VILLAGERS
PLEAD BUT THEIR
HOMES ARE BURNED
NO MERCY is EXTENDED BY
GERMANS. 1T is OUR OR
DERS" SAYS OFFICER.

With the American Army in
Champagne, Wednesday, Oct 2S.S
(By The Associated Press)-A de-
tachment OF engineers from Gener-
al Gouraud's army in exploring the
region from which the Germans
have been driven in this sector has
discovered in many villages evidence
by which the destruction OF dwell
ings, churches and other public
buildings was organized.
The region along the Retouren
aboundS with indications al willlul
devastation of villages that were
never within range OF artillery, but
were found leveled to the ground.
In others, where houses were still
erect, they were mined for slow de-
struction, while the purely military
institutions such as barracks built by
the Germans with their own troops
were left intact. Orders for the burn
ing OF Juniville, large village in
the valley OF the Retouren, arrived
on the day OF evacuation.
Foe Lives Splendidly.
The Germans had built comfort
able quarters, with casinos. officers
clubs, moving picture theatres, ho-
tells. and rest houses for the soldiers
in the village. The people pleaded
with the officers to spare their
homes, but the torch was put to ev-
cry house. The village was one vast
furnace when the French entered
it, Mont St. Remy shared the same
fate.
Chatelet, Alincourt, Bignicourt
and Vile sur Returne were partial
" saved because French troops
pressed the Germans there so closely
that the sappcrs left behind to do the
work were surprised. Some of these
men fled before they could set oft
the mines which had been prepared.
Others were captured.
Destroy Many Wells.
1t has been necessary for French
sappers and miners to explore the
cellar of every house remaining in
tact Ill TINS region. Under most ol
them mines have been found. The
mouths of wells were so mined that
explosion would fill them with rock
and earth. At Aussonce, mines we're
discovered labelled to indicate the
class OF destruction for which they
were prepared. These mines were
provided with glass tubes contalnin-
ing a corrosive liquid to eat away
the wire connection with the mine,
and cause an explosion with lapse
of time indicated on each tube. Some
were marked for an hour, others
for u and some for 20 hours. Some
were marked for as high as72 hours.
Preparations for the destruction
of these villages went on in the pres
ence of the people and in spite OF
their supplications. At Neuyille'

home might be spared, an officer re

there is no review work for certifi-

with the rulings of the state boards
of education and of regents.
A gratifying feature of this SUM

goodly number of graduates of the
school who are taking work in the

tend during the summer sessions and
thus to secure this advanced diploma.

FRAZIER SAYS
CITY MAN NOT
HUSKY ENOUGH
Would Last Half Day, De
clares Governor To La
Dor Reserve Agents

Bismarck, N. D, July 5.-Thirty-
three county federal labor reserve
committees and 203 town commit
tees already have been organized in
North Dakota as a means of meet
ing the emergency demand FOR farm
labor John B. Brown, u. 8. farm
help specialist, advised the North
Dakota council Of defense yesterday.
Governor Frazier cast" some cold
water on the federal labor reserve
proposition when he expressed the
opinion that the average city man,
taken from the store or office to fol-
low the binder, would last at most,
about half a day. He did not scout
the federal labor reserve theory, but
insisted some provision should be
made for the hardening of these
volunteer workers before they take
their place in the fields.
Mr.. Brown stated that, all efforts
to induce prospective farm laborers
to take up voluntary training had
failed, largely for lack of gymnasium
and other athletic facilities,
The principal problem confronting
North Dakota, next to getting labor,
is paying for it, said Mr.. Brown
Kansas, Mr. Brown was notified in
a wire received today, is paying IS
per day for ordinary farm labor, Sc
for common thresher helpers, 81 for
stackers and Sc for headers. North
Dakota, said Mr.. Brown, usually is
compelled to pay 81 day more than
Kansas does, and this year, stated
the specialist, North Dakota is mot
in a position to do this. j.
Mr.. Brown said that had the state
cent rate for farm labor, it might not
be compelled to pay a premium for
transient helpers, but this fight had
not been successful, although farm
help specialists Of the western
states had gone direct to the Presi-
dent with their. plea, Mr.. Brown
