AMERICAN SENTRY BUTCHEREO
Savaeery of Huns Toward American
Troops Equal To That of Wild
Men of Philippines.

With the American Army in France
Dec. Fisherman atrocities against
American soldiers are officially re-
ported. An American sentry has
been found with his throat cut and
it is officially declared, "he must have
been so killed after capture"
Information concerning German
savagery has reached the troops in
one OF a series of bulletins read to
them by the unit commanders and
posted on the bulletin boards. Here
is what they heard:
after a raid by the Germans on
trenches held by American troops, a
lone sentry of - infantry was
found with his throat cut from ear to
ear. He had been surprised by an
overwhelming force of Germans and
must have been so killed after cap
ture.
"Such brutality is familiar to old
soldiers who served against savages
in the Philippine campaign"
Another bulletin tells the men how
the Germans in occupied sections of
France and Belgium are turning wom-
en- and children out of their homes
into the SHOWS, the buildings being
then given over to soldiers, horses and
material. ~. .
