"Behaved Like Vandals."

August r. Tn the afternoon I had look at the little chateau belonging to one of the kings secretaries (not at home). Our men had behaved like regular vandals. They had footed the cellar first. and then they had turned their attention to the bedrooms and thrown things about all over the place. They had even made fruitless efforts to smash the safe open. Everything was topsy-turyy-magnifeent furni- ture, silk. and even china. That's what happens when the men are allowed to requisition for themselves. I am sure they must have taken away a heap of useless stuff simply for the pleasure of footing"
 August 9th crossed frontier. Inhab- itants on border very good to us and give us many things. There is no diff ference noticeable.
 August 23rd, Sunday (between Bir- nal and DLnant, village of Disonge). At Il o'clock the order comes to ad- vance after the artillery has thorough up prepared the ground ahead. The Pioneers and Infantry regiment ITS were marching in front of us. Near a small village the latter were fired on by the inhabitants. About 220 inhab- itants were shot and the village was burnt-artillery is continuously shoot ing-the village lies in large ravine Just now, six o'clock in the afternoon, the crossing of the Maas begins near Dinant -. All villages, chateaux, and houses are burnt down during this night. It was a beautiful sight to see the fires all round us in the distance.

All Male inhabitants Shot.

"A shell burst near the Eleventh company, and wounded seven men, three very severely. At five o'clock we were ordered by the officer in com mand of the regiment to shoot all the male inhabitants of Nomeny, because the population was foolishly attempt ing to stay the advance of the German troops by force of arms. We broke into the houses, and seized all who resisted, in order to execute them according to martial law. The houses which had not been already destroyed by the French artillery and our own were set on fire by us, so that nearly the whole town was reduced to ashes. It is ter rible sight when helpless women and children, utterly destitute, are herded together and driven into France" (From the diary of Private Fischer, Eighth Bavarian regiment of infantry Thirty-third reserve division.)

Too Many Servants in Britain.

Duncan Miller asked the minister of national service, says the London Times, whether his attention has been called to the number of advertisements for servants in households of one, two or three persons, where seven to ten indoor servants are already kept, and whether he proposes to limit the mum. Der of indoor servants employed in each household. The minister of na- tional service replied that he had al- ready pointed out how essential 1t is, in the national interest, that no per son should employ more servants than are absolutely necessary. The min ister trusts that the awakened con sciences of those who have in this respect failed to appreciate their duty will provide an immediate and sufii- cient remedy. If not, he will tell his plan in the general statement on man power.

Russo.German Princesses.

Some light on the absolute German penetration of state and society ir Russia under the old regime is thrown by the fact that ex-Czar Nicholas has 6+65 of German blood in his veins, and that all expresses of Russia throughout the nineteeth century, with the exception of the wife of Alexander H. were German princesses.

 Even Soldiers Mortified.
 Some German soldiers, we are glad to see, showed their horror at the foul deeds committed in Belgium.
 "The inhabitants have fled In the vil- lage. It was horrible. There was clot- ted blood on all the boards, and what faces one saw, terrible to behold! The dead, 60 in all, were at once buried. Among them were many old women, some old men, and a half-delivered woman, awful to see; three children had clasped each other, and died thus. The altar and the vaults of the church are shattered. They had telephone there to communicate with the enemy. This morning, September ?, all the sur vivors were expelled, and I saw four little boys carrying cradle, with a baby five or six months old in 1t, on two sticks. All this was terrible to see.

