The Hague, HOlland.-On the south.
ern border of Holland desertions from
the German army occur on a large
single soldier here and there, then they
came by threes and fives, later In
groups Of ten and twenty, but now az
many as seventy and eighty come in at
time. A few days ago little army
tried to desert-sOme 500 to 600 men,
mostly fusileers, marines and land
sturmers.
The Dutch report says that they at
tempted to cross near Cadsand, but the
German military authorities got wind
of it, and 200 Uhlans with two machine
guns were dispatched from Bruges to
head them back. A formal battle ragged
between the two forces; 1t was viewed
from Holland. The machine guns got
in their deadly work. and almost all
the would-be deserters were either
killed or captured; only eight wounded
men succeeded in reaching Dutch soil
and safety.

capped prisoner, tells the same story of

bad the treatment and the food was in
the German prison camps; he had been
In seven, SO he could Judge. After ev-
cry attempt to escape he had been
transferred to a different camp, but
everywhere the prisoners were treated
brutally, the officers as well as the
men. How he had at last succeeded
In getting away with his two compan-
Ions ne preferred not to say-because
ne feared that would make escape
more difficult for his comrades still in
captivity. He did, however, say that
what made escape very difficult was
that 1t caused great surprise to people
In German towns and villages to see
three able-bOdied men walking about,
and he and his companions had been
obliged to invent all sorts of tales
about having been wounded and being
now on leave to account for their abb
sence from ''the front"
German soldiers frankly beg for food
on the Dutch border. The officers don't
go quite as far as that. There is a sort
of neutral zone along the frontier
where Germans and Hollanders can
meet. There the German officers often
congregate and make overtures Of COM
radeship to their colleagues on tho
other side. Friendly relations exist,
and when the luncheon hour comes,
and the Netherlanders see what poor
provisions the Germans have, they in
vite the Germans to lunch. A picnic
Is held and the Germans consume in.
credible quantities Of rolls. sausages
or ham sandwiches. and loudly praise
the coffee the orderlies Of their Dutch
comrades serve. They say they never
get good coffee any more.
Although the Dutch officer often
meets his German colleagues, It must
not be supposed he always agrees with
their methods Of discipline toward
their own men. Both officers and SOL
diers In Holland, by far the greater
number Of them at least, strongly dis
approve Of the brutal and heartless
way in which most German onlcers
treat their men. The younger officers
show this by chafing the Germans
about 1t.
Merchant Ranks Over Noble.
How the spirit of caste still rules In
the German ranks is instanced by a
little anecdote told me by a Dutch
officer. He had come on friendly "cof-
fee" terms with German officer, Won

monocle, Of those "schneidige lieuten-
ants" often lampooned in Germany.

"Denken sic sich, lieber KameradI"
he exclaimed. "Ichl Won 8. Unter

disgraced. But officers are beginning
to get scarce In Germany, SO the re-
serve officers who have acquitted them
selves creditably have to be promoted

made, blew to the four winds Of
heaven In scattered fragments.
Dragging the half-conscious lad to
q shack beside the railway track, the
two rascals, doing Holmes bidding
left him there still securely bound.
Behrens, chief pIotter Of the Holmes
gang, who had awaited the return Of
Fernald and Grogan with the record,
turned 1t over to him with the in
formation that young Dawson had
seen and copied the entries. When
later Behrens conveyed this informa-
ton to Holmes, the lumber magnate
cursed him for blunderer.
Behrens' eyes blazed with impotent
hate. He would have given half his
life for chance to kill this hard
driver. whose dirty work he had been
compelled to do for 20 years or more,
but he feared even to make re-
ply, SO completely was he in
Holmes power.
.
The most careful schemer of villainy
ultimately finds himself involved in
the meshes Of his own net. Behrens'
assistants who had torn up the actual
marriage record, considered that where
such effort had been put forth there
must be some important secret in
volved, SO they carefully patched to-
gether the torn document. While en-
gagged In this delectable occupation
Tom Dawson and Helen came upon
the cabin in which they were at work.
Through the window Tom recognized
the papers for which he had made so
hard fight, and as the two men
rushed from the hut bent on blackmail-
ing "DOllar" Holmes with their valu-
able secret, Helen and Tom tried to
arrest their flight, but without avail.
With a wild rush the Holmes
agents swung themselves under the
brakebeams Of an already moving
freight and disappeared ino an open
boxcar as the train rounded the bend.
"Quick," sobbed Helen, ''the big car
we can overtake that train and we
must"

tillage aid in catching the water which falls and in conserving this and the water already in the soil for use by the wheat plants. The firm seed bed under the mulch thus made en- ables the young plants to make use of the subsoil waters which rise when there is perfect union between the plowed soil and the subsoil. Sufficient moisture is thus assured for the ger imitation of the seed and for the early fall growth of the seedlings, a very important consideration. Plant food is also likely to be more abundant in the soil when such methods are en- ployed.
 If the importance of thorough till age were more generally recognized and proper methods of seed-bed pre- paration were more widely employed throughout the so-called humid areas, there would be less frequent losses from drought and better wheat crops would result, the department special ists declare. In this area the mistake is often made of thinking there will always be moisture enough present for a maximum crop growth, with the result that short crops often are oh- tained where more attention to mois- ture conservation would have assured good yields.

CAN STRENGTH BE
 REGAINED AFTER A
 PARALYTIC STROKE?
Experience of OwentOn, Ala, Man Would Seem to Answer Yes.

Naturally somewhat skeptical but willing to believe their own eyes, three conservative Birmingham citizens called at the residence of Mir. A. B.. Hamlet, TIP Telulah street, Owenton, yesterday. One of the men was a loctor of reputable standing, the other two were substantial business men.
 From statements gathered from Mir. Hamlet and his wife, it was found that he had been attacked by paraly- sis last Winter and the use of his limbs taken from him so that he could not get around at all without help. He could not walk nor do anything for himself.
 The strange feature of the case is that previous to this MT. Hamlet had gotten so run down with indigestion that his family did not have any hope that he would ever be any better.
 Then a truly remarkable thing hap pened We first got Sulferro-Sol for his Indigestion" said Mrs. Hamlet, ''and were so surprised to see that it was not only relieving that quickly, but that he was getting strength from some unseen source.
 He continued to get stronger every day, and now it seems very wonderful to say that his indigestion is fully cured and he can walk about alone.
 "When you consider that MT Ham let is 72 years old, this is a remark able tribute to Sulferro-Sol. We got this remedy at the Mecca Drug Co.,, 17th street and Third Ave, and they are familiar with this remarkable case, and will verify this statement" "
