'5UST BABES, BUT

HUNS BRUTALITY

The reading public, during the
past week, has been so we'll informed
7 about the condition of the children
OF the war zone that il requires lit
tie more to impress upon the peo-
pie the necessity for coming to their
rescue by taking a membership in
the local branch OF the FatherlesS
Children OF France organization.
The Literary Digest prints the fol-
lowing:
1T is dreadful thing to speculate
upon the tate OF the little children OF
those sections OF th<~ar-zone that
for four years have endured the
brunt of the titanic conflict. 1t
Makes no unusually active imagina-
hion to realize the boundlesS extent
'of their suffering, to picture them
being driven from their homes or
forced TO witness the murder OF
their parents, ruthlessly slain before
thei very eyes. No rare gilt is need
ed to see them fleeing by hundreds,
no, by thousands, they know not
whittier. neglected, tortured, starved.
The vision OF this wonderful legion
sweeps on endleSSly, and as it pass

of sobs and means. broken by

at the time OF the tragedy and that
this was a progressive and incurable
mental disease. the state demanded
that the trial be halted until COM

ian declared that he had never told
Miss Lusk that he would get a di-

unpleasant or that he had suggested
when his wife was sick that it would
be a good solution to the problem
"if she was called to angel land"
The case is expected to go to the
