Of them were knocked In the head with
gun butts before they stopped.
Then the Germans fred at the double
rank of men. After three volleys, there
were eighty-four dead and twenty
wounded. Most Of the wounded they
then killed with axes. but somehow,
three or four escaped by hiding under
the bodies OF others and playing dead,
though the officers walked up and
down firing their revolvers into the
piles Of bodies.
The next day the Germans went
through the wine cellars. and shot all
the Inhabitants they found hiding
there. A lot Of people. who had taken
refuge in a factory over night, decided
to come out with a white flag. They
were allowed TO think that the white
flag would be respected. but no sooner
were they all out than they were seized
and the women publicly violated In the
square, after which the men were shot.
A paralytic was shot as he sat In his
armchair. and a boy OF fourteen was
taken by the legs and pulled apart.
At one place, q man was tied by the
arms to the ceiling of his room and set
afre. His trunk was completely car
bombed. but his head and arms were
unburned. At the same place. the
body Of a ffteen-year-old boy was
found. pierced by more than twenty
bayonet thrusts. Other dead were
found with their hands still in the air.
leaning up against walls.
At another place the Germans
shelled the town for a day. and then
entered and sacked Il. The women
and children were turned loose, with
out being allowed to take anything
with them. and forced to leave the
town. Nearly five hundred men were
deported TO Germany. Three, who
were almost exhausted by hunger. tried
to escape. They were bayoneted and
dubbed to death. Twelve men, who
had taken refuge In q farm. were tied
together and shot in a mass. Another
group Of six were tied together and
shot, after the Germans had put out
their eyes and tortured them with
bayonets. Three others were brought
before their wives and children and
sabered.

SATURDAY

Heralded as the greatest war pic
ture since THE Birth of a Nation, .
The Unbeliever," which will be the
special big attraction at the Colonial
tomorrow and Saturday, has for its
setr players, the two popular screen
stars, beautiful Marguerite Courto.
and Raymond Mckee Miss Courtot
achieves distinctive triumph
through her Interpretation of the
brave little Belgian martyr, a part
that represents the noble spirit of
Belgium surviving the devastation
wrought in the wake of the Hun.
Raymond Mckee carries the pep
punch of the u. S. Army into France
and Belgium. where ruthless realism
carves his soul to its complete devel-
opment. The subtle blending of a
buyant personality and an impressive
sincerity marks Mr. McKee's marine
with unique success. The plot OF the
story contains every element of inter
est, the appeal to national pride and
patriotism, the development of a mans
soul, friendship that regards self
sacrifice as a privilege and a great
and chivalrous love. The Marine
Corps which takes a prominent part in
this intensely interesting production,

1t was concluded that this class of
persons could be distinguished from
those harmlessly color-blind by the
use of the Edridge-Green color Ian
tern, which was found preferably TO
colored yarns. The theories on which
the color lantern is based are given
in detail in the publication.
Another feature of the investigation
was the study of the prevalence of
color blindness Excluding those able
to distinguish five colors in the spec
trum, it was found that color blind
ness occurs in about Sc per cent of
men and % per cent of women. Col
or blindness of a degree dangerous in
occupations requiring the recognition
of colored signal lights was found to
occur in about 81 of men and OF per
cent of women. Among retroactive con-
ditions of the eye, color blindness oc-
ours least frequently in eyes appar-
emily without demonstrable retroactive
error; it occurs most frequently in
eyes showing mixed astigmatism.

When Boards Were Taxed.

In the reign of Elizabeth every
beard of fortnight's growth was sub
ject to a tax. Peter the Great, iu
1905, imposed tax upon the boards
of the Russian mobiles of 100 rubles,
while the common peoples beard ta1
amounted TO one kopec. This tax
caused much dissatisfaction, but in
spite of this the impost was extended
to st. Petersburg in 1714. The tax
on boards was confirmed by Catherine
I in 1926 by Peter II in 1928, by En-
press Anne in 1871, and in 1743 by
the Empress Elizabeth. 1t was re-
pealed by Catherine III in 1852. In
France a beard tax was imposed upon
the clergy The celebrated Duprat,
lord high chancellor of France, was
the adviser of the measure, and bull
was published by the pope enjoining
the clergy to shave their chins. Then
a tax was levied by the king upon all
WHO wished to be exempted from the
harsh decree. The bishop and others

COLOR-BLINDNESS
AMONG u. S. SEAMEN
Public Health Service Gives Valuable
Data. Tests Inaccurate.
Divided Into Classes.

The Importance of differentiating be-
tween those who are dangerously
color-blind-that is, unable at all
times to distinguish between red and
greenland those who are only slightly
color-blind, is brought out in a re-
cent study conducted by the U. S.
Public Health Service and reported in
Public Health Bulletin No. 80.
The following classes are regarded
as dangerously color-blind and there
fore to be excluded from positions in
which they would be required to read
colored signal lights: % those who
are able to see but three or less col
ors in the spectrum (the normal per-
son sees six or seven); (2) those who
see more than three colors in the
spectrum, but who have the red end
so shortened as to prevent the recogni-
ton of red light at a distance of two
