German intrigue began and grew
in Russia is strikingly set forth in a
bulletin issued by the National Geo
graphic Society, based on a commun
ication to the society from Stanley
Washburn, the war correspondent who
is at the present time connected with
the American commission to Russia,
headed by Elihu Root. The bulletin
says:
"To understand the almost unsur
raountable handicaps under which
the Russians have been laboring, it is
necessary to appreciate the nature and
importance of the German influence in
Russia, which for the last few de
cades has become such a vital menace
tc the independence of the Russian
people.
“After the Franco-Prussian War,
when the new economic and indus
trial era began to develop in the
Teuton Empire, it was but natural
that the Germans should look to Rus
sla for their most important market. At
first this outlet for their trade was a
luxury to their economic development,
but as, to a greater and greater ex
tent, their trade became committed to
this vast territory it became more and
more of an economical necessity that
they retain and increase their grip on
Russia.
"The northern or Baltic provinces of
Russia are very largely populated by
persons of German blood who have for
many generations b»een Russian sub
jects. It is natural that these
in a measure, should feel aiw Jnder- i
stand German inspirations and aid and
abet in, their plans where possible.
“By this I do not mean to assert
that all Baltic Russians are pro-Ger
nian, for some of the ablest and most
loyal men and devoted troops have
come from this part of Russia; but it
i" true that many of the worst influ
ences have also been of Baltic prov
ince extraction. For ten years before
the war we can trace the German in
fluence through every specious chan
nel of intrigue and malevolent activ
ity to gain ascendency in the internal
politics of the Russian Government.
“There is little reason to doubt that
the German influence has aimed in
every way to check the growth of lib
eralism in Russia. There are many
who believe that but for the German
influence there would have come the
abolition of vodka five years before
the war. The elimination of this
curse would have meant education,
and with education inevitably must
have come the demand for more lib
eral government and a ministry re
sponsible to the Duma.
“Alone the Germans could not have
hoped to exert this influence, but we
find in Russia another group, com
monly known as bureauracy, who had
a community of interests with the
Teutons. The bureauracy represents
the office-holders and officials appoint
ed by the Throne, who have for gen
erations. and one might almost say
for centuries. preyed upon the re
sources of the Russian Empire.
“There has been during and before
the war a cooperation between these
two separate parties. the endurin'!
prestige of which depended on German
victory and Russian defeat. It is clear
that if Germany had been overwhelm
ingly defeated, both the pro-German
ard the bureaucrats would have los*
the hold they had on the Russian Em-
I l ire.
“It is probably true that none of
tt'ese dark forces had any great ap
prehension at the beginning of the
war that Germany could lose; for, be
ing well aware of Russia’s unprepar
edness, it seemed increditable that she
could triumph over her enemy—effic
ient, and ready for the war.”
and the transaction must be for cash.
