DR.. Ivers. Who Terrified Bel

Special cable Despatch 10 The Sun from the
London Times
AMSTERDAM. June 1.-THE condemna-
ton by the first Landsgericht at Berlin
Of the notorious DIR. Ivers to nine months
Imprisonment for having extorted from
the mother of soldier $4,000 under
threats. coupled with evidence that he is
chronic drunkard and morphine fiend.
throws a lurid light upon the German
official Investigations in Belgium as pub
lished and vouched for by the German
Government in its famous White Book.
DR.. Ivers was especially appointed to
direct the inquiries on which the White
Book was based. and il was he who
claimed to have discovered documentary
evidence Of the existence of Belgian
franctireurs. He presided at the COM
mission that inquired into the horrors of
Louvain. 1t was such man as this
who presided at innumerable courts
martial in Belgium, and on whose con-
demnation hundreds of Belgiahs were
shot or imprisoned by the Germans. This
worthy agent of the German Government
was thus described by the German Judge
who sentenced him:
He trampled under the foot Of lust OF
luCre the sacred functions with which he
was invested. lie acted in way which,
thank God. this tribunal has rarely seen
exemplified He abused in outrageous
fashion the affection of mother and the
holy sentiments of the Catholic religion"
The lawyers whom Ivers employed to
defend him took the stand that Ivers
was one Of those "who could never work
until he was half drunk" Medical testi-
mony was given TO the effect that the
man was degenerate. possessed of de-
fects and vices which rendered all moral
resistance very difficult for hiW."
The Dutch review IOn On:cn Tijd
says that no one could read the deca-
ration OF the German court in passing
sentence that in innicting punishment
it had taken into account tho services
he had rendered to Germany" without
shudder as he thought OF the fate of
the unhappy Belgains who had to sub
init TO the judgment OF such monster
Tho condemnation of lvers continues
the Dutch publication damns the Ger
man White Book forever. and not n
word of IT'S findings can be accepted. FOR
the mans colleagues must have known
that they were working with n madman
who never appeared among them un-
less he was drunk.

cepted America at its face value of the
land of the free and the home of the
brave Tscheidse. president OF the
Council OF Workmen's and Soldiers Del
egates. declared himself 'disillusioned
of the genuineness OF American democ-
racy.'"
The statement goes on to sSy that the
suspicion of the State Department that
the conference was inspired by Germany
IL unfounded. as those who were instru-
mental in bringing 1t about are actually
in sympathy with the Entente Allies.

An energetic young woman who IS one of . large clan of cousins and aunts and pncles who live within a radium of fifty miles. was seized with a brain storm recently. She had chanced to meet one of the cousins and they had both enjoyed the en- counter immensely. had compared notes about the rest of the clan and wished regretfully that they saw each other oftener.
 And then came Mrs. G's brain storm.
 "I'm just going to get our clan to- eether." she said, "It's perfectly ab- surd for us to go on living 50 near year after year and never see each other.
 Why Not Make the Same Effort to
 Enjoy Each Other.
 ..Hs going to have family party and I want everyone of your family and Aunt Ruth's and Uncle Henry's and Cousin Amy's to come. I'll let you know q good while ahead and you must just make a big effort. You know perfectly we'll that if one, of us should die every year one would come to the funeral no matter how busy we were. NOW WHY CUA V TWS make some effort to see each other once in a while when we're alivef I think 1t would be a lot more fun"
 The argument was 90 forcible that her cousin couldn't have answered 1t if she had wanted to.-which she didn't.
 So She Got the Whole Clan Excited.
 So she turned to and helped get the rest of the clan excited and last week the party came off.
 AS there were twenty-seven rela- tives it was quite 8 big undertaking and Mrs. G., who is a born organizer, called on two sisters and a cousin who lived near to assist. One cooked a chicken. another made the salad, third the cake. and two of them brought their maids to help serve.-
