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
