The 94-page booklet German War
Practices" published by the Commit
tee on Public Information, devotes
one section to extracts from German
war diaries, among them being the
following:
"A shell burst near the Eleventh
Company, and wounded seven men,
three very severely. At 5 o'clock we
were ordered by the officer in COM
mand of the regiment to shoot all
the male inhabitants of Nomeny, be-
cause the population was foofshly
attempting to stay the advance Of
the German troops by force of arms.
We broke into the houses and seized
all who resisted, in order to execute
them according to martial law. The
houses, which had. not already been
destroyed by the French artillery
and our own were set on fire by US,
SO that nearly the whole town was
reduced to ashes. It is terrible
sight when helpless women and chill
dren, utterly destitute, are herded
together and driven into France"

Eighth Bavarian Regiment Of Infan-
try, Thirty-third Reserve Division.)

Secretary of War Newton D. Ba-
ker urges men in scientific institu-

'"The Government service will de-
mand more and more scientifically
trained men," said he, and hope
those who are in charge of scientific
institutions will impress upon the
young men the Importance of contin-
uing their studies, except to the ex-
tent that they are necessarily inter-
rupted by a mandatory call under
the provisions of the selective law"
Every effort will be made to- use
each students special training in
connection with the specialized &C.
equations in the Army, to afford
technical students liable to call as
great an opportunity through the
National Army as if they had en-
listed.

The problem of supplying the men
in Army environments with small me-
cessities and luxuries which the Gov
eminent does not furnish is met by
the Commission on Training Camp
Activities through these post ex-
changes. They are to be found at
each cantonment, there being as a
rule one exchange for each regiment.
Each carries naverage of $4,000
worth Of goods.
Business is nearly all done on q
credit basis. Men obtain books of
S and 10 cent coupons and pay for
them at the end of the month. Post
exchanges average $1,00 day in
sales, and as there are about $50 in
operation, the yearly business will
aggregate many millions of dollars.

In some Army and National Guard
camps contractors who undertook to
dispose of garbage at price based
upon the amount they expected to
get are threatening to throw up
their contracts because the amount
is so small.
The Surgeon Generals office and

Officers Of the food division give in
