PYLE CO. MONTAGUE ST. Schurer-Whittle. The marriage of Miss Lillian Whittie to George Schurer of 124 Huron street took place at the parsonage, 1001 Lorimer street, on Monday, May 29. The Rev.

Robert Anderson Watson. pastor of the Kent Street Reformed Church, officiated. The bride was attended by Miss Charlotte Long. The best man was Thomas Flazzo. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal pair left on their honeymoon.

Mrs. Charles D. Smith, 106 Honcock street. has announced the engagement of her daughter, Miss Jessie Mudham Smith, to William Wallace Frazier, formerly of Philadelphia. No date for the wedding has been set.

JAMES N. BREWSTER LOSES HIS EYESIGHT Has Reached Age of 92 and Has Read The Eagle for 65 Years. FORCED TO HAVE READER NOW. Coney Island Man Has Lived In Brooklyn Seventy-five Years. Has Many Inventions.

James N. Brewster of West Second street, Coney Island, who recently reached the age of 92 years, and during his long sojourn in Brooklyn has achieved success in many inventions of his own, has lost the use of his eyesight. With the aid of powerful lenses, he can still see to move about, but Mr. Brewster, who all his life has been a constant reader, is unable now to read even his own handwriting. "I have read The Brooklyn Daily Eagle for the past sixty-five he told an Eagle reporter yesterday.

"I have always admired for the conscientious fight it has ever undertaken in the interests of civic rightcousness and national integrity. But from now on someone will have to read its columns to me. It will be a new experience. I have been a constant reader of your paper. It has always been my after-dinner enjoyment." Some society whose purpose is to bring sunlight into the lives of those who have lost the use of eyesight will find here an opportunity for a practical charity.

Mr. Brewster came from Sussex County, England, in 1841, and settled in Williamsburg when Bedford avenue, then called Fourth street, was the outskirts of the town. He was an expert mechanic and installed the first coal pocket in Brooklyn, and also installed the first automatic electric railway for dumping and hauling coal. He has spent his lifetime perfecting many valuable vices. Among them are a roller blind that rolls up automatically when the window is raised, a chart for the prevention of collisions at sea and a cement block system, which has been very successful in building small houses.

He designed a unique educational pattern for a new flag, which, while it was not adopted, caused much favorable comment. The design was displayed by The Eagle for a week in its windows. His plan for the disposition of traffic on the Manhattan Bridge is another one of his successful schemes and has been largely used by the city. The latest product of Mr. Brewster's inventive genius is the "tentbungalow," which is designed primarily for a hospital tent, with five beds and all appurtenances, but which may readily be turned into any sort of a field shelter.

It ig light and portable and easily set up. The beds are folding, and when shut up contain all necessary camproom articles, such as water jug, mirror, and SO forth. Long ago, when in his youth, Mr. Brewster heard Elihu Burritt speak fora peace that in night Birmingham Burritt made Town a Hall, convert. When he first came to America, Mr.

Brewster served as an engineer in Cuba, making investigations into the refining sugar processes. Although every engineer in the region in which he worked carried both dirk and pistol, Mr. Brewster went about unarmed, often at considerable a risk. The present war is a horror indescribable to Mr. Brewster.

He blames the greed of nations, which, instead of working together for the progress of mankind, have permitted their petty jealousies to rule them. While still in England, Mr. Brewster had occasion to serve Queen Victoria at her coronation in an unexpected manner. In the village near Birmingham where he lived, a public feast was provided on the day of the ceremony. The official carver failed put in an appearance, and Mr.

Brewster, without a moment's hesitation, seized a fork and carving knife. and, wrapping an apron about himself, proceeded to carve the haunch of beef. When he returned to England for King Edward's coronation, he was a waiter in the town festival in the Guild Hall. School teaching was also a. part of his varied career.

He taught school in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, over sixty years ago. His method was simplicity itself. "When one section of the class had shown me that it learned its lesson well. I sent them out to play. I never had any difficulties with examinations." he added, dryly.

Mr. Brewster has stanchly upheld all measures for civic improvement. and his inclinations toward national legislation run slightly to the radical. He proposed once that instead of the present system of inheritance tax, a law be passed forbidding any fortune to be willed to any one person in excess of $100.000. When the Hudson tubes were opened he received an invitation from William McAdoo to inspect the tunnels.

He was also one of the first to go through the East River tunnels. Several articles on old Brooklyn and reminiscences of Victorian England, written by Mr. Brewster, have appeared from to time in The Eagle, and he has been a regular contributor to the Forum page. BYRNE-MACKESSY. Mrs.

