A prominent Georgia physician went through a food experience which be makes public. "it was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food and I also know, from having prescribed it to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food Is a wonderful rebuilder and restorer of nerve and brain tissue, as well as mus e!e. It improves the digestion and cick patients gain very rapidly, just as I did in strength and weight. "I was in such a low state that 1 bad to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of this state, but two months there did not Improve me; in fact. I was not quite as well as when I left home. “My food did not sustain me and K became plain that I must change. Then I began to ubo Grape-Nuts food and in two weeks I could walk a mile without fatigue, and in five weeks re turned to my home and practice, tak ing up hard work again. Since that time I have felt as well and strong as I ever did in my life. “As a physician who aeeka to help all sufferers, I consider it a duty to make these facts public.” Name given by Postnm Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

I _ CHOSEN ON NINTH BALLOT Cardinal Giacomo Della Chiesa, Only Recently Given Red Hat, la Choaen Supreme Head of Roman Church. Rome, Italy.—Cardinal Giacomo Della Chiesa, archbishop of Bologna, Italy, on Thursday was elected su preme pontiff of the Catholic heir archy In succession to Pope Pius X, who died August 20. He will reign under the name of Benedict XV. The conclave of the sacred college, whoee duty it is to elect the pope, went Into session the evening of Mon day, August 31. The announcement of the outcome of its deliberations was made Thursday morning shortly after eleven o'clock. Nine ballots were taken. The pontiff pronounced the apostolic benediction to the kneeling crowd. Prelates Who Name the Pope. The full membership of the sacred college of cardinals, which elected the pope, was more international in its representation than at any time in the history of the church. With tfie creation of thirteen new cardinals in May, Pope Plus X brought the college up to 66, only four fewer than the maximum number allowed under the laws of the church and three more ,than participated in his own election in J 903, when there was a rc^ rd attendance of 63 cardinals. Nearly All Nations Represented. While the sacred college is not a -“Dresentative body in a strict sense word, this year nearly all ..ho countries were represented. South America, the United States, Ctvnada, England, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, Austria Hungary, Italy, France and Spain—14 nations in ail. The Orient has ao cardinal, neither has Russia, Africa, Australasia or Switzerland. Twenty of the present cardinals are from five of the warring nations of Europe: Austria-Hungary having six and Germany two, as against a total of twelve, which might be said to rep resent the “allies” in the European war. Facts About the New Pope. Cardinal Giacomo Della Chiesa, who succeeds Pope Pius X, who died Au gust 20. was created a cardinal May 25, 1914. He is the archbishop of Bologna, Italy. Cardinal Chiesa was born in Pegtl, in the diocese of Genes, November 21, 1854, and was ordained a priest De cember 21, 1878. He served as secre tary of the nunciature in Spain from j 1383 to 1887, in which year he was appointed secretary to the late Car dinal Rampclla. He was appolnteed substitute secretary of state in 1901 ana in 1907 he was elected to the post of adviser to the holy office. Officially Condemns Tango. In’ 1907 he was appointed papal nuncio of Madrid, succeeding Mgr. Rlanaldinl, but this appointment vfs j canceled three days later. This Inci dent had occurred just before he was made archbishop of Bologna. When Mgr. Della Chiesa was glTen this post it was declared in Rome that it was mainly with the object of combating modern religious ideas, Bologna being the headquarters of the National Dem ocratic league, whose members advo cated what is known as “modernism” in religion. In January, 1914, while still at Bologna, the present pope issued a pastoral letter strongly condemning the tango. Takes Title of Benedict. It has been 174 years since the time of the last Pope Benedict. On his elec tion to the papacy in 1740 Cardinal Prospero Lambertini assumed that title. It is an interesting fact that the new pope was archbishop of Bologna, while Pope Benedict XIV was born in Bologna. It was at the age of twenty-four that the new pope was ordained in the pries hood. He soon attracted the at tention of Cardinal Rampolla, later secretary of state for Pope Leo XIII. When Cardinal Rampolla