Belgian Commission, Tells Of
Atrocities
WOUNDED COLONEL is SHOT
Eleven Men Driven Into Ditch Mt
Point of Bnyonet and Then
Their Brains Beaten Out
with Butts of Guns.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA partial list of
the alleged German atrocities in Belgium,
against which the Belgian King has sent
a protest to President Wilson was made
public today by Count Louis De LIGHTER
velde secretary of the Belgian commits
sion bearing the protest.
The commission reached this city on
its way to Washington
AT Linsmeau. when the Germans en-
tered the village, two uniformed gen
darmes attacked the Germans" the
count said. 'In revenge the village was
invaded on the night of August 10. Two
farms were destroyed; the crops were de-
stroyed or carried away; six houses were
burned and all the men were compelled
to hand over their arms.
1T was found that none had been dis
charged recently, and finally the men
were separated into three detachments
Two of the attachments disappeared. A
third, consisting of eleven men, was
driven at the point of the bayonet into
ditch and when they were piled in, the
German soldiers set on them and beat
their brains out with the butt ends of
their rifles. The eleven battered bodies
were found later by Belgian troops.
Blew CoIOneI's Head OFF.
ION August u, after enc battle OF Velen,
Colonel Won Damme, commander of a
Belgian regiment, was lying wounded on
the battlefield. He was unable to move.
| Several German soldiers found him, and,
| placing their revolvers against his mouth,
blew his head off
AT Bouceles the German troops went
into battle carrying the Belgian flag.
I ION August 10 the German cavalry
raided the town of Velen while the inhab-
itants slept. One instance of what they
| did may be cited in the case of a man
named Deglimme, whose house was fired
and looted. He and his wife were taken
from the house half naked. She was
dragged away in one direction, he in
another She was released when two
miles away and told to run. When she
ran the German soldiers fired at her, but
she escaped the bullets and staggered
back to the site of her ruined home in a
pitiabe condition. Her husband also
was released and fired on when he ran
He was found mortally wounded next day
on the road outside the town"
Count ichtervelde said he had read the
statement attributed to the German en-
peror, in which it was said that harsh
treatment of Belgians was made neces
sary in some cases because Belgian civ
fians fired on German soldiers. II dom

Lime Not Needed for
All Crops.

We have so persistently talked
about the necessity of applying
lime to acid soil that we feat
many of our readers have come
to the conclusion that all crops
require an abundance of lime in
the soil If they are to do well.
Alfalfa and red clover require an
abundance of lime in the soil,
and wheat, timothy, blue grass,
and barley appreciate lime. Most
of the other farm crops, however,
will thrive on acid soil provided
other conditions are right. Corn
and potatoes really do not seem
to care whether soil is acid or
rich in limestone. Oats stand
soil acidity fairly we'll, although
they prefer a limestone soil.
Millet and buckwheat do splen.
didly on acid soil, while straw
berries, blackberries and rasp-
berries seem to prefer a soil that
is poor in lime.
Some men think that all le-
gumes require limestone if they
are to do we'll. 1t is certain that
red clover and alfalfa must have
an abundance of limestone, but
a great many of the other le-
gumes seem to be Indifferent.
Cowpeas, hairy vetch, soy beans,
alsike, and crimson clover seem
to do very nicely in acid soil.
1t may be eventually that we
will come to depend upon crops
resistant to acid conditions, rath-
or than 60 to the expense of
hauling in large quantities of
limestone. At present, however,
with a great abundance of lime
stone everywhere over the coun-
try, the logical thing would
seem to be to apply limestone so
that we can grow alfalfa and
clover. Alfalfa and clover are
at the base of all general farm
ing rotations in the corn belt,
which are at the same time per-
manent and profitable. Practi-
cally all cultivated soils growing
clover or alfalfa successfully re-
luire the application of limestone
sooner or later.-Wallaces' Far.
