"Adoration OF the Mag1," ana one OF
the other prisoners told us it had been
saved and transported to Germany. If
that is true, and they do not destroy
it meanwhile, we will get it back, don't
worry!
My wound was just a clean gunshot
wound and not very serious, so, al
though it was not completely healed,
they let me go after three weeks. But
before I went, I saw something that
no man Of us will ever forget. Some
of them took VOWS just like the men
Of the legion have told about.
One of the patients was German
doctor, who had been picked up in No
Mans Land, very seriously wounded.
He was given the same treatment as
any of us, that is, the very best, but
finally, the doctors gave him up. They
thought he would die slowly, and that
it might take several weeks.
But there was nurse there, who
took special interest in his case, and
she stayed up day and night for some
time and finally brought him through.
The case was very well known, and
everybody said she had performed
miracle. He got better slowly.
Then a few weeks later, when he
was out Of danger and was able to
walk, and 1t was only question Of
time before he would be released from
the hospital, this nurse was trans
ferred to another hoSDital Everybody
knew her and liked her, and when she
went around to say gocd-by, all the
men were sorry and gave her little
presents, and wanted her to write to
them. She was going to get nurse
she knew in the other hospital to turn
her letters into English, so that she
could write to me. I gave her ring
I had made from a piece of shell case,
but guess she had hundreds Of them
at that.
But this German doctor would not
say good-by to her. That would not
have made me sore, but it made this
French girl feel very bad, and she be-
gan to cry. One of the French officers
saw her and found out about the doc
tor, and the officer went up and spoke
to the German. Then the French Of
ficer left, and the German called to
the nurse and she went over to him
and stopped crying.
They talked for little WHILE and
then she put out her hands as if she
was going to leave. He put out his

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 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 I was around Dixmude, saw
many living men and women and chill
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

rs that had been secretly located in

avel in an automobile and keep
harp watch as we went, for Dixmude
as being contested hotly at that time
nd German patrols were in the neigh
brhood. No one knew exactly where
hey would break out next.
SO we started out from the third

Ut outposts stopped us. Bartel car

hone, that If French flag flew over

Which was not so cheerful.

hands, too, and took hold Of hers. And
then he twisted her wrists and broke
them. We heard the snap.
There were men in that ward who

they came to the hospital, and one of
them was supposed to be dying, but it
is an absolute fact that when we heard
her scream, there was not man left

need not tell you what we did to
the German. They did not need to
shoot him, after we got through with
him. They did shoot what was left of
him, to make sure, though.
Now, have heard people say that
it is not the Germans we are fighting,
but the kaiser and his system. Well,
it may be true that some of the Boche
soldiers would not ,do these things if
they did not have to: myself, am not
so sure.
But you take this doctor. Here he
was, an educated man, who had been
trained all his life to help people who
were in pain, and not to cause it. And
he was not where he would have to
obey the kaiser or any other German.
And this nurse had saved his life.
So I do not see that there is any
argument about it. He broke that
girls wrists because he wanted to;
that is all there is to it. Now, say
this German doctor was a dirty cur
and scoundrel. But I say that he is
fair sample Of most Of the Germans
I have met. And it is Germans Of this
kind that we are f1ghting--not merely
the kaiser.
1t is like going to college. I have
never been there, but I have heard
some people say it did not do a man
any good to go. But ] have never
heard man who went there say that.
Probably you have not been over there,
and maybe you think we are not fight
ing the German people, but only the
Eaiser and his flunkeys.
Well, nobody had better tell me that.
Because I have been there, and have
seen this. And know. ri

Of our troops. 1t was thought that the
Germans often mutilated a dead body
as an example to the living.
I The Germans had absolutely no re-
spect whatever for the Red Cross. For
| instance, they captured a 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 ever heard of, tried
to fight. They were finished off at
once, of course.
The former burgomaster had been
shot and finished off 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 man came out of his
house, trying to carry his father, a
man of eighty, to the square, where
they were ordered to 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 a doctor there In Dix
nude, who certainly deserves mill
tary cross if any man ever did. He
was called from his house by the Ger
mans at 5 80 one morning. He left his
wife, who had had baby two days
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 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, too, 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
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
for 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 crucified 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 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 long time, I think. But they
need not worry: there are lot of us
| who will not forget, either.

EGG GAMBLER here.

Mr.. A. NJ. Barry, of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
was in Lancaster last Tuesday, dem
onstrating to the people Of the coun-
ty the importance of having their
eggs tested and just how it was done,
Under a recent ruling of the Federal
Food Administration, all eggs pur-
chased by dealers throughout the
county, which includes merchants
also, must be candled by the purchas-
er and all inferior eggs destroyed or
returned to the producer. SO rigid
is this rule to be enforced, the gov
eminent has ordered that blanks be
supplied by the dealers and regis
ter of all eggs purchased must be re-
corded.

GERMAN SUBMARINES
Sink Eleven Ships OF New Jersey Coast

Germany's sea wolves-the sub
marines which have caused so much
devastation during the WARFARE
preying on commerce in the Atlantic
Ocean just off the shores of the Uni
ted States. They are known to
have sunk at least nine vessels, only
a short distance out of sight Of land
off the Southern New Jersey shore.
1t is feared that still other vessels
have been sent to the bottom by the
marauders, the movements of which
have been reported at various times
during the last fortnight by ships
coming into port from Southern
waters. Thus far eleven lives are
known to have been lost in the sink
ings. A majority of the vessels were
sunk with bombs after their crews
had been forced to take to the ships
boats.
Members Of the crew of the
schooner Edward H. Cole, one of the
victims of the German U-boat, told
of the sinking Of their vessel and Of
the fight which at least one large
merchant steamship gave the under
water craft before being sunk. The
U-boat was described as being $50
feet in length and carrying guns fore
and aft.
