"With all his alleged autocratic tendencies William has sought above everything the aggrandizement of Germany, her industrial and commercial supremacy, colonial expansion and primary among th great Powers.

He has extended the imperial Influence to Turkey and Asia Minor, and strengthened German interests In the Fax East and in Africa and South America. He holds the press to as strict account as he can; the army and navy, which he would make superior to ail others, he keeps In strong control but his attitude at present indicates no menace, rather a promise of protection to the cause of peace, which on more than one occasion he has doubtless aided in preserving. Herein his conduct has been less aggressive than his speeches in which he has addressed himself, through Germany, to the world. He Is admittedly a most remarkable figure among men and rulers of his time, and In his future career the whole world cannot but feel a profound and cordial interest. Here we have a good sketch of the Kaiser as the world knew him a number of years ago.

It is reprinted not because there is in it anything new to persons who took an interest In Weltpolitik" prior to the beginning of the conflict, but because It is docu mentary evidence amply disproving the contention that because of the war, and since its beginning, the Kaiser has been Liven by American observers a char acter whoHy out of keeping with his antecedents. Rarely have prophetic critics fotrecaac the development of character and the objective of a career more accurately than they have in the case of Wiihelm who was, eotme time ago, dubbed "War Lord." The Jackson Highway. The spirit of sectionalism -which has sometimes arrayed Louisville and Central Kentucky In opposition cannot be engendered by the effort to promote the Jackson Highway. Here is an occasion for united action. There should be spirit as well as unity.

It should be expressed in suit able representation at the convention of the Jackson Highway Association at Nashville September 23 and 24. The "State Pike" from Maysville to Louisville, which is to be the Ken tucky link of the highway from Buffalo, has long been an Improved road. Without great expense it may be made to meet every requirement as a part of the memorial highway. It traverses the section of Kentucky best known outside of the State and touches points of historic and current interest, including the horse breeding center and the State Capital. The traveler who crosses the Ohio at Maysville and comes to Louisville without vi3 iting other Kentucky counties than those upon the direct route will be exceptional, but even those who make no excursions off of the designated route will get more than a glimpse of the State.

The route from Chicago, the other northern terminal of the Jackson Highway, will enter Kentucky at Louisville and traverse- It to the Tennessee line through a section ren dered picturesque by varied and triking scenery, and over roads al ready improved or In course of im provement. As Louisville is the point of the convergence of the two north ern divisions of the highway this city has an especial interest in the project. but the mileage between Maysville and the Tennessee line via Louisville is such that a large proportion of the State would receive immediate and practical benefits from the im provement contemplated. The commercial bodies of Louis ville should, and doubtless will, re spond heartily to the call of the offi cers of the temporary organization, P. L.

Atherton and Dr. It. R. Elmore. for representation at Nashville.

Emory G. Dent, of Bowling Green, and E. L. Qunrles, of Lexington, vice presi dents, should see to it that their sections are heard from. The proper improvement and main tenance of the route selected must be guaranteed by delegates, upon suf ficient authority.

When the Jackson Highway is formally opened to through traffic it will be a good motor road from terminal to terminal. The importance and ever growing usefulness of good roads covering long distances need not be dwelt upon. Old Kick has been Gent to tho Cau casus. Young Nick has assumed com mand on tho western front. The Rus sian slogan now will bo: Tho devil take the hindmost; Count Okuma resigns, rescinds his resignation, resigns, reconsiders.

manager. MONDAY SEPTKMBER 20, 1915 "Business." Saturday Evening, Sept. IS. All dependable barometers indicate that the rising tide of prosperity is gaining momentum. Bank clearings are increasing week by week; railway traillc and earnings now are running ahead of the corresponding period last year, and expanding at a gratify in rate; the number of idle cars is dwindling and it is probable there wiil be a shortage hefon: December 1 the iron and steel industry is running at full capacity, with prices steadily rising, and orders being booked subject to delay; and the improvement, which set in llrst in the Eiist.

is spreading" t0 au parts of the country, reports from the South of late noting substantial progress. Coniidence in the future Is reflected by the stock market. Abnormally high temperatures oer most of the country this 'week checked retail distribution to some extent, but this was outweighed by the benefit done to late crop. particularly corn. Owing to the demoralized state of foreign exchange, there was to be noted a sition in some quarters to proceed cautiously pending the outcome of the Anglo-French negotiations for a huge loan.

