THE purpose of the mission is to
acuuaint the American people, and
through them the whole world. with the
truth about the German armH's dis
regard of the laws of God and man.

were so incredible on the part of ma
ton Of such high civilization and
culture that our King appointed spe-
cial board of inquiry. embracing some
of our most distinguished judges and

the creation of the present mission of
protest for the facts proved worse than
The rumors.

the case of twospcasants near piost, on
