Reports from the war front Indicate
thai the colored troops are fighting
bruyely. The generals in the foreign
divisions pay them the highest COM
pliments for their valor and sl2ilL
Their specially is the bayonet, in the
use Of which they excel all others
They Kill more Huns with that weapon
than the soldiers OF other races do
They prefer a stand-up, face-to.face
fight, in which experience their fight
ing qualities are most conspicuous.
The French officers are delighted with
their prowess and will welcome fresh
drafts of Negro troops. Here is an
other evidence of the Negros fidelity
to liberty and democracy, fact that
should not be forgotten in the changes
that are coming on.

GRAIN.

Chicago, July H.-Temporary de-
clines which took place in the corn
market today were more than over
come by a sharp falling off in ad-
vices of shipment from the country.
Opening prices which ranged 5-S to
| ID cent lower with August |. 80
81 to LOO IA and Sept. SO 7-S to
90 IA, were followed by decided
rally which carried August well
above yesterdays finish.
About midday the market weak
ened again under free selling on the
part of the commission houses, in
flucnced by reports of better crop
conG tions and by the fact that
wheat premiums were fading.
Prices closed nervous 81 to ! IA
net lower, with August sl.60@l.6O
Is and September Sl.60 l-s to
$l.6C IA.
Oats rose with corn. After open
ing unchanged to 3-8 cent off with
y cents to y l-S cents. the
market scored a material upturn.
Higher quotations on hogs lifted
provisions.

HUN WRITER ADMITS
GERM ANY MUST GIVE
UP ALL OF BELGIUM

London July H.-German news
papers give prominence to an inter
esting statement on Belgium by Pro-
fessor Hans Delbrueck in the Neue
Wiener Journal says an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Amster-
dam. The statement reads:
Germany now will lose nothing by
declaring her readiness to evacuate
Belgium without conditions and to
reinstate her independence and in
tegrity. Germany has plenty of 9TH
er safeguards. Belgium is not only
q German question, it is a world
question.
mo peace IS possible in the world
unless Belgium is as free as before
the war. Even America has the
greatest interest in Belgium. Until
Belgium becomes free, the world
can not accept even the indirect
rule of Germany over her.

FEEDING OF PRISONERS.
French Rule Rations to Captives
Same as Own for Idle Troops.
Modified in Case of Germans.

Detroit Free Press: In the be-
ginning, the French adopted the
rule of giving prisoners exactly the
same ration as their own troops
not on active service. Though
they insist on good cooking, they
eat less, in bulk, than the British,
the German, or the Americans. SO
this ration is slightly smaller than
the liberal allowance of the Amer
lean or British soldier. Still, it is
enough.
Later in the game it was estab-
lished that French prisoners in
Germany were not getting the
same treatment; that, in fact they
received far less food than the
German reservists or idle troops.
The French maintain that their
only way OF protecting comrades
in German hands is to take repris-
ais against the prisoners they
hold. The Germans cut down the
meat ration for French prisoners to
Sc grams a day. The French at
the time were giving their German
captives $50 grams a day. When.
after representations through neu-
tral channels, the French failed to
get any adjustment of this matter,
they adopted the reprisal policy and
cut down the ration for German
prisoners to 6 grams.
As things have finally worked
out the French have adopted, in
this item of meat, three regimes.
he first is known as favored" 1t
is for Alsatians formerly modified
in the German army, for the Czechs
among the Austrian prisoners, and
in general for the members of sub
ject races fighting for the central
powers against their will. They re-
ceive 300 grams a day. The "ordi-
nary" regime is the one followed
at the beginning f the war, before
the action of the Germans made
reprisals necessary. Under it live
the Austrian prisoners. since Aus
tria is still giving prisoners the
same rations as their own inactive
troops. It allows go grams of meat
A day. Finally, as mentioned be-
fore. there is the special" regime,
made necessary by the conditions
Of the times for the Germans.
Taking this special German re-
gime as the only one pertinent to
the present inquiry, the prisoners
are divided into two classes-work-
ing and nonworking. Their ~
lions are scientifically calculated /
for nu;ritive value on the basis of
-calories"-the yardstick of the
modern food controller. The work
ng prisoners receive a little more
han 1900 calories a week. the non
working a little more than 1900.
Few OF us know how to think in
erms OF calories, so let me estab-
ish 4 comparison. The average
Sorkingman Of the United States,
believe. consumed, before the waf,
bout $500 ealories a day, where
IS the prisoner under this regime
,ets 5000 a day However, neither
II these items allows for waste.
