Monroe Young Says Trapping the Hun is More Sport
 Than Trapping Cocns
G. M. Hensley has received the following breezy letter from his cousin, Monroe Young who is now with the American Army in France.
France, Oct. 21, 1915.

Dear Cousin.-This leaves Ge we'll, fat and sassy. We are now back in small village and enjoying camp life. It seems nice to be back where we don't have to duck into the dugout, for upon the front line we were glad to get in the dugout. But, at that, it is not so bad as you would think it to be because there is always something in it to interest you and I don't believe that there is any true American that is sorry that he is over here, af- ter he has seen what we have seen.

war who had been captured and were being taken to the filthy and disgraceful prison camps?
 We have it upon the au- thority of our own American soldiers that in many insta ices when they were taken prison CT and were being hauled in stock trains to the German prison camps, German women would eongregate at the rail- way stations along the route and when the trains stopped for the prisoners to be fed, the German women would spit in the food given the prisoners, and they had to eat it or star Ve.
 Press dispatches some time ago told of how when, the kai- serin visited German field hospital and saw in what pli- ght the soldier beasts of her country were, her heart was moved and she shed tears of sorrow. But did the former Kaiserin ever weep in sadness for these women of Belgium and France that were being outraged and were Literally starving to death, while she herself, was living on the fat cf the land?
 Past events show that the Beast of Berlin" not only had it's habitat in Berlin, but that it's rapaclous disposition is characteristic of everything in Germany from the highest to the lowest, women and all.
 But now that this monstrous Beast has run her own foot into a trap and is threatened with hunger, she is sending up howl that would shame a starving coyote.
 Let her howl. She needs to go hungry, and naked too. for awhile, an feel the bitter pinch of distress.
 Germany has been sowing devastation, death and des- truetion, and has sown most lavishly and wantonly.

Day of Haruest For Beast of Berlin

Germany's plea that her people are in immediate dan- ger of hunger and suffering unless the terms of the armis- tice are modified, comes in mighty poor grace from a country that has caused so much hunger and suffering among other people.
 From what German voice of authority--from what German public body-from what group or organization of German citizens, has there yet come one word in denunciation of her mad rulers who so wicked ly and wantonly brought on a needless war, and who have stained the German nation by it's acts Of lawless barbarity until even the name of Ger many has become one of ha- tired throughout the entire civ ilized world?
 Is there any visible evidence that the German people of today are different from what they were only a few short months ago when they were pillaging Belgium and France, murdering children, raping women and heaping privations and suffering upon a helpless people?
 German women have joined in the effort to create sympa- thy for that country by send ing an appeal to Mrs. Wood row Wilson, asking her to in tercede in their behalf so the German women and children may be saved the necessity of facing a shortage of food.
 But who ever heard word of protest from the German women when their armies were murdering, starving and outraging the women and children of Belgium and Fran ce?
 Did the German women ever make any plea to their own government or to their armies to save the women and ehil- dren of other nations from hunger and from the needless suffering and inhuman indig- mites heaped upon other wo- men and children by their ar mics?
 Not a voice was raised in protest and not a single plea for mercy was made for other helpless women and children who were made to suffer ten thousand times more than any of the women and children of Germany have ever suffered.
 Where were those German women who are now so loudly asking for mercy in behalf ot suffering humanity?
 Were they, with other Ger. man women, gatehred at the railway stations in Germany splitting in the scanty bowls ol soup and other meager dishes of food they gave the French and American prisoners o1

housing rabbits, pigs and hens owned
by Oxias Bowler, Broad street, New

Tuesday afternoon, and a part OF the
live stock in the building was burned
also. The apparatus from the CEN

them and the big start the fire had.
the building could not be saved. The
fire was promptly prevented from
spreading to the house nearby. Figs
were kept in the basement. hens on
the ground floor. and rabbits on the
upper floor. The fire had such a
start when discovered by members Of
the family upstairs in the Bowler
honse that all Of the live stock could
not be removed The cause or the
f1re has not been determined. Mr..
Bouvier estimates his loss at $500
and Insurance at $500. He is es-
