Food Distributor Appeals
TO Farmers Wives to
Divide Supply.
PLEA FOR CHILDREN
IN THE BIG CITIES
Wounded Soldiers, Work
ers and Fighters Must All
Have Nutriment.

Amsterdam, Aug 2s-Adolph Won
Batocki, president of the German Food
Regulation Beard, has issued an appear
TO the women Of rural Germany TO
divide their food with the women and
children OF the towns and cities.
3D.. Herr Won Batocki. in his appeal. says
that the harvest this year is. in gen
eraI. abundant and that the cattle have
recovered from the effects OF the fod-
der scarcity Of last Winter, which was
caused by the failure of crops last
year.
But with the maintenance OF pro-
duction," he adds. "all is not done Inc
produce must be rightly distributed
to those who require it. Millions OF
soldiers are engaged in the hardest
of warfare. They must be well ana
aboundantly fed.
Needs of the Wounded.
"Hundreds of thousands lie wounded
in the hospitals and need abundant
good food. Other millions of men
and women in big towns and in mines
are also working Loyalty for victory
They wish like YOU to have enough TO
cat in order TO be able to work. biKc
YOU, they have children who cry wheh
their mothers cannot give them neces-
sary food, and their parents then lose
the strength and courage for WORK
Both for the soldiers and Tor those
who fight in workmen's clothes we must
provide nourishment People on tne
land must give for that purpose al
they can dispense with In their own
households. No soldier. no wounded
man, no munition worker, no German
woman, no German child in the towns

Of the danger that threatens every
German man, woman and chlld II tne
enemy's starvation plan should sue

Restrictions Are Needed.
Restrictions everywhere are neces-
fary and all the more necessary the
longer the war lasts. These restric,
tions must be increased for rural
households. Anyone living on the land
who consumes even half litre Of milk
or a quarter of a pound more of but
ter or even an egg more than is
absolutely necessary, sins against the
Fatherland An organization will be
created in order to buy up all butter,
eggs. vegetables. etc, that can be dis
pensed with in the country and use
them to feed the army and the poorer
families in the big towns.
Little can be accomplished by force
or by continual increase in prices
(which have already become eXhorbi-
tant for many Of the poorer families.
Only through rational. spontaneous
patriotic cooperation of the rural pop
rlatinn can the object be attained"

ASSERTS FRENCH
STAY PRISONERS
Berlin Charges That the
Troops Exterminate Ger
mans in Trenches.

Berlin, Aug. 26 by wireless to Say
vile, N. Y).-The charge that the
French have an organized force whose
duty it is TO exterminate all the Ger
mans found in captured trenches is
made in statement to-day by the
Overseas News Agency, as follows:
"The French some time ago intro
duced a new fighting system which is
the most cowardly and fragrant viola
ton of the laws Of war developed up to
this time. Coincident reports confirm
the fact, not known until now, that
within companies special detachments
have been formed with express orders
to remain behind in captured trenches
and extermnate all Germans yet alive.
"These troops are called 'nettoyeurs'
cleaners or sweepers). Their equip
ment is not the rife, cartridges and
bayonet of other soldiers, but the re-
volver, knife and hand grenade.
Says Grenades Are Used.
"When the French storming column
succeeds in crossing a trench the net
toyeurs enter the trench and start the
work Of clearing the trenches of all the
living. Hand grenades are thrown in
the dugouts, where there are often
wounded men. Those who escape from
the hand grenades are killed by revolt
yer and knife when they attempt to
come out. This terrible slaughter is
continued from man TO man. Every
man, whether wounded or not, whether
armed or not, is merciessly stabbed or
shot"
The pews agency declares that let
ter written by French sergednt-major
describes the work of the nettoyeurs,
and comments that in spite of his be-
ing a veteran Of African campaigns he
was Mortified by their methods.
The nettOyeurs are operating by or
der of the commander in chief of the
French armies, the statement says, this
fact being demonstrated by an army or
der found on dead French soldier
which gave details as 10 the movements
of these detachments for an attack on
September 25. 1915. the date of the be-
ginning Of the offensive of the Allies
last fall.
Gives Corporal's Statement.
"a former corporal of the Fourth
Company Of the Greek Legion of the
French army, Adolf Levy" the news
agency statement continues. ION July
26, 1915. made the following voluntary
statement before the Austro- Hungarian
Consul General at Salonica: THE Greek
Legion. stationed seven kilometres from
Bots de Folie. was preparing for an at
tack on the following day. The officers
gave the command TO take no prisoners
and to kill the wounded The sergeants
distributed knives specially made for
this purpose.
, "'On July 16, during an attack on
Souchez. saw with my own eyes sew
eral cases in which Germans who had
thrown down their arms in trenches we
had entered were killed mereilessly
with knives"

FROM CHICAGO TO NEW YORK

Victor Carlstrom, the aviator who
undertook to fly from Chicago to New
York between sunrise and sunset,
failed in his first attempt, but he new
ertheltss performed a notable feat.
Flying from Chicago to Erie, Pa, in
four hours and seventeen minutes,
Carlstrom not only established new
American nonstop record, but prov
ed clearly that but for the trivial ac-
cident of leak in his gasoline tank
he would have completed the trip on
schedule time. The aviator finished
his journey, after spending the night
at Hammondsport, N. Y, and is to be
credited with demonstrating more
clearly than ever before in this coun-
try that the aeroplane is capable of
infinite development, and that Ameri
ca can produce machines and aviators
second to none. The New York Times,
under whose auspices the flight from
Chicago was made, is to be congratu-
lated upon the success of the under
taking, and commended for its enter
prise in stimulating interest in the
development of aviation in this coun-
try.

doubled energy upon the materials OF

The following illuminating article
on Latin was purploined from the
columns of the Spectator, in order to
make up for the lack of school news
this week:
Why We Love Our Latin
Don't we all love to pick up nice
fat volume of Caesar and sit down for
an hours enjoyment? How clear
and interesting is the campaign in
Gaul! With what simple straight
forwardness does he tell about build
ing his cute little bridge! How vital
ly interesting to us are his clever
dealings and battles with --* and
the --*. This is what we get out
of it: Caesar on one hand neverthe-
less had intended moreover to make a
march certainly in order that for the
purpose Of preparing the grain that
on the other side of the river lying to
the north henceforth and flowing to
the western part of the land with a
strong current yet for the most part
Caesar sent on the last march where
the fields had been laid waste on all
sides and the carts and villages burn
ed to the ambassadors who had come
with sausages (pardon, we mean hos
tages) from Helvetii who were living
in lands full of grain near the noun
tains." Aren't you thrilled? Isn't
it exciting? All we have to say is
that it's a good thing Caesar was
stabbed when he was or he might
have written more.