was made nuncio to Madrid he took Mgr. Della Chiesa with him as secrtary of nuncia ture. On Cardinal Rampolla's return to Rome to become secretary of state for the Vatican. Mgr. Della Chieea entered the secretariat of state as one of the “minutamti” or minor officials, until 1991, when he was appointed substi tute of the secretariat and also secre tary of the cypher. Made Bologna Archbishop. As secretary to the secretary of state. Cardinal Della Chiesa was brought into notable prominence throughout the Catholic hierarchy, but his position wae not at that time of cardinalis rank. On the accession of Pope Pius X, Mgr. Della Chiesa con tinued in the secretariat until Decem ber 16, 1907, when Pius X gave him a noted promotion to the position of archbishop of the important see of Bologna. For seven years he administered the see of Bologna with notable success, until on laet May Pope Plus X named him as one of the 13 members of the hierarchy to receive the red hat. Arch bishop Begin of Quebec was among the other cardinals named at that time, the others being prelates of Spain, France, Austria, Germany and Italy. The full title of the new pope, in addition to Benedict XV, will be Pope Bishop of Rome and Successor of St. Peter, Supreme Pontiff of the Univer sal Church, Patriarch of the West. Pri mate of Italy, Archbishop and Metro politan of the Roman Province, Sov ereign of the Temporal Dominion of the Holy Roman Church. The pope held his first consistory on Tuesday, when he conferred the red bat on Cardinal Anthony Mendea Bello, patriarch of Lisbon, and Cardi nal Guisasolay Menendez, archbishop of Toledo, Spain. Both were created cardinals by Pope Pius X at the con sistory last May. The pope delivered on Tuesday his first allocution, which gives to the world the program of his pontificate. One of the brothers of the pontiff is an admiral in the Italian navy, and an other is a captain in the Italian navy. The first appointment made by the pope was that of Monsignor Pandin, nephew of Pius X, to be canon of St Peter’s. It has been 174 years since the time of the last Pope Benedict On his elec tion to the papacy in 1740 Cardinal Prospero Lambert ini assumed title. It is an interesting fact that the new pope was archbishop of Bologna, while Pope Benedict XTV was born in Bologna. UNGAUGE TAUGHT BY CHART Novel Device Has Been Found Effec tive by Teacher in an English Grammar School. A teacher at a London grammar school adopts a very effective method of teaching French to boys. English children find great difficulty with the French pronunciation. Their own tongue is so complex, both in spelling and in pronunciation, that a simple latia tongue like French comes to -— ~ ~ ~ w w ^ them u a surprise. The pupils carry a little mirror to clase, and, placing themselves in turn before the chart, they try by compar ing the image of their own mouths with the diagram, to give the correct position to their lij* and tongue. tti sons in class follow these separate rep etitions. It is hard to believe that this sys tem of teaching French does not exag gerate the difficulties; but the results reached during the last two years show that it is effective. ADVANCE OF GERMANS LIKE MOVING FORWARD OF NATION By PHILIP GIBBS. | Paris.—When I escaped from Amiens, before the tunnel was broken up, and the Germans entered into pos session of the town on August 28, the front of the allied armies was in a crescent from Abbeville, south of Amiens on wooded heights, and thence in a irregular line to south of Mezieres. The British forces, under Sir John French, were at the left of the center, supporting the heavy thrust-forward of the main German advance, while the right was commanded by General Pau. A Million on the Move. On Sunday afternoon fighting was resumed along the whole line. The German vanguard by this time had been supported by a fresh army corps, which had been brought from Bel gium. At least 1,000,000 men were on the move, pressing upon the allied forces with a ferocity of attack which has never before been equaled. Their cavalry swept across a great tract of country, squadron by squadron, like the mounted hordes of Attila, but armed with the dreadful weapons of modern warfare. Their artillery was in enormous numbers and their columns advanced under cover of it, not like an army, but rather like a moving nation—I do not think, however, with equal pres sure at all parts of the line. It formed Itself into a battering ram with a pointed end and this was thrust at the heart of the English wing. Impossible to Resist. It was impossible to resist this on slaught. If the British forces had stood