Report to Premier Viviani
Charges Soldiers Acted
Under Orders.
CAPTORS BUTCHERED
THEIR PRISONERS
Ambulances Not Immune from
Fire-Surgeons Arrested and
Split Bullets Used.

Paris, Aug. 1.-THE commission pre-
sided over by Georges Payelle, Presi
dent of the French Court of Accounts,
has presented to Premier Viviani the
final report of its Investigations into
acts on the part of German soldiers in
violation of the rights of man.
This report contains 10000 words
and gives in detail the evidence gath
cred concerning the use by German
troops of military and civilian prison
e:s as shields against the fire of French
troops, as well as of the employment
by the troops of Emperor William of
cartridges in which the bullets were re-
versed in order TO cause more serious
wounds; split bullets, and other bullets
cut to make them more rending.
Ordered to Kill Wounded.
Continuing, the report cites orders
given by General Stenger, commander
of the 5Sth German Brigade, ordering
his soldiers to kill the wounded enemy
and to take no more prisoners. Evil
dence confirming the issuing and the
circulation of this order was obtained
from German prisoners belonging to
the 1l2th and 142d regiments. The re-
port contains also evidence Of the mas
sacre of French soldiers as a result Of
this order, as well as the massacre of
AoI - hot Il
in Belgium.
1t presents the allegations Of many
individual soldiers who declare they
saw their wounded comrades put to
death by a rife shot, a revolver shot,
the thrust of bayonet, or a blow from
the butt of a musket by German SOL
diers. subaltern officers and officers.
Some of the French witnesses testified
that they themselves had been objects
of such aggressive attacks after having
been wounded. and that they had sur
vived.
War Prisoners Abused.
The report devotes considerable space
to allegations of the inhumanity Of the
Germans to heir prisoners of war,
which, it says, is proved by the evidence
of the victims. Many prisoners Of war
have been shot, while others have had
their skulls crushed by blows from the
butt of a musket At St. Die thirty
French prisoners were assassinated in
this manner by Bavarisn troops The
truth of this is vouched for by i've men
who actually W.! Hssed the executions.
Other men who appeared before the
commission declared that they had
found the dead bodies Of a French
patrol numbering seven men, an infan-
try corporal and six privates, with their
hands tied behind their backs and dead
from rife shots. This incident was
further supported by evidence taken
before justice of the peace.
The report ends with three columns
Of evidence to prove the bombardinc of
ambulances by the Germans, the firing
upon stretcherbearers, and the taking
prisoner Of surgeons. In some cases, 1t
is set forth, French surgeons were ar
rested by German surgeons, and by
them sent TO the rear to be informed.
Several cases are cited in which Ger
man wounded, aided by Frenchmen, are
alleged to have taken the opportunity
to Kill those going TO their relief.

Standard Meals
By MARTHA MISSIONER

There is always something to learn
about soup. Presenting you are a
housekeeper, with stock always on
hand, good soup requires little trouble
10 make. The average American man
mates" soup. His wife and his mother
Will tell you so If you suggest II as one
or the staple articles OF diet The
fact of the case Is that our soups full
away below the standard. The reason
men dislike soup is because 1t is
watery and tasteless. That is our own
fault Almost every one will eat vege-
table soup. why? Because you cum
not escape having il taste good" on
account OF the variety Of vegetables
that arc used In it's preparation.
The meats properly used for soups
are: the lower or toughest part of the
round. the shin. and the neck pieces OF
beef, and the knuckle of veal, and
fowls Mutton is properly used only
FOR mutton broth. Bones are OF use
because of the Relntine they contain
Geiatine comes under the head of pro-
TENS and Is not a tissue builder, but
II does produce energy and saves the
body the use of other protein that
might otherwise be used for heat and
energy. SO Il bowl of soup made with
plenty of bone gives US energy to do
the days work, and the rest of the
meal does the actual building OF the
body.