"In the night of August 1919 the vil- lage of Saint-Maurice was punished for having fired on German soldiers by being burnt to the ground by the Ger man troops (two regiments. the Twelfth landwehr and the Seven teenth.) 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 1t. house by house. Neither man, woman. nor child could escape; only the greater part of the live stock we carried off, as that could be used. Anyone who ventured to come out was shot down. All the inhabitants left in the village were burnt with the houses" (From the diary of Private Karl Scheufele of the Third Bavarian regiment and land wehr infantry)
 'At ten o'clock in the evening the first battalion of the One hundred and Seventy-eighth marched down the steep incline into the burning village to the burning village to the north of Dfnant A terrific spectacle of ghastly beauty. At the entrance to the village lay about fifty dead civilians, shot for having fired upon our troops from ambush. In the course of the night many others were also shot, so that we counted over 200. Women and children, lamp in hand, were forced to look on at the horrible scene. We ate our rice later in the midst of the corpses for we had had nothing since morning. When we searched the houses we found plenty of wine and spirit, but no eatables. Captain Hamann was drunk" (This last phrase in shorthand) (From the diary of Private Philipp of the One Hundred and Seventy-eighth regiment of infantry, Twelfth army corps.)

SOLEMN PLEDGE MERE WORDS
kaiser's Statesmen Had No intention of Keeping Faith With Their Agreement on International Law
 Horrors Told by Diaries.

In giving to the American people the knoWledqe of German inhuman- fly in Belgium says pamphlet is sued 6y the committee on public in- formation, tbe evidence $ draWn mainly from German and American sources. The German sources in- clude official proclamations and other official utteranceS, letters and diaries of German soldiers, and quo- tations from German newspapers. The @Rules for Field SerUice" of the German army adviSes each soldier to keep such diary whde on actiUe seruiee.
 In the wars waged in ancient times it was taken for granted that con- quered peoples might be either killed, tortured. or held as slaves; that their property would be taken and that their lands would be devastated. "Yae vic tis woe to the conquered !'' For two centuries or more there has been a steady advance in introducing ideas of humanity and especially in eonfining the evils of warfare to the combatants. The ideal seemed to have become so thoroughly established as part of in ternational law that the powers at The Hague thought it sufficient merely to state the general principles in Article SLNI of the regulations Family hon. DTS and rights, the lives of persons and private property, as well as re ligious convictions and practice, must be respected Private property cannot be confscated." Germany, in common with the other powers, solemnlY pledged her faith to keep this article. but her military leaders had no inten- tion of doing so. They had been trained in the ideas voiced by Gen. yon Hartmann 40 years ago: Terrorism is seen to be a relatively gentle pro cedure, useful to keep the masses of the people in state of obedience" :" This had been Bismarck's policy, too. According to Moritz Busch, Bismark's biographer, Bismarck, exasperated by the French resistance, which was still continuing in January, 1871. said:
 If in the territory which we occupy, we cannot supply everything for our troops. from time to time we shall send flying column into the localities which are reealeitrant. We shall shoot, hang and burn. After that has hap pened few times, the inhabitants will finally come to their senses"
 Horrors Told in Soldiers Diaries.
 The frightfulness taught by the Ger man leaders held full sway in Belgium This is best seen in the entries in the diaries of the Individual German sol diers.
 During the night of August 15-16 Engineer Gr- gave the alarm in the town of Wise. Every one was shot or taken prisoner, and the houses were burnt. The prisoners were made to march and keep up with the troops" (From the diary of noncommissioned officer Reinhold Koehn of the Second battalion of engineers, Third army corps.)

Statement From Chief Of Police

Toronto, Canada-This city with
lts more than 100000 people is now
the largest dry city in America. Ac>
cording to Chief of Police Grassett, In

empty The streets are quiet and po
aicemen are free now to attend to

Cold weather froze the ink and pre-
vented US from writing anything to
be published last week. However this
week we will write for both weeks.
Our exhibit at school was patroniz-
ed by six of the parents in spite of
the cold weather, which shows that
the community is encouraging the
school by taking an interest in the
pupils work. 1t also encourages the
pupils for they feel that they are
not doing things mechanically, but for
a purpose to do things which actually
count for something in life and some
thing which interests their home as
well as school
We have new picture in the school
"The Ringing of the Liberty Bell''
which is very appropriate now, being
so near Washington's birthday. We
are all very glad that we now have
new stage curtain bought with the
money earned as prizes at the Fay
cite Carnival