against it they would have been crushed and broken. Our gunners were magnificent and shelled the ad vancing German columns so that the dead lay heaped up along the way which was leading down to Paris; but, as one of them told me: “It made no manner of difference. As soon as we had smashed one lot, another followed, column after column, and by sheer weight of numbers. We could do nothing to check them.” After this the British forces fell back, fighting all the time. The line of the allies was in the ahape of a “V”; the Germans thrust their main attack deep into the angle. This po sition remained the same until Mon day. or rather had completed itself by that date, the retirement of the troops being maintained with masterly skill and without undue haste. River Choked With Dead. Meanwhile General Pau was sustain ing a terrific attack on the French cen ter by the German left center, which culminated on (date omitted). The River Oise, which runs between beau tiful meadows, was choked with corpses and red with blood. From an eye witness of this great battle, an officer of an infantry regi ment ~ wo escaped with a slight wound, I learned that the German onslaught had been repelled by a series of bril liant bayonet and cavalry charges. “The Germans,” he said, “had the elite of their army engaged against us, including the Tenth army corps and the Imperial guard, but the hero ism of our troops was sublime. Every man knew that the safety of Francs depended upon him and was ready to sacrifice his life, if need be, with joy ful enthusiasm. Gave Great Punishment. “They not only resisted the enemy’s attack, but took the offensive, and, in spite of their overpowering numbers, gave them tremendous punishment. They had to recoil before our guns. “Hundreds of them were bayoneted and hundreds were hurled into the river. The whole field of battle was outlined by dead and dying men whom they had to abandon. Certainly their losses were enormous, and I felt that the German retreat was in full swing and that we could claim a real victory for .the time being.” Pau Compelled to YiSId. Nevertheless the inevitable hap pened, owing to the vast reserves of the enemy, who brought up four divi: sions, and General Pau was compelled to give ground. On Tuesday German skirmishers with light artillery were coming south ward. and the sound of their field guns greeted my ears. Presently I saw the figure of a French dragoon, with his carbine slung behind his back. He was standing by the side of a number of gunpowder hags. A little farther away were little groups of sol diers at work by two bridges, one over a stream and one over a road. They were working very calmly and I could see what they were doing. They were mining the bridges to blow them up at a given Bignal. As 1 went farther I saw the streets were Btrewn with broken bottles and littered with wire entanglements, art fully and carefully made. Trap for German Army. It.was obvious that there was very grim business being done and that the soldiers were wa<tlng for something to happen. At the railway station I quick ly learned tbe truth. The Germans were only a few miles away in great force. At any moment they might come down, smashing everything in their way. .The station master, a brave old type, and one or two porters, had demand ed to stay on to the last. “We are here,” he said, as though the Germans would have to reckon with him, but he was emphatic In his request for me to leave at once If an other train could be got away, which was very uncertain. As a matter of fact, after a bad quarter of an hour I was put on the laBt train to escape from this threat ened town, and left it with the sound of German guns in my ears, followed by a dull explosion when the bridge behind me was blown up. Escape Narrowly. My train, in which there were only four other men, skirted the German army and by a twist in the line almost ran into the enemy’s country, but we rushed through the ni^it, and the en gine driver laughed and put his oily hand up to salute when I stepped out to the platform of an unknown sta tion. "The Germans won’t get us, after all," he said. "It was a little risky, all the same.” The station was crowded with French soldiers, and they were soon telling me their experiences of the hard. fighting in which they had been engaged. They were dirty, unshaven, dusty from head to foot, scorched by the August sun, in tattered uniforms and broken boots; but they were beau tiful men for all their dirt, and the laughing courage, quiet confidence and' unbragging simplicity with which they assured me that the Germans would soon be caught in a death trap and sent to their destruction filled me with admiration which I cannot express in words. All the odds were against them. They had fought the hardest of all ac tions—the retirement from the fight ing line—but they had absolute faith in the ultimate success of the allied arms. Germans Are Reckless. London.