The book gives excerpts from the
diaries OF German soldiers OF which
these are specimens: "In the night Of
August 1919 the village OF Saint7Mau-
rice was punished by being burned to
the ground by the German troops.
>. The village was surrounded, men
posted about a yard from one an
other. so that no one could get out.
Then the Uhlans set fire to it house by
house; either man. woman, or child
could escape; only the great part of
live stock we carried of. as that could
be used. Any one who yentured To-
come out was shot down. All the IN
habitants left in the village were
burned with the houses"
"A horrible bath OF blood. Tho
whole village burned. the French
thrown into the blazing houses, civil
ians with the rest"
That the reign of freightfulness was
the definite policy Of the German gov
eminent is testified to by an amazing
collection of documents and utter
ances of German ofTicialdom. Here
with are excerpts from documentary
proof furnished by German records
establishing the truth beyond ques-

o THE PARISH SCHOOL EALLY Q
BY THE DIRECTOR. o

What prmised TO be the best rally
ever held in Vermilion Parish was great
ly upset by the terrific rainfall last
Friday.
More students were entered for the
various events than ever before, more
enthusiasm was developed, and greater
crowds of children and parents were
in attendance. Owing to the condition
of the race track the athletic events
were not held but the literary events
were given in their entirety. The school
exhibits were on display at the Primary
Building and we dare say that no better
exhibits were ever shown in any State
or Parish rally that right here in Vermil
ion. The exhibits of the domestic sci
ence departments in the parish were
held at Fisk & Labrv's store. The ex-
hibits both the rural and city high
schools were very much superior TO
the displays Of any previous years. all
Of which goes TO show that VermilioD
is advancing rapidly along educational
lines.
The first place in the literary events
went to Abbeville by a margin Of some
twenty odd points, the prize for the
best rural school exhibit was awarded
to Spring Hill, the first place in domes-
tic science exhibits was given to Able.
