ON AALANh " sh AAANRSNN
 The London Times published few days ago the story that the German dead are stripped, bound in bundles of four, with iron wire, hauled to wait ing railroad trains and shipped to a reducing plant, where the fats and oils are recovered for chemical uses, in- cluding the making of explosives, The bones are ground for fertilizer and pig feed. To many persons the tale was incredible; a mere column of horror to entertain the idle reader or vent British spleen against the Germans.
 The Times now comes forward with a more detailed story of the intensive treatment of the German soldier, to the end that the empire may profit by using him after he is killed as well as while he is alive.
 American conSulS formerly in Ger many are quoted by the Times as say ing that the Germans have been for some time making nitroglycerine and obtaining the essentials of other ex- plosives from the corpSeS of soldiers killed in battle. The German CenSorS now are permitting their press to re- port the rendering of the cOrpseS, as an example of the high efficiency of Germany. the Times says. Belgian newspapers have before printed the news that the trains laden with bun dies of corpseS are dispatched to Ger olstein, each car labeled "D. A. V. G., meaning "DeutSchem Abfalls Yer werttungSkeSellschaft," which trans lated. is "The German Offal Utiliza- ton Company, Limited" The factory is situated 1000 yards from rail- road which connects St. With, near the Belgian frontier, with Gerolstein. The site of the plant is in a forest in the little frequented district of Eifel, southwest of Coblentz. A spur leads to the factory, which is surrounded by charged wires and operated by work CTS that are not permitted to leave the place.
 Photographed facsimiles of news article in the Lokal Anzeiger of Der lin are presented by the Times to con- vince the incredulouS reader. The Lokal Anzeiger refers to the "cOrpse exploitation establishment using the German term "kadaververwertunbsa- nstall," and says:
 "The fats here are turned into lu- bricating oils and everything else is ground down in the mill, the bones into powder which is used for mixing with pigs food and as manure. Moth ing can be permitted to go to waste"
 Shipping corpses of soldiers to a rendering plant may be revolting, but cannibalism has been practiced by ship-wrecked sailors to whom it would have been revolting in circumstances less uncompromising. And that Ger many, in her isolation and desperation, might turn even to cannibalsm might be conceivable to persons whose imag- nations are less developed than that of Poe in the conception of horrors. Assuredly the use of the dead sol dier-or soldiers and civilians-fOr making explosives and fertilizers-is not wholly incredible when we cOnsid- CT the military teaching upon which the foundations of the PruSsian hege- mony rest and upon which the in- spiration which resulted in this war was fed.
 The German soldier, who is used in the battle line living, and in the rem dering fat dead, is so employed for the glory of the kaiser, who agrees

BOMB net FOR U-BOATS
HELD TO Be FEASIBLE
Editor Of Scientific American
Makes Striking Suggestion.

J. Bernard Walker, editor OF the
Scientific American, has submitted
plans to overcome the submarine
menace.
His plan is to build a barrier in
the form of a great bomb-carrying
net 200 feet deep and $50 miles long,
to be planted in the Straits of Dover
and across the North sea from Shet-
land Islands to the coast OF Norway.
This is a gigantic proposition, but
we are in a gigantic war, where we
have had to multiply our units and
measurements anywhere from 10 to
100 fold" says Walker. Considered
as a problem OF engineering, the task
is perfectly feasible, and It is certain
ly not beyond the resources OF good
seamanship.
Il speak advisedIy. for during the
few days I have been here l have
been in touch with certain Govern
ment officials who are thoroughly
expert in every question OF tides and
currents. and in the problem OF buoy
ing and mooring. which are the fun

Mrs. Burleson urged the Scouts to set

TALKS TO MEN IN CAMPS

William Jennings Bryan. former
Secretary Of State, last night urged
the student officers at Fort Myer to
set a high moral standard for them
selves and for the enlisted men they
will command.
The lecture was heard by 1000 or
more soldiers, and was well received.
Following his address at Fort
Myer, Colonel Bryan motored TO the
artillery training camp at St Asaph's
and made a dediCatory address at the
army Y. NJ c. A. building there.
He left Washington last night for
CGmpbellsville. Ky, where he is seized
uled TO begin a series OF ChautauQua
lectures.
Recalls His Army Life.
In each Of his addresses Colonel
Bryan referred 10 his own services as
the commander OF a volunteer regi-
ment in 1895. and said he cherished
his memories OF army life.
I'VE do not know how long this
war is going to last" he said. I'VE
40 not know how many lives il is
going to cost, but we do know that
we are going to see It through.
II would not say that an officers
life Is more important than that OF
an enlisted man. You cannot compare
two things that are priceless. I ap-
peal to you to set the right sort Of
example to the men under your com
mand.
1--WE know the temptations with
which you will be surrounded, there
fore the Y. ". c. A. is throwing its
arm Of protection around you. Our
army is not going to be worth much
unless it is organized on high moral
plane.
ut Is not law nor prison walls that
keep q man on the straight and mar
row path. but the sense OF response
bility and his conscience"
Praises Y. VI. C. A. Service.
Colonel Bryan paid high tribute to
the Y. N c. A for its activities among
the men in the army and the splendid
service rendered by the secretaries of
the Associations buildings in the field
with the soldiers. He urged the
soldiers to make the Y. II. c. A.
their club house, and to avail them
selves OF its many educational, intel
lectual, social and moral benefits
whenever possible.
A large portion of the population
of Alexandra journeyed to st. Asaph's
to hear Colonel Bryan's lecture there
At each place Colonel Bryan was
presented by Chaplain Arthur Lewis
Smith, of the Third Regiment, Dis
trict National Guard. and secretary Of
the Y. NJ. c. A. buildings at the two
camps. Colonel Bryan visited the two
camps on invitation of William
Knowles Cooper, secretary of the

Boundary County
Idaho

is the extreme northern county of
Idaho. It's principal resources are ag-
riculture, dairying and stock raising,
mining, timber. The county includes
a large portion of the Kootenai Val
ley, the most fertile district of the
world. Cutover lands may be pur-
chased on long time contracts at from
$40 to S25 per acre. Bottom and mead
ow lands sell for from SO to $50 per
acre. There are many hundreds of
acres of agricultural land in Boundary
county which will make fine homes for
the energetic farmer. Millions of feet
of timber remain uncut and the rivers
and creeks may be easily harnessed to
give thousands of horsepower. Raw
material in quantities to last 100 years,
for paper pulp, may be found in the
county and this timber is easy of ac-
cess. The mining industry is yet in
its infancy. Sufficient capital would
put only one of a dozen mines on a
dividend-paying basis. The climate is
ideal, the rainfall all that is needed
No irrigation in this district. Coco
roads. good schools. Plenty of trans
portation facilities.
