warfare to the combatants. The
ideal seemed to have become so thor
oughly established as part of in
ternational law that the powers at
The Hague thought it sufficient mere
ly to state the general principles in
Article XLVI of the regulations:
Family honors and rights, the lives
Of persons and private property, as
we'll as religious convictions and
practice, must be respected. Pri-
vate property can not be contiscated.
Germany, in common with the other
powers, solemnly pledged her faith
to keep this article, but her military
leaders had no intention of doing so.
They had been trained in the ideas
voiced by Gen. Won Hartman 40
years ago: "Terroism is seen to be
a relatively gentle procedure, useful
to keep the masses of the people in
state of obedience" This had been
Bismarck's policy, too. According
to Moritz Busch, Bismarck's bio
grapher, Bismarck, exasperated by
the French resistance, which was still
continuing in January, 1871, said:
eff in the territory which we oc-
cupy, we can not supply everything
for our troops, from time to time we
shall send a flying column into the
localities which are recalcitrant. We
shall shoot, hang, and burn. After
that has happened a few times, the
inhabitants will finally come to their
senses
The frightfulness taught by the
German leaders had held full sway
in Belgium. This is best seen in the
entries in the diaries of the individu-
al German soldiers.

that no one could get out. Then the

The latter material.
Serge, Of course, is always in good
taste. 1t has been found necessary in
many boarding schools to limit the
number Of dresses, lingerie and to
state the sort of material to be used,
as this seems to create better school
spirit, doing away with all discrepan-
clos Of purse and position. 1t Is not a
bad idea. for in this way the young

Satin Slippers for Dress.
Black satin slippers are best for dress

though bronze with tiny beaded tips
are also much liked. For evening wear
the silver cloth slipper with its bril-

there is a silver fabric which does not
tarnish and which can be frequently
washed without injury this slipper is
by all odds the most economical.
The ideal school hat is plain and
practically untrimmed except for a
tuft of feathers on a bit Of ribbon.
This. of course, applies to the every
day hat. though IL is a mistake not to
apply the same rule of simplicity to
all hats until our schoolgirl has

BOYS FALSIFY
AGES TO ENLIST
Many Under Eighteen Years
Are Returned Home From
Military Camps

The Harrisburg recruiting party
secured a total of twenty-five enlist
ments yesterday. Ever since the re-
cruiting officers have been limited to
recruiting men, either over or under
the draft age limits. they have con-
centrated their efforts on the enlist
ment of men for the Aviation Section,
mostly among youths under 81 years
old. There has been an average OF
more than twenty men enlisted every
day this month.
Recruiting officers to-day said that
the number of youths under IS years
old that are turned back from the
training camps. has been unusually
large the past month, owing to the
number of boys of II who give their
ages as is when enlisting. Youths
may not enlist unless they have reach
ed the age of 1S, and consequently,
numbers have been sent back to the
local office after their misrepresenta-
camps.
Enlistments in the infantry are on
the increase, the recruiting officers
say. Men are showing an urgent de-
sire TO get into active service. and
nearly All of them choose the branch
OF service which recruiting officers
assure them will be in action first.
Lieutenant Lesher. in charge of the
local Recruiting Office, at 325 Mark ct
street, said that the sinking of the
Z. 3 transport Tuscania will aid to
SPUR enlistments. Numbers of boys
ana men who enlisted yesterday refer
to their desire to avenge the latest
outrage of the Hun as their greatest
reason for enlisting
