Urgent Need of Help.

80 9 lfphIilS lbI tl4t ioilAllS u Ilit
United States Army is summarized in
letters from Prof. Chomard as follows:
The Germans are treating our prlS-
oners in manner beyond human en-
duranCe. Tens of thousands of French
soldiers in Germany have already died.
The others will be returned all broken
up and worn out.
According to a German official re-
port published a year ago, 10000 of
our soldiers we're then filling the in
sane asylums of Germany.
Under all sorts of pretexts they are
inflicting terrible reprisals. Last yea
they sent 10000 to Russian Poland
This year they sent $4,000 to the French
front, mere they were exposed to fire
from our guns. They were packed il
barracks too small to afford comfort
and had no fire. They were not al
aud were made to work about 100 yards
behind the German first lines.
"Of the $4,000 nearly 1000 were killed
by our projectileS or persisted from
disease. The others were taken back
to Germany in a pitiful condition, Grip
pied for the rest of their lives.
The Germans practice their re-
prisals especially upon officers and in
tellectuals. The French prisoners.
working in German mines during the
last two years. are ruined for life.
Germany acts in this manner be-
cause she has more French prisoners
than we have German. At first she
treated the English prisoners worse
than ours, but now, that England has
more German prisoners than Germany
has English our accursed enemy has
changed tactics. The allies should be
united on the treatment of prisoners OF
war as they are on military operations.
1T is a question of the future of our
race which Germany seems to want to
annihilate"

from Prof. Henri Chomard, French
censor on all mail between France

opportunities to learn what Germany

"The Jay-WaIkers"

That awkward thoughtless Instructor of traffic

deserves the campaign of regulation the
traffic ordinances We have in all we'll regulated
cities rules governing vehicles of all kinds including
street without realizing that the "jay-waker"
may confuse drivers and motOrmen by his unregu-
lated gyratons to render observance of the
rules almost impossible.
Weary the accidents due o the careless
of pedestrians, Kansas City authorities have
determined to end to 'jayw walking and traffic
policemen now watch men and women foot
well as automobiles, wagons and street cars.
While the measures taken by the police have for
their purpose partly the prevention of accidents they
designed also facilitate traffic One of the
officials of the city said: "One crossing the
half dozen automobiles and Who'll string wagons
besides giving heart failure every one who sees
her"
AS general rule the burden of preventing acct
dents is placed driving an automobile who
must be gifted with second sight and the power of
mind reading to figure out what move the Gay
walker is going to make next. In this city, though,
believe there is regulation against it, people
cross streets at intersections diagonaly and make
problems for drivers solve though attention
is already occupied by people who crossing regu-
