HOW ANIMALS TRAIL.

Trailing. popularity speaking, means
following footprints, but the term
really implies much more than that
and signifies following the trail by

leaves behind .on it's way-a displaced
stone, a broken twig, a tuft of hair on.

tits an axiom that 1t is impossible
Tor one to travel on earth without
leaving a trail of some kind. Even in
a big city this is just as true as it
IS In the woods, the difference being
that il a city there are so many
thousands of trails that it is almost
impossible to follow a given one.

thing. The stone was later, however,
sent to Cape Town, where its true ma

on the march.
Soon after the march began, the
process of determination began to be
put into effect. Menswere separated
from their women and children, and
parties were made up for a trek to
various places, usually locations in
r-distant parts of Asia Minor. Need
less to say, few of these parties ever
reached their destination, being gradu-
ally killed off by exposure or starYa-
ton. Thousands died in barren desert
lands. Without food or drink, and
poorly clad, speedy death at the
hands of the soldiers would have been
welcomed by many. The soldiers,
however, seldom attempted direct kill
ings at this STAGE except Of refugees
who attempted escape, the soldiery
generally being content to let hunger
and thirst and exposure do the work
Of determination for them.
1.-THE lot of the women and children
was the usual one, which has been
described many times in accounts of
the Armenian deportations. Being
defenseless, they fell a prey to the
first passer-by. Any Turk along the

woman, merely took possession, and

GERMAN GENERAL STAFF CAVE
ORDERS FOR DEPORTATION OF

Greek Legation Told That Presence Of Communities

Suffered Persecution or Death


Athens, Greece, Oct. 27-Greek au-
thorittes have received information
which xconvinces them that not alone
the Turk but his German advisors
were responsible for the deportations
Of Greeks from Turkish dominions, ss
a consequence Of which 100000 have
suffered persecution or death.
It Is saserted that the Greek lega-
ton at Constantinople protested to the
then King Constantine of Greece from
the beginning of the deportations but
received no. assistance or encourage
ment from him. The legation then
lodged a protest with -Talaat Bey, the
Turkish Grand Vfzier.
His reply, as shown by official pa
pers was that these measures are
taken by advice of our German ad-
visors." The Greek legation then took
up the subject with the German Cen
eral, Liman Won Sanders, who Is de-
clared to have replied that the pres

How Germany Came TO Lose Her Soul
When the. Kaiser and Germany's

survived from the faith Of Martin
Luther. It was not enough to control
the philosophers and scholars-it be-

license to law1essness. lust and theft.

these treaties, a Thousand times more
