HUNS ACT LIKE HOGS
German Soldiers Seem to be Entirely
Devoid of the Qualities of -
Gentlemen

London, July 29.-( British
less Service) ).-Evidence accum
that during their brief stay
Marine salient the Germans ha
indulging again in wholesale acts Of
vandalism. In message sent from
French army headquarters, Reuters
correspondent gives details of their
conduct while in possession of Chat
eau Thierry.
The Germans were in the town for
some time. and apparently thought
they would remain there indefinitely.
When they found they would have to
give it up they apparently determined
to take all the vengeance in their
power.
The injuries inflicted on the town
are such as could not be the result
of shelling, the correspondent points
out, as those houses which suffered
most were entirely uninjured by shell,
shrapnel or bullet.
"These houses" he says, "were
magnifcently furnished. the walls
hung with costly tapestries and ad-
mirable pictures. The furniture was
of exceptional elegance and impress
sive mirrors and charming statuettes
were numerous.
"Today there is nothing that has
not been destroyed. The tapestries
have been hacked to pieces, the pic
lures slit from corner to corner, the
leather and other chair coverings
have been ripped and all the delicate
marqueterie and the irreplaeable ex-
amples of craftsmanship of past CEN
turtles have been smashed. The legs
have been torn off the tables and
used in further work of destruction.
There is not mirror which has not
been broken and the glass and china
flung at them lie in fragments before
them.
"The costly carpets have been soil
ed and rent in every possible way and
ink pots flung at the silken papers
on the walls. This vengeful fury has
been carried even to the extent of
smashing nurseries and doll houses.
The fashion in which beds and rooms
have been defiled is difficult of de-
scription. 1t would seem the work of
lunatics." ..,s..zss,s,s !

WASHINGTON NOT SURPRISED

Washington, July 30-While no Of
fetal notice has been received here Of
a breach of relations between the
Central Powers and Turkey, for with
out doubt Austria is also involved in
the dispute. officials expressed little
surprise at the Copenhagen dispatch
from London saying Germany and
Turkey had severed relations. 1t has
been realized some time that Ger
many, in an effort to serve both Tur-
key and Bulgaria in the division of
spoils, had incurred the i'll will of
both her allies. 1t is the belief in
Turkey that favoritism has been
shown Bulgaria, which has caused a
rapid growth of anti-German feeling
in Constantinople. That Turkey is
thoroughly weary of the war is in
dicated by the failure of the latest
Turkish loan in June. However, some
doubt exists in the minds Of officials
whether severance of relations, it
effected, will be permanent. 1t is be-
lieved that Germany. with Bulgaria
and Austria, will undertake to deal
sternly with Turkey. 1t is known also
that the Turkish army is differed al
most altogether by Germans, and
while the government might break
off relations the army would remain
thoroughly German.

Making Desperate Attempt to
Drive Allies Back to

At LEAST A MILLION HUNS IN THE GREAT RHEIMS s0Ss0AS
BATTLE, BUT FRENCH AND AMERICANS HOLD THEIR OWN
Associated Press

The Germans have thrown a million
men into the gigantic battle between
Scissors and Rheims, and have been
viciously attacking along the
whole front. This formidable force,
however, appears to have made not
more than dent or two in the Allied
front, while at other places Allied
progress is reported.
Unofficial advices state that sew
enty-one Teuton divisions are en-
gagged in the struggle. Of these ten
have been drawn from the force of
Prince Rupprecht in the north.
SETBACK FOR OUR SOLDIERS
London, July 30.-The Germans
have been counter attacking heavily
along virtually the entire battle
front, according to dispatches receiv-
ed shortly after noon today. The
attack was especially heavy on the
American sector and resulted in driv-
ing the Americans out of the village
of Cierges, five and half miles
southeast of n-Tardenois. An
other German thrust drove the AM
ericans from Beugneux, near Grand
Rozoy, northwest of Fere-en- -Tarde-
nois. There also has been heavy
fighting near Buzancy and the Pies
sier woods. In the latter locality
forty-five prisoners were taken be-
longing to three enemy divisions now
engaged in the Marne salient. There
are seventy-one such divisions, ten of
which belong to the northern army of
Prince Rupprecht. The enemy's with
drawal is reported as still orderly.