Benzmiller are away on short trip. Party For Miss Curry. Miss Elsie Curry of Eleventh avenue, Borough Park, was given a pleasant surprise party Saturday evening, May 27, in the home of Miss Charlotte Severe, 1614 Fort Hamilton Parkway. Don't Worry Arguments By Soldiers at the Front Henri Francois Muller, assistant fessor of romance languages at Columbia University, who was granted A leave of absence in order that he might respond to a summons French colors, has written to a friend from the front, his letter being published in the current issue of the Columbia Alumni News. The professor is a corporal-fourrier in the 33d Territorial, 5 Compagne, and his letter is of strong interest.

Among other things he says: "The war drags on and as you say there is no prospect of its ending soon. We have settled down to a routine and days pass quickly enough, and so do the weeks and months, and it seems that we will never go back to civil life and resume our former occupations. "Reading becomes then an important part of iny life--not that I have much time, but it's a tonic that helps one to keep up his spirits. It will sound pedantic if I say that old works have had new meanings for me. The Aeneid, for instance, has filled me with wonder.

At the very beginning, when Aeneas, tired weary, says to his companions: 'Endure and you will triumph through that very he expresses an idea that M. Poincare repeated in almost the same terms in one of his early messages. The battle scenes, the different kinds of courage shown by the various fighters, the reasonings of those that are weary are strikingly true according to my small experience. However, I should think that death inflicted by shot and shell is more instantaneous and does not allow the reflex motions that often accompany it in Virgil's descriptions; but I have never seen any hand to hand fighting. "Things have not materially changed since last spring, except, so far as I am concerned, the fact that I am quartermaster and in charge of the ravitaillement or revictualing of my section.

The experience is interesting. I am getting acquainted with the machinery that feeds so many men, horses, guns. All that in a small way, of course. mirable "One thing that I consider really adis that through the terriflo battle that has been raging, with the bridges and roads under the enemy fire, with the arrival of enormous numbers of men and material, we, on the 'wrong' side of the river, have not missed a meal; coffee, sugar, meat, bread, vegetables, wine, everything has come as regularly as though nothing untoward had happened. It would really be perfect if what is human could be perfect; but the natural selfishness of the human instruments always causes some falling off in the result.

"It would be easy, of course, to cite painful or ludicrous illustrations of to dwell on them. Besides, they are this weakness, but now is not the time without much significance. They sim- RUMANIA OFFERS U.S. $75,000,000 TRADE America Has Opportunity to Supply Goods Formerly Imported From Germany and Austria. COUNTRY IS IN DIRE NEED.

Dr. Demetrius Andronesca, Now in Brooklyn, Discusses War Conditions in His Country. Dr. Demetrius I. Andronescu, formerly the representative of the Rumanian Government in this country, and at present residing at 280 Henry street, yesterday called attention to the opportunity presented to a group of American merchants and exporters to supply the Rumanian nation with $75,000,000 of goods of all kinds, formerly imported by the Rumanian from Germany and Austria, Hungary.

The war has ceased all importations into Rumania from the Germanic allies and consequently the Rumanians are in dire need of manufactured articles all kinds. The dearth of such supplies is so great, Dr. Andronescu said, that he had to pay $12 for the last pair of shoes he purchased in Rumania and the price of a small spool of thread has mounted to $1. Many of the shops of the nation have closed their doors because they have been unable to secure articles for retail, he added. This market is now open to Americans for the mere asking, Dr.

AndronO escu declared. To replace the $75,000,000 of goods formerly sent into the country annually from the German nations, since the war the Allies and America have supplied the Rumanians with only $13,000,000 of goods. The supply dropped off to such an extent in 1915 that there were half a million automobiles in the country standing idle for want of tires. "We have not been given adequate opportunity to develop our manufactures by the European Powers," Dr. Andronescu said.

"Our popuiation 18 mostly rural, there being nearly six million country people as against less than a million and a half city people in Rumania. "We sold our crops to Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1914 and 1915. and they paid with gold. We asked for commodities in return, but they said they could give us only gold. In consequence, Rumania, which has depends largely upon its imports, not been able to import a handkerchief.

'The Rumanian Government would be glad to have some group of merchants or corporation in this country to which it could turn and through which it could order its supplies. Machinery, both agricultural and plant, shoes, cotton and furnishings are the principal imports for which Rumanla turns to this country. "This 18 America's opportunity to sell to the Rumanian market. As compared with the Central Powers, which have sold forty-two millions of doliars worth to Rumania annually, the United States sold only half a million. England has sold ten million, and Belgium two and a half million, States." five times as much as the United Dr.

