 sacking of every resource

 fattening of armies on the
 slender produce of the country

 these are not the events of bat

 grinding heel of race de- manding the mastership of

 lions whose souls have passed the whole gamut of emotions. And why? Because these, a free democratic people, dared plunge their bodies before the march of autocracy."
 Frederick c. Walcott's des- cription of devastated Poland comprehends the monstrous woes inflicted by the Prussian system upon these defenseless i people.
 In a statement prepared for the book, Vernon Kellog said: "l went into Bel9ium and oc- cupled France a neutral, and I maintained while there a stead lastly neutral behavior, but I came out no neutral.

GERMAN PRACTICES ,

Some of the Jackets page. in all history, comprising ; documentary record of "deed. that make one despair of tht future of the human race," arc found in a book named "Ger man War Practices" whicl has just been issued at the gov ermment printing office by the committee on public informa. ton for free distribution It is edited by Prof. D. c. Monro of Princeton, and other scholars
 The dmmfounding evidence which this book presents to the jury of mankind is drawn mainly from American sources and includes official proclaim atiOns and utterances of the responsible heads of the I'm perlal German government, let ters and diaries of German sol diers, quotations from German newspapers, and material that has been drawn from the ar chives of the State Department which lay bare the story of inconceivable German atroci- ties.
 The purpose of the book is to show that the system of trl9htfulness, itself the great est atrocity, Is the definite pol icy of the German government so sinister that German sol dlers have themselves at times reVolted. Individual acts of wanton cruelty and barbaric destruction are cited only to illustrate the operation of the remorseless system
 | The book supplements the Bryce report which was the first official survey of the path of horror, ruin and death left by the German army on the lands of the innocent and de- fenseless people. The book is supplemented also to the of ficial reports by the Belgian Commission and the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, and it reveals more of the dam ming German war philosophy as expressed in the German White Book and various of flcial utterances, extenuating revolting crimes on the ground of eNpediency and the advance ment of that ''Kuleur" which HOW mocks its own name ill the civilized world.
 The humanity of German soldiers was so torn by the sys- tenn of brutality that they cried out in letters to Ambassador Gerard, one expressing his pro- test against the slaughter of the Russians in the Mansurian lakes and swamps by saying "Thcre is no God, there is nc morality, and no ethics any more; there are no human be. lngs any more, but only beasts left"
 The Illuminating reports oi Brand Whitlock, Minister tC Belgium. tell of miseries in flicted upon the Belgian peo pie, Mr. Whitlock saying "One is so overwhelmed witl the horror of the thing itself that if has been, and even now is, difficult to write calmly anc justly about it.''
 Herbert Hoover, writing fol this book of his experiences il Belgium, says: "The sight ot the destroyed homes and cit ies, the widowed and =fatherless the destitute, the physica misery of the people but par tially nourished at best, tht ? deportation ofs.tl,e men by tens

whisky and allowed his mother to keep

testimony given today i'm the divorce suit
of the Rev John Edwin Triplctt. of the
First Presbyterian Church, Woodbury. y.
j.. against his wife Dorothy.
Hearing of the long -drawn-out suit. which
IN a year has resulted i'm three indictments
for conspiracy, was continued today before
Master in Chancery Joine. at Camden. The
clergyman accuses his wife of desertion and
statutory Offenses
How the long standing family quarrel
caused a split in the congregation was
described today by witnesses who testified
to Mrs. Tripletts exemplary conduct,
Edgar $ Kroner, a Philadelphia banker,
who lives across the street from the Trip
lett home, said that on zone of several
occasions he and former state Senator
J. Boyd Avis were called in to pacify the
couple, Mrs. Triple.t said that the hus-
band had been abusing her
Mr.. Triplett," said Kroner, replied that
he had to use force because she had
grabbed his hair while he was saying his

Triplett home, bring a flock of chickens
with her The pastors wife complained to
Kroner about the chickens i'm the cellar
and the fact that the servant would take
orders from no one but her mother-in-
law.
The clergyman and his lawyer EX-Judge
Starr, Of Woodbury., were cautioned by the
Master.n-C -ChanCery, when they laughed
aloud at an inference that the pastor drank
whiskey and used tobacco.
This was made by Miss Lucy n, Flanigen,
next-door neighbor who was asked by
Mrs Tripletts attorney, EX-Attorney Cen
eral Edwin o. Wilson, whether or not she
believed that the pastor was addicted to
tobacco and drink