Best opinion seems to bo that the loan will be made and that there will be no check to the exports of war munitions and foodstuffs. After backing and rilling during the first part of this week, the New York stock market became strong and active, and closed with gains of fractions to mure than 3 points and very large gains for a number of specialties, notably Bethlehem Steel, General Motors, Colorado Fuel lion and Studebaker. Railway stocks came in for a larger share tf attention than for several months. The cb aring of the international political situation, particularly as it pertained to Germany's Bubii'arine policy, progress of the foreign lean negotiations, crop progress and gb.wing trade news were the chief bullish factors. Money conditions are all that could be desired.

The tendency still ia toward greater abundanct. despite expanding1 trade and the ndvarce of the crop-moving period. Several Federal Reserve banks were this week authorized to reduce their discount rates and rates at leading centers, notably New York, displayed an easy tendency. An acute situation in the spot article growing out of the abnormally wet weather all summer in the winter wheat belt, which ha3 delayed threshing, and the disposition of growers to hold for better prices, resulted in a further advance in the September wheat option on the Board of Trade this week, the net sain being 2 cents. Movement to pTimary markets has been only about 60 per cent, of last year and cash premiums have been very high.

On the other hand, the deferred options declined 2 to 2 cents on the fear that it would be difllcult to find an outlet for the enormous surplus. Exports are running far below last year, and while it is known that importing' countries need our surplus, their ability to arrange payments is in question. The outcome of the Anglo-French commission's mission means much to the wheat grower. Corn and oats ruled easy, being affected by the same factors governing wheat. Cotton soared to new high levels for the crop this week and although reacting closed about $2 a bale higher than a week ago.

Bullish trade reports, indications that importing countries were buying liberally, proffer of banking support to holders, and the growing belief that the exchange situation would be righted so that exports could be made were among the principal factors. Louisville trade conditions experienced marked improvement this week. Money conditions, if anything, grew more comfortable. Securities displayed a better undertone. Arthur B.

Krock, who for the past five years has been the Washington correspondent of the Courier-Journal and Tho Louisville Times, has been appointed managing editor of tho two papers, and takes tip those duties today. For Practical Ends. There will be extremists to pooh-pooh the valu of any Informal conversations with Germany In regard to the conduct of her submarine warfare, such Is those reported to have begun in Ber i between Von Jagow and Ambassa-ar Gerard. But sane and earnest men 111 not be so swift to discard the expedient. There were those at the out-eet especially after the Lusltania who' would not have treated with Germany at all.

but would have adopted extreme measures at once. vf "icno I forced to admit, now, that the United Btates-has gone far toward establishing her contentions. She is by way of accomplishing tho end in view the safety of innocent vessels and their human cargo where more summary action, however much deserved on Germany's part, would have left that end defeated After an, It Is a practical questlor Ad is results that we want. We justify the means In the largest way. The nature of the issue now suspend ed between the two Governments lends itself to informal discussion.

It reduces to the question of determining the jus titration of a submarine commander's belief that he is the actual or intended object of attack by a passenger steamer. To state the question thus plainly is sufficient to indicate the difficulties of settling it through formal "notes, unaided by a freer and more discursive discussion. In estimating the value of each expedient suggested, it Is well to remember always the changed temper of Germany as indicated in her latest instructions to her submarine com nmnders and in her assurances handed to this Government through her Am bassador. To proceed in any other fashion is to take no account of vic tories already won and others of most proximate promise. It is this consider.

ation that should move us to regard the reported informal conversations with degree of patience, rather than to scorn them on a blind assumption of fu tility. Doddering Dumba. The Austrian Ambassador's letter to Secretary Lansing, given to the press by the Ambassador, is just the sort of performance that might ba expected of one guilty of the Austrian Ambassa dor's offense. The man who could at tempt, under cloak of his office, to inter fere with American industries, to fo ment strikes in American factories and actually to propose to a department ot the American Government that it as sist to other employment workingmen whom he might thus frighten out of their jobs, is the man who could fol low his fatuous audacity with this ad ditioual insolence. It is evident that the one mistake Washington made In dealing with him was that it did not peremptorily hand him his conge in stead of asking his Government to re call him.

