Little Rock
 Adj. Gen. Lloyd England has again urged all registrants who have chang. ed their residence address since regis tration day to immediately inform their local board of their present ad- dress. This small matter is very in- portant to the registrant Should the registrant fail to receive his question Iiaire he is liable to Imprisonment for misdemeanor No excuse for not having received the questionnaire will be accepted, as the posting of the or der numbers of the men to whom they are sent at the offices of the boards constitutes official notification.
 The adjutant general has placed posters in many places urging that registrants inform their local boards of their present address. One para graph in the poster says: Warning Don't depend upon having some one forward this mail to you Hun. dreds of men are now advertised as deserters because friends or relatives who promised to forward mail to them forgot or didn't think 1t was important This applies even if you have been examined and granted a discharge or exemption"
 On page eight of the questionnaire, under Series VII. "Citizenship," the first question to be answered by the reigstrant is, Are you a citizen of the United States?', Tn case the reg istrants answer to this question is No" the remaining questions in the series should not be answered, acl cording to instructions received by Adj. Gen. Lloyd England from Pro vost Marshal General Crowder. The questionnaire states that if the regis trans answer to the first question is Yes" the others should not be an swered. This is evidently a misprint which is corrected by the provost mar shaPs telegram.

JUDGE ORDERS REFERRING IN MURDER CASE IN DREW
 COUNTY COURT.
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
It Is Alleged Certain Non-expert Tes- timony Was introduced On Subject of His Sanity, Without Stating
 Upon Which Facts Were Based.
Little Rock


 Clarence Hankins, who was convict ed in the Drew Circuit Court of mur- der in the first degree and given a life sentence, will have another trial because the court permitted non-ex- pert testimony to be introduced on the subject of his sanity without stat ing the facts on which the opinions of the witnesses were based.
 Clarence Hankins was convicted of murder in the first degree and his punishment vas fixed by the jury at confinement in the penitentiary for life He was convicted of having shot and killed his wife, who at the time of the killing had left him, as she stated, on account of his treatment of her. His defense was plea of in- sanity, and testimony to sustain that defense was introduced. The Circuit Court also allowed certain non-expert testimony to be introduced on the sub- ject of his sanity, without stating the facts upon which the opinions of the witnesses were based. For this error and also for error of the court in fail ing to properly instruct the jury on the subject of insanity, the Supreme Court reversed the case for new trial

PARISH PRIEST
 USED AS SHIELD
Brand WhitIock Tells of CowardIy Act of Commander of Ger
 man Detachment.
HUGH GIBSON ADDS EVIDENCE
Tells of Priests Compelled to Walk Be- fore Huns" to Form Screen-- Cardinal Mercier's Statement
 as to Taking of Hostages.

That tue Germans in Belgium made use of Wonaen, children. and priests as screens to protect the an- vaders from Belgian troops IS shoaon by the following testimony gathered | by the committee on public infor- nation:
 Minister Whitloek, in his report of September F, 1917, to the secretary of | states, gives an instance of the Ger man practice of seeking protection.
 ''The Germans attacked Hougaerde on the 18th August; the Belgian troops were holding the Gette bridge in the village. The Germans forced the par fsh priest of Autgaerden to walk in front of them as a shield. As they neared the barricade the Belgian sol diers fired and the priest was killed. After the retreat of the Belgians the Germans shot four men, burned 50 houses, and footed 100."
 Hugh Gibson, in "A Journal From Our Legation in Belgium" page 155, gives another incident:
 1.-Two old priests have staggered in- to the - legation more dead than alive after having been compelled to walk ahead of the German troops for miles as sort of protecting screen. One of them is i'll, and it fs said that he may die as a result Of what he has gone through"
 Statement of Cardinal MercIer.
 At the time of the invasion Bel gian civilians, in 20 places, were made to take part in operations of war against their own country. At Ter monde, Lebbeke, Dinant and elsewhere in many places, peaceable citizens, women and children were forced to march in front of German regiments or to make screen before them.
 '.The system of hostages was carried out with fierce cruelty. The procla- nation of August 4th, quoted above, l declared, without circumlocution Hostages will be freely taken
 "An official proclamation, posted at Liege, In the early days of August, ran thus: Every aggression committed against the German troops by any per sons other than soldiers In uniform not only exposes the guilty person to be immediately shot, but will also en- tail the severest reprisals against all the inhabitants, and especially against those natives of Liege who have been detained as hostages in the citadel of Liege by the commandant of the Ger man troOpS.'
 'These hostages are Monsignor Rut- ten, bishop of Liege; NJ. Kleyer, burgo- master of Liege; the senators, repre- sentatives, and the permanent deputy and sheriff of Liege."
 The above quotation Is taken from "An Appeal to Truth addressed No vember 24, 1915, by Cardinal Mercier and the other bishops of Belgium to the cardinals, archbishops, and bishops of Germany and Austria-Hungary. "Some ten or dozen American cor respondents, of whom was one, wit messed the first German drive through Belgium. Most of us were so appalled, and mortified by what we saw as to be come anti-German for life" Will Ir. win in Saturday Evening Post. Octo- Der 6, 1917, page Al.
