THE LAND OF
THE KNOUT.

One of the many means resorted to
by Germans to incense people against
Russia was the fact the knout is used
in the realms of the Gar against GER
tain offenders. The civilized world
has for many years protested against
this cruel means Of correction, and it
is about to pass away in the light of
the twentieth century. The Germans
however, with their Couture" are
charged with using the same instru-
ment in the war now in progress. Ac-
cording to Paul Capellant, the French
actor, German officers carry these
reapons of torture in order to force
their soldiers from the trenches. Men
bearing the marks of the knouts have
been captured and examined by the
allies. Such have always rejoiced In
being captured by the enemies OF the
