WELL CUT ALL ICE I THEY CAN OBTAIN Local Dealers Will Begin the Work as Soon as It Is Thick Enough I.OCttl ice dealers are all set to cut all the ice they can get, according to J-Jarvey K. DeWalt, of the United Ice and Coal Company. Mr. DeWalt said this morning that although the ice was only several inches thick at pres ent and therefore unlit for cutting, if the cold wave continues it will not be very long before the work will begin. Philadelphia dispatches this morn ing speak of the great shortage of natural which will result from the propaganda being directed against it as unhealthful. The natural ice forming in that region will not be cut because many com panies have let their ice houses fall to pieces and have directed their energies in the manufacture of artifi cial ice. This will not happen in Jiarris burg, according to Mr. DeWalt, asi the companies have kept their ice houses in good repair and are all pre pared to take care of their capacity of 65,000 tons.

Calls Grocers' Plan Trick to Beat Public Philadelphia, Dec. 20.—"A trick .to beat the public" is what the offer of the Retail Grocers' Association 'to take over the surplus navy goods to sell them to retail grocers at a 5 per cent profit, is called by Mrs. Marlon 1,.

Tse McNeil's Pain Exterminator —Ad MANY CHRISTIANS i FLEEING MOSLEMS Fear of Further Massacres Causing Members to Aban don Homes Diarbekir, Turkey, Dec. 20.—Fear | of the further massacres is causing j numbers of Christians in this region |to atiandon their homes and seek | safety in the territory occupied by | the British, whose nearest post is at ' Ourfa. For days there has been a steady procession of carriages, containing families with all their possessions, ! on the road to the southward. Many lof them are headed for Aleppo, I which means a hot, dusty journey of ! several hundred miles across the j plain. j The immediate cause of this ex odus of Christians is the nttltc.de of | their Moslem neighbors, coupled 1 with the notorious reputation that ; Dlurhckir won for itself in the mas j sac res and deportations a few years I ago, but back of it is a feeling of ' restlessness because of the fact that j months have passed since tlie armis j tice and as yet "mothing lias been j done to guarantee the security o! the non-Moslem population. Take Xo Heed of Promises The Near East relief, the Amer ican organization which is distribut ing aid to the survivors of the mas sacres through a station In Diarbe kir, has succeeded in obtaining as surance from the authorities that the Christians will not ho molested by the government, and that they may resume tlieir occupations. This | assurance, however, applies only to the authorities, and means that the Christians are only to consider that i if disorders begin, they will not, at least, be at the open instigation of the government. It' does not en tirely promise, protection, and there fore the Christians, afraid that the Moslems may turn against them at j any moment, are electing to seek ! safety in flight. The situation is having its effect | on the work of the relief organ ization in recovering the Christian girls wlio were carried off, during the deportations, to Moslem harems. This work lias been going on for weeks, the relief workers being un dismayed by tlie thought of per sonal peril. Now, however, the Moslems are threatening tlie girls with death if tliey permit them selves to be rescued, and many of them are afraid to leave their mas ters. Large numbers of these girls re main to be recovered. In the early months of 1915 about 68,000 Chris-j tions were exiled from Diat'beklr, and from their ranks were taken hundreds of th e prettiest young women. Even some of those who escaped, and remained hidden in the vicinity throughout the depor tations, later sold themselves to the I Turks, confronted as they were with the alternative of doing this or of starving to death. Tlie condition of these Christian girls is one of the most tragic problems that confront the relief workers who state that many of the girls, in their shame, have killed the children of their Moslem fathers. Faking of German Soldiers in Berlin Is Trailed by Police Berlin. Dee. 20.—A1l tlie organi zations for alleviating the lot of the war wounded have joined with tho Ministry of Labor to put an end fi nally to tlie begging by the pre tended wounded soldiers who clutter tlie principal streets of Berlin. On all sides one sees men whose arms have been "severed" (by strapping them to their bodies), or who feign to he suffering from sliellsliock and shake pitifully, after learning in a Berlin school the approved methods of shaking. Investigation has shown that these people collect up to 300 marks daily from tlieir faking. The government has been carry ing on investigations for weeks in Berlin, Essen, Hamburg and other large cities, and lias established the fact that hardly 5 per cent of the "wounded" soldiers who are begging are genuine. One "shaker" was trailed to a saloon where he ceased shaking and drank cognac liberally while he counted up over 300 marks, his day's receipts. Another "one armed"" man collected eighty marks in two hours in Tauentzien street, and then was seen to slip round a corner and unbind his missing arm which was belted to his body. . In Hamburg, of eighteen men arrested only one proved to have been wounded In tlie war. G. 0. P. Committee Will Meet January 5 to Plan Convention Chicago.
