How France Pared Back of the German
 Lines


 Feeding of the French population, which was carried on by the American Relief commission, was a very interest ing thing to see, and in company with one of the members of the French committee we saw the workings of this system of American relief. We first visited a storehouse in Charleville, the headquarters for the relief district of which CharlevilIe may be called the capital.
 For relief purposes northern France is divided into six districts. From tine central distribution point in each dis trict food is then sent to the commune within the district, the commune being the ultimate unit of distribution and each commune containing on the aver age about 900 souls We then motored to one of the communes where the distribution of food for the week was to take place that afternoon. Here in a factory, closed since the war, the people of the communc were lined up with their baskets waiting for their share Of the rations. sOn entering q large room of the factory each stopped first at a desk and there either paid in cash for the weeks allowance of rations or signed an agreement to pay at some future date. The individuals who had no prospect of being able to pay received the rations for nothing About one-third was in each class. The money used was not always French or real money, but was as rule the paper money issued in that part of northern France by each town and re- deemable after the war.
 Signs were hung up showing the quantity that each person was entitled to receive for the next fifteen days of the month of May, 1916, each inhabi- tant could, in this district, receive al lowances at specified rates. as follows:

 Quite timidly l said. that possibly if hostihties once broke out with the Ger

 aroused England to pass a law for uni versal military service. This proposi-
 tion of mine was branded by the Ger
 mans as absolutely impossible, and therefore I am sure that the adoption by the United States of universal ser vice in the first round of the war

their great gratitude to the American people for what was being done for them Those in Charleville said that they had heard that was in their town be- cause of trouble pending between America and Germany. They said they hoped that there would be no war be- tween the two countries, because if war came they did not know what would become of them and that, in the confusion of war, they would surely be left to starve.
 In Charleville notices were posted directing the inhabitants not to go out on the streets aftet I think, o'clock in the evening, and also notices inform ing the popu .ation that they would be a lowed a small quantity Of their own land for tine purpose of growing pota- toes.
 House Bullet Marked by Two Wars After visiting the factory building where the distribution of rations was i teking place we motored to Sedan, stopping on the way at the hamlet of Bazeilles and visited the cottage where Bismarck and Emperor Napoleon III had their historic interview after the battle of Sedan.
 i The old lady who owns this house received us and showed us bullet marks made on the house in the war of 1870, as well as in the present war. She apologized because she had had the window pane, broken by a rifle shot in 1 ithe present war, replaced on account ! Tof the cold. As a girl she had received Bismack and Napoleon and had shown them to the room upstairs where they ! had held their consultation. In this
 room asked her which chair Bismack
 had sat in and sat in it myself. for
 luck I also contributed to the collec- ton of gold pieces given to her by those who had visited her cottage.
 i In Sedan we visited an old mill where
 stores of the relief commission were
 kept, and in the mayors office were present at sort of consultation be- tween the Prussian officers and mem
 bers of the French committee of Sedar in which certain details relative to tho feeding of the population were dis
 cussed.
 The relief work is not, of course carried on right up to the battle line
 but we visited a small village no
 many kilometers in the rear of tn,
 German line. In this village we were
 as before, shown the stores kept fo1 redistribution by the relief commission As there were many soldiers in thi, village, I said I thought that thes,
 soldiers must have stores of their own but in order to be sure that they wer,

it seemed to me absolutely outrageous and that, without consulting with my government I was prepared to protest
 in the name of humanity against a continuance of this treatment of the civil population of occupied France. The chancellor told me that he had not
 known of it. but it was the result of
 orders given by the military that he
 would speak to the emperor about it and that he hoped to be able to stop further deportations.

 It seems to me that this denial makes the case rather worse than before.
 1 At the chancellors house in the eve l ming we had discussions on the sub- marine situation and 1 had severa i long talks with the chancellor alone 1T a corner of the room, while the others
 listened to music or set the mechanical itoys in action. These discussions, with out doubt, were reported to the emperor either by the chancellor or by vol Treutier. who at that time was high II favor with his majesty.
 lGerard's Report Concerning Submarine i I remember one evening l was asked the question as to what America could do, supposing the almost impossible that America should resent the recon l mencement of ruthless subm arine war fare by the Germans and declare war i I said that nearly all of the grea inventions used in this war had beei ! made by Americans; the very sub marine which formed the basis of ou discussion was an American invention i so were the barbed wire and the air plane, the ironclad, the telephone am the telegraph, so necessary to trenel
 warfare, and even that method of war fare had been first developed on some
 thing of the present scale Sn our CillV | War. Further, 1 believed that, if force'
 to it, American genius could produc some invention which might have decisive effect in this war.

 Seizure or French Women and Gi


 During this trip about the county saw number of women and girls working, or attempting to work. in the fields Their appearance was so different from that of the usual peas ant that 1 spoke to the accompanying officers about it.
 l was told, however, that these were the peasants of the locality, who dressed unusually well in that part of France. Later on, in Charleville, at the lodging of an officer and with Count Wenger- sky, who was detailed to act as a sort of interpreter and guide to the Ameri- can Relief commission workers, | met the members of the American Relief commission who were working in northern France and who had been brought on a special train for the purpose of seeing me at Charleville
 This Count Wengersly spoke Eng fish well. Having been for a number of years agent of the Hamburg Amer ican line in London, he was used to dealing with Americans and was pos | sessed of more tact than usually fails to the lot of the average Prussian 1 officer. We had tea and cakes in these Lodgings t nd then some of the Ameri- cans dl V me aside and told me the secret of the peculiar looking peasants whom had seen at work in the fields surrounding Charleville.
 | It seems that the Germans had en- deavored to get volunteers from the great industrial towns of Lille. Roubaix and Tourcoing to work these fields; that after the posting of the notices calling for volunteers oniy fourteen had 1 appeared. The Germans then gave or ders to seize a certain number of in- habitants and send them out to farms in the outlying districts to engage in agricultural work. The Americans told me that this order was carried out with the greatest barbality: that a man would come home at night and find tha, his wife or children had disappeared and no one could tell him where they had gone. except that the neighbors could relate that German noneommis- stoned officers and a file of soldier. had carried them off.
 | For instance, in a house of we'll to-do merchant, who had perhaps two daughters of fifteen and seventeen anC a man servant, the two daughters anG the servant would be seized and sent off together to work for the Germans in some little farmhouse, whose loca- ton was not disclosed to the parents The Americans told me that this sort of thing was causing such indignation among the population of these towns that they feared a great uprising and a consequent slaughter and burning by the Germans

FORMER MINOT MAN is DEAD
E. F. Cunningham Once Employed By
A. P. Slocum and Economy Died
On Coast

Word has been received in this city
of the death of E. F. Cunningham, at
the home of his brother at Arbuckle,
Calf, after long and lingering i'll
ness which began while he was resi-
dent Of Minot, several years ago. Fun.
eral services were held at the home Of
H. A. Neumann at Sacramento, and
were conducted by Aerie No. 9 Frat
ernal Order Of Eagles of which order
the deceased was member. The
remains were cremated at East Lawn
cemetery in Sacramento.
Mr.. Cunningham was at one time
employed by A. P. Slocum Of this city
and later the Economy Drug COM
pany. He left Minot in 1908 for
Deadwood, S. D., where he spent a
wear in an effort to recover his health.
Later he removed to Los Angeles,
where he resided until few weeks
ago when it was deemed best to re-
move him to the home Of his brother
at Arbuckle. He gradually grew
worse until the end came.
He leaves wife and two brothers,
G. L. Cunningham of Arbuckle, and
q. N. Cunningham Of San Francisco.
