One of the prisoners thus tortured still
suffers in his eyes from the ammonia
fumes generated in one of these pestilen-

In another case a train of British
prisoners was deliberately left by the
Germans under heavy fire, in the hopes
that it would draw fire. and thus pro-

Hate Choruses."
Sometimes the wounded were threat
ened with knives and revolvers. The
German officers showed not one single
spark of chivalry to fallen foe, proving
themselves mean and revengeful, and
even allowing German troops to strike
a convoy Of wounded with sabres and
and bayonets and to kick away the
crutches from under the arms of the
cripples
The blood Of all righteous Americans
would boil TO read the record Of these
German outrages
There are many things recorded that
are too disgusting to detail in this

London. March 4.

London, March 4.
TNHAT civilised men and women should
l. deliberately insult, torture and abuse
wounded or dying captives seems
thing past belief.
But 1t is true-indisputably true.
And this infamy is the greater be-
cause it has been deliberately organized
and planned and prepared by the Ger
man staff.
I wish that every American would
study document which has just been
issued by the British Government /
have spent a morning reading it-with
absolute disgust and horror.
1t is a report on the transport OF
prisoners of war to Germany-and
among its writers-those poor souls
who, wounded and dying fell into Ger
man hands--are men of my personal
acquaintance, including several Scottish
officers who have gone through horrors
unspeakable.
1t contains the frst-hand statements
and depositions of forty-eight officers
end seventy-seven noncommissioned Of
fscers and men who were taken captive
into Germany.
For the British wounded, the progress
to Germany was a veritable journey to
Calvary, and its mseres and agonies
were cruelty enhanced by the merciless
savagery of the German Red Cross
women. Forgetting the symbol which
they wore, they behaved as though they
had been barbarians
Witness after witness-Brltish officers
of the highest repute-testify to this.
The ambulance trains, which, under
the Geneva conventions, ought TO have
been used impartially for all wounded,
were never employed for the British.
British officers were fung-literally
flung, though wounded-into loathsome
cattle trucks.
Listen TO the statement of Major Van
daleur, a prominent and well.known ofii

one other wounded men, was forced into

Louisville was Il tough town for um.

One of Bill's maXims is never to
hesitate in rendering a decision. AS
the school book says, he who hesitates
gathers no moss, and Bill AYERS he
would rather he out and out wrong
about decision than putter around
thinking about it.
Decisions are reheXes, anyhow. and
il is better man should reflex freely
and quickly, even if enormously, than
TO reflex not at all.
Furthermore, Bill is n great believer
in letting the other fellows fight. He
says any time he worked in a game
played between the teams managed by
John Camel and Bill Clymer in the
American association he never had
to worry minute. These managers
spent all their time fighting between
themselves, and consequently had no
time to gun for William

CHANCE TO SIGN HOLLOCHER
President Hickey Passed Up oppor-
tunity to Land Sparkling Little
Cub Shortstop.

1t is with a feeling of regret that
President Branch Hickey of the Card
inals watches the sparkling fielding
and timely hitting of Charlie Hollocher.
Not 50 many months ago Hickey had Il
chance to sign HollOcher, but passed
him up in the belief that he was only
mediocre.
HollOcher is a graduate from St.
Louis sand-lOt diamonds. After some
short successes in minor leagues he
was with the Portland club in the Pa
ciiic coast league when Walter Nc
McCredie, manager of that club and
very friendly to the Cardinals, recon-
mended the young player for Il major
league berth. Hickey at first was in
c'ined to dispatch a scout to the West
to look over the shOrtstop, but later
decided that the boy was only flash.

SOUTHPAW BATTERS CAN HIT
No Reason Why Left-Handed Batter
Cannot Connect With Twirling
From the Port Side.

UGgO Bezdek is one National league
manager who refuses to believe that
lcft-hand batter cannot hit sOuthpaw
twirIing. ITO my way Of thinking
there is no earthly reason why LETT
handed batter should not be able to
hit southpaw twirling," Hugo says. 81
can remember that Jimmy Sheckard
and Johnny Evers Of the old Chicago
Cubs were never taken out because
pOrtsiders opposed. Iris Speaker, Ty
Cobb and Frank Baker Of the Ameri-
can league are all left-hand batterS,
and yet you never hear Of any of
those men being relegated to the bench
when a southpaw is on the mound. It's
Just simply u case Of left-hand hitters
not getting enough practice against
southpaw pitching"
