'TEUI0NIc kDLIUR HAS DESCENDED
TOaDARDARIiN ACTS OF DARK AGES

feet deep and 30 feet m diameter
This has been done TO stop the big
guns and the ammunition and supply
wagons. But al Of these are required
BY war, and We cannot say anything
In this regard.
But here Is what no civilized per
son would have done, and what these
tools OF German knltur have done
while retreating:
They have burned eli houses OF
brick in the little French towns. and
have destroyed completely the frame
houses by literally cutting them to
pieces.
Even Fruit Trees Ruined
They have sawn of all the fruit
trees It about eight feet from the

they have polluted with manure.
In their retreat they have taken
with them from many Of The little

the ages OF Is and so years. leaving
only the women with small children.
They have taken al cattle. bedding.

impose their kultnr on the whole
world.

the towns had been fed BY the Amcrt

people are proud to say that they
have been helped by the Americans.
But the Germans kept for themselves
the best part OF these relief supplies
the good bread and the flour giring
the civilians only the war bread.
AS these people have seen the
Germans retreat from their towns
and the French and other Allied
troops enter. their cry has been. DO
not spare theml You win never 10 to
them what they have done to rs
