Utter Desperation Notice ot Sheriff’s Sale The sorriest indictment againat Ger- may todat- is her sinking of relief ships carry ing fo-xi and clothing to starving, overwhelmed Belgium. This will come nearer than anything tc bringing on a rebellion in Germ any her se'.’. A woman reached New Yora from that distresse 1 cointry recently, and if reported as saying: “we should have starved if it had not been for the Uni- ted States. ” That the power which brought this fearful calamity upon Bel gium should sink relief ships carrying to that starving people the absolute necessities of life, is something which all natiops and peoples recoil before. It shows how desperate must be the conditions tn Germany and Austria, and makes one instinctively think of a shipwrecked crew in an open boat, the remnant living unon the corpses of those who have died.-Goodwin’s Week ly.
