Escaped Huns;
Caught, Beaten

Paris, Dec. i2.-Slavery imposed by
the Huns on defenseleS people OF IN
vaded regions took its crueleSt form
in what were known as disciplinary
battalions.''
They were made up OF young girls,
magistrates. school teachers police
officials and civilians in every sta
ton Of life.
The battalions were marched from
one plant to another to perform hard
labor. They were starved and beat
en- and driven to their task when
they were i'll.
A f7-year-old boy, native OF Cau-
dry, was in a disciplinary battal-
ion" 81 months. He escaped six times
but was captured every time except
the sixth attempt.
Each time the Germans caught me
and returned me to the battalion l re-
ceived hundred strokes with a stick
about three inches wide." he says.
Il was stripped with the exception
OF my shirt and trousers and laid flat
ON bench. A German soldier held
me down by the head and kept my
mouth shut with his hand. The hum
dred strokes landed on all parts of
my body.
After each of these beatings was
scarcely able to move for a week
And after this punishment had been
inflicted I was thrown into prison.
Sometimes they kept me there two
months
I'VE received only a loaf Of bread
and some water every three days. Ev-
cry fifteen days we were given a
small piece of meat.
Ten of my comrades from Caudry
died from privations and brutal treat-
ment."

This is the time of year when Rolled
oats are in the greatest demand, when
stocks are largely exhausted and the
manufactured product is not available
from the new crop until late in the

seems TO occur annually, we have or
dered from our st. Louis connection
over $4,000 bags of Rolled Oats and
have placed them in the hands Of the
New England wholesalers and grocers

We suggest every family order a 90

can do much work easier by eating
Oatmeal than by using any other cereal
or meat.

The claim that has been made for wears
mat IN licensed communities the Ii.
cehsees are a great factor in seeing that
the Illicit sale Of liquor is suppressed is
hardly substantiatcd now that the chr
tam has been raised and the real condj.
tons IN Bennington are revealed. With
several clubs selling liquor, probably not
only to members but to their guests. it
would seem that the business Of the n
looms would have been cut to such an 81
tent that the men who paid large sums
Tor the privilege Of selling liquor openly
and legally would have complained about
the clubs business.
All kinds Of explanations and argu.
ments may be made, but here is the stu.
alton in a nutshell:
Bennington Is different, in respect to
The liquor business, from every other
large community in Vermont. 1t is ne.
culiar to itself, as the advertisements
used to say about the patent medicines
The town is located almost in the cor
ner Of the state. with rum holes within
easy reach both in New York and Massa-
chusetts, particularly New York Back
~ the old prohibitory days, previous to
1908, liquor was sold moro openly in Ben
nington than in any other town in the
state Officials WI prosecuted sellers
found that their action was not popular
just as Philadelphia has been corrupt
and contented in municipal affairs Ben
nngton fell into a way of more than
toleratlng the sale of liquor Bennington
has been licensed town every year but
one under local option, the town being
carried by the no-licensc voters by ma
jority of two at one March meeting. We
presume the people of Bennington will
explain the situation by saving that the
conditions there were an inheritance of
the old prohibitory days. We do not
know how the custom of selling liquor
an clubs became 50 general in Bennington.
but It Is orr guess that its leading club.
including IN is membership many bust
ness men, countenanced the sales in con
ncction with the management Of its grill
room Other clubs knew OF this practice
and the custom was extended to several
organizations. The wholesale raid will
stop the liquor selling in all these clubs.
The change will be an important one in
Denhington and will help some of its
residents to get accustomed to conditions
which they are bound to face in the not
distant future, when prohibition will be-
come national. The handwriting on the
wall stands out so conspicuously that he
who runs may read. Booze selling is
doomed in the United States, Bennington
included.
