 WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The act of German soldiers who appealed to Ambassador Gerard as the representa- tive of Christian State to protest against the atrocities and butcheries in which their commanders forced them to participate, will be disclosed in the forthcoming issue of a pamphlet by the committee on public informa- ton.
 They had made several protests and this was one: Tt was frightful and hcartrcnding as these masses of hu- man beings were driven to destruction. Above the terrible thunder of cannon could be heard the heartrending cry of the Russians, O Prussians, O Prussians,' but there was no mercy. One captain had ordered that the whole lot must die, so rapid fire was opened on them. As I have heard, five men and an officer went mad from the heartrending cries.
 Most of ny comrades and officers joked as the unarmed and helpless Russians shrieked for mercy while being suffocated in the swamps and shot down.
 Another states that wounded Rus sians were killed with bayonets, ac- cording to orders, and the Russians who have surrendered are often shot down in masses according to orders, this coming from the Western front who are captured are shot down in small groups, but with the French they were more consid- crate. l. is no longer secret among the people One hears that few pris- oners are taken; they are all shot in small groups They say naively, We ion't want more mouths to feed.

100000 WORTH OF ORE IN SIGHT
NFORTUNA Mine, SAYS ENGINEER

tcD In addition to this, based on
geological conditions as existing in
the workings recently opened and in
the old workings there IL an indi-
Gated tonnage Of probable ore amount
ing to 100000 tons.
I'd Occurrence Of secondary chal-
coclte on the Bingham tunnel level
together with the adjacent workings
of the Ohio Copper company (which
appear to be an extension OF the For
tuna body and general indications
in the workings, point 10 the posi-
bility OF the ore body being wider,
longer and extending to the level
OF the Montana. Bingham. These facts
point strongly to an additional ton
mage of over 100000 tons OF pos
sible ore.
"(e) In addition to these tonnages
of mill ore there are large tonnages
of pyritic ores indicated along the
various veins; though no estimate Of
their tonnage can be made at this
time, they are believed to be Of con-
siderable value.
IS. The property possesses decided
merit for deeper exploration of lead
ores from the Bingham tunnel.
II. The property IS we'll drained
by the Montana Bingham tunnel which
gives great depth on the veins and
ideal transportation facilities togeth-
er with an excellent opportunity for
deep exploration and mining of the
ores on large scale. The water from
the tunnel is essential to milling oper-
atoms. The combination of these
factors make an exceptionally attrac-
tive mining proposition.
rs. Development work in the up
per portion of the mine has been done
and considerable ground proven with
the mill in full operation; no further
outlay for money for this purpose
should be necessary either in the For
tuna workings or on the Montana.
Bingham tunnel level.
"My findings on the Valentine and
Tiewaukee properties indicate these
properties to be in the prospective
stage, though prospects of consider
able merit, and we'll worth developing
much more thoroughly than they now
are developed.
