try to have paid for those precious
lives? And yet some ask why the
boys are being sent to France.
For this war, munitions cannot be
bought with dollar, but with mil
lions of dollars; for this war sacri-
flces have to be made, not on the
smallest possible scale but on the
greatest; for this war we need, not the
individual efforts of every man and
woman within the nation but the
united efforts of every man and wo-
man here. Only when we drop our
differences, be they political, indus
trial, religious or domestic, shall we
set our feet firmly on the road to sue
cess.
'This is time of crisis and we ask
you to loan your reserves to the gov
ernment, that.the boys who are fight
ing for you, the boys whom you have
sent to the trenches to give every
thing that you might enjoy your lib
erty, the boys who are asked to 90
through living death every day for
you, the boys who tonight are lying
in wet dugouts that you might en-
joy the comfort of home, the boys who
themselves tonight are slaves that the
world may be made safe for democra-
cy--we ask you to loan your money
to the government that they might be
clothed and fed to carry on the war
they are waging for you. No sacri-
flee that the civilian can make is COM
parable to the sacrifice that your boy
makes every day over there in the
trenches, and so it is, without any
apology for our cause that came to
you to beg you to stand behind your
government in this time of need.'

WE NEED VISION.

Hon. William Mather Lewis, one of
the speakers at patriotic meeting in
Wilmington Monday night, said some
things, as did the other speakers On
the occasion, that all of us need to
think more seriously about. lie is
quoted by The Star in part as follows:
I'VE need vision for the proper ap-
probation of the problem that con
fronts us. We must remember that
we are, by all the rules of war, fight
ing victorious nation. Germany is
not torn by internal strife and al
their enemies are held at bay from
without. The nation is held together
by an artificial morale This is a time
when we must Danish every thought of
sell. We have got to wake up TO the
terrible thing that is in Europe, and
II you can't wake up to what war
means in Europe, for Gods sake wake
up to what it means here.
People who say that it will be all
right IT the Germans do gain domin-
ion over the world, because they are
the most efficient people in the world

against brick wall. People VINO &C.

derlde them as nation that has stood
by and let France do the fighting, are
pro-German. They are liars and trai-
tors. 1t is England who stands and
who has stood between us and the
Hunnish hordes. These lies should be
traced to their source, and the source
put where it's source will lie no more
The thing that we have got to face

to do the thing over if we are negli-
gent now. The real test of this war

WHY THE BOYS ARE BEING SENT
TO FRANCE

If there are any Robesonian read
ers who wonder why it is necessary
to send our boys to France, and why
it is necessary for US who remain at
home to make sacrifices, let them read
the following, from the report in the
Wilmington Star of a speech in that
town the other night by Captain Les
lie Vickers, late of the Seaforth Ugh
landers:
"There are still some people in
your midst who do not see clea ,ly for
sending your army to France. They
argue that your part will be PLAYED
if you defeat the Germans shoald they
ever come here. There are some cheap
politicians who would have you rur-
chase your munitions in a five and
ten cent store. ask is there one of
them or orc Of you who could pay fer
the damage that would be done on
your soil in one half hours occupation
by the Germans? Suppose it was
your little child, now so safely asleep
in your home, that were to have its
hand cut off-a fate that befel the
little children Of the ravaged country
over the sea; suppose it was your lit
tie child that we saw bayonetted to
door and under it notice to re-
mind the inhabitants of the village
that more of their children would be
thus treated if the German troops
were interfered with in any way in
their career of blood; suppose your
wife or daughter had been amongst
those who lay outside a French vii

tions of the town for five days by the
German troops-could you have rails

ing sticks had these snatched from
them and were beaten with them +;
very many men with crutches had
these kicked from under their arms,
and when patients fell the crutches
were used to beat them with. Dur
ing this episode German officers and
N. C. O's were with their men and
they, far from discouraging their men,
encouraged them, even to the extent
of cursing us in German and English
in taking part in these cowardly as
saults."
One of the strangest things about
the report is that British prisoners
were treated with studied cruelty by
fiendish German Red Cross nurses
The German system turns int Ga devil

TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.

