SCHOOL BOYS
HELP CENSUS
ABERDEEN OFFERS PRIZES TO
ALL WHO DISCOVER ANY
RESIDENTS NOT ENUM.
GRATED.

Aberdeen, S. DIT the full popu-
lation of Aberdeen is not counted this
spring, for the state census, it will
not be the fault either of the census
takers or the Aberdeen Commercial
club. The city assessor and his as
s!stants, who are in charge of the
work have geen very careful in their
enumeration and have already count
ed in the neighborhood of $4,000 peo-
pie in Aberdeen. But in order to
make sure that everyone is counted,
the commercial club has appointed a
committee consisting of a chairman
and one committeeman from each
ward, to check up the count. This
committee has arranged for calling in
the help of the school boys. Under
the plan, two or three boys will be
chosen from each block. who will re-
port the names of every resident of
the block, from newborn babes up
ward. In blocks where there are no
school boys resident. boys from near
by blocks will be placed on the job,
The average school boy knows every
body in his block anyway, but he
will be required to visit each house
and make a personal investigation,
Then the committee will check off the
blocks as returned by the school boys,
and compare them with the returns
from the census enumerators, and
wherever a boy finds more people in
a block than the census enumerators
did. he will be given a prize. BY this
plan it is believed every man. wo-
man and child in the city will be
counted, and Aberdeen will be accord
ed the population to which she i.
justly entitled.

Washington, ID. C.-The German
ambassador, Count Won Bernstorff,
today gave out for publication the
memorial record and accompany
ing a~ffidavits, issued by the German
government as a White Book on
March 20 last, relating to '~'atrocities
committed by Russian troops on Ger
man civilians and German prisoners
Iof war"
The memorial record summar-
ICES the acts set forth in the eighty
affidavits attached as exhibits, each
accusation being accompanied by a
reference to the numbered affidavit
giving details of the charge. The
memorial record" says:
The Russian troops have commit
ted atrocities during the present war,
which are incompatible with the laws
of humanity and the customs of civil
lied nations, and which evidence the
utter barbarism of their warfare.
These atrocities We're directed against
the peaceful inhabitants of the oc-
cupied German territory, as we'll as
against those German soldiers, who
opposed them in lawful combat and
who had the misfortune of being tax
en- prisoner by them.
1.-The whole world knows that, ow-
ing to the barbaric methods of war
fare employed by the Russians, East
Prussia, once a horishipg country, in
parts now presents a picture of hope
less devastation, and that the peace
full inhabitants were forced to flee
and leave all their belongings in or.
der to save themselves from assault
and murder. 1t has been Officially

Russian expedition against Meme
likewise was nothing more than {
savage raid, accompanied by atroci

give an eloquent but CHASTITY proof Of
the acts of violence and cruelty
which individual inhabitants suffered
at the hands of the Russians.
Numerous citizens were murder
ed without any cause, often undel

their relatives. Young men wer,
shot, not because they had commit

that the ambassador would seek to
elict from President Wilson his views
on how Germany could conduct her

which neutrals hitherto have pos

Princeton Professor Says Labor
Unions Oppose Belgians.

Princeton Professor Says Labor
Unions Oppose Belgians.
The needs, condition and treat
ment TO the Belgian people are recited
in a report which Prof. Howard Nc
Clenahan, dean of Princeton univer-
sity, submitted to President John
! Grier Hibben of the university of his
recent visit to England, Holland and
Belgium. Prof. MeClenahan was sent
abroad by the university authorities
for this purpose.
In England and Holland Dean Nc
Clenahan found that Belgium refu-
gees were treated with every kindness
every effort was being made TO furn-
ish employment, but owing to the op-
position of labor unions I o giving the
Relgians n form of permanent
work, only a few opportunities to
place the Belgians in a position to
help themselves were available.
Holland, Dean McClenahan declar-
ed. was doing relatively more for the
refugees than any other nation. The
Dutch admit, he said that the sup
port of a quarter of a million money
less strangers is a great strain, yet
they declare their determination to
continue the work and decline to re-
ceive aid from the outside.
In Belgium Dean McCleahan said
he was treated with the utmost cour-
tesy by the German military authori-
ties, who permitted him to go every
where except near the firing lines.
Brussels he found almost lifeless,'
the once gay city bearing the appear
ance of wall street on a Sunday
afternoon"

with the single exception of Goa
mining, the industries of Belgium ar,
dead. The mines are worked two o.
three days a week, and according Il
the owners, will continue to be op
