The soldiers were kindiest in their
treatment. Officers came around daily
and asked if she were comfortable; if
she had enough bed clothing to keep
herself and her child warm, and Of
fered food from their army mess if it
was needed. Owing to the war with
England, she was not permitted to
cross the frontier into Germany
again.
During our trip from Cologne to
Berlin we passed 78 military trains in
"a hours. Everything passed off like
clock work.
Although we were in the center
of things, we can only testify to the
greatest courtesy and consideration
of every German with whom we came
in contact. Despite congestion at the
railroad stations, the officials were
never too busy to help us and the SOL
diers gave us the kindliest treatment.
It's an experience we wouldn't want
again and yet wouldn't have missed
for worlds"

elites to German wounded at the
hands of Belgiums to whom they
were left for treatment.
From what we saw ourselves and
our talk with the German wounded,
we are convinced there is much more
truth in the German charges of Bel
gian inhumanity and violation OF the
rules of civilized warfare than the
Belgian charges against the kaiser's
troops. Possibly this Belgian cruelty
brought terrible retribution from the
enraged German soldiers. That is
conceivable.
1.-THE peasants in Dolhain were
passive and sullen. But those in near
by villages we're said to be ferocious
against the invaders. We were near
the town of Wise which has since been
burned by the Germans because of
the constant harassing of Germans
by villagers. ......
"As the roar of cannon continued
and a constant stream of German
troops poured through Dolhain, we
began to get uneasy. Food was be-
coming scarce. We went to the Ger
man frontier, but were refused per
mission to cross back on German soil
and then came back to the village of
Carried.
"The German captain commanding
the guard there was kindness itself.
He tried to do everything for our
comfort and finally wrote us a pass
on a sheet torn from pocket note
book. That was veritable life saver
for US. 1t enabled us to cross to
German soil again. We went to AK la
Chappelle,
1.-The American consul there, to
whom we applied for passports, said
our German army officers pass was
more potent than anything he could
supply. We had the police stamp this
sheet of note paper, and it took us to
Berlin without trouble"
Miss Park was enthusiastic in her
praise of the courtesy of German sol

Why Light From the Left Side.

illumination should come from the lett

Sarded. lie: any one who considers
the matter OF little Importance once
demonstrate to himself the difference
and he viii never forget it. Take Il
pencil and paper and Try TO write
while i'll such position that the light
will tall from the right side. The
shadow OF the hand or pencil or both
is thrown on the paper in such a way
as partly to cover the characters one
is making. This necessitates a closer
Viewpoint and conscious strain on
the eyes. Now let the position OF the
writer be reversed so that the light
falls ON the work from the left side.
He will notice that the shadows fall
away from the work he is doing and
leaves the field unobscured In max
Ing the change he cannot help but
notice the feeling of ease that imme-
uiately is experienced by the eyes.
This applies to any other kind OF near

How Germany Is Fed.


The main point will be, how is Ger

stuifs, meats. fresh vegetables and
fruit, the first two as necessities for
life the last as Indispensable for the
health OF the people? Now, taking
The average year, we can say, count
ing wheat and rye together land as
information for the American | must
add that rye bread is the bread OF
Germany. there is a deficiency Of L.
100000 to l,250.000 OF tons that Ger
many does not raise herself. which is
about per cent OF the total consump-
tcn. This will probably have to be
replaced By some other foodstuif and
the one that is presenting itself is the
potato. the average crop OF which il
about 50,0OU00o tons. but this year
we have as much as S0,000.U0U tons.
In the last year the art OF presery
ing the potato has been a great prob
lem in Germany. For q long time the
military authorities had offered Il pre-
MUM for q good method OF preserv
Ing potatoes. This premium has now
been withdrawn, as the question can
be considered as having been solved.
There are various methods OF pre-
serving them. In the first place they
are being cut in very small slices and
dried, the same rwayt2S the California
dried vegetables are offered in these
markets. Then they have been con-
ve,ted into a most nutritious -four,
which has heretofore been used to
make cake and pastry. and this will
now be added to the bread up to 20
per cent.
Now. it must be understood that
S0.QD0.oo0 tons OF potatoes means just
about Il ton and a quarter per head OF
the German population, equivalent TO
about four pounds day all the year
round lor each German, women ant
children included. This potato crop has
heretofore been mostly worked into
alcohol, partly for consumption in in
dustries. partly for beverages. But
there is a very determined war being
conducted in Germany against alec
hoic beverages and no soldier has
been permitted even a drink OF beer
> !IiS tiit EIS utiy VI
Then. OF course, the food needs OF
the population will always have the
over any use OF alcohol III
The arts Thus there will be large
surplus. which will more than make
up any deficiency in wheat or rye.
But that is not al all the end of it.
Germany has been raising an aver
age of 100000 tons of sugar. where |
