The Germans stationed in Brest have done wonders in cleaning up the city. Each ruined house has been thoroughly gone over. The debris has been removed or nearly so, and each object not utterly destroyed by fire which is still usable in one way or another has been rescued.
 The forts, which the Russians blew up with dynamite and which were val ued at three hundred million francs Approximately s6O.OOO,OOO are still heaps of cement and stone, broken and crumbling. There is no activity dis cernible that would indicate that the Germans are attempting to restore the Qualifications for their own pur- poses.

BREST-LITOVSK, Russia, May 1, For almost the first time in history the Jews of this district have an op- portunity to show whether or not they can become agriculturalists.
 When the Russians evacuated the city and set it on fire they took with them thousands of the Jewish popula- tion Great numbers died, others kept on ahead of the retreating Russians, and still others hid in the woods, and then, penniless and hungry, streamed back into the region again.
 For a time the Germans attempted to house them in the ruined city. But they have all now been sent out to the abandoned farms, where their work is regularly inspected by German off cials. Every possible assistance is given them in the hope that they may raise good crops and do their share toward helping out the need in Pol and. The land in this section is fer tile, and with proper cultivation and care should bear a big crop.
 This city itself still remains the next thing to a city of the dead. Five sixths or whereabouts of the houses are nothing but gaping walls within which stand only the remains of the remarkable Russian stoves which stand even after chimneys Crumble and fall.

II wish he had to eat every
bite of it raw" was a remark
heard just after a speeding auto
ist had smashed a big fine Rhode
Island Red rooster IN front of
Mr.. G. F. Evans home three
miles east of town one day last
week. They have killed my
pigs and my cats and my chick
ems. and 1 am tired of it," said
Mr.. Evans in discussing the mat
ter. "And l think l shall see
what the law can do with them,
too"
The road at that place has been
good, and motorist have .disre-
garded the rights of Mr.. Evans
and family. Speeding at that
point had been a very common
thing. The house is near the
road on one side and the barn
on the other, thus making it
very dangerous to 90 by like a
tornado.
But unless Mr.. Evans tries the
law on some of those who have
already offended. there is little
probability that he will get to
use much law on 'em. Just on
this side the house and just the
other side he has placed ridges
of clay across the road eight or
ten feet apart and six or eight
inches high, sufficiently large to
make it very uncomfortable for
the fellow who attemps to go by
like cannon ball.
