HUNS DISTRIBUTE
/ POISONED CANDY
Methodist Clergyman Tells
Of Atrocities.
REVELS STAGED IN T0MBS
Bodies Of Dead Desecrated by
TeutOnic Barbarians.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Clergymen
who attended the meeting Of the
Methodist Preachers OF New York at
the Methodist Book Concern yester-
day were greatly shocked by the
statement Of the Rev. L. N. Byssche
that Germans manufactured poisoned
candy and ordered soldiers in north
ern France and Belgium to dis
tribute it.
Mr.. Byssche went TO France as the
representative OF the Methodist Board
Of Foreign Missions to distribute
100000 war relief funds raised by
Methodists in this country, and told
the preachers he had seen both the
candy and its effects upon unsuspi-
cious children, especially in the towns
OF northern France recently vacated
by the German troops.
Such Conduct Not War.
"Such conduct" said Mr.. Byssche,
as many cIergymen clenched their
hands and gasped, 'is not war. The
Germans claim through their Kaiser
to be very near God; TO be doing what
Ee would have them do. / ask you
what would be left for the followers
OF the devil to do? This is boiled
down barbarism of the worst, OF the
most contemplate type. 1t is worthy
Of death TO anybody, to any govern
ment. There can be no doubt about
who made the candy or who put It
In secret places where children would
be likely to md IL. / speak Of things
I saw"
'Only a little less than the doings OF
the devil were the going into vaults
in cemeteries. throwing UuS bodies ~
the dead and making Of the places
scenes OF revelry and drunkenness.
One can charge off to war the burn
ing OF buildings, the blowing up a
bridges, the destruction of towns, but
the poisoning of wells, the ruin of
trees, the torture OF innocent animals
these are the acts OF minds diseased,
Of people who must be curbed in the
interest OF the rest OF US"
As a minister OF the Gospel Mr..
Byssche said he was a pacifist on the
subject OF war-on ordinary occa-
sions.
Useless Talking to Cannon.
But" he added. there is no use
talking back to a cannon. / am told
in france that men prefer to be cap
tured, il captured at all, by Turks.
for they say that OF the three ma
tionals Turks are more humane and
decent than either the Germans or
the Austrians.
1T is more important to America
that we take part in this war than IL
is to Europe. The fact may as well
be admitted that in many parts of
Europe Americans are looked upon
as buffers.
we see the true attitude OF many
Europeans expressed in the German
papers, which are frank enough to
say what they think. The fact may
as well be admitted that the United |
States is on trial. Many say we will |
never do anything. Some opinion OF |
this kind obtains outside OF Germany, |
can tell you. There is a great NOR
al issue. America must meet it."

to horses, and cows were SO much
like horses.
City Girl Tends Herd.
Today, after nearly a year, that girl
is perfectly convinced that making
about two-thirds of a good stout
farmhandHl is the greatest lark In the
world. She "swanked" British for
bragging) about how fond the cows
in the dairy had become OF her. and
how she could put the gear on horse
az quickly as any body in the neigh
borhood. She said she hadn't pIowed
any yet, but was about to graduate
from caring for the poultry and milk
ing and attending to half a dairy herd
of over twenty cows. and intended to
tackle plowing in the spring. She
laughingly showed her hands and
guessed that by the time she had done
a seasons plowing none of the men
would be likely to bother her by at
tempting to hold them.
All year long she has been getting
up at $3.50 in the morning, in a won
derful khaki uniform of high boots,
short skirt and trench coat, to take
care of her cows. She proclaimed that
the chickens and ducks had become
a nuisance because they followed her
all over the place, while even the
pheasants had during the very cold
period become so tame that they had
made overtures in. the direction of
sociability.
met her week-ending in London,
and she talked about going out to
Canada or Australia after the war and
becoming a farmer in her own right.
She was intensely interested in what
some of the Americans in the party
were telling her about pioneering in
South Dakota in the years after the
Rosebud reservation was opened.
War Changes Life Plans.
So much for what tho war has done
to the tastes and incfinations of a
clever young woman of the middle
class. Now here is the story of a.
young man who apologetically edged
himself up toward me I'm the lounge
of hotel where we were having our
coffee, remarking that
he took the liberty because he could
tell by my tone that i was an Ameri-
can and had discovered that Ameri-
cans didn't insist upon much formal
ity in introductions.
He was born and raised in London
and was a graduate OF the City of
London College. He looked thirty
three years old and modestly admitted
that before the war he had been by
way of getting very fairly established
in business life. But he wanted to
know about America, about the West, |
about the great Canadian Northwest. !
He was looking for somebody who |
could tell him about South America. |

