STOP FOREST FIRES
United States Forestry Service
Seeks Public's Cooperation.
Ten "Don'ts" to Be Observed In tho
Woods to Prevent the Biazes
Which Are Causing Big
Losses In East.

Washington. TO obtain the CO
operation of the public in preventing
forest fires, which are doing a great
deal of damage in the East this
spring the United States forest serv.
ice has prepared ten '.don'ts" TO be
observed in the woods. 1t is hoped
that these rules may have a beneficial
effect during the fire season of the
southern Appalachians. which is not
yet over. and that of the North woods,
which is just beginning, and which
from present indications. promises to
be unusually severe.
The "don'ts' follow:
/. Don't throw your match away un
til you are sure 1t is out
2. Don't drop cigarette or cigar
butts until the glow is extinguished.
3. Don't knock out your pipe ashes
while hot or where they will fall into
dry leaves or other infammable ma
terial.
4. Don't build camp fire any larger
than is absolutely necessary.
5. Don't build fire against n tree.
a log, or a stump. or anywhere but
on bare soil
6. Don't leave a fire until you are
sure 1T is out; If necessary. smother
1t with earth or water.
7. Don't burn brush or refuse in or
near the woods II there is any chance
that the fire may spread beyond your
control, or that the wind may carry
sparks where they would start new
fire.
8. Don't be any more careless with
fire in the woods than you are with
fire in your own home.
.. Don't be idle when you discover
a fire in the woods IL you cant put
It out yourself get help. Where a
forest guard, ranger or state fire war
den can be reached, call him up on
the nearest telephone you can find.
10. Don't forget that human thoughr-
lessness and negligence are the causes
of more than half of the forest fires
in this country, and that the smallest
spark may start a conflagration that
will result in loss of life and destruc-
tion of timber and young growth valu-
able not only for lumber but for their
influence in helping to prevent flood.

Many thousands of acres of forest

Horrors Detailed.
BY OSWALD r. scHuETTE.

Correspondent of the Chicago News)
Berlin, Germany.-The, German gov
ernment has issued an official me-
mortal to the civilized world setting
forth series of atrocities committed
by Russian troops upon German in
habitants and German prisoners of
war"
The memorial is accompanied by doc
umentary evidence in the shape of 81
an1davits setting forth the testimony
on which the charges are based They
are far too horrible for publication
All are to be used against Rus
sia whenever peace negotiations are
begun to halt any possibility of an ex-
tension OF the Russian government in
Europe. The memorial already has
called forth indignant denials from
London.
In part the atrocity record is as fol-
lows:
According to official investigations.
thousands of men, women and chill
dren were dragged away. other thou
sand murdered. about 10000 buildings
were destroyed or burned during the
first and second Russian invasions OF
East Prussia. During the second in
vasion alone $4,000 dwellings were
plundered and desolated.
"The inhabitants, including women
and children. were mishandled under
the most flimsy pretexts or for no rea-
son at all. although they did all they
could to satisfy the Russian soldiers
regarding quarters and supplies. This
mistreatment was sometimes carried
out with extreme cruelty; in one case
the male inhabitants of an entire vii
lage, including the district Judge,
were fiogged and at the same time
threatened with death. Fugitives were
fired upon without any motive. But
above all, many peaceful citizens were
murdered without any reason what
ever. some enduring terrible suffering
in the presence of their relatives. In
nocent young men were shot merely
because they were able to perform
military service.

The murder of little child be-

particularly cruel. Investigations show

another instance the tongues of the

THE cases OF attack upon young
girls and women are innumerable.
Information regarding the cruel
treatment of German prisoners of war
by the Russian troops will be found in
additional appendices. In numerous
cases German soldiers who were taken

otherwise i'll treated without any rea-

some German soldiers with death be-
cause they would not betray their com

prisoners in narrow excavations before
their gun positions, apparently with
the intention that they should be
Cossacks have slashed off the heads
OF German prisoners as they rode by,
and others were badly injured; some
were manned by having their limbs
cut off. One German prisoner was
bound to horse gin In a most cruel
manner and allowed to starve to death.
Ihree hussars were found in a barn
hanging with their heads down and
noses and ears cut of, indicating that
they must have died in excruciating
agony.
Russian soldiers have also not hesi.
tated to murder and barbarously main
wounded German soldiers. They have
removed bandages from the wounded
that they might bleed to death; others
eyes have been stabbed out: tongues,
ears. fingers and feet have been cut
off and skulls crushed in.
In some cases these brutal deeds
have been performed with fiendIsh
cruelty: Illustrative of this, lightly
wounded soldier was found secured to
the floor of veranda by a bayonet
stuck through the mouth, the flesh of
the lower arm was stripped off from
elbow to wrist the fingers were slit up

had received skull injury was SO

time the animal moved its mouth the
exposed brain of the soldier was
rubbed.

male inhabitants over ten years OF age
should be driven before the attacking
