MAKES GERMANS FIGHT

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 12.-Miss Willie
C. Davis, daughter of MIR. and Mrs. C.

Germany with an interesting story of
the German attitude on the war.
Miss Davis declares the patriotism
of the German people is wonderful and
that their devotion to the fatherland
cannot be expressed in mere words.
"The Germans really deplore the
war;" she said "They were anxious
for peace all the time, but it would
hardly be possible to find in all the
empire a man who would not gladly
give his life for his country 1t is

LONDON, Sept. 12.-One of the
most vivid accounts of an episode of
the war comes from the Lokal Anzei-
ger of August "a. 1t is letter from
Paul Hoecker, a Berlin playwright,
now serving as captain of the reserve.
His play, "a Nation in Arms" is being
given at the Berlin opera house.
He describes a mission on which he
was dispatched to search for arms in
Belgian villages from which shots had
been fired by civilians on the Germans.
His instructions were that those in
whose possession arms were found aft
Ell they declared that they had none,
were to be shot.
At Jungbusch, he says, he found al
one house an old man, woman and a
girl of thirteen.
Then terrible thing happened. A
sergeant and private dragged q
young fellow out of the house. They
had found him hiding among the
straw in the loft. He had in hi;
