French Report Declares Gen.
eraI Stenger Gave Order to
Kill Wounded CaptiveS and
Massacre Resulted.

Paris, Augh 3.-The commission pre-
sided over by Georges Payelle, presi-
dent of the French court Of accounts,
has been presented to Premier VivLani
the final report of It's investigation into
acts upon the part of German soldiers
in violation Of the rights of a
This report contains $4,000 words and
gives in detail the evidence gathered
concerning the use by German troops
OF military and civilian prisoners as
shields against the fire Of French
troops. as we'll as of the employment by
the troops Of Emperor william or
cartridges in which the bullets were
reversed, in order to cause more ser1-
Gus wounds; split bullets and other bull
lets cut to make them more rending.
Continuing the report cites orders
given by General Stenger, commander
Of 58th German brigade, directing his
soldiers to kill h wounded enemy and
to take no mole prisoners. Evidence
confirming the issuing n the circu-
lation of this order was obtained from
German prisoners belonging to the
111th and 1920 regiments. The report
contains evidence of a massacre OF
French soldiers as a result of this or
der as we'll as the massacre of wounded
men after the battle of Feth in Bel
GUM. 1t reports allegations of many
individual soldiers who declare they
saw their wounded comrades put to
death.
The report devotes considerable space
to allegations of the inhumanity of Ger
mans to their prisoners OF war which
1t says Is proved by the evidence Of the
victims. Many prisoners of war have
been shot. while the skulls Of others
we're crushed by blows from the butt
of q musket. At st. Die, the report
says, 80 French prisoners were as
s~assinated in this manner by Bavarian
troops. The truth OF this is vouched
for by five men who claim they actual
ly Witnessed the executions.
The report concludes with three col
umns of evidence TO prove the bonn
harding OF ambulance by the Germans;
the firing upon stretcher bearers, and
the taking prisoner of French sur
geons. In some cases, ii is set forth,
French surgeons were arrested by Ger
man surgeons and by them sent to the
rear to be informed.
Several cases are cited in which Ger
man wounded. succored by Frenchmen,
are alleged to have taken the opportu-
nifty to kill those going to their relief.

dict the Cologne Gazette says:
Pope Benedict has erected to his
memory a lasting monument deserving
the great gratitude of mankind far be-
yond that of Catholic circles, but Is met
in London, Paris, Rome n P~etrograd
with a sharp no. Meanwhile Germany
grasps her sword still faster and is
ready to deal heavier blows to accom-
plish what religion M humanity are

GERMAN.AMER|CAN
ASHAMED, HE SAYS
Philadelphia ResentS Shipment
of Arms to Allies and Would
Tear Up Declaration of
Independence.

San Francisco. Aug. 2.-Thousands
of delegates to the convention of the
National German-American alliance are
gathering in San Francisco today. The
convention will continue over Friday.
Thursday will be German day at the
fair. .,.
At a meeting preliminary to the
opening of the convention of the Ma
tional German American alliance, the
president, DR.. c. F. Mexamer, OF Phil
adelphia, took occasion to criticise the
United States for supplying var mu-
millions to England.
II must say I have not been proud
Of my country lately" he said. "a ma
ton which prays for peace on Sundays
and supplies England with arms and
ammunition all the rest of the week is,
to say the least, ~hypocritical.
" must confess that l, as a native
born American, am nauseated by the
lick -spittle policy Of u country. Eng
lish ships patrol our waters, England
forbids us to- buy ships, and to trade
with neutral nations as we would like;
England cuts the cables leading from
our shores to those Of a friendly nation,
and England decides for our secretary
OF state what news he shall impart to
US American citizens, who employ and
pay him. From the way most war re-
ports read, we might just as well tear
up the Declaration of independence
and become loyal subjects of King
George"
After the formal reception a curtain
Of the platform Of the hall was raised,
revealing a huge wooden representa-
ton of the iron cross.
Announcement was made that 35, 900
nails, some Of iron, and others of silver,
would be sold, the buyers to have the
privilege Of driving them into the
cross. " 80. ....
The proceeds OF the sale will de-
voted to the relief Of German war vic
tins.

IMPORTANT NOTES
German Reply In Frye Case
and British Supplemental
Note on Shipping
Arrive.

Washington. Aug. 3.-Germanys
reply to the last American note on the
sinking Of the American ship William
P. Frye by the auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich began to arrive today
- the state departmest. Time for its
publication will be arranged later.
Germany is contendlng for her right
to destroy and pay for the Frye under
h Prussian-American treaty of 1923.
The United States denies the right to
destroy the ship. There appears to be
no question Of the payment of repara-
ton by Germany, but there is a ques-
ton over whether 1t shall be paid d.
rectly by diplomatic exchanges, or shall
go through O prize court. Germany
takes the latter view.
Germany's reply to the last American
note on the sinking of the sailing ship
William p. Frye by the orinz Eitel
Friedrich, received here today, is I'M
derstood to reiterate her contention
that under the Prusslan- American
treaty OF 1928 Germany may continue
to destroy American ships carrying
contraband,. If she pays for them.
Germany declines to accept the
American contention that the treaty
protects the ships from destruction and
holds 1t Is only necessary to pay dam
ages after a prize court determines the

Great Britain's supplemental note In
reply to American representations on
interference with neutral shipping
reached h state department today
and will be published in Wednesday
morning newspapers, with the note re-
ceiVed last week on the same subject
and a third note regarding detention Of
h American steamer Neches, which
also arrived today.
Secretary Lansing said the supple
mental note was a reply to the caveat
sent by the United States on July IT,
declaring this government would not
recognize the validity Of prize court
proceedings taken under restraints i'm
posed by British law in derogation Of
the rights Of American citizens under
international law.
Officials would not discuss the Brit
ish communications. Objection had
been made by the British authorities to
publication of any portion until the
notes are released by arrangement be-
tween the governments.
The steamer Neches, which forms the
basis Of the third note, involves the
right Of a belligerent to seize goods
originating in an enemy country or
even in a neutral country adjacent to
the enemy country and supposed to be
subject to it's influence. but destined for
another neutral country. Heretofore
the broad principles Of international
law have regarded such goods as
passing through the blockade lines, and
so far the United States has declined
to recognize any blockade Of the North
sea. The supplemental note is under
stood to defend the British action in
the Neches case.

This is a recent discovery OF Doctor

Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other elimiuator of uric
acid that can be compared to it, For
those easily recognized symptoms OF
inf1ammation-as backache, sCalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or if uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it is simply wonderful how sure
ly "An-urie' acts. The best Of re-
suits are always obtained in cases of
acute rheumatism in the joints, in
gravel and govt, and invariably the
pains and stiffness which so frequent
~ and persistently accompany the
/ disease rapidly disappear

"An-uric" manufactured by Dir Pierce,

Discolored or Spotty
Skin Easily Peeled Off

The freckling, discoloring or rough
enlng to which most skins are subject
at this season, may readily be gotten
rid Of Mercolized wax, spread lightly
over the face before retiring and re-
moved in the morning with soap and
water, completely peels off the disfig-
ured skin. Get an ounce of the wax at
any druggists. There's no more eff
fective way of banishing tan, freckles
or other cutaneous defects Little skin
particles come off each day, so the pro-
cess itself doesn't even temporarily
mar the complexion, and one soon ac-
quires brand new, spotless, girlishly
beautiful face.
Wrinkles caused by weather, worry
or illness, are best treated by a sim
pie solution of powdered saxolite, l o.,
dissolved in u pint witch hazel. Bath
ing the face in this produces a truly
marvellous nsformation.-Adv.
