 Doctor Laurent carried his wife and baby to an old aqueduct that was being rebuilt by the creek.

There was Madame Tilmans there. who had had three thousand francs stolen from her and was misused besides.
 These were just 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 German peace, while there is Belgian alive to argue about it. They will remember the Ger mans a long time. think.

Something about the branch head quarters ruins made us think of break. fast, which we had forgotten, so back to the hotel. Then We started back to our lines. We were ordered to keen to the main road all the way back, or we would be shot on sight, and to re- port to headquarters immediately on our return. I thought if the sight of me was so distasteful to anybody, I would not take the chance of offend ing, being anxious to be polite in such cases. So we stuck to the main road.
 Fritz did not give us any trouble and we were back by five, with all hands out to greet us when we hove in sight, and a regular prodigal son welcome on tap. for we were later than they had expected us, and they had made up their minds that some accident had happened
 While was around Dixmude, saw many living men and women and chil- dren who had been mutilated by the Germans. but most of them were wom- en and children. Almost every one of the mutilated men was too old for military service. The others had been killed. guess.
 But the Belgians were not the only ones who had suffered from German kultur. Many French wounded were tortured by the Huns, and we were constantly finding the mutilated bodies

 Well, We went over this time, and the machine guns were certainly going 1t strong. We were pretty sore about the chaplain and the Swiss and all we could not make 1t and had to come back. Only one company reached the Boche trenches and not a man of it came back who had not been wounded on the way and did not reach the trench. They were just wiped out
 The captain was missing. too. We thought he was done for, but about two o'clock in the morning, he came back. He simply fell over into the trench, all in. He had been wounded four times, and had lain in a shell crater full of water for several hours. He would not % back for treatment then. and when daylight came, it was too late. because we were practically cut off by artillery fire behind the front line trenches.
 When daylight came, the artillery fire opened up right on us. and the Germans had advanced their lines into some trenches formerly held by us and hardly forty-ive yards away. We re- ceived bombs and shells right in our faces. A Tunisian in our company got crazy. and ran back over the parados. He ran a few yards, then stopped and looked back at US. I think he was coming to his senses, and would have started back to us. Then the sDot where he had been was empty. and a second later his body from the chest down fell not three yards from the parados. I do not know where the top part went. That same shell cut groove in the low hilltop before it ex- ploded. He had been hit by big shell, and absolutely cut in two. l have seen this happen to four men. but this was the only one in France.
 About seven o'clock. we received re- endorsements. and poured fresh troops over and retook the trench. No sooner had we entered it, however. than the Germans turned their artillery On US, not even waiting fer their own troops to retire safely. They killed numbers

of our troops. It 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 wagon load ed with forty French wounded, and shot every one of them. I 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 a while some of them saw what they were going to get, and being as game sports as 1 ever heard of, tried to fight. They were finished off al once, of course.
 The former burgomaster had been shot and finished off with an ax. 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 cut of his house, trying to carry his father, a mar 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 ax, and left him there to die. Those who were spared were made 10 dig the graves for the others.
 There was a doctor there in Dix nude, who certainly deserves mili- tary cross if any man ever did. He was called from his house by the Ger mans at , 30 one morning. He left his wife, who had had baby two days before, in the house. He was taken to the square, lined up against 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 a rattle and the other men went West. They shot him. toe. but though he was riddled with bullets he lived, somehow, and 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 it was only

NATIVE WIDOWS NOT PROTECTED
 AT PRESENT TIME

The memorial passed by the Alas ka Native Brotherhood on Nov Z" 1917 and their resolution for the enforcement of tue TerTitoriaI anu Federal laws, passed Dec. 2'' 1S!" pristed in the Alaska Daily Enplre February g. 1918, has had very beneficial effect on the Natives nv ing at Juneau, says that paper Ill a recent issue.
 The local ministers, Worklng 1o4

 made it their point to endorse the
 resolution oF the A. N. B., using
 it in their sermons at church ser vices and prayer meetings, urging
 the Natives to comply, with the laws During the week there were seven weddings solemniEed in the Russian church and three in the Native Pres
 byter!Ga church. And there are mere to come iu the near future.
 The wrongful distribution of pro perty belonging to the deceased h. d'ans. mentioned in the resolution needs some explanation for the benta fit O. those who are not acquainted with Indian ,rfbaI customs and who do not realize the extent of the harm done by such practice.
 Fanter |. F. Kashevaroff, who IS aL authority On Native customs i'll the North, when seen and asked for additional detnils, said:

 the wife has the custody of all moneys earned by the husband or herself She is also the sole GUS todian of their joint property. Yet. wien the husband dies, she has no voice in the distribution of the es-
 tlta as she is not the heir to the ! property. The husbands tribal Tela tiy"S are the sole heirs. They divide the property among themselves, of ten leaving the widow in absolute want and penury. As the widow is luot q legal wife, according to the 1 laws of the country, she has no re- dress, or perhaps she thinks she has no legal right to her share, and hence, hse is left destitute. Tn tho former days this custom did not brjuO- SO much harm, for tribal GUS ! tom made it imperative on the part ios the husbands trbie to supply her with a protector, who was the IneDhew of the deceased, but at pres ent t'e young people refuse to be ti~d to Their old aunts, and if pres sure is brought upon them, they ap- ply to the Courts for protection.

 This iS an appeal that Uncle sam has sent out to all loyal Americans, in hope that enough Of these in strumeuts may be thus gathered to supply eyes for the Iookouts on the ships which are crossing the Allan lie, maybe through the submarine gore.
 In cur haste, and without giving tho matter sufficient thought We think this small matter for the government to be asking Us to give up our private property. and even though rbe department is taking every DrecaUtion to sateguard the loss Of that property, We know that some will be lost, and some will be damaged.
 But let Us pause for a moment and give the matter most careful thought.
