anywhere. But when l came to the
DOORWAY of a house that had fallen
in | saw in what probably had been
the living room g, white-haired Wo-
man with kitchen knife raking in
the. debris. Her face was like a gray
stone. and her eyes fixed as in death.
In a front garden, which had been
scorched by the flames, woman in
black dress was crouching and
weeping. l have never heard any
body weep like that woman.
"The sound OF it will ring in my
ears as one of the most terrible expe-
riences of my life.
Curses Those Responsible.
Even the petty losses of property
are painful to see. At one place
blue enamelled child's bedstead peers
out of the smoking debris still filled
with it's scorched mattress and pill
lows. A curse and thrice curse upon
those who caused all this misery.
For them there is no punishment in
this world sufficient. And when they
now denounce our brave warriors as
the cause of this desolation, this lat
ter slander, shameful as it is, does
not weigh much in comparison with
that they actually did.
"Our German soldiers and Land
wehr men marched into the country
of the enemy with the. same order and
discipline they maintain on the drill
ground. Wherever we came We guar
anteed to the inhabitants security for
life and property; we are Waglng war
with the armies of the enemy, not
with civilians.
+ 'Now what happened in Battice,
Clermont, Herbe, Fleeron and other
Belgian places was, with singular
similarity, as follows:
/ The inhabitants let the Germans
march in, received them with crlnglng
friendliness, offered them VIII in su-
perfuous quantities and then fell up
on them at night. 1t goes without
saying that every murdered German
was avenged. Where the murderers
could be caught they were brought be-
fore a court martial and if their guilt
were evident, they were shot or hang
3D.
Brought in For Trial.
Call this was done in perfect or
der. How Jar the self-control of our
troops extends was proved to me by
an example only day before yester-
dav. At the entrance to the French
fortress of Longway, just captured |
saw German soldiers bringing in a
troop of Franc-Tireurs, quite old fel-
lows. and among them few common
thieves, scarcely beyond schoolboZ
age.
i "sWhat did these men?' demanded
an officer.
They put on Red Cross scarfs,
then went upon the battlefield and
mutilated our wounded. We caught
them in the act,' was the reply.
"'Why did you not beat the scoun-
drels to death at once?
"'We dare not do that. They must
be brought before court martial.
'The reader should know what was
the character of this mutilation. The
eyes Of our wounded, lying helpless
upon the battlefield were cut out with
knives. But this was not by far the
most cruel thing these beasts invent
ed. Old and young men and women
were caught as byenas of the battle
field and they received their reward

WARNS THE BANKS,
CHEERS FARMERS
McAdoo Issues Statement on Situa-
tion-Chance for People.

Washington, Sept. PA warning
to national banks which have receiv-
ed government funds to aid crop moy-
ing or which have receied emergency
currency not to charge excessive in
terest rates or TO refuse legitimate
credits, was given tonight by Secre-
tary McAdoo in a formal statement
dealing with the present situation in
the cotton growing States. The sec
retary declared he would not hesi-
tate to withdraw government deposits
from offending banks or to refuse to
issue emergency currency to them.
Aside from this warning Mr.. Nc
Adoo announced there is no reason
for the cotton producer and manu-
sacturer to feel pessimistic. He ex-
pressed the belief that there must
soon be an increased demand for cot
ton and added:
"If the banks, the merchants and
the manufacturers throughout the
South will quit taking counsel of fear
and will go forward with confidence
the situation will, believe, improve
still further"
Complaints have been made 10
me-" said the secretary's statement,
'Ethat some of the national banks
which are receiving national bank
currency are charging excessive rates
of interest on loans, as we'll as restrict
ing credits. I have ordered that
careful investigation be made imme-
diately.
eff l discover depositary banks are
refusing to extend legitimate credits,
or charging excessive rates of inter-
est Ter government funds deposited
with them, or for socalled emergency
currenc y issued them, snail not hes
itate to withdraw government funds
from such banks and to refuse to issue
emergency currency to banks which |
am convinced are not making use of it
upon reasonable terms for the ben
eft of the business community This
applies not only to national banks in
the cotton States, but in all other sec
tons of the country. 1t must be re-
membered that the issuance of this So
called emergency currency rests by
law solely within the discretion of the
secretary of the treasury. l snail not
knowingly exercise that discretion in
favor of any bank or banks which fail
to make use of it at reasonable rates
of interest.
':There is no reason, in my opinion,
for the pessimism which prevails in
many quarters of the South about cot
ton. The assistance which the led
eral government is extending to the
banks through the issuance Of ma
tional bank currency against notes Sc
cured by cotton warehouse receipts,
mas already greatly improved the sit
uation."

Charles Wilson is probably
the most expensive voter in the
United States. He lives ON the
Isthmus off +he coast of Cali
fornia. He is twelve miles from
Avalon, the only town on the is
land. He is the only voter in
his precinct. The state primaries
are approaching and Wilson
claims the right to vote.
The state is going to accommo-
date him. Three citizens will
be sent by launch or stage from
Avalon to the Isthmus, and with
Wilson they will constitute an
election board. Then Wilson
will vote, and the board will add
up his vote and certify the return
That ballot will cost the state
of California 500. And it's pro-
bably worth the money. Amy
state in the union could well af--
ford to- collect few votes at
the same price from citizens
similarly zelous in the exer-
else of their franchise.

prizes his ballot when it is troub-
lesome, and e,xpeukiXe, e,al and ignore

intention Of preserving neutra-

"Sweden firmly intends to

field of about 200 acres Of what

The kernels are large, plump
and sound, and do not apr'sar to-

neighbolhcod, other fields OF
bluestem and fife are badly hit
and scarcely worth cutting. The

Silage is made from corn in
the same manner as kraut is
made from cabbage. The silage
is made from corn which is in
the hard dough stage. 1t is run
through cutter which chops it
into pieces All inch long and
these are run into an air tight
bin called a silo. The chopped
green corn heats and ferments in
the bin, but cannot spoil as it
gets no air. The heating cooks
the corn and renders much Of
the stalk digestible which would
otherwise be Of no value.
Now is the time to start work

the work himself, good pit silo
can be made for a cash outlay