—A Chronicle correspondent writing from an unarmed town says: "The Germans are displaying ex traordinary recklessness, flinging away thousands of lives in the hope of ulti mately gaining thfeir end. No doubt the rapid advance of the Russians in eastern Prussia has something to do with this, and is responsible for the frantic and insane haste which char acterizes the German attempt in north ern France to smash the thin khaki line which so valiantly bars the road toward Competgne, Soissons and Paris. "That Btories of German atrocities are not one whit exaggerated may be gathered from the story told me by a sergeant who was wounded in the ac tion near Mons Sunday a week ago. "As he lay helpless on the ground and the German infantry swept by be could hear, from the imploring cries of the wounded in his front, that they were being ruthlessly put to death by their foes. Ordeal Is Terrible. "Closing his eyes and simulating death, the wounded sergeant lay per fectly still. As the Germans passed him he received a violent blow in the chest from the butt end of a rifle which broke one of his ribs. He bore the pain unflinchingly and never moved a muscle. Another Prussian stabbed a wounded man with his bay onet as he went past. "The sergeant’s ordeal was a terri ble one and he expected every mo met to be his last. Ultimately the German advance was broken and their infantry came rolling back, shattered and disordered, leaving behind a trail of dead and wounded. The wounded sergeant was picked up by British stretcher bearers and conveyed to the base hospital, where he is now fast recovering. English Are Cheerful. “Freshly arrived troops from Eng land, who had been pushed forward, arrived in time to participate in the battle. These British re-enforcements had been carrying out strategic move ments in troops trains' for several days, and in the expressive phraseol ogy of Tommy Atkins, ‘they were fed up with the whole thing’ and were all ^eagerness for a brush with the enemy. “Their chance came yesterday. Many were reserves with South African ex perience, and they marched to the front cheering the French and growl ing for ‘William the Weed,’ somehow confusing the emperor with William (of Wied) of Albania. French and English flags were borne at the head of each company. "They were in fine fettle, ‘Are we downhearted?’ would shout some one from the ranks, ‘no, but William the Weed will be down-hearted by the time we finish with him.’ ” French Kind, Says Dying German. Paris.—The American embassy here is daily in receipt of letters written by dying soldiers, forwarded to it by the French government for 'transmission to Germany. One is from a German aviator, who had fallen into the hands of the French. The man wrote: “Good-by dear father and mother; my leg has been crushed. The French officers are very kind.” A postscript to this letter, added by a French officer, reads: “At this point the brave fellow died; please forward this to his parents.” Man Germany Honored a Hostage. Paris.—The Petit Parisien points out the irony in the case of M. Ernst Sol vay, who with Baron Lambert de Rothschild was taken as a hostage at Brussels. The paper says that Solvay. who is well known for his invention of a process by which soda can be bought at an extremely cheap price, was re cently highly honored by European na tione. Germany conferred on Solvay one of its highest honors, the gold medal of the Academy of Sciences of Berlin. SENDS ARMY THROUGH. BRITAIN TO ALLIES New York.—A Russian army of 72, 000 men, transported from Archangel, the most northern part of Russia, was landed at Aberdeen on the east coast of Scotland, on the night of August 27, according to officers and passengers of the Cunard liner Mauretania, which reached New York. # From Aberdeen the troops, it is said, were conveyed on special trains to Harwich, Grimsby, and Dover where transports were waiting to con vey them to Ostend. Every precaution was taken by the military authorities to keep the trans portation of the foreign soldiers through England from becoming known, and the service on the east coast railway lines was suspended dur ing the 17 hours the troop trains were on the Journey. It was believed that the Russians would “be Joined at Ostend by 2,000 British marines, who were waiting there to receive them. NEBRASKA IN BRIEF.
