After a brief pause we went ahead. On the evening of August we reached a farmyard near Duren. Our company was billeted in a barn. No one knew what we had to do. Ignorant of the purpose of our being sent so near the Belgian border we laid down on our beds of straw. Something had to happen soon to rescue us from this un- certainty
 How few suspected that would be the last night for many of us on Ger man ground. An alarm took us from our beds at a. m. The company gathered and the captain demonstrat- ed the war situation. AS to the direc- ton of the march he himself was ig- norant
 Scarcely half an hour later 10 big trucks drove up and stopped on the road before our quarters. The driv CTS also were ignorant and waited for orders. Discussion of our destination started afreSh. The orderlies who had been keeping their ears open said we would enter Belgium that day. OIHeTS CO1llTuulCleu tHelH, DD bIt knew for certainty.
 But the order to march did not come and in the evening we went back to our straw But the rest was short. At 1 q. m. we were again aroused and honored by speech from our captain. He said we were at war with Belgium. He told us to show ourselves brave. deserve the iron cross and bring honor to Germany. Then he continued
 We only make war against the armed force. the Belgian army. Life and property of civilians are protected under international law. Yet you sol diers must not forget to keep your lives for the fatherland or sell them as

C,syrsst Sy psf-ed Frss P~H

This is a true story of the invasion of Belgium and northern France at the be- ginning of the world war, written by an officer of the German army who took part in the mad rush toward Paris. Sickened by the atrocities committed upon civilians and soldiers, he de- serted after several months service and finally made his way to the United States. His disclosure of the un- speakabie crueIties perpe- trated by the German sol 6ers. under orders from their officers, is one of the most sensational documents the war has produced.

S,Oan1p Near Camp Wheeler to
be Drained by the Red Cross

reached a critical stage, and that un-
less the swamp was drained there
would be much trouble with malaria
there next summer because the
swampy areas surrounding the camp
are breeding places for large numbers
of malaria carrying mosquitoes.
Assistant. Surgeon General III. r.
Carter, who IS recognized as an inter-
national authority on malaria had as :
serted that unless the swamp was
drained Immediately fully fifty per
cent Of the military forces in Camp
wheeler would suffer from malaria be-
fore the end of the summer.
Red tape prevented the War Depart
n1ent draining the swamp. Because
the swamp lands were not government
property, but improvement to private
property would be incidental TO any
work undertaken by the government
the work would have been considered
an illegal act. The Red Cross came
to the rescue Of the department and
the soldiers and undoubtedly prevented
an epidemic OF malaria this summer.

SAYS STATE DRAINED OF WHITE
MEN, WHILE THE NEGROES
"HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND TO
EAT, SLEEP AND LOAF"
BY GEORGE n. MANNING.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 26.-Sec-
retary of War Baker has received \
letter from Governor Cats of Florida
complaining because the negroes in the
first Florida draft have not been called
for service while all the white men
have been in the training camps for
several months.
There have been numerous com =
plants ana much agitation all
over Florida, Governor Cats says in
his letter, because the state has been
drained OF white men and all the ne
groes have been left behind TO eat and
sion among the whites the Governor
says, that the negroes should he taken
to prevent them attacking the whites.
Six thousand whites were conscript-
ed from Florida in the first draft con-
tingent and put in training camps
while the 1000 negroes whose names
were drawn are still at tome, says Gov
ernor Cats.
Senator Fletcher of Florida took
this matter up with Secretary Baker
about a month ago with q view to have
the situation corrected.
At that time he learned that the
problem Of segregation was in the
way OF the war department calling the
negroes to service. and that they had
not been called in the other southern
states.
The difficulties the war department
faced, Senator Fletcher was told, were
that there were no negro units in the
service to which they could he attach
ed that the people in the southern
states did not want the negro camps
located in their confines and that the
southern negro is SO susceptible TO
hard winter weather that it was con-
sidered very dangerous to put him
in training camps in the northern
states where no objections would be
made to his presence.
To take the southern negroes from
their homes and put them in the north
ern camps in winter would cause
thousands of them to die of pneumonia,
war department officials believed, Sem
ator Fletcher was told
Senator Fletcher was given the as
surance. however, that the negroes
throughout the southern states would
be called before any more white men.

called very soon.
