NOT OUR WAR, SAYS GERMAN
 SOLDIER

Force of circunstances led me 10 know and gain the confidence of a very few of the soldiers of the line Their fate seemed almost as pathetic as that of the BelgianS. They would implore ne to use my influence to get them across the border to Holland; they would ask ne if l did not know some way by which they might reach Am erica, where wife and children might in happier times join them, '" asserts one Of Hooyer's helpers, John A. Gade, Of the Belgian Relief Commission, in the October Hearts Magazine.
 They could not, as their of ficers telephone from the very trenches to wives in any part of Germany. remember one poor devil who had stood for over two years in the nasty fog, under a damu railrOad bridge, ordered to keep the Belgian children from sailing their sbayings down the canal. l asked him one day how he liked the job. Something queer came into his face when he told me ne had eight children Of his own at home, to whom he had tried to give all the toys he could afford. No, 1t isn't our war he answered, like many others it iS the officers, and We are only treated like cat tle,'
 Their quartering upon the popu- lation was the greatest of the smaller harships the peasants and burghers had to endure. They never ate with their landlords unless special arrangements had been mad3, but mad to be given a decent room and clean bed-linen. So that no one could escape his sal cochOn, as they are called, every house owner was forced to place an easily Iegible placard by his front door stating the number of adults and children belonging to the house. ,ts capacity for taking one or sev- sral 'cochons' would then be de .ermined by the German commiS- rariat. Many of the poor soldiers, .easant lads themselves, were as mbarrassed as their hosts were nfuriated by the forced Judgement.

along what is sibreia, by a viol;snce of speech, is called 3 road, and is in fact not otherwise than a trail Of ruts in black7gumbo mud.
 "A passenger train was coming from the east, from Vladivostok. At Passing Point Number S7 it took the sidetrack to wait for the train 1t was to meet. Of sudden the processionists were seen to line up in front of the baggage car, To fall upon their knees there, to lift their hands in attitude of prayer, the while they uttered strange, vail ing cries and many wept.
 What were they crying about! They had learned that in that bag gage car were the ashes of a Rus sian reyolutiOuist, an oId-time hero of the long, long struggle. He had been condemned by the Czar to one of the worst prisons of coldes Sl- beria; he had managed to escape and in the end to get to America There he died, and his body was eremated. Now his ashes in drap- ed memorial urn were being car ried in state back to that free Rus sia he had dreamed of and suffered for. But note:
 "Of the peasants that fell on their knees before that handful Of dust that day, about one-halt could not read. All of them, you might think, lived in a region far ther from the world and its at" fairs than is Cape Nome from the Bowery. Yet all of them knew we'll enough the name of this dead hero and all his deeds, and in stinctively all knelt before his ashes that they might testify at once their reverence for him and the fervor of their own revolution ary faith.
 But what did that procession mean, wandering red-flagged along the black ruts of lonely Siberia? It meant that the peasants were making q demonstration Demon stration about what? Why, if you will believe me, against the Austrian Governments sentence of death against Frederick Adler, slayer Of the Austrian prime-minister.
 And there you are; that Is Russia. Also, you may see in this incident how deep in the heart of every peasant and toiler are at least the rudiments of the Reyo- lution's creed.