Andronescu has been in Brooklyn but a few days, arriving here from a tour of the West where he has studying In agricultural and he economic conditions. Rumania, was professor of the University of Rumania and head of the experimental farm near Bucharest. He expects to remain in New York for some time and hopes to interest some American coropration or interests in the Rumanian export Miss Agnes Butler of 126 East Fourth street was the guest of honor at a surprise, National party given Order of by the the Daughters members of Columbia, Star of the Sea Council No. 3, on Friday evening, May 26. It took the form of a "miscellaneous shower." The affair was held at the council chamber.

Many pretty and useful gifts were received by Miss Butler, who is to become the bride of Brentwood L. Albertson of 811 East Fifth street In the fall. LITHUANIANS HERE START RELIEF FUND Mass Meeting to Aid War Sufferers to Be Held in McCaddin Hall. POUNDS TO BE A SPEAKER. Nation-Wide Campaign Has ment of Cardinal Farley and Bishop McDonnell.

A campaign for the relief of the Lithuanian sufferers in the -wide world war will be initiated on June 5 with a great mass meeting to be held in McCaddin Memorial Hall, Berry and South Second streets. Under the patronage of Cardinal Farley, Bishop McDonnell of Brooklyn ecclesiastical dignitaries in the principal cities of the United States, plans will be laid for the campaign and every effort will be made to build the foundations for a fund that will adequately express the sympathy of America with the the the sufferings of the Lithuanian race. According to refugees from the devastated land, Lithuania has suffered even more than Belgium from the hand of war. Twice the Russian tide swept over it; twice they were beaten back, burning everything behind them, and then country, which is under the domination of the Czar, Wag occupied by the Germans, in whose hands it now is. The Lithuanians are, for the largest part, under arms in the Russian camps, and Germans consider them enemies, and, as such, little help is obtained from that source.

The populace, numbering between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000, passed the rigorous winter with the scantiest clothing and so little food that the deaths from exposure, starvation and illness were counted in thousands. Now that spring has returned and cultivation of the fields is again possible, but always under threat of another Russian descent, the Lithuanians have neither money nor seeds for the work nor implements to perform their labors with. The country is described by those returning from the scene as a land of desolation and indescribable hardship, of ruined homes and devastated farms. Thousands of the inhabitants fled into Russia in the wake of the Russian armies and some made their way as far as Siberia. A few returned and their stories Interested many men of their race, and also the authorities of the dioceses in which the Lithuanians are numerous.

One of the largest colonies of these people in the United States is in the north side of Brooklyn. Among the local members of the national committee are the Rev. Petkus, the Rev. A. M.

On the whole, devotion, courage, contempt of death are very current ware. Every man who has to live within the range of guns must have made the sacrifice of his life. It is the only way to avoid being overcome by the dread of danger.

At least, that is my experience. It takes a man quite some time to reach this point. He at first will be careless and not realize the danger; he will almost think it 1s fun or at least interesting, unless he is plunged. at once into very severe fighting. Then the awful danger of it dawns upon him.

He will try to find security either in his belief in his own good luck, or else in planning such moves as will bring him to a safe shelter in case of bombardment. Yet these shelters are rather scarce; then they are not always near at hand, and even then they don't protect you against the first shells. When this is realized, there 1s a period of worry until death is looked squarely in the face. The thought that such death must usually be instantaneous and painless is certainly a comfort. Then, and although the flesh will naturally shudder when death comes too near, a kind of philosophical calm may be generally maintained.

How the mind works to comtort itself is pleasantly illustrated by the following series of arguments on the theme of 'Don't 'Don't worry because either you are at the front or in the interior. In the interior you don't have to worry; if you are at the front, don't worry because either you are shelled or shot at, frequently or not. If you are not shelled frequently, you don't need to worry. If you are, don't worry because either you manage to escape unhurt or you don't. If you escape unhurt, you don't need to worry; if you get hurt, don't worry because either you are badly hurt or slightly.

If you are slightly hurt you don't need to worry as you are taken to the interior and get rested until you are sent back to the front (in that case see the beginning again to find out why you should not worry). If you are badly wounded, don't worry because either you die or you don't. If you die, you don't worry any more; if you don't why should you worry, as you are, after your cure, generally liberated and have nothing to worry about any "That kind of jesting is frequent. One day I saw filing by regiment of the active. As a rule the men are shy at using 'big words' and expressing heroic sentiments.

They do heroic things, but don't rant over them and turn everything into a laugh. So that day (it was still in winter) while a company was marching away to the trenches, I was somewhat surprised at hearing one of the pollus exclaim very resolutely: 'Nous les which was answered by second: 'Jusqu' au a third: 'Les pieds 'We will get and end! frozen Quite an anticlimax: frozen feet, instead of the 'Boches' that you would have expected."
