PRO-GERMANS GET
 ANCIENT SENTENCE

Bruges, Dec. 18.---(Correspondence of The Associated Press.) .)---An an- cient form of punishment in favor in the Middle Ages has been adopted in Belgium for Belgian women who were too friendly toward the German in- vaders or who listened to their love making. They have been shorn of their hair. In Bruges several won1- en have suffered this form of retribu- tion and either must remain indoors or patronize the wig makers. It is known that this method has been applied in at least one other place. The scenes attending the application of this punishment have been rather boisterous.
 Corporal punishment is visited upon the pro-German among the Belgium men but few of these awaited the wrath of the Belgian avengers. They decamped before. the Belgian troops reoccupied the cities and towns which had been under German domination.
 Such cases as these have been re- markedly few. The wonder is that
 there have not been more. The pro- portion of renegades is SD small as to reflect greater glory on poor little Belgium.
 As a whole the civil population of BelgiIm has remained wonderfully 1 loyal. By their system of communal administration, they were enabled to govern themselves while the German was deluding himself that he was rul- ing. It enabled them to endure physi- 1 cal privations, suffer death and re- sist the insidious propaganda of the German governors, Won Bissing, and his successor, Won Falkenhausen, who attempted to separate the WaIloons
 from the Flemish and to poison the
 wells of Belgiums patriotism.

Recently there has been consider able discussion in this country as to just what kind of an automobile is used by General John J. Pershing in
 making his tour of inspections on the battle fields of France. For some time it has been known that 'Black JacA'' rides in a huge limousine, cap able of attaining @ speed of 80 miles an hour, over the undiscovered roads of France. The car which has seen service with the American command ,er-in-chief, since shortly after his ar rival abroad was made in America, and what is more to the point, was made right hero in Bridgeport. It is 6. Locomobile, made especially for the general staff of the American army, and has stood the test of many gruel- ling rides. Much has been heard of the wonderful speed with which Per- shing has jumped from one battle to another, and 1t should bring pride to the hearts of Bridgeporters to learn that the car used by the general is a product of this city.

crop, there will be around 3J7 ,OOo,-
900 bushels for export. Around 49,
100000 bushels were exported from
July Isl to December ist
The original food administration
program for this year called for
i0,5OO,OOO tons Of breadstuns for ex-
port which II all wheat would be
about 3~5OOOO,OOO bushels. II is al
ready apparent that this estimate
must be greatly increased. As IN
vcslipalion Of food conditions In
Europe progresses, the needs are
found to be- much greater than ex-
pccted, and America will be- called
upon 10 ship more than the original
estimate Of 02,O00.OOO tons. But this
will require careful conservation OF
food In America. The surplus 9th
erwise will not reach the require

GERMAN fleet
THREATENS BLOW
AT TURK CITY
Enemy is Relying on Black
Sea Fleet to Keep Turkey in
Line.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-With the
Berlin Constantinople railroad cut by
the allied occupation of Nish, Germa-
ny is relying upon its Black Sea fleet
to hold Turkey in line. Information
has been received at the state depart
ment that the Turkish government
has been told by Berlin that the fleet
will open fire on the Ottoman capltai
at the first sign of detection.
This German feet consists largely
of German warships captured from
the Russians, but is believed here to
be strong enough to control, for the
present, at least, the Turkish govern.
ment. 1t was pointed out today that
with the British forces rapidly clearing
Palestine and Mesopotamia OF Turkish
control, Turkey must hold to Constant
inople as its only hope Of maintaining
any power as a government.
News from Copenhagen that lzzet
Pasha has been appointed premier and
minister of war in the ne wTurkish
cabinet was interpreted as meaning
that Berlin still is not without friend
at court. Because of his long service
as chief of the Turkish army staff
and his association with German Off
GERS, Izzet is looked upon as friendly
to Germany.
The accuracy of reports that the
Union and Progress Club, the mos
powerful organization in Turkey, had
been closed at the demand of the
Turkish army staff, was doubted by
officials here, who said such action
would be tantamount to military
revolution. If the report is true, they
declared, anything might happen in
Constantinople.

Wilhelm Indulges in
 More Commitments

THE Kaiser continues to utter bom- J bastic platitudes. His latest outburst was inspired by the imperial contribution of 5000 marks to a fund for disabled German soldiers. Quoth Wilhelm:
 "With pride and delight I watch the deeds of bravery of my courageous troops which will secure respect for the German name for all time"
 Respect" indeed! The atrocities of "my courageous troops" will be re- membered centuries hence. Those deeds" have blackened the name of Germany past any hope that it will ever be white again-certainly not for long years and only through a process of regeneration of which the Kaiser and his war lords have no con- ception.
 Germany, by her policy of frightful- ness on land and sea, has inspired bathing, but not fear. In the hope that she would be able to terrorize whole nations and secure the kind of Prospect" the Prussian values highly fear of consequences which inspires instant obedience Germany has con- ducted this war. It has proved fail ure at every turn. The Kaiser's high flown speeches merely create amuse- ment outside of the fatherland.

COLONEL wAT,TERsoN,s PRIZE

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Everyone who is a true patriot and believes the time has come to call lighted with the honor that has come to Col. Henry Watterson in the shape of the 5000 Pulitzer prize for one of hIs o-hell-with- th-the-EIohenzollern" editoriaI articles. This is a reward for plain speaking and direct writing that goes to the right man for the right kind of rhetoric and logic. As he himself has we'll put it in the prize editorial "Sureiy the time has arrived-many of us think it was long overdue-for calling the braves to the colors Nations must cen take stock on occasion and manhood come to showdown" And there was no question about the Americanism ct Henry watterson when he came to nts showdown. Against all quibbling and hair-splitting over the aims of the al- lies, he went right to the meat of the whole thing-the direct responsibility of Germany for the war and the need of the United States to take it's part in fac ing the consequences of a diabolic policy of world conquest which neither askei nor gave quarter. To this situation Col onel Watterson held there is but one re- ply: No peace with the Kaiser. NO barley with autocracy, absolutism ana the divine right of kings. To hell with the Hapsburg and the Hohenzollern!
 If this seemed a little rough sometime ago, the whole country rises to it now. In this, as is his right. the famous oid war horse of southern journalism had the foresight of the poet and the voice of a prophet. His slogan is now no mere matter of pure personal invective, but the CIV of the nation and of civilization.