A report on treatment OF British
pr;soners of war during their trans
rort from France and Belgium to Ger
manv has been issued as White Pa
uer in London. 1t deals with the flrst
ronths of the war Great Britain mas
from the beginning of the war been
the object of the fiercest hate OF the
Germans because England in the Ger
man war plan was expected to pass
it ND as none of her funeral ana
LET Germany overrun Belgium and
France. This White Paper is quoted
extensively in a dispatch from Lon
don published in the Greensboro Daily
News. Gin almost every case,' says
the dispatch, "the treatment OF the
British prisoners was barbarous, but
the most striking fact brought out oy
the testimony given is that this treat
mont was deliberate and carried
mt nv order. For that cruelty the
German imperial government was re-
sponsible."
The report shows: Careful neglect
to give medical treatment to wound
ed prisoners during Journeys wnlcn
lasted 2 to days; overcrowdlng Oh Of
ficers and men-wounded and un-
wounded-usually in uncleaned horse
and cattle trucks; deliberate deprl-
walton of food and water; that Ger
man Red Cross nurses habitually de-
clined to supply the British prisoners
Zone officer was compelled by Ger-
man nurse to walk naked from his
stretcher to the station buffet (used
as hospitaD."
The behavior of civilians was worse
even than that of the military. Long
and frequent halts were made and al
ways hostile crowds surged around
the prisoners threatening them with
knives and revolvers and insulting
them with the grossest forms OF
abuse.
"Well-dressed women" quoting
from the report, "were constantly
prominent in these scenes, and often
at wayside stations rows Of schoo.
children would be found drawn ur
chanting choruses of abuse" An of
ficer related that as they left the
train at station well-dressed won

class compartment and spat in his
face. In one instance the prisoners,
some of them wounded, were simply
put into wagon and left for 72 hours
without any attention whatever.
Doubtless their humane captors were
not a little surprised and disappointed
to find them alive at the end of that
time. A party of $50 to 400 British
wounded were gathered at Mons, and:
1.-THE moment we arrived at Mons
we all were taken into the station,
where two trainloads of German
troops (cavalry) had just arrived.
These troops were drawn up in two
lines; we were made to march through
the lines and were subjected to gros
insults and ill-trea tment. Curses were
hurled at US, the men spat on us and
kicked US, we were struck with sabres
and bavonets, and Germans were not

Saint Mary's beacon., 1918-07-04

The meeting held in Leonardtown on last
Friday night in the interest of the Southern
Maryland railroad, while not largely attended,
resulted in the subscription Of nearly $4,000
worth Of stock in the new company. Professor
George w. Joy acted as chairman, and intro
duced the speakers---Father Conroy, Of Bryan
town; Father James Maguire Of Leonardtown;
Mr.. John Mudd, Of Charles county; Judge b.
II. Camalier, of Leonardtown; M. Hampton
Magruder, Of Marlboro; and w. Bernard Duke
Of Baltimore
The necessary funds to complete the purch-
ase Of the road have now been raised and the
deal will be closed on July 6; but there is need
OF additional stock subscriptions to supply a
working capital. This will readily be forth
coming if the people Of St. Marys properly ap-
preciate not only what it means to them to save
the old road, but that the propects for its ulh-
mate extension to tidewater are brighter than at
any time in the past
The fact that the u. S. Government is inter-
ested in the road to the extent of $4,000 is in
itself guarantee that the road will be operated
and it can be taken as strong ly pointing to such
extension as will make 1t more valuable In the
prosecution Of the war.
With the road in the control Of Southern
Maryland people, and with no interests except
the welfare Of this section to serve, thezaais
every reason to hope that before many years il
will be highway connecting Washington with
the deep water Of ST. Mary's. Certainly this
hope will be realized if the people will give the
road the support that it deserves and make pos
sibIe the extension, for which every one is so
anxious.
