 SHOCKED GERMANS
AMBASSADOR GERARD APPEALED TO BY GERMAN SOLDIERS TO
 STOP BRUTALiTIES.
MASSACRE IS DESCRIBED
Above Terrific Thunder of Cannon Could Be Heard Heartrendine Cries of Russians Crying "Oh, Prus-
 sians! Oh, Prussans!"

Washington.-The fact that German soldiers appealed to Ambassador Ge- rard as the representative of Chris tian state to protest against atroci- ties and the butcheries in which their commanders forced them to partici- pate will be disclosed in a pamphlet soon to be issued by the committee on Public Information, entitled Ger man War Praetices.'

 Another who, through the ambassa- dor, addressed his appeal to the American government against the butchery of prisoners, signed his let ter "A Soldier and Man Who Is No Barbarian"
 This was the protest of a German soIdier an eyewitness of the slaugh- ter of Russian soldiers in the Nassau rian lakes and swamps, continue:
 Tt was frightful, heartrending. as these masses of human beings were driven to destruction Above the ter rife thunder of the cannon could be heard the heartrending cries of the Russians, crying Oh, Prussiansl Oh, Prussiansi but there was no mercy. Our captain had ordered: The whole lot must die; so rapid fire AS 1 have heard, five men and one officer on our side went mad from these heart-rending cries. But most of my comrades and the officers joked as the unarmed and helpless Russians shriek- ed for mercy while they were being suffocated in the swamps and shot down. The order was, Close up and at it harder For days those heart rending yelIs followed me, and l dare not think ot them or I shall go mad, There is no God, there is no morality and no ethics any more. There are no human beings any more, but only beasts. Down with militarism"

Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, the great French actress, in a signed article in Harper'S Bazaar, attributes the numer- ous divorces that have come into the courts of late years to lack of charm in the women concerned

For if one has charm, she will be loved And q woman must have love to be happy Beauty does not matter. If d woman has charm she can secure whatever she wants-loye, success, power"
