victim, were committed by some of
the Germans troops.
(b) The Treatment of Women and
Children.
The evidence shows that the Ger
man authorities, when carrying out
policy of systematic arson and
plumber in selected districts, usually
drew some distinction between the
adult male population on the one
hand and the women and children
on the other. 1t was frequent
practice to set apart the adult males
of the condemned district with a
Wow to the execution of suitable
number-preferabl of the younger
and more vigorous-and to reserve
the women and children for milder
treatment. The depooitions, how
ever, present may instances of cal
culated cruelty, often going the
length of murder, toward the women
and children of the condemned area.
We have already referred to the case
of Aerschot, where the women and
children were herded in a church
which had recently been used as a
stable, detained for forty-cight hours
with no food other than oarse
bread, and denied the common de-
cencies of life. At Dinant sixty wo-
men and children were confined in
the cellar of convent from Sunday
morning till the following Friday
(Aug. 28), sleeping on the ground,
for there wore no beds, with nothing
to drink during the whole period,
and given no food until the Wednes-
day, when somebody threw into the
cellar two sticks of mGccroni and a
carrot for each prisoner" In other
cases the women and children were
marched for long distances along
roads (e. g., march of women from
Louvain to Tirlemont, Aug. 28), the
laggards pricked on by the attend
ant Uhlans. A lady complains of
having been brutally kicked by pri-
Yates. Others were struck with the
butt end of rifles. At Louvain, at
Liegc, at Aerschot, at Malines, at
Montigny, at Andenne, and else
! where, there is evidence that the
troops were not restrained from
drunkenness, and drunken soldiers
cannot be trusted to observe the
rules or decencies of war, least of all
when they are called upon to exc
cute a preordained plan of arson and
pillage. From the very first women
were not safe. At Liegc women and
children were chased about the
streets by soldiers. A witness gives
a story, very circumstantial in its
details, of how women were publicly
raped in the market place of the
city, five young German officers as
sisting. At Aerschot men and women
were deliberately shot when coming
out of burning houses. At Liege,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when il is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

UNION CITY HIGH DEFEATS
FULTON HIGH SEVEN TO SIX

Perhaps what proved to be one of
the best and most exciting games
played in Fulton by amateur teams
in, many a season, was the game be-
tween Union City High School and
the Fulton High School yesterday
afternoon. After pitching great
ball for five innings both pitchers
seemed to weaken, Union City scor-
ing four runs in the sixth, and Full
ton six runs in the seventh, Union
City tieing the score in the eighth.
After battling for two more in
nings Union City at last succeeded
in pushing across the winning run
in the eleventh. After a hard at
tempt the Fulton pitcher was thrown
out at the plate in the last of the
eleventh.
Both teams played a nice game,
especially the Fulton team, as only
four hits were made off Fulton on
account of the excellent work of the
team, while ten hits were made off
Union City. All should come out and
encourage the boys as they have a
nice team. They play Hickman here
Friday week and Union City again

Miss Luther's Injuries.

The many friends of Miss Eva
Luther in Union City and Obion
County were sorry to learn of the
distressing accident, which took
place last Monday night, and in
which she sustained some very seri-
GUS injuries.
Miss Luther and Mr.. Dougherty,
county demonstrators, had been to
Pierce to hold community meeting
with the good people of that place.
They had finished the work there
and started home in the car, two
seated Ford. About two miles from
Pierce the road turned abruptly and
crossed a concrete bridge. The OPP
posite side of the bridge was flanked
by some boards and under the edge
of these boards the rain had washed
a hole. The car made the turn and
just as they were starting to cross
Mr.. Dougherty discovered the dan
ger, but too late to avoid it. So he
brought the car to a stop as quickly
as possible, and this sudden stop
caused Miss Luther to lunge forward
with such force that her head was
caught in the wind shield, breaking
the glass out. Her face was pressed
against the lower shield and her
nose was split open in addition to
some minor local injuries.
AS soon as the jar was over and
she was settled in the scat again Mr.
Dougherty saw her holding her nose
and found that she was badly hurt,
tho she was holding up with re-
markable bravery. They had to get
out and prize the car out,
When they started again the car
was webbing terribly and Mr.
Dougherty found that the radius rod
had been wrenched. So he fixed
that as we'll as possible under the
circumstances, and they made il
home before midnight.
Doctors Watson and Qualls were
called and administered a general
anesthetic. The wound was sc
troublesome it took something like
two hours to make the stitches and
proper dressing. But it was care
fully done to avoid infection and
yesterday the bandage was removed
and the patient was doing finely.
The many friends trust that Miss
Luther will soon be out and fully
restored to her former self.
Miss Luther is in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. L. G. Arnold.

Indeed, so much is avowed. 81 ask

spared" says lady in Louvain, who
deposes to having suffered much bru-
tai treatment during the sack. He
said: 1--WE will not hurt you any
more. Stay in Louvain. All is fin

and the reign of terror was over.
Apart from the crimes committed
in special areas and belonging to a
scheme of systematic rcprisals for
the alleged shooting by civilians,
there is evidence of offenses commit
ted against women and children by
individual soldiers, or by small
groups of soldiers, both In the adj
vance thru Belgium and France as,
in the retreat from the Marine. In
deed, the discipline appears to have
been loose during the retreat, and
there is evidence as to the burning
of villages and the murder and vio-
lation of their female inhabitants
during this episode of the war.
In this tale of horrors hideous
forms of mutilations occur with
some frequency in the dispositions,
two of which may be connected in
some instances with a perverted
form of sexual instinct.
A third form of mutilation, the
cutting of one or both hands, is fire.
quently said to have taken place. In
some cases where this form of mutt
lation is alleged to have occurred it
maye be the consequence of a cav
airy charge up village street, hack
| ing and slashing at everything in
the way; in others the victim may
possibly have held a weapon; in 9TH
ers the motive may have been the
theft of rings.
We find many well-established
cases of the slaughter Gotten accom-
panied by mutilation) of whole
families, including not infrequently
that of quite small children. In two
cases it seems to be clear that prepa-
rations were made to burn O family
alive. These crimes were committed
over period of many weeks and
simultaneously in many places, and
the authorities must have known, or
ought to have known, that cruelties
of this character were being perpe-
trated; nor can any one doubt that
they could have been stopped by
swift and decisive action on the part
of the heads of the German Army.
The use of women and even chill
dren as screen for the protection of
the German troops is referred to in a
later part of this report. From the
number of troops concerned, it must
have been commanded or acquiesced
IN by oIncerS, and IN some cases the
presence and connivance of officers
is proved.
The cases of violation, sometimes
under threat of death, are numerous
and clearly proved. We referred here
to comparatively few out of the many
that have been placed in the APP
pendix, because the circumstances
are in most instances much the same.
They were often accompanied with
cruelty, and the slaughter of wo-
men after violation is more than once
| credibly attested.
1t is quite possible that in some.
