These great German industrial con-
Germs have been outposts of propa-
ganda and deviltry. They violated our
neutrality in time of peace and they
have waged war against u.s."
MIR. Bradley said that of the 10000
shares Of the capital stock of the
Botany mills, 10000 were in the hands
of alien enemies, that Stoehrs indi-
vidual interest was infinltesimal and
that he was acting for German inter-
ests.
He charged that a contract to balk
the Government in case of war was
entered into six weeks before the
United States became belllgerent.
Through this contract. on the paymen:
of $4,000, Stoehr & Sons, Inc, New

belonging to Stoehr G Sons, a partner

Stoehr sued as n stakeholder of Stoehr

also been seized by the Alien Property
Custodian.
Louis Marshall, counsel for Stoehr,
argued that the seized stock was
American owned and that under an
amendment to the trading with the
enemy law Mr. Palmer Is prohibited
from selling any but perishable prop
crty until authorized by further acts
Of Congress.
IF Mr.. Palmer has the right to cell

can sell all Of the billion dollars worth
Vt property he has seized. That would
be n crime"
Congress cannot authorize the con-
fiscation of the property Of n private

sontended. Judge Knox interrupted
him to ask question relating to prop

Observation-Disclosures of engineers
from General Gouraud's army In ex-
ploring the region from which the
Germans have been driven in this Sec
tor have discovered in many villages
evidence of the method by which the
destruction of dwellings, churches and
other public buildings was organized.
The region along the Retourne
abounds with indications of willful de-
vastation of villages that were
within range of artillery, but were
found RACED. In others where houses
were still erect they were mined for
slow destruction, while the purely
military installations, such as barracks
built by the Germans for their own
troops, were left intact.
Orders for the burning of Junville,
a large village in the Valley of the
Retourne, arrived on the day of evacu-
alton. The people pleaded with the Of
ficers 20 spare neir homes, but the
torch was put to every house. The
village was one vast brazier when the
French entered it. Mont st. Remy
shared the same fate.
At Melville, where a villager i'm
plored that his home might be spared,
an officer replied:
81 know 1t is al ignoble task, but
such. are our orders"
Chatelet, Alincourt, Bignicourt and
lle-Sur-Retourne were partly saved
because the French troops pressed the
Germans there so closely that the sap
pers left behind to do the work were
surprised. Some of these men fled be-
fore they could set off the mines which
had been prepared. Others were cap
tured.
1t has been necessary from French
sappers and miners to explore the cell
lar of every house remaining intact in
this region. Under most of them
mines have been found. Mouths of
wells were so mined that explosions
would fill them with rock and earth.

nothing to fear. Drive the poisonous
wastes and deadly uric acid accumu-
iations from your system. Take Gold
