treadmill and left to starve. Three
hussars were found hanged in a barn
with their heads down and their noses,

must have died in a frightful agony.
Neither did the Russian hordes,
hesitate at the mutilation and muir

Thus they tore the bandages of the
wounded so that they would bleed to
death; pierced out their eyes, cut off

GERMANS RETAL|ATE
WITH STORIES OF
RUSSIAN ATROCITIES

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Washington, May 31.-The German
Ambassador Count Won Bernstorff, to-
day gave out for publication the me
mortal record' and accompanying
affidavits, issued by the German Gov
eminent as a White Book of March
25 last, relating to atrocities COM
mitted by Russian troops on German
civilians and German prisoners Of
war" The ambassador also an
nounced that copies of the document
had been delivered to all the neutral
governments, including the govern
ment of the United States, and that
other copies would be open to inspec-
ton at the German consulates of New
York. Chicago, Philadelphia and San
Francisco.
The memorial record' summarizes
the acts set forth in the eighty af-
fidavits 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 COM
mitted atrocities during the present
war, which are incompatible with the
laws of humanity and the customs Of
civilized nations, and which evidence
the utter barbarism Of their warfare.
These atrocities were directed against
the peaceful inhabitants Of the occu-
pied, German territory, as well as
against those German soldiers, who
opposed them in lawful combat and
who had the misfortune Of being
taken prisoner by them.
''The adjoining docuentary material
shows that these are not isolated
cases Of cruelty and deeds Of vio-
lence. for atrocities of the most
bestial sort have been committed In
so many places and by so many Diff
ference divisions Of troops that un-
doubleday a very great part Of the
Russian army is permeated by a
spirit Of inhuman savagery. A large
number of cases Is already we'll
known, but in the supplements only
such cases will be found as have been
incontrovertibly established by Of
f1cial testimony, particularly testi-
mony on oath, or by official report.
These cases must however be regard :
ed as being only selection Of the in
Vulnerable atrocities actually COM
mitted.
THE whole world knows that, ow-
Ing to the barbaric methods Of war

Marine Collection for Me. Historical
Society.
portland Expressly

portland Expressly
For many years the Maine Historical
Society has filled an important place
in what may appropriately be referred
to as the institutional life of the city,
and great store should be set by every
citizen on the good work which has
been accomplished.
The Society has lately begun a mar
inc collection, dealing with that glor-
ious epoch in the history Of the State
when Maine-built and Maine-owned
ships, differed and manned by Maine
men, sailed to all parts of the world.
Students of history and genealogy
are constantly making use of it's Ii
brary; State and Federal courts are
indebted to it's documentary evidence;
and this has proved Of value to the
general government, particularly in
questions pertaining to the northeast
ern boundary.
1t holds the title to several historic
places in Maine; and it is preserving
in memory Of the great American poet,
the Wadsworth-Longf house in
Portland.
AS an institution, it is a credit to the
State and the Nation; for which rea-
son it is extremely desirable that men,
bers and citizens in general should
visit it more frequently and take a
more active interest in it's needs than
they have done hitherto.
To provide for the writing of Maine
history, to keep the authorities there
for accessible and classified as BELTS
the time, to care properly for priceless
manuscripts and to encourage the
preference Of our people for scholarly
research, it is absolutely necessary that
the limited income Of the Society
should have immediate and substantial
increase. From neither State nor city
does it receive a direct appropriation;
and it's endowment fund is small.
To begin such an increase, the adj
dition of new members is now an OBJ
vious necessity, and with this end in
view the members have been asked to
send the Standing Committee before
the next meeting on Tuesday, April
29th, the names of at least one desir-
able man or woman who wishes to
become a candidate for admission, and
as many more as possible.
In 1901 there were $1,000 domestic
gardeners, and in 1911 there were 49,
7s9 in England and Wales.

ITALIAN
WHO SERVED HIS
KING LONG AND WELL
Portland ArguS)

Portland Argus)
Antonio Urbano Of this city is an
other Italian who can boast of his
service in the regular army of Italy.
having served five years and eight
months in the fourth squadron of the
Sd Regiment Cavalry, Savvia This
was ranked as one of the finest and
best drilled military organizations in
the service at that time, and was
composed only Of picked men, every
soldier being required to pass a very
strict physical examination before be-
ing assigned to that peculiar organi-
cation.
AS an illustration of the strictness
of the examination, Mr.. Urbano was
the only one of nearly 100 drawn from
his village and one Of but % from the
State, selected for the cavalry. He was
required to serve two years, during
which time all of the men were given
thorough instruction in all branches
Of their duties.
The instruction consisted of all
kinds of horsemanship, including fan
cy stunts. such as mounting the horse
while at a full gallop, picking objects
from the ground with the horse going
at full speed. and riding up steep en-
bankments. 1t was such feats won for
the Italian cavalry a front rank in the
armies of Europe. After two years of
service he was required to pass an
other examination and he was then
assigned to the crack Savvia regiment,
which was one Of the few organiza-
lions having the honor to wear the
Savvia cross upon the front of their
helmets and were usually chosen as
escort to the King whenever he ap-
peared upon state occasions. While
serving his third year he was promot-
ed to color corporal Of his squadron
for efficiency, which was as high a
rank as could be obtained by an en-
listed man unless re-enlisted for an
additional three years Of service. At
the end Of his enlistment of four years
he was given his discharge with high
honors for conduct, fidelity and effic-
lency. He then continued for a period
or one year as reservist with a
rank equivalent to that of a sergeant
of the executive staff in this country.
In 1883 he was allowed his final dis
charge and was at that time given the
offer Of course of instruction at a
military institution on condition that
he continue in the service, which with
his service would make him eligible
for a commission. He preferred to
come to this country, and he is now a
respected business man of this CITY,
who has reared a large family of
young Americans

All rural schools are to be placed

same salary as the county commits
soners. the county school superin-
tendent to be the fifth and eX-ufficio
member. This board is 10 appoint a
clerk who is also to be the superir-
tendent's clerk ono school trustee
is to We elected in each district under
this plan, who is to be custodian Of
the school house and of all school
property ana who is 10 be paid the
compensation that now goes TO the
ianitor He Is to be directly under
the control of the county school com
mission which is to appoint all teach
ers, assign them TO their grades and
fix their salaries. a school super
visor is to be appointed who is also
to be truant officer and be under the
direct control of the county school

The measure is to do away with
some of the abuses of the present sys-
tenn, where rural school boards do not
rise 20 their opportunity, appoint
teachers as a matter of favor rather
than for efficiency and fritter away
the school funds. The proposed law
would centrallze school authority, 1t
