soldier an eye witness of the slaught-
er of Russian soldiers in the Masu-
rian lakes and swamps:
1t was frightfully heartrending
as those masses of human beings
were driven to destruction. Above
the terrible thunder of the cannon
could be heard the heartrending
cries of the Russians: 20 Prussians
0 Prussians! But there was no
mercy. Our captain had ordered
THE whole lot must die; so, rapid
fire" AS | have heard, five men
and one officer on our side went
mad from those heartrending cries.
mo God, No Morality"
But most of my comrades and the
officers joked as the unarmed and
helpless Russians shrieked for mercy
while they we're being suffocated in
the swamps and shot down. The
order was. Close up, and at it
harder For days afterwards those
heartrending yells followed me, and
dare not think of them or | shall
go mad. There is no God, there is
no morality and no ethics any more
There are no human beings.' W
Many of the Germans, as has al
ready been indicated, do not believe
the reports of the atrocities commit
ted by the Belgian civilians OF Bel
GUM and refuse to accept the sys-
tenn of frightfulness. The Vorwaerts,

a very wide circulation of readers.
has opposed the policy of frightful-
ness"
The book is intended to supple
ment the reports of Lord Bryce and
other official documents dealing with
German war philosophy and its re-
suits. Among the contributors are
Brand Whitlock and Herbert Hoover,
who picture the miseries inflicted on
the Belgians by their captors. Pro-
CARNATIONS and utterances of officials
of the German government and ex-
cerpts from letters and diaries of
captured soldiers are included to let
the Germans tell their own story.
One quotation given a prominent
place is from the speech of the
kaiser to his soldiers about to leave
for China in 1900
Follow Huns Example
'As soon as you come to blows
with the enemy he will be beaten"
the kaiser urged. mo mercy will
be shown! No prisoners will be
takenl AS the Huns, under King
Attila, made name for themselves,
which is still mighty in traditions
and legends today, may the name of
Germany be so fixed in China by
your deeds, that no Chinese shall
ever again dare to look at a German
askance. Open the way for

Two persons, evidently from the

Hippodrome one Saturday night dur

period of lull one of the visitors re-

Francs-Tireurs (guerrillas) were ev-
erywhere present doing their deadly
work in secrecy or under the cover
of darkness that women and even
children were mutilating and killing
the wounded and helpless prisoners"
Denials in Germany Itself
"Lorenz Muller, the review contin-
ues, 'sin the German Catholic Review
Der Fels, February, 1915, made the
following statement in regard to the
emperor's telegram: Officially no
instance has been proved of persons
having fired with the help of priests
from hte towers of churches. All that
has been made known up to the
present, and that has been made
the subject of inquiry, concerning
alleged atrocities attributed to Cath
Ollie priests during this war, has
been shown to be false and alto
gether imaginary, without any ex-
ception.
"'Our emperor telegraphed to the
President of the United States of
America that even women and priests
had committed atrocities during this
guerrilla warfare on wounded sol
diers, doctors and nurses attached to
the field ambulances. How this tele-
gram can be reconciled with the fact
stated above, we shall not be able
to learn until after the war"
Charges Found False
THE Vorwaerts, of Berlin, Octo-
Der %, 1914, said: We have al
ready been able to establish the
falseness of a great number of as
sertions which have been made with
great precision and published every
where in the press, concerning al
legged cruelties committed by the
populations of the countries with
which Germany is at war, upon Ger
man soldiers and civilians. We are
now in position to silence two others
of these fantastic stories.
"The war. correspondent of the
Berliner Tageblatt spoke few
weeks ago of cigars and cigarettes
filled with powder alleged to have
been given out or sold to our soldiers
with diabolic intent. He even pre-
tended that he had seen with his
own eyes hundreds of this kind of
cigarettes. We learn from an au-
thentic source that this story of Gig
arettes and cigars is nothing but a
brazen invention.
sStories of soldiers whose eyes
are alleged to have been torn out
by francs-tireurs are circulated
throughout Germany. Not single
case of this kind has been officially
established In every instance where
ii has been possible to test the story
its inaccuracy has been demonstrate

German Soldiers Protest
Thus the teachings of the German
war book and of the German apostles
of frightfulness, suspicion and hatred
had not begun to bear their natural
fruit But the voice of protest was
not entirely silent A considerable
number of letters by Berman soldiers,
who were shocked by the German
atrocities, were sent to Ambassador
G erard, because he was the repre-
sentative of the United States, the
leading neutral nation

The Rubber Eye.

Few persons have any conception Of
the discomfort caused by glass suhsti-
tu:cs for eyes. The harI-boiled eye
Frequently irrtates the socket ard does
not easily respond to the muscular
changes in this neighborhood. some
times giving the owner an crrie appear
nncp of being twisted along his peri
meter But relief is at hand.
Thanks to the war with its nuIHer-
Gus gouged-out eyes, two Freach work
men have evolved n new method Of re-
placing the lost organ of vision. They
aimed ut producing substance of suf-
ficient elasticity and softness to re-
spond to the changes of the eye SOCK
ct. and at the same time of sufficient
hardness to present smooth. nat
uril effect. They have solved the
difficulty of consistency by making
the front of the new eye of hard rub
bcr vulcanized and enamcled to pre-
sent natural appearance. The back
of the eye Is of soft rubber, followed
out to form ball which becomes filed
with air.
These hollow eyes respond easily
to ocular movements. they do not ir.
ritate the socket, nor the OnloOker, and
they are unbreakable. a man may
drop his eye on the pavement without

car being out of date, the dealer had
been unable to obtain Il piston for it,
and had improviSed one. The Oil and
heat of the cylinder combined to warp
the wood and make the motor stick.
The wood had evidently been treated
with some heat-resisting compound, as
the charring on the surface which had
been exposed to the heat of combus-
ton was not severe.
In another case, n purchaser OF a
secondhand runabout detected most
peculiar noise in his~timing gears.
which in that model were mounted ON
the front of the engine. Removal OF
the gear case revealed the fact that
the gears had been packed In heavy
grease In which was mixed chopped
cork and sawdust. The bearings OF
the gears were badly worn and the i'm
perfect meshing which resulted made
them very noisy. The cork and saw
dust effected Il temporary remedy.

state officers have appointed
women as their deputies. Now
why cannot our county officers
do the same. The women help
to elect these officers. and why
should they not be given at least
the deputyship. as it seems nee
essary to have deputies, and they
should be entitled to recognition.
We certainly have women in our
