GERMAN PROPAGANDA
BOASTS OF MISDEEDS

THE English treat their prisoners
with notable kindness, while the re-
gime imposed on the English prisoners
by Germans is one of extreme rigor--
several thousand English prisoners have
died in consequence of disease, scanty
food and other accidents in German
concentration camps"
With these words Germany admits
cruel treatment Of English prisoners,
in a document now being circulated in
Spain in order to discourage the Spanish
people from siding with the Allies. In
the same document just made public
10y the department Of state at Wash
ington, d, c., Germany boasts of the
amount of booty that has been taken
from the civilian population of the CON
quered territory and Of the number of
churches that have been destroyed by
her soldiers
"Cathedrals destroyed, g. rendered
unserviceable, s; churches destroyed, 81;
rendered unseryiceabIe, 81, total. e.
Thus do the German propagandists
frankly summarize the ruthless destruc-
ton Of the beautiful churches and
cathedrals Of Belgium and France, by
which, it is claimed, it was necessary
to punish the Belgian and French
Catholics.
Due to the treachery Of Cardinal
MERCER and other priests, the docu-
ment continues, who did their utmost
to stir the priests against the good
hearted German soldiers, they were

REMARKABLE WILL.

by lawyers and laymen alike, as the

that float high over the giant trees.
And / leave the children the long long
days to be merry in, in q thousand
ways. and the night and the moon and

GREATEST WAR PROFITEER.

The kaiser had six sons and a large
income when he started this war The
war is in it's fourth year and he still
has all his sons and his large income.
How he can look in the face the
thousands of Germans, crippled by this
war, we don't know, but he does it..
Everybody about him has given some
thing or someone to the war The
kaiser has given nothing. He still has
everything he started with and more.
He let's the other fellows sons do the
dying. lie let's the other fellow DO the
paying. DO your share and win the
war. You can't keep your money and

No Revolt.

To the Editor
Some Of your readers 'of last week
entirely misunderstood the call ITO the
Women of Mineral Point" printed in
your last issue. They thought it a split.
or revolt in the ranks of the Red Cross
in Mineral Point. That is grave error
that should be rectifed.
There are no more loyal members OF
the Red Cross than many of these
women, who are determined that our
Mineral Point boys going ITO the
Colors" shall be outfitted as well by
Mineral Point women as were the many
who have already gone. Our Red Cross
has been obliged to lay down this work,
and the women, including Red Cross
members, are taking it up. There is
absolutely no conflict. Some people
also thought that the meeting was con-
nected with that of the Trinity Guild,
which is also an entire mistake.
About twenty-five women attended
the meeting of last week, but arrange
ments were postponed until Monday,
June 3rd, at O'Clock at the Parish
House, when it is hoped more will be
present AS the boys include those
from outlying farms, the women from
outlying farms are expected to join in
this work.
Fifteen comfort kits, at value oil
81 Is each, were given the boys going
to camp last Friday. Wooden garments
will be sent in September. -

AMERICAN democracy, fathered by

too much of an American to endorse

rH~he Holy Order of Woman
4 kind Condemned

The eminent Senator from Missouri, | am
sure, spoke without the reflection that
usually characteriZcs his utterances and
laid condemnation on a holy order of wom-
ankind which, in after days, he will de-
plore out of the heart, which we all know
IS IN him, of love and friendship.
What offence have these women com
mitted when they come to- this body and
with their aid and voice seek to ascertain
from their public servant his stand upon
that measure IN which they say their liber-
ties are involved? What offence to moral
ity do they commit by ascertaining tho
status before they risk that which they
claim is their all in citizenship of the life
which they live? In all the past
tor which we are renowned there was still
the same situation, the same order of
procedure.
For they were women, tell my dstin-
gulshed friend, who surrounded the Hobbies
of this Senate about Mr.. Webster, to sus-
tain him in the fight for the liberties of the
black, and they, the women themselves. now
strike for the liberties of the white and the
black, male and female; yet I am unable to
sec where the foundations are upon which
an eloquent and eminent Senator powerful
IN himself, as is this distinguished repre-
sentative from Missouri, can find to base a
discrimination between all the events and
history of those times of legislation and
that which prevails, upon the confession
of the Senator from Utah and of the Sena-
tor from Nevada, as to this particular meas
ure.
The PRESIDING OFFICER: Does the
Senator from Illinois yield to the Senator
from Missouri?
Mr. REED: If the Senator does not yield
| shall call him to order

Mr. LEWIS: [ then yield to the Senator.
II his object is now to correct ANYTHING he

great part of the chateau, and the vault
ed stone chapel, now used as an en-
trance hall, is beautiful example of
it's period Of architecture. The castle
contains many works of art and price
less furniture, including much formerly
belonging to Josephine, the wife of Ma
poleon, as we'll as Roman and Greek
Icons time. The Kaiser several times
visited Highcliff Castle, and on his
last visit especially requested the use
of this castle for his residence and stayed
there over two months. He was greatly
cnamoured of the place, and the story
runs that he said he hoped and expected
to make it one of his future residences.
At the time his confidng English friends
naturally supposed he meant simply
place to stay when attending the yacht
races but since the war his desire has
assumed a different aspect. 1t is said
that all German avators have had orders
since the war began carefully to avoid
any damage to this castle and it's
grounds.
The late Mrs. Sclfridge from the be-
ginning of the war largely devoted her
time and labor to charitable works. AS
soon as The United States entered the
war she built on this beautiful estate a
convalcscent hospital for American SOL
dicrs and maintained it under the charge
Of the Red Cross. TO date this is the
only home for American enlisted men in
England. The work is being carried on
by her husband as memorial to her.
In the beautiful County Of Surrey. the
Hon. Mrs. Spender Clay, daughter of
William Waldorf Aston, has converted
her mansion at Lingfeld, known as Ford
Manor, into a convalescent home for
American soldiers. This institution is
likewise under the charge of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, and strict military hospi-
tai regulations prevail.
