HOW THE GERMANS
 TREAT THE STREAMS

The London Times says a German author Oscar Maurus Fontana, who accompanied the German army in Ser bia, publishes a review in the Die Schauhuhn, of January 1, 1917. In his description of the deeds of German troops in Serbian territory he desc,rib- es the following case:
 During the march we came to a house on fire that was a signal for shells to be rained on us. The sold iers put out the fire, and brought along three women and an aged Serbian whom they found near the fire. They accused them of having set the house on fire They replied no. They were told to confess. They replied: We did nothing; it was done by others. 1t is our house which is burning. They were then asked how many Ser bian troops had passed They replied We don't know Thereupon the com mander said, Shoot them" The group remained still. This takes their breath away We are so young to make war, said one woman.
 Nobody tells these women in their native tongue what is going to be done with them, but they understand, and cast down their eyes like an animal which is expecting a blow. They did not utter a sound, but a momentary

ATROCITIES IN ARM ENIA
By ViscOunt Bryce, former Am
 bassador to the United States.

The slaughter of between seven and eight hundred thousand Armenians by the Turks since the beginning of the war reveals the Armenians quite as much martyrs to Christianity as any of the early Christians who died in Eevo's arena Many thousands have died fer their Christian faith when they could have saved their lives by renouncing it.
 This has perhaps not been realized
 even by those who in Europe or Amer ica have read of and been mortified by the wholesale slaughter and hideous cruclt;es by which half of an ancient nation has been exterminated. They can hardly understand how there
 should be religious persecution in our times; so let me try and explain the facts.
 It was not religious fanaticism that led the present rulers of Turkey to seek to root out Christianity. So far rom being fanatics most of these men, though nominally Mohammedans, have no religion whatever Their aim was political. They wanted 10 make the whole Turkish Empire Mohommedan
 in order to make it uniform, with only one creed and no differences between one class of subjects and another.
 They saw that the Christian part of
 the population suffering under con-
 stant expressions and cruelties, con-
 inued to turn its eyes westward and
 hope for some redress from the Christ
 an nations; so they determined to el-
 iminate Christianity altogether.
 During these recent massacres whenever any Christian would turn Mohammedan his life was spared. It
 vas only as a Christian that he was killed. Many a Christian child was rorn from it's parents to be brought up as a Mussulman Thousands of Ar menian Christian girls were sold in rhe market or distributed among Turk ish officers to be imprisoned for life in Turkish harems and there forced into Mohammedanism But many more thousands of Armenians, women as well as men, were offered their choice between Christ and Mohammed and when they refused Mohammed were shot or drowned forthwith For days and days together the bodies of Christ ian women who had thus perished, were seen floating down the Euphra- tes

LETTER OF A DEBUTANTE.

Dear S. r.: Tho by no means a life
oil burning the candle at both ends. we
are going to have a bit of gayety in
this village of ours next week What
entertaining has been done in the past
Few weeks has been of too informal a
sort to be dignified by the name of
party, and tho of the most delightful
kind. was not grist for your mill. If
one is lucky enough to be asked to
these small, exclusive affairs, one must
be as reticent over them as witnesses
in a trust investigation.
But we are going to have a HeIian-
thus party next Wednesday, and it is
to be hoped that the bosses of that
pleasure monopoly will be right nice
to the young girls and let us come.
The bachelors always have been nice
to us-Ed Kellam and Clay Hamilton,
and the scouts of that set, and have in
sisted on giving us a look-in at the
fun, even when the older girls tainted
them about operating a kindergarten
and stealing the infants right out of
the crib. And speaking of the young
girls, did you ever see a girl grow up in
to stunning and pretty young woman
as Frances Hammatt has done since
she took to doing her hair up in pins
She has the most beautiful golden
locks, that nestle into the prettiest
possible coils at the back of her head
Have you heard that there are at
least three engaged girls in this town
OF the head set, who have proposed
excuse me-received proposals. from
army men, and they won't marry them
till they come back with a lot of
stringy laurel on their perspiring
brows. One of the boys right now is
quarantined with measles down at
Fort Sill, ard his faithful fiancee goes
to see him in spite of the funny
splotches that the measles make on
him. and which utterly spoil the tragic
countenance of a real war hero. But
she steadily refuses to marry till ''it' S
over over there" Another of the girls
who is a pretty coed. has devoted
lover in camp, but she says there is
not a chance of her becoming a ma
tron till school days are all o'er-just
like that-as if she was talking poetry.
Besides these two. there is a girl who
was engaged lonS he ore we had war.
whose beloved is an officer with a
good commission and is the grandest
thing you ever looked at in his s65
4 uniform, and with his swa gger stick
and his leather leggings that cost a
young fortune. Il shah never be a
war bride " she tells Us with a finality
that shuts off discussion
Did you go to the poultry show thai
was conducted down on Kansas ave
nue. this week. 1 heard a good deal