| thousand other avenues of independ.
ent, self-respecting employment at
| good wages are taking the women
| workers away from the homes. The
effect OF this Is Immediately reflected
| in the new styles and methods of en-
tertainment. Not a great many people
care in these times even to attempt
much entertainment on the old scale
but IL they did they would find 1t
well-nigh impossible.
Women as drivers of taxicabs, of
delivery carts and even coal wagons,
as conductors of omnibuses, operators
of lifts" and.in many other occupa-
tions have distinctly made good. More
over, most OF them like the new kinds
of employment better than the old.
The other day l talked to a French
woman, an exile from her own coun-
try, now working in a munition plant
She had lived in one OF the northern
provinces when the Germans came.
In the family were herself, her hus-
band and two little girls.
The husband and father promptly
Joined the colors, and before the war
was a hundred days old he lay under
one of those pathetic white wooden
crosses that stretch in a wide band
behind the present fighting area from
Switzerland to the sea. The mother
and two children fled, the children
finally being left with their grand
parents in a zone OF safety while the
mother came to England.
She told me that for two years she
worked in a London hotel, where she
was paid one shilling a day and
provided with quarters and subsist-
ence. 1t was fearfully hard work,
for there Is never enough help to go
around in a hotel nowadays in Eng
land. In addition to the work ia
miliar to a cbambermaid in an Amer
ican hotel, she was required to carry
coal upstairs and ashes downstairs,
and to feed and care for the grate
fires in some twenty-five hotel rooms.
Many Prefer Trenches.
Seeing the women in England do
ing this kind of work one doesn't
wonder that every little while a
story comes back from the trenches
about some thoroughly capable sol
dier having been exposed as wom-
an in disguise. They might easily
enough justify the masquerade on
such a ground as II was easier In
the trenches than at home. L

Beginning seriously to change the face
Of things in England. Almost every
thing is scarce except patriotism and
money.
Labor grows scarcer with every week,
and no wonder! Women are constantly
being pressed into new services as. sub

effect Just as in America, women seem

Asked IL he didn't believe q good

towns would be willing to come back
and live in England II they could
only get a chance at the soil, he said
he didn't think so. Most Of them had
come to think England wasn't big
enough for the kind OF thing they
wanted to do.
Neither did he believe that many
Of they would go to the United
States; they wanted to help build for
their own country, even IL they didn't
believe they could do It more effee-

sent it home to her children when
she earned only one shilling a day.
/ Now she is getting together a pro-
l|igfous hoard which at the wars
md she will garry back to France
to help re-establish a home for her
self and the two children. She was
bright, cheerful, and happy in the
thought which nowadays is a firm
conviction with all the French, that
the war Is going to end in about a
year at the most, with a glorious vic
tory for France.
England is full of French and Bel
gian exiles. Many of the Belgians
are likely to remain here. Their at
tachment to their own country is not
so deep as that of TN French, and
II has been so thoroughly wrecked
that II seems doubtful whether the
scattered fragments of the nation can
ever be restored to their own land.
They love Belgium as devotedly as
ever. just as the Irish who went to
America following 1S46 loved Ireland;
but like the Irish-Americans and un-
like the French, they are not likely
to return.
French Hope To Return.
On the other hand, the devotion of
the French to their own soil is mar
velous. 1t would be hard to find a
Frenchman or a French woman
among the exiles who has any other
thought than to return~home as soon
as possible. Nearly all OF those Iiv-
ing in England are working, earning
good wages and saving a considerable
part, and almost without exception
they invest their savings In the Sc
curities that the French government
offers to them. II Is ,heir way of
helping France.
The redistribution of labor in Great
Britain through the simple influence
Of good wages which take it away
from the employments where It is
least needed and transfer II to those
where 1t is most needed amounts to
q quiet revolution.
or course there are mistakes and
absurdities in the process. a good
many square pegs get into round
holes, but the spirit of service, the de-
termination to be useful and to learn
TO be useful just as rapidly as pos
sible, is almost universal. The other
evening 1 met a young woman who
had never in her life before the war
attempted any more serious physical
labor than a tennis game or a swim
ming match. She had lived all her
life in outer London, knowing the city
and its ways very much better than
she did the country. She assured me
that when she volunteered to work on
a farm from which the men had all
gone to the war or the factories she
just knew enough about a COW not to
be afraid Of II, because she was used
