BIC DETACHMENT OF VOLUNTEERS LEAVE FOR TRAINING CAMP
Young Men From All Sec tions of State Are Join ing Colors-Recruit-
 ing Office Busy

Thirty eight volunteers were enlist ed and sent away from the local re- cruiting office yesterday. The men formed a body that would well hava reflected credit upon any community. There was warning flash in their eyes and a determined tread of their feet as they proudly marched to the depot.
 Lingering kisses and strong em- braces made way for many tear stained eyes that accompanied the departure of some loved one One of the volunteers was escorted to the sister. Although the lines in his face disclosed the fact that there would be no halting between the two duties family and country-that called him. pain at the thought of the necessary separation could be seen in his ev- |ery action. At the climax of the sit uation his little child, mere babe in arms, barely able to speak, asked iii an innocent, childish way, Daddy, where are you going?" It was then, and not until then, that this strong man gave vent to his tears. There was no answer for his little one. Perhaps some day he will return and can tell where he was going" and he may be one of those who will lay their lives upon the altar of sacrifice in the name of freedom. Which ever he does. 1t can be said that in the hour of need his answer to the roll call was given in an unhesitating voice and that he did his all to give war-ridden world freedom, equality, democracy.

one person could have such tre- mendous knowledge of art? I'm Sc sorry we didn't come earlier, dearie. We are so far back and I think dis tance breaks the sympathetic chain between the speaker and the listener You know what our friend Hermione says about concentrating and I'm afraid 1 shall have to ask myself the question over and over again before retire tonight, Have l failer or have concentrated?
 Another thing that has put me out of temper is that I wore my brown nat instead of my blue bonnet; one can never be half so temperamental about art when one is wearing brown as when one IS wearing blue. You remember, Hermione laid great stress upon the influence or color upon one'e work. She was always sWayed by mauve; 1 really should have worn my blue hat because I'm never quite as interested and carried away from my surroundings in my brown bon net as in my blue. But then I'd rather ex- pected that Walter q mean Cartoonist Blackman) that's the second time ve made that break) would be red-faced, bewhiskered sort of chap-kind of on well you know what I mean-artists are always that kind, you know, like Wallace Reid might be if he was red-faced or a NA 8 mustache?"
 My dear, what is all the rush about! Oh the lecture is over, I see, and please observe the women crowding around Walter (there I go again-I mean Car toonist Blackman). They've got him in a corner. Look at the flights of hats some of them are wearing. 1 wonder II they think he'd fall for them in such get-up? But they've cornered him and 1 know exactly what for. They are trying to divert him from art to suffrage. They . want to make him declare that he is a man. -suffra gette Well, if l can ever get 10 him, I am going to ask him if he be- lieves we'll need militant tactics before we get the vote. He's certainly in po- sition to give an opinion after this on- slaught I wonder if he can extricate himself? Yes, there he goes. Why, did you ever see such an athlete. He's the most accomplished person I ever knew. Art, suffrage, athletics! If I'm ever con verted to militancy I just hope if I'm around when they are smashing windows and throwing things that Walter Car toonist Biackman, of course I meanJ will be somewhere near to rescue me. Wasn't his lecture on the Haymakers' Cartoons simply beautiful" It was pure art, art for arts sake. I wouldn't have missed it for anything

 REIGN OF TERROR
 That the reign of frightfulness was the definite policy of the German gov ernment is testified to by an amaZlhs collection of documents and utterances of German officialdom. Herewith are excepts from documentary proof TUT nished by German records estapnshihs the truth beyond question:
 'sAs soon as you come to blows sWitn the enemy he will be beaten. No mercy will be shown! No prisoners will be taken, As the Huns, under King At tila. made a name for themselves, which is still mighty in traditions ana legends today, may the name of Ger man be so fixed in China by your deeds that no Chinese shall ever again dare to look at German askance Open the way for Kultur once for all. From the Kaisers speech to the sol diers on the eve of their departure Tor China in 1900
 "Whenever a national war breaks out. terrorism becomes a necessary mil itary rinciple"-General Won Hart mann.
 BRUSSELS FINED
 '"The city or BfuSSeiS, eNcluSlsS oi its suburbs, has been punished by an additional fine of 5,000,000 francs on account of the attack made upon Ger man soldier by Ryckere, one of its police officials. Baron Von Luett- witz, governor of Brussels.
 T am thirsty; bring me some beer gin. rum" "If you lie to me I will have you shot immediately."-T sen tences are taken from a phrase-book supplied to German soldiers, according to Minister Brand Whitlock.
 "One cannot make war in a senti- mental fashion. The more pitiless the conduct of the war, the more humane it is in reality, for it will run it's course all the r'-General Won Bern hardi.
 The innocent must suffer With the guilty. All this must not ir our eyes weigh as much as the life oi a single one of our brave soldiers-the righteous accomplishment of duty is the emanation of high Kultur, and ir that the population of the enemy coun- tries can learn a lesson from our arm es."-General Won Bissing.

