GERMANS CHARGE FOE
SLAUGHTER WOUNDED
French Have New Corps Whose
Duty is to Massacre, News
Agency Says

BERLIN (via wireless to Sayville), Aug.
26.-Charges that the French have intro4
duced new body of men whose sole duty
is to assassinate all living German soldiers
in conquered trenches with knives, revol-
vers and hand grenades, were made in
statement given out today by the Semiofii-
cial News Agency.
The statement was headed "Baralongs of
the Trenches" recalling the killing of Ger.
man submariners by the crew of the British
Baralong
''The French some time ago introduced
a new fighting system which is the most
cowardly and fragrant violation of the laws
of war known up to the present, II was
stated. Within French companies special
detachments are formed with the express
order to remain behind in conquered trenches
and kill all Germans still alive.
These troops are called 'Netteyeurs'
Their equipment is not the rife. cartridge
and bayonct of the other soldiers. but the
knife, revolver and hand grenade. When
a French storming column succeeds in talk
ing trench the Netteyeurs start clearing
the trench of all living persons; that is
assassinating the Germans. Hand grenades
are thrown into dugouts where often there
are wounded men. Those who escape the
grenades are killed by revolver shots and
knives 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 merclessly stabbed
or shot"

GRAIN FAMINE THREATENING DUTCH;
BRITISH SEIZE SHIPS, SAYS VAN DYKE
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2e.

ID RITISH warships, under direct or
II ders from the Admiralty, now are
holding up and seizing all grain car
goes destined to consignees in the
Netherlands and the Dutch are threat
ened by famine in this staple, the
State Department was advised today in
kilograms from Minister van Dyke, at
The Hague.
Minister van Dyke said that the in
quiries of the Dutch Foreign Office
had brought forth, as the only reason
for the seizures of cargoes, shipped
from America and all other neutral
ports, the charge that the grain thus
imported was being used not for do
mestic purposes, but for the distilla-
tion of spirits, which are shipped to
Great Britain's enemies.
British seizures of grain cargoes in
the last month amounted to $4,000
tons, the cablegram stated. AS meas
ure of protection to the Dutch popula-
tion, it was declared, the Minister of
Agriculture has issued a decree in
structing all burgomasters to take pos
session as soon as possible of all of
the new crop, so that an equitable dis
tribution may be made to the native
population.
