SEES NO Atrocities IN BELGIUM,
SAYS NEWSPAPER correspondent

ties, If there were such, we're more
likely to have been committed by Bel
gians than by Germans. This is so
because the Belgian hold that the
German Struck below the belt" by
violating their solemn treaty to re-
spect and defend the neutrality of Bel
GUM. Besides, the Belgians, with a
nation small and weak, felt that any
thing would be pardonable against
the powerful and merciless invader.
The stories of wanton cutting OF
OF noses, hands, arms and legs strike
me as probably imaginary and orig.
mating only in half-delirious brains
Some one may turn up tomorrow with
evidence to confound me, but my ex-
periences and investigations force
upon me this opinion.
Says the 5eIalans "sniped."
That Belgians "sniped" German
soldiers undoubtedly is true. This
happened at Louvain and elsewhere.
as l have ascertained from both Ger
mans and Belgians OF veracity, The
Belgians defend their action. They
assert that the Germans illegally and
UNANIMOUSLY invaded them and wrecked
their civilization, giving them the
right to punish the enemy in whatever
way their feeble powers would permit.
l do not find that the German sol
diers are savages. On the contrary,
l have seen them searching the fields
before Antwerp for Belgian wounded
who had lain out all day and all night.
have seen them gathering up these
victims OF war and transporting them
to hospitals with all tenderness and
sympathy. 1t seemed to me that they
dealt more tenderly with wounded
Belgians than with their own wounded.
Girl Who Fires on Troops Slain.
l founo only one German who had
done an act that he deeply deplored.
He was a young fellow who had been
employed in a Berlin drapery shop.
At Wise, Immediately after he had en-
tered Belgium and before he had had
an opportunity to kill any one In bat
tie, a beautiful girl rushed into the
street and began to fire into the
the German ranks from an automatic
pistol.
An officer detached 3 squad to deal
with the girl, ordering that she be
killed The Berlin man, followed by
his comrades, chased the girl into a
house, thrust his bayonet through her
body and pinned her against wall.

women and girls have been assaulted
than that any other form of atrocity
has been committed.

THE TRUTH
ABOUT PAUPERISM
Comparison Of Pauperism in
Dry and Wet States Based
on the Census of 1910
(By Ernest H. Cherrington.)


The liquor corporation agents oper.
ating in Washington. in an effort to
save the traffic In drunkenness, are
putting out all sorts of fake statistics.
garbled statistics and statistics manu-
featured out of whole cloth, trying to
prove that the dry policy promotes
pauperism. In other statements, the
liquor people claim that .pauperism is
not caused by drink anyhow. In these
faxed statistics, the claim is made
that, owing to the dry program. the
people drink themselves into pauper-
ism. They try to prove that In the
wet states the people drink them
selves into prosperity.
These faxed and distorted statistics,
like the forged utterance against pro
hibition by Abraham Lincoln. are be-
ing printed In newspapers, circulars.
on bill boards and in every conceiva-
BILE place.
