German Soldiers Becoming Rich
From Spells of War.
Charging that the German army Is
growing rich by Systematically Or
eanized theft and pillage, the June
Issue of "Facts About the War;"
bulletin of information published by
the Paris chamber of commerce says:
"a pamphlet by Arnold Steinmann-
Rucher. entitled The Peoples For
tune in Germany published at Stutt-
CART in 1916, gives significant partl-
cila.s as to the profits that the SOL
diers of the kaiser are reapirg from
the war.
"We find statements made by the
head managers Of the Dresden post
Office regarding the sums OF money
sent into Germany by soldiers at the
front. One division of Saxon reserves
forwarded, in September 1914, w.
600 post Office orders amounting TO
3el 900 marks, ard in October, 2O,-
600 post office orders making total
of 100000 marks.
Calculating that a months pay
for a division eln scarcely amount
ito over hundred and, fifty, or hun
bred and, sixty thousand marks we
may conclude that the wealth Mr.
steinmam- Bucher takes: such pride
in, has it's principal source in sys-
tematically organized theft and pill
lage:
at is in this way that the Ger
man army, under the benevolent eye
of it's chiefs, intends to reply to the
partisans of peace without indem-
mites"

TAKING HISTORIC CHIMES

Germans Stripping Belfrys in
Northern France of Metal.
Inhabitants no longer have any
doubt as to the fate of the bells and
chimes of Northern France fol-
still inside the German lines have
taken the road 10 German munitions
factories.
All the churches of the region OF
the Disc and the Somme were stripped
of everything they contained IN
the form of copper and brass before
the occupying troops retired. There
lis no reason to suppose that those
still inside the German line shave
been spared.
| These depredations are acutely felt
in this region which has been the
country of bells and chimes since
Charlemagne generalized their use
throughout the empire.N
Inhabitants of this region who
were deported to Germany before the
retreat and have since been rcp".-
rated, bring news that the Ger
mans have now attempted to regu-
larize their rape of the bells by IS
suing a general requisition Of all
bells not dating as far back as the
Middle Ages. Bells cast between 14oC
and 1900 are spared only when they
hear historical inscriptions or have
otherwise an exceptional value his
toricallv or artistically.' Since few OF
the bells of Northern France have
the necessary antiquity to escape TINS
reculation, it is assumed that all
or nearly all, of them have already
been fired back upon French soil II
the form of projectiles.
Able Lemire, mayor Of Haben'
brouck and deputy from the De-
nartment of the North has learned
from a reliable source that the Ger
mans are stripping the interesting
lille Museum Of such objects OF ar
as previously had not been sent tt
Germany. The Germans, it is learned
from the same source, posted pla
cards shout the city exhorting tn
inhabitants to subscribe to the lates
German war loan. No French people
subscribed so Far as known.

the central powers are receiving
enormous quantities of materials
that go directly into the manufac-
ture of munitions. Iron ore ship
ments from Sweden to Germany, the
report made to this government de-
clares, have reached total OF g.
100000 tons in the last two years,
all of it the high grade required IN
production of fine steel. This, 1T IS
declared, represents an amount equal
to ISweden's entire pre-war export.
In the first quarter of the present
wear, it is set forth, Sweden imported
from the United States $4,000 tons
of pig iron, while selling great
quantity Of her own product to Ger

many in two years, it is declared
have amounted to 100000 tons.
In addition to this, it is asserted
she has shipped to Germany, l9'ooo
tons of ferro-silicon and ferro-
manganese for hardening shells, to-
eether with large quantities or cop
ner zinc, manganese, sulphur ana
other ores.
Germany, the report declares mas

stead of cotton for the manufacture
of high explosives.
It is claimed Germany also mas o.
tanned from Sweden large quantities
of ball bearings for use in the man
nnfacture of war vehicles and SUD-
marines.
The value of these shipments, the
report declares, is at least 9l''ooo''