Washington, December 9.-SOmc of the bIackest pages in all history, com prising documentary record of ~deeds that make one despair of the future of the human race" are found in a book named "German War Prac- tices,n which has just been issued at the government printing office by the committee on public information for free distribution. It is edited by Prof. D. c. Munro of Princeton. and other scholars.
 The dumfounding evidence which this book presents to the jury of mankind is drawn mainly from German and American sources, and includes official proclamations and utterances of the sre- sponsible heads of the imperiol German government, letters and diaries of, Ger man soldiers, quotations from German newspapers, and material drawn from the archives of the state department which lay bare the story or incon- ceivable German atrocities.
 PURPOSE OF BOOK
 The purpose of the book is to show that the system of frightfulness, itself the greatest atrocity, is the definite policy of the German government, so sinister that German soldiers have themselves at times revolted. Individu- al acts of wanton cruelty and bar barrie destruction are cited only to illustrate the operation of the remorse- less system.
 The book supplements the Bryce re- port which was the first official survey of the path of horror, ruin and death left by the German army on the lands of innocent and defenseless people.
 The illuminating reports of Brand Whitlock, minister to Belgium, tell of miseries inflicted upon the Belgian peo- pie, Mr. Whitlock saying: "One is so overwhelmed with the horror of the thing itself, that it has been, and even now is, difficult to write calmly and justly about it.'
 GERMAN EVIDENCE =rf The book. gives excerpts from the diaries of German soldiers of which these are specimens: "In the night of August 1S-19 the village of Caint- Maurice was punished for having fired on German soldiers by being burnt to the ground by German troops. :. The village was surrounded, men posted about a yard from one another, so that no one could get out Then the Uhlans set fire to it, house by house; neither man, woman or child could es cape; only the greater part of the live stock we carried off, as that could be used. Any one who ventured to come out was shot down. All the inhabitants left in the village were burnt with the houses.

Oh. girls wasn t Cartoonist Black man just too cute for words when he Iectured at the suffrage bazaar the oth- CT day on the ''Haymakers" exhibit?
 And just for that. guess what they arc calling him now in the best circles? They are saying he's per fectly good -suffragette.
 Yes, that's what they are saying, and he's so pleased and so shy why, he was so shy about the lecture and everything that he sneaked away from his very best pals at his own dear Age Herald who wanted to hear lis lecture and went before that body of women just like a little country mouse-but ah Ina! there was a female Sherlock Holmes who was among those present and spotted him, the same being q, said the fly, with my little eye, I saw him die"
 AsI took my stand with the large and enthusiastic audience (Cannery) I heard some startling conversations about our newest man suffragette. Let me tell you about two perfectly lovely little chocolate eating. talcum- powdered, lemonade drinking debu- tantes, who stood near me. This is tine way they put it:
 Isn't he the cutest little man you ever saw? GOT course, meaning our own dear cartoonist) Oh, hasn't he the most perfectly lovely way of brushing his hair back from his fore head? Makes him look like he's got so much sense. Is that what you'd call camouflage? I am simply thrilled, my dear, with what he's saving. Just listen to his voice. Why, Cyril Scott would be perfectly happy if he only had a voice like that and think or what Conway Tearle would do II ne could talk that way. Just listen to him telling about those awful Ger man atrocities and how Lawmakers put them on paper and peeyed tEe Kaiser so that he wouldn't eat ms breakfast food for two days"
 "For all his wonderful Knowledge of art, Walter q mean, Cartoonist .B1ackman) isn't so big, is he? Why, he can't be any taller than l am, but he is a physical and mental wonder, believe me, to sway this crowd as ns is doing. Just look around at the Wohi,' en how they are hanging on ms words. Why, all around us you can hear, Isn't he gorgeous? Isn't he won derful? Did you ever know that any
