Germans Point to
u. S. Ruthlessuess

London, Feb. 13. - FZday's
Cologne Gazette has on its front
page a new justification of Ger
many's sui marine war, based on
the history of the civil war in
America and the conduct of Cen
erals Sherman and Sheridan. It
quotes verbatim Gen: Sherman's
famous Atlanta manifesto and
then describes in detail how he
burned the city and ravaged the
Shenandoah Valley until in his
own words, "a crow couldn't fly
across the Shenandoah unless he
brought his provisions with him."
"Ruthlessness in war can hard
ly 60 much farther than Sher-
man and Sheridan went" says
the Gazette, with American ap-
proval, as a means of ending a
war in which their existence was
at stake. They must now, in all
consistency. approve other states
III doing likewise under the same
conditions"
1t may be admitted that ruth
lessness in war can hardly 20
much farther than Sherman and
Sheridan went" In fact until
this "Kultur" war it was believed
that the two Union generals had
gone the limit in making war
hell" But the modern Huns
have surpassed them with their
poison gas, and Zeppelin and
submarine slaughters of women
and children. AS a rule, in fact
as far as military authority could
extend, the lives and personal
rights Of n~on-combatants were
respected and guarded-outrages
by soldiers upon citi zens were. so
far as we know, severely punish
ed-by all the Union comman-
ders. The burning of Columbia,
Atlanta, and the towns in the
valley, were atrocious, but no
such horrors as Louvain added
savagery to ruthlessness in the
war between the states. It was
Sheridan W h "ravaged the
Shenandoah valley" and Grant
who phrased the crow" figure
of speech; in an order to Gen.
David Hunter, another burner"

A pit Of the desired size lug

tends six inches above the top

twelve inches higher on the 9TH

placed in the hot bed. On top Of
this about six inches of good gar

covered by inexpensive window

When the hot bed is complete
let it stand covered closely, for
a few days until the temperature
is constant at about 80 degrees,
Fahrenheit. The seed may then
be planted. AS the days grow
warmer in the early sIringV the
sashes may be gradually raised,
This is to accustom the plants to
the outside air, so that they may
be planted early without danger
of being killed.