His letter to Secretary Lansing is a stupid effort to defend a criminal programme. "Caught with t'n goods" he makes a puerile attempt to convict America of censorship of Teu tonic diplomats and connivance at prl vate communications between the diplo matic representatives of the Allies and their Governments. It is as if a pickpocket from whom a stolen wallet had just been taken were to arraign the police for not searching everyone passing through the street After the exposure of tho text of the Dumba letter found on Arch ibald nothing was left to ex plain. His statement of his intention prosecute a lawless campaign against the industries and against peace and prosperity, if not against life, in a neu ral country was explicit. Tlie "War Lord." it not true," queries a reader of the Courier-Journal, "that the term 'War Lord." applied to the Kaiser, Is merely a translation of the German equivalent of 'War which means nothing more than Commander- in-Chief, a title which applies to Presi dent Wilson as well as to the Emperor of Germany because the President is, by virtue of his otiice, commander-in- chief of the military and naval forces of the United States.

Isn't 'War in the sense in which it has been used since the beginning of the European war. mere perversion to suit the ends of thoe who are trying to lay upon Wiihelm II. the blame for the In auguratlon of war?" This is by no means true. Tho Kaiser's publicity staff in the United States has more than once passed out for publication matter designed to fool the ignorant reader upon this point The assumption upon which such publicity work has been done is that no body reads anything but to-day's paper. an more complimentary to the press than to its readers, and characteristic of the Imperial Publicity Bureau, which has relied upon volume of matter rather than upon as sertions fit to stand the test of In vestigation.

For refutation of the contention that anti-German writers dubbed the Kaiser the "War Lord" after last August it is nece.iary to do nothing more than turn to the nearest reference book which includes biographies of notables. in an edition of the "Encyclopedia Americana" published several years ago occurs the following: Statecraft he has learned In the school of Bismarck, and his political and personal Ideals were imbued with veneration for his grandfather, whose conviction of divine right he embodied in his own view of the Imperial office. His personal aggressiveness and military methods had given rise to popular fear of indiscretions whereby he might en danger the peace of Germany, aod of the world, but from the first he has vigorously repelled those suspicions of his motives which have led to his designation as the 'War and against which bis conduct in the main hasfihus far been a vindication. Upon his accession he at once asserted his ideas of personal rulership. which he has main tained in theory, and in practice hasre laxed only submission to demands tf policy.

When Moltkc died the Emperor declared he had lost an army, but when he quarreled with Bismarck ho showed no misgivings at the loss of a masterful Chancellor, and reputed creator cf the Kmpire, whose retirement he virtually compelled In lfiT-O. Indeed by the act cleverly characterized by his critics as 'dropping the pilot he made himself more distinctly master of the ship of State. Since then his able Chancellors have been compliant tn the imperial will. William has measured his strength against oil liberalizing parties, and his early solicitude for the laboring classes has latterly seemed lost in his bitter antagonism to socialistic elements.

It will be there again to-fay As the lithographs, displayed in thl lobby of the Novelty, lead you to sa.

The acting by Bruce McRaa and Gail Kane and a very largo supporting cast goes a great way towards photoplay a ripper. Goodwin In Crane Role.

Years ago at Macanley's, ten of them, to be exact, William H. Crane, previously regarded as a jovial comedian, appeared in an odd drama of drab lives and gold idols called "Business Is Business," in which he sounded a seri ous note wtih complete success. Yesterday the Alamo exhibited a fBni made from this rlay, which was originally taken from the French of Octave Mlrabeau, and Nat Goodwin, famed in many ways, and for many thing, had the role created in the drama. "Business Is Business" in play form is pretty much of a monologue in whfch the austere character of Lechat is tha overtowcring force of the play's movement. In the film you naturally sea many more characters and many mora scenes than you did in the play, bnt the chief character, the consdeneeijss man of businese, who bows down and, worships the golden image, is jttjt a3 prominent.

Mr. Goodwin in panto-mime gets very good results hy sound technique, which is as different as it Is more difficult than the vast technical difficulty experienced by sir Crane. You cannot hear the. al grunt, the hard, empty laugh which you will remember from Mr. Crane of course, but you feel that you can hear, as all these in combination with Jesture and a certain look from the eve are expressed oonvincinglv by Mr! Goodwin on tha screen.

"Business Is Business" will be the attraction at the Alamo until Wednesday, when Walker Whiteside will ba seen on the screen in "The Melting Pot, In which he has played upon the stage successfully, but In which he ha3 never appeared here. "Record-Breakers" Break Record. Jack Held, who, the programme tells us, owns and presents ins own company, "The Record Breakers," this week at the Buckingham, certainly believes In the pulchritude of his chorus. You are led to bt-lieve r'ntj during the seventh number in the first act, when, to a tune called "you Haven't Got a Thing on Me, September Morn," the chorus is paraded be- tore a curtain representing tha selling picture, in replica of tho lifrare the nainiinsr. mn views nf this chorus, in which the full stage is utilized, the audience vester-day afternoon had enough, and it went out lor air during an intermission which followed an opening burlesque which offoirs nothing newer than this chorus of which you have been told.

