Germans Believe In Spurlos Versenkt Policy

are permitted to tell what troops
were engaged.
IL anyone wishes to know
whether his father, brother or son
was killed or wounded he must
inquire at the bureaus established
by the government.
Thus the cumulative effect of
the losses never comes home to
the German people. Naturally
each family knows about its own
men. but 1t has no information as
to what has happened to others,
except as such information may
come to II by chance.
THE WOMEN ARE NOT PER-
MITTED TO WEAR BLACK, SO
that not even In this way may the
people be reminded of their grief,
or be given key to the extent of
the Losses.
The German people have been
fooled about their food supply. In
the days when COW beets and straw
bread were the only fare for the
poorest classes, they were kept in
heart by government promises of
food supplies from conquered ter
ritory, east and west.
The German people have been
fooled into believing that Eng
lands food scarcity is greater than
Germany, and the suffering of
her people, therefore, more terri
BILE.
The government keeps the peo-
pie in the dark concerning con-
dltions in Austria and Hungary,
particularly facts concerning
strikes and peace movements.
Three newspapers were sus-
pended in Germany for daring to
print the fact that the general
strike in Vienna might develop
into a revolution.
Newspapers are not permitted to
print anything about famine
dropsy in Austria, hunger-typhoid
in Germany, or the tremendous in
crease in tuberculosis in both
countries.
The record of undernourishment
furnished by these three diseases
| however, can be found in medical
reports circulated solely among
doctors.
|. WILL THE GERMAN PEOPLE
| EVER WAKE UP?
YES. The awakening will
come about the time our
American boys begin their
letters home with "SOME-
! WHERE in GERMANY" in
! stead Of Somewhere In
France"

TIE CATHEDRAL OF ST. JOHN. THE


Away up on Morningside Heights
where several famous New York City
bospitals are located-there is in pro-
cess of erection. the very finest Protest
ant Episcopal church in the United
States. 1t is called the Cathedral OF st.
John the Divine To get good idea
of it one must certainly see it, 1t is
built of the finest of splendid materials
and unless an earthquake should level it
or some ferocious nation should bomD
if. this church will be here to the end.
II has numerous chapels and many me-
mortal windows already. The pulpit cost
$25. 600 and was donated by Mrs Rus
sell Sage. 1t is a marvel of delicate
tracery in purest white marble. This IS
the largest single donation received up
to date, for the use and decoration OF
the spacious building. Mrs. Sage is Il
Presbyterian by training and faith but
she is unselfsh and always doing good
with her millions, and it was her pleas
ure to donate this magnificent pulpit
for the church of her friends who were
contributing untold thousands to a house
of Worship There is not a pillar in the
center of this great structure the
groined roof is a marvel of scientific
skill and genius. and from ones seat in
the main chapel can be seen the exquis-
tie ceiling where the light enters from
the Sky above.
The workmen were busy on an extern
sion that will increase the length of the
cathedral nearly half.
There was an artist sitting at her ca
sci painting the magnificent marble
pulpit while we were in the building.
To my provincial gaze it was all so
fine. superfine. that ! find | have not
words TO describe it, All tourists should
make a point of going to see this IA
NOUS building. / suppose it is the lat
est thought in Americas church build
ing.
Nothing has been spared to make it
perfect in style and architecture and
while the war will delay it's completion,
the congregation which viii use it (and
do now use the various chapels for wor-
ship. will continue to pour in the nee
essary funds for it's final completion.

BY BRAND WHITLOCK

through the rows of the fallen. strik-
ing with the butts of their rifles or
with their bayonets those who still
breathed.
Some day, no doubt, the evidence
will all be marshalled and the whole
truth told. There is no available tes-
| timony from German sources; for in
the White Book, issued to explain
and justify all that was done in Bel
GUM, there is no reference to Tam
ines, no mention Of it.
But when the firing had ceased
that night there were more than
four hundred dead; their bodies
lying there, women, too, and children.
And the graves are there nearby, in
| the cemetery, and the ages given as
from Is to S4.
The bodies lay there stark on the
green all night, sentinels guarding
them. The next day they were buried
in one trench.
AT the beginning of last week
our narrator came on the 7th of
September-"the inhabitants were
able to exhume the bodies and bury
decently each one. Several days were
spent in this dismal undertaking. One
of my brothers and my brother-in-
law came on Wednesday, September
,, to identify the body of my poor
brother, and begged in vain for per-
mission to have it removed to the
family vault. My brothers were able
to satisfy themselveS-and this de-
tail is not without mportance-that
sum of three thousand francs,
which my brother had pocketed be-
fore leaving his house, so that 1t
would not be stolen when. the place

My sister. who resides in the same
house as my brother, was informed
of this fact. Highway robbers de-

the Germans take both your money
and your life!"
