become one of the most barbarous ev-
err known in history. Not only have
they employed these atrocious weap-
ons, but the Belgian government has
openly encouraged and since long care
fully prepared the participation of the
Belgian civil population in the fight
ing. The atrocities committed even
by women and priests in this guerilla
warfare, also on wounded soldiers,
medical staff and nurses, doctors kill
ed, hospitals attacked by rifle fire,
were such that my generals finally
were compelled to take the most dras-
tic measures in order to punish the
guilty ard to brighten the bloodthirs-
ty population from continuing their
work of vile murder and horror. Some
villages and even the old town of Loe-
wen (Louvain), excepting the fine no
tel de vile, had to be destroyed in self
defense and for the protection of my
troops. My heart blecds when l see
that such measures have become I'M
avoidable and when l think of the nu-
merous innocent people who lose their
home and property as a consequence
of the barborous behavior of those
criminals.

1t is doubtful if the subjects of

telegraph wires over which they might
instantly convey their sentiments, did

other less drastic methods to effect the

four chair barber shop and have all
we can do and more too. We get one
third of what we do and are excused
from all extra duty. The only draw
back to barbering is that we don't
get any money until the end of each
month.
Charley, it may be long time be-
fore you hear of any of my deeds of
valor, but if the pretzel bobbers ever

We know of no other enterprise that
Is needed for Julesburg more than an
ice plant, and We would like to see
the progressive citizens of our city
get behind movement that has been
started tosecure such an enterprise
for our city.
During the past several years it has
been an almost impossibility for a
large number of our citizens to OBJ
tain ice during the summer months,
and such condition is more or less
of detriment to the progress and
growth of our city. An ice plant in
Julesburg should prove to be a pay
ing investment, and there is no ques-
ton as to the convenience such an in
stitution would afford.
The matter of an ice plant has been
discussed to some extent at recent
monday luncheon of the Julesburg
business men, and committee has
been appointed to ascertain what
could be accomplished in the way of
securing such an enterprise. The COM
mittee is composed of George H.
Thompson, G. S. Kinsman and Mayor
Hileman. These gentlemen should
receive the hearty cooperation of the
citizens of this community in this
matter-as it is a certainty that an
ice plant is of vital need for our
city.
1t is true that some of our citi.
zens are sufficiently supplied each
year with ice owing to the fact that
they are members of private compa-
MES which put up ice for their indi-
vidual use, but looking at the propo-
sltion from community standpoint
1t would prove to be a much more
beneficial enterprise if one ice plant
was in operation which would supply
an adequate supply of ice for all

BOOKS FOR THE
SOLDIER BOYS IN CAMP

"Sending Smiles" to the soldiers
in the various training camps of the
country through the purchase of
Smileage books is to be the occupation
of local citizens during the week of
January IS. During this week every
community in the United States will
be engaged in this campaign, which
has for its chief purpose the providing
of clean, wholesome entertainment for
our boys in the training camps during
their leisure hours
The Military Entertainment ccun-
Gil, special commission appointed
with the full approval of President
Wilson, has arranged with the fore
most theatrical! and entertainment peo-
pie of the country for series of the
atrical successes, vaudeville and must
cal performances and lectures to be
given in the Liberty theaters" built
by the government at every camp.
Attractions which would ordinarily
cost from $1.OO to $500 are to be Civ
en- in the camps by the best companies
obtainable for cost to the soldiers of
from 10 to 25 cents.
Today large majority of the SOL
diers are sending practically all of
their pay home, and in order to give
every man an opportunity of enjoying
these entertainments, and at the same
time make him feel more keenly that
the people at home are back of him,
Smileage books, similar in form to
railway mileage books are to be plac-
ed on sale in every town in the United
States. These books will contain 20
coupons which will sell for $1.OO pc.
book, or 100 coupons which will sell for
$500 per book.
1t is proposed that the purchasers
of these books send them to soldiers
in the training camps. The coupons
will pay for admission to any theater
in any of the National Guard camps or
army cantonments. There is hardly
a community in the state from which
some boys have not gone to these
camps, and it is felt that the folks at
home will readily respond to the ap-

BETTER CLOSE THE DOOR
TO ALL THE PEDDLERS

In number of states the authori
ties have found it expedient to pre-
vent peddlers from running over the
country.
In some cases they have been found
to be pro-German sympathizers, and
occasionally one has been found who
was selling stolen goods.
In any event, it is most unneces-
sary work during war times, for they
could be more profitably employed at
other work.
Our suggestion is to close to door
on the peddler and then you are tax
ing no chances.

up Julesburg and we believe this to
be an important factor-placing such
an important commodity during the
summer months At the disposal of all
our citizens.
Let's boost for an ice plant for this
community. We have no doubt but
that in the event such an enterprise
was a reality within our midst that
it would receive the cooperation of all
our citizens-and it would enjoy q
splendid patronage.

We are living in a period of swift
