With the British Armies in France,
June 7,-The German emperor and the
Freebooters about him continue to re-
gard formal treaties as "msre scraps
of paper" according to letter just
found on a prisoner.
Furthermore, there is every indication
that the archbishop of Cologne, was
used as tool when he wrote the pope
requesting that the allies be asked not
to bomb German cities on Corpus Chris
ii day.
A letter written by a Cologne resi-
dent to relative in the field sardonic-
ally admitted there would be no Corpus
Christi professions or White Sunday
parades in the streets or inside the
churches.
After describing a British air raid
on. Cologne few days before, the Col.
ogne resident wrote:

No professions will be allowed, however
and the Whitsunday procession is for

Upon receiving the arehbishop's re-

bard German cities on Corpus Christi
day. They kept their word. On the other
hand, the Germans shelled and tried to

replied they were spending the star
light nights in the open as the Huns
always took advantage of these nights
to bomb them. There was no soldier in
or near the hamlet.
From conversation with an officer
of the German air forces, who had been
taken prisoner, learned that the Ger.
mans are determined completely to lay
waste certain towns far behind the lines
Apparently they are carrying out a
scheme of frightfulness, the same as
they did in Belgium and France at the
beginning of the war.

in these village shelters by machine gun
fire. Babes, at their mothers breasts,
are killed in these trenches, just as
their fathers die on the front line.
These trenches dug near the homes,
far in the rear of the war zone and in
which women and children must hide to
escape German machine gun fire and
bombs, are one of the most gripping
sights of the war.

Great Wheat Crop Is
Regarded As Certain

Washington, June THE American
granary, heavily drained for allied food
needs, will be amply refilled.
Estimates of the agricultural depart.
ment today showed prospects for total
wheat production of 931 100000 bushels
substantially greater than the aver
age production since 1911 and nearly 30
per cent larger than last years crop.
Reports on other grain crops, now vi
tai as wheat substitutes, also showed
satisfactory gains, with the exception
of oats, which apparently will fall
slightly below the 1917 yield.

years ago that Jack Hendricks, in

back in a game against the Giants
yesterday in which he again appeared
in uniform at the Pclo Grounds, but
as manager of the cardinals, and not
as an outfielder.
Jack s comeback was considerably
auspicious. He led the Cardinals to
their first victory of the year over the
fCarsOme Giants and by so doing snak-
ed them out of frs. place, the first
time they have descended since the
season opened.
Hendricks however, took occasion to
deny the oft-mentioned story that has
to do with himself and John McGraw.