In the following burletta, which is brighter and has many very good gags which you will no doubt bo hearing in vaudeville, you are thoroughly cjn-vlnced that Jack Reid is immensely please.d with his chorus. In the sec ond half of the entertainment the girls appear in a similar costume to the September Morn one, backing up Lillian Lippman, who sings "Everyone I Know Loves You," in which the girls go through the audience pinning a rose on lapels hero and there. Not having enough roses to go around, for the number was liked, the girls distributed kisses upon bald heads and resistless Hps. What would a burlesque show be without an audience taking part? Mr. Reid uses the audience in "Play Ball" also, a conven tional number in which the girls throw balls Into the audience, which are returned, even until the last curtain.

There is another undressed chorus at the close of the show singing ter. Mr. Reid appears to better advantage in the second half of the performance than he does in the first, for he is a very poor German comedian, but an adequate "dope fiend." His chatter is entertaining, though silly, and his makeup true to the character. Nat Young, who will do better with the rele of the Hebrew when hi has had more experience, deserves credit for much of the brightness in the book of the concluding burletta, called "The Underworld." IMPERIAL BALLET RUSSE IS COMING TO AMERICA Now York, Sept. 19.

ELHA5I GRENVILLB WODB- HOUSE, author, who In several mairazines has furnished the reader with an original strain of dialogue, usually emitting from a British er, which has made one suspect that he was English, furnishes the real blood-stirring "punch at the finish" playlet on a bill of randeville at B.

F. Keith's thi3 week, which makes you sit up and take notice from the opening number to motion pictures. Possibly Tom Barry, who got his inspiration from Mr. Wodehoiusc's story. "Brother Fans," which appeared in McClure's some time aeo.

put in the punches. To one who confesses, and regrets, that he never read this particular story, but who is acquainted witb numerous Wodehouse yarns, tills appears to be tho way it came about, for "Brother Fans." In wWch Tom Lewis, late of George M. Cohan comedies, and four men headline the bill this week, is thoroughly American. The title leaves nothing to the Imagination. Three Ameri cans meet at Chelsea Field one day when the Giants played the White Sox before King George V.

Tbcy do not know one another, but they get so friendly at the game that they meet at the Savoy, after tho game, for a quiet little supper, which the host (Mr. Lrfjwls) wants kept from his wife. Oue Tom Lewis, who is so much a that it's killing. To create atmosphere he has a phonograph in the dining-room with all the noises heard at the ball park on record. To make a long story short tho newspaper man discovers in "Johnison" the embezzler who came from Algiers Just to see the game, and notifies Scotland Yard.

Mr. Lewis, because of their congeniality, easily bluffs the detective, and the newspaper man Iflses his "scoop" becauso baseball, like blond, is thicker than water. The only suggestion of Mr. Wodehouse in the playlot, judging by other stories, is the introduction of the Britisher for a short time at the onset, and this Englishman never says any thing that would lead you to believe that Mr. Wodehouse had even a finger in the pie.

So much to the credit of Mr. Barry, who has written a corking good vehicle for Mr. Lewis, who was called before the curtain last night to talk some more. Audiences like to hear him talk, and they always will. He is ono of our most amusing comedians.

The playlet is particularly well set. The scene is a private dming-room. it looks It. Following "Flrother Fans" comes Belle Ba.ker. Now everybody knows Miss Baker.

Sho's just as jolly and fat and accommodating as of yore. She sings ragtime in all nf its branches, from negro songs to Yiddish rags, including her old hit, "Put It On, Take It Off." Frances Cameron, remembered as the first "Merry Widow" who came here, with Walter Lawrence eives fr the greater part of the time sei'-ctiens from popular operas. It is a pleitsun-to hear Miss Cameron sing "Velia" again. Miss Cameron in an artist from her head to her tues, and while you appreciate hearing and seeing her in vaudeville, you can't help but wonder why she is not now in opera. Mr.

Lawrence and Miss Cameron have a very entertaining act, but there are parts of their dialogue which, though not offensive, are hardly in good taste. At Miss Cameron does not have to resort to risque chatter to gain attention. Neither does Mr. Lawrence, for that matter. Angio Weimers and Walter.

