PICTURE SUFFERING IN EUROPE AS LESSON TO PEOPLE OF U. S.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 8. —"if the men in the United States who refuse to work when they have the opportunity could only see the condition of mankind in Europe they would go to work and be thankful of the opportunity to earn a living.” This statement' was made today by John Callan O’Laughlin, former newspaper correspondent of International reputation, who is just back from Europe, where he went on a business mission- His trip took him through England, France, Italy, the new Czechoslovak republic and well over Austria. “The people of the United States have no conception of the conditions over there," said he. "When you tell them that thousands upon thousands of men, women and children are actually starving they refuse to believe it, and yet this is the fact, fn Austria, starvation stalks on every hand. I spent some days in Vienna. A meal at the hotel, consisting of a piece of fowl, a bit of bread and a little fruit, costs the equivalent of 30 American dollars. If the people of the United States who are displaying so much unrest could only get a glimpse of what Europe is going through they would certainly change their ways.” Death from cold and starvation await from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 persons in Europe and the near east this winter and nothing but a miracle can prevent the disaster, Henry Morgenthau, former ambassador to Turkey, said in an address here last night. . "You can travel for days in eastern Europe and see only emaciated faces and gaze into eyes that are dull from lack of food,’ said Mr. Morgenthau. "Shall we stand aside, while Europe flounders In agony Into dissolution, or »-e we to rise to our opportunity and our duty and rescue the suffering people? The great impulse must come from this side of the Atlantic. Europe is today facing a dissolution not unlike that which occurred when the Roman empire fell- Emerson said that ‘America represented God’s last attempt to save mankind,’ and it looks as though the time when we were to make good the prophecy has arrived. "All the testimony is that everything In Europe waits on the treaty of peace with Germany. This means that Europe is waiting on the United States senate.”

COMMUNITY SERVICE

There is much unrest all over the world and the United States is not entirely immune from Bolshevism. What is needed to avert one of the most dreadful of all calamities is the Americanization of all foreign born within our borders rescue those fortunate enough to be born in this country from the slough of despond, to improve their surroundings and give them a more hopeful and cheerful view of the future. To impress upon the foreign born the necessity of being good citizens is one of the greatest objects of Community Service. There is room in every community for earnest work in this direction and there seems no questioning the statement that Community Service is the best equipped organization to accomplish this tremendous task. It has the machinery and the leaders and it already has proved its worth in a number of cities. Neighborhood and community works are not new in this country, but there is a new promise of force through national organization in the nation-wide plans of Community Service. Roosevelt said that “no man could be part American and part something else” and truer words were never uttered. The citizens of this country must be all American or nothing. The program of Community Service calls for a great movement to make thorough-going Americans of all of our foreign born population. Americanization is the common term but higher and better citizenship are better words. Through various methods Community Service plans to instill into the alien born the ideals that will counteract unrest and place the disciple of unrest in the background

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

CIVIL WAR ‘VET’ IS ENTHUSIASTIC

Overcomes Troubles Which He Thought Due to His Advanced Age. One of the few survivors of that memorable "March to the sea,” in the closing days of the Civil War, Is Robert Shields, who is now a popular figure around the Soldiers’ Home in Marlon, Indiana. In 1861/ at the age of sixteen, Mr. Shields ran away from his home, came to Indianapolis, and joined the 10th Indiana Infantry. He entered the war weighing only one hundred pounds; saw active service during the entire conflict, came out without a scratch and weighing two hundred pounds. Mr. Shields relates many tragic Incidents of the battle fields, for he was in many of the most important engagements, among them being the battle of Missionary Ridge, but his war experiences are hardly more Interesting than his story regarding the wonderful benefits he has derived from the use of Tanlac. “I have had two different experiences with Tanlac during the year,” said Mr. Shields, In an interview at the residence of his nephew, whom he was visiting at 1711 East Thaddeus street, Indianapolis, Ind-, recently, "and both times it has fixed me up fine. The only time I ever had a doctor in my life was when I had the mumps during the Civil War and was laid up In the hospital a week. I have never needed any medicine since that time until about a year ago, when my appetite went back on me, my stomach got all out of order and I got badly run down. My food would sour on my stomach causing gas and attacks of acute indigestion. I was badly constipated and lost twelve pounds In weight in a shorL time. "I had read in the papers about Tanlac and some of my old comrades at the Soldiers’ Home adylsed me to try it, saying It was sure fine. I wasn’t expecting very much results from It, for I was laying all my trouble to my advanced age, as I was then sev-enty-three. But I noticed a difference before I had finished that first bottle. I commenced to eat, my stomach stopped bothering me and I wasn’t troubled with constipation any more. I took about three bottles of Tanlac at that time and not only gained nine pounds—which I have held ever since—and it just made me feel like a different person. Well, sir, I praised Tanlac around the house and soon had a whole bunch of the boys taking it. "Now about this last experience with Tanlac- Four months ago I came up to visit my nephew here in Indianapolis and caught a severe cold and a kind of malerla set in. I had chills and fever, was awfully bilious and just felt mean, dull and stupid all the time and had no appetite. When I saw the condition I was getting in I sent to the drug store for my Tanlac. I call it my Tanlac because it is about the only medicine I have ever taken. Well, it just straightened me right out like it did the first time and now I am feeling just fine. There’s not a trace of the malaria or cold left. I eat good, sleep good and am feeling just as good as I ever did in my life. Tanlac is certainly fine ahd I am glad to recommend it to everyone, just as I have always done since I found out what it will do.”

Tanlac Is sold 'in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and In Remington by Frank L. Peck.—Advt.
