chInlsts at Bridgeport, Conn.,. have
been notified by President Wilson that

by the wage award of the war labor
board they will be barred from en-
ployment for a year and draft boards
Will be Instructed 10 reject any claim
OF exemption from military service
based upon their alleged usefulness on
war production.
The presidents warning went In a
letter addressed to the machinists re-
plying to resolutions forwarded to him
announcing the strike because of dis
satisfaction over the war labor boards
award and later Interpretation by an
umpire.
The war department also has taken
over the Smith h Wesson company Of
Springfield, Mass. and will operate the
plant and business to secure continu-
Gus production and prevent Industrial
disturbance.
The company recently gave notice
that IL would prefer to have the gov
ernment operate Its plant rather than
abide by decision Of the war labor
board enforcing collective bargaining.

We Were Constantly Finding the Mutl.
lated Bodies OF Our Troops.

OF our troops. II was thought that the
Germans often mutilated a dead body
as an example to the living.
The Germans had absolutely no re-
spect whatever for the Red Cross. For
instance, they captured a wagon load
shot every one Of them. l saw the
dead bodies.
When the Germans came to Dix
nude they got all the men and women
and children and made them march
before them with their hands In the
air. Those who did not were knocked
down. After while some OF them saw
what they were going to get. and being
as game sports as ever heard OF, tried
10 fight. They were finished OF at
once. of course.
The former burgomaster had been
shot and finished of with an ak,
though he had not resisted, because he
wanted TO save the lives OF his citi-
zens. They told me of one case, in Dix
nude, where a man came out OF his
house. trying TO carry his father, a
man of eighty, TO the square, where
they were ordered 10 report. The old
man could not raise his hands, so they
dragged his son away from him,
knocked the old man in the head with
an ak. and left him there TO die. Those
who were spared were made to dig the
graves for the others.
There was doctor there In Dix
nude, who certainly deserves a mill
tary cross If any man ever did. He
was called from his house by the Ger
mans at 80 one morning. He left his
wife, who had had a baby two days
before, in the house. He was taken TO
the square. lined up against a wall
with three other big men Of the town.
Then he saw his wife and baby being
carried TO the square on a mattress by
four Germans. He begged TO be al
lowed TO kiss his wife good-by, and
they granted him permission. AS he
stepped away. there was rattle and
the other men went West. They shot
him, too, but though he was riddled
begged the German officer to let him
accompany his wife to the prison
where they were taking her. This was
granted too, but on the way, they
heard the sound of firing. The soldiers
yelled. "Die Franzosen !" and dropped
the mattress and ran. But II was only
some of their own butchers at work.
Doctor Laurent carried his wife and
baby TO an old aqueduct that was being
rebuilt by the creek. There they lived
Tor three days and three nights, on the
few herbs and the water that Doctor
Laurent sneaked out and got at night.
Doctor Laurent says that when the
Germans killed and cruclied the civil
ians at Dixmude. they first robbed
them OF their watches, pocketbooks.
rings and other things. There was a
Madame Tilmans there, who had had
three thousand francs stolen from her
and was misused besides.
These were Just a very few of the
things that happened at just one place
where the Germans got TO work with
their "kultur." So you can picture the
Belgians agreeing on a German peace,
while there is Belgian alive to argue
about II. They will remember the Ger
mans a long time. l think. But they
need not worry: there are a lot Of us
who will not forget. either.