Burke open the bill this week with "The Dancing Teacher," which is thoughtfully conceived and well executed. Henry G. Rudolph, whoso voice is very pleasant, sings a series of selections pleasing to vaudeville patrons. O'Brien Havel, who used to come in a trio, has a new sketch called "Ticks and Clicks," in which he accomplishes, with a pretty young woman, what ho used to achieve with a young woman and a young man. Mr.

Havel is very, very funny. Parillo and Fravito, also well known to you, sing and play. The popular animals exhibited by the Howards complete tho acts on the bill. Comedy motion pictures bring down the final curtain. Nansen As "la Tosca." The Mary Anderson is offering until Thursday a Fox production of "La Tosca." which has been modernized for the use of Betty Nansen and a very talented company, which includes Arthur Hoops as the villain and Dorothy Bernard in the role of the maid, a small part, but one which is wholly pathetic and which Miss Bernard makes you feel to be a living and breathing prey to the merciless craftiness of the tlend who drives La Tosca to kill him when two women he had wronged were apparently willing to do it.

It was Miss Bernard who gave such an interesting portrayal of the wife in "Dr. Rameau." It is said that she will shortly appear as the leading player in a new Fox release. "La Tosca," for the picture, is called "The Song of Hate." It is excellently handled in six reels, all dono in that artistic manner characteristic of Mr. Fox and his associates. The settings are rich and the scenario dramatically outlined.

The story of "La Tosca" is too well known to be repeated. Every character plays an important part in tho life of tho man who loved La Tosca in the only manner in which ho knew how to love. With "The Song of Hate" the Mary Anderson includes "His Phantom Rival," a split-reel comedy, in which Anita Stewart and Earle Williams appear. The comedy, by the way, was written by Earle Williams. Williams has a keen sense of humor and his little comedy Is very cleverly arranged.

On this reel nn industrial picture proves of educational value. Beginning Thursday the Mary Anderson will havo Robert Edeson in "Mortmain." Mrs. Campbell Feels the War. Mrs. Pat Campbell, who comes to Ma.

Cornwallls West, Lord Lieutenant of Denbigshixe, Belgians and Belgian Institutions. "The response of tho American, British and other people to the plea on be-half of the Belgians has been without parallel in international philan thropy amounting to-day to neany 51o.000.000 in cash, food and clothing.

"The growing and gloomy problem is ono 01 unemployment, for month by month a larger proportion of the indus trial mass of over 3,500,000 people falls further and further into destitution. "Generous as the resources placed at the commission's disposal are, they are pitifully small when spread over the number who are now wholly dependent or who are becoming dependent with increasing frequency. It will appear irom this report that the commission is transmitting $5,000,000 a month from the outside world for the destitute, yet this sum divided over those now unemployed and destitute would average less than five cents per day. It is evident that the commission's work has been only supplemental to individual resources, and these can obviously but niminisn throughout the period of the war unless something can be done to at least overcome the industrial stagnation." In addition to the Belgian people, the commission also supplies the French population within the German occupied territory, which number about The cost of supporting these people amounts to about $1,000,000 a month, and Is accomplished entirely without recourse to charity by financial arrangements which the commission has instituted whereby the towns in the occupied zone secure loans from the banks of Paris. FRESHMEN SHAVE OWN HEADS IN INDIGNATION Faculty of State University Forbade That Form of Hazing Newcomers.

Lexington, Sept. 19. (Special.) Obedient to tho faculty's order, classing shaving the freshmen's heads as hazing, with penalty of expulsion, the upper classmen ot the 'State University have strictly refrained this term from their time-honored custom, but the "Freshies" themselves now express their disgust at the new rule. At a meeting of the Freshmen yesterday resolutions were adopted deploring the lack of spirit shown by tho upper classmen and recommending that in the absence of tile observance of tho traditional custom the Freshmen have their own heads shaved, so that there should be no visible evidence at least of deeadenco from former years. As a result, a large number af head-shaven Freshmen were on the streets to-day.

and it was given out that nil who failed to sbow shining polls in the near future should be forcibly sheared by their own classmen. The faculty's order was based on the idea that the-Freshmen wore mistreated by the Indignity, but to the chagrin of the professors the Freshmen resent the Interference. LEAGUE NAMES OCT. 9 FIRE PREVENTION DAY New York, 19. The Safety First Federation of America announced to-day that Saturday.

