related a number Of these which he
saw himself. He said that in some
parts of France and Belgium he has
seen many, many little children with
the chords in their wrists severed so
that they will never again be able to
use their hands and are thus forever
unable to bear arms against Germany.
He also declared that some other
children have had the chords in the
back Of their legs cut by the Ger
mans which prevents their ever walk
ing again. A wounded Allied man
on the battlefield in the face of a
German advance has absolutely no
chance of life, the speaker said, and
then he told Of some other terrible
atrocities.
In one town he was in he said an
aged woman, 80 years old. had been
found dead and on being casually
questioned some of the German SOL
diers admitted that she had been
murdered, saying something to the
effect that the old woman screamed
SO one of the boys kicked her face in.
The atrocities told of the way the
Germans abuse the women are also
true, DR.. Dabo said. He declared it
to be a fact which he had witnessed
that some Of the Germans have bitten
pieces Of flesh from the breasts of
ravaged women and have carried
these bits of flesh in their pockets
as souvenirs. He then told Of two
Germans, one of whom SAID he had
six, to which the other replied that
he had eight. But probably the most
terrible atrocity told of by DR.. Dabo,
he said took place in g small town
which the Germans had captured.
He said they took an 1S-year- girl
into the public square where she was
mistreated by II Germans. She was
then stripped OF her clothing, her
body hung up by the ankles and
soaked in gasoline and set on fire.
while the poor girl was thus being
tortured to death the Germans did a
war dance about her, singing some
German song. This, the speaker said,
took place under the very eyes of the
poor girls grandm other. All such
atrocities take place in the daytime,
the speaker said, and in full view of

PAPER MAKES CHARGES
Providence Journal Says U. S.
AirpIane Program Is Failure.
Submits Mass of Testimony at Wash
ington Conference to Prove
Its Assertions.

Providence, R. l., March 81. J. The
Providence Journal says: THE air
craft program of America for the
year 1918 is a complete failure SO
far as army fighting planes are con-
cerned.
This fact with a mass Of testi-
mony in proof of it was laid before
officials of the War department by
representatives of the Providence
Journal on March 8 in Washington
during a conference which lasted sew
eral hours and which was presided
over by acting Secretary of War
Benedict Crowell.
THE actual conditions presented to
the War department at the confer
ence were briefly as follows: Up to
March s, the day of the conference,
only one fighting machine had been
shipped from this country to France
and was still on the ocean.
After spending more than $780,.
100000, the aircraft production board
has produced less than $500 school
and training planes and, at the out
side, seven battle planes
