GRENADES MURDER
AUSTRALIANS WHO
CARRY HUN DEAD

WITH THE BRITISH-AMERIC
ARMIES.-German deviltry seemed
to know no bounds in the last days
Of the fighting on the British front
after the Hindenburg line had been
shattered. They attacked grenades
to the bodies of dead Huns left be-
hind in the German retreat, SO that
when the bodies were lifted the
grenades exploded, killing or wound
ing the bearers.
Near the town of LaCeteau a num-
ber of Australian stretcher bearers
were killed by these grenades in at
tempting to remove some German
dead from the field in front of an
American machine gun position.
Thereafter no Australian would put
hand on dead German. In some
cases the bodies were dragged to
their burial places by means of a
long rope which allowed the stretch
er bearers to keep out of range of
any exploding hand grenades.
The Americans, on the other hand.
hit upon the plan of making the
German prisoners bury their own
dead. IN one instance boche pris-
ON Eas suamarily shot because he
of his dead companions. An ex-
animation of the body later led to
the discovery that it was mined. The
German was aware of this fact and
refused to touch it.
In one small town evacuated by the
Germans, many of the beds were
found to be mined. An American
officer, tired and worn by long and
hard fighting, sought rest on lounge
in a room occupied by a German
officer. The lounge blew up and he
was instantly killed.
Nnnther officer picked up a pair
Of field glasses left by the Germans
and was adjusting the focus when
the glasses exploded in his hands and
blew away a part of his face.
The Huns had become adept in the
nefarious business of making intern
al machines, mines and time fuses,
and there was scarcely an area where
the electrical and engineering ex-
perts of the allies did not find some
new form OF their fiendish ingenuity.

The War Department has now

increase of nearly 100000 during the

however, that designation of troops
does not mean immediate discharge,
but severance from the service as
their turn is reached in demobiliza-
ton.
Among the new branches of the
army to be included in the demobili-
zatlon orders are 10000 Porto Rican
troops ordered discharged. Of the
total OF $4,000 men designated 352.-

ADVISES FARMERS TO HOLD
POULTRY FOR HIGHER PRICES
TO COUNTY AGENTS:

Owing to the enormous amount of
turkeys being marketed througho 1T
the country, it has had a tendancy to
force down the price of poultry. In
fact the present prices are far below
what we have termed the normal
price, or that is, the price that has
prevailed throughout the year. We
know the price will soon rise to nor
NAL, so hold your poultry until Janu-
ary or February when it viii bring a
decent price. am advised that the
embargo on livestock including breed
ing poultry from Dec. 10th to Jan.
1st will not be put into effect md
that shipments win be accepted as
heretofore.

PARIS, Dec. 14.-This is greater
night in Paris than armistice night.
The city is ablaze with illuminations;
the boulevards are thronged with
crowds, dancing and singing and
throwing confetti. The Place de la
Concorde has been turned into great
dancing pavilion, where American sol
diers are favorite partners. America
is the predominating word here to-

their entry into Paris this morning.
greeted by well nigh half the popu-
lation, not only the city, but of the
surrounding ditricts. They were at
tended by President Poincare, Pre-
mier Clemenceau and others among
the most eminent figures in France.
Flowers were dropped around their
carriage, airplanes winged overhead,
guns sounded. But observers were
impT essed with something more than
the magnitude and beauty of the re-
ception of some quality of warmth
that made it different from the visits
to Paris recently made by the
sovereigns of the allied nations.
The imagination and interest of
France has been stirred by the presi-

two invincible forces-the material
force which permitted the war to be
won, and also the force which will
sanctify peace"
Thirty-six thousand soldiers, the
flower of the French army, lined the
avenues from Dauphine gate to the
Murat mansion, which during their
stay in Paris will be the home of the
president and his wife. Alpine CASH
seurs and zouaves, fresh from the
battlefields of Champagne, and CO.
lonial troops, from whose unifroms
the mud of the Somme had only few
days ago been removed, occupied the
post of honor They gently but firm
ly kept order amongst the enormous
crowds, which ever pressed forward
in eagerness to have a closer look at
the guest of France.
In two speeches today President
Wilson reaffirmed that the making of
peace and the creation of league Of
nations must be accepted as one single
objective.
Responding to the welcome Of
President Poincare at the luncheon
given in his honor, President Wilson
declared that winning the war was
not alone enough, but that the people
of the United States had entered it
with the object of making the peace
a permanent peace for the world.
Responding to the greeting of the
Socialist delegation the president re-
iterated that the war had been peo-
ple's war and that the defeat of mili-
tary autocracy was not sufficient to
the fulfilling of its objects. He again
declared that the cooperation of the
nations for the security of the peace
to be made was wholly necessary.