October 9, the anniversary of the Chicago fire, had been designated as National Firo Pro. vcntlon day, with plans for a general observance in many cities throughout the country. Tho Governor of each State has loen requested by the organization to issue a proclamation asking the public to co-upi rato in the movement. A statement issued by the federation urgOK that on thf 'day all rubbish be removed from public buildings and that a careful inspection be made of heating, lighting and fire extinguishing apparatus.

Over Half of Amount Furnished By Belgians.

Number of Destitute Reaches 2,750,000. BACKING OP AMERICA London, Sept. 19. The first complete report of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, covering the first eight months eff its existence, reveals that in income and expenditure the organization forms the greatest relief movement of his tory. The commission has collected and disbursed $50,000,000, $15,000,000 of which has been contributed in the form of money or gift food by the people of the United States and tie British em plre and Belgium itself.

The bulk of the income has come from other than purely philanthropic sources, but the raising of this enormous sum has been exclusively the work of the commission, which by financial arrangements with Belgian Individuals and Institutions, ex change of currency with Belgium and a system of providing the solvent Belgian Inhabitants, has maintained the entire population of a nation for almost a year. A remarkable feature of the report which has hitherto received but notice Is the effort being made by the Belgians to help themselves. Over 50 per cent, of the money expended by the commission in benevolence is being furnished by Belgians abroad, and a largo amount also is being supplied by Belgians in Belgium. American Support. In discussing the report Herbert C.

Hoover, chairman of the commission, said: "It may cause more surprise among Americans, who believe that the United States is provisioning the Belgian and French people In the track of war, that only something over $6,000,000 in food, clothes and money have come from the United States. However, the American peoqilo should realize that the commission in its organization, working personnel and political aspects is distinctly American. The American charitable support, so early and promptly given, came at the very inception of the movement when such backing was vital to the success of the organization in giving it time to; build. This support gave the commission its foundation from which it acquired the moral prestige that enabled It to secure vitally necessary concessions from the various belligerent Governments. Nor is tho necessity for this valued support at all over.

Tho problem becomes more difficult every day. for the number of destitute has increased from 1.000,000 last October to 2,750,000 in June, and now grows at the rate of 200,000 a month. And our resources, large as they are, cannot keep pace with the need If the charita-blo public loses Interest In our work. Moreover, the continued support of America is necessary to provide the commission with the moral prestige as an American institution which it now possesses in the sight af the warring Powers, and the maintenance of this prestige can only be secured by the continued sentimental and practical backing of the American people." 105 Cargoes of Food. The report includes detailed statements of the commission's work, such as complete accounts of the disposition of 1 9r cargoes of foodstuffs and clothing, and other statistical data, as weh as a general survey of the situation in Belgium.

It is pointed out that the organization as it stands now is the result of constant upbuilding, a feature of which has been the organization of local relief committees in practically every commune witli a federal system of district and provincial committees with the Comite National at the apex. The relation of this structure to the commission is one of joint endeavor, and the membership cf Americans entirely interlocks the organization. The relief operations are divided into three classes, one to provision the entire population, another to conduct financial relief and exchange operations, and a third to care for the destitute. "The provisioning department," says the report, "is charged with the duty of revictualing the whole 7,000,000 people with necessary imports, and up to June 30 had either delivered or hud in stock over 000,000 tons of foodstuffs for the Belgian section to the gross value of over $45,000,000. The whole of these foodstuffs are resold to the population through a broad system uf reticulation, and the profit earned on these operations is devoted to the support of the destitute.

Such profits have been made possible by the volunteer executive, commercial and transportation services, and the amount of these profits about $4,800,000 to date is the measure of the value of such voluntary service." Financial Relief. After referring to the work of the financial relief and benevolent depart ments, the committee states that half million people who might otherwise have fallen into destitution have been provided lor through the remittance made available by this department, which to June 30 totaled about $20 "Through the benevolent depart ment," the report continues, "the char ity of -the world and of the Belgian people themselves is mobilized tu the support of the destitute, and through it over 2,750,000 persons are now be ing assisted in some measure with food and clothing. The total resources made available to the commission from abroad for the support of the destitute was over $31,000,000 to June 30, and the expenditure from these sources was bert, of Frankfort, candidate for State Superintendent; Judge James D. niack, candidate for lieutenant Governor; Robert Green; Rodman Keenan; Mat S.
