GERMANS ARE WARNED
OFFICIALLY BY FRANCE
HUNS MUST EXPIATE FULLY
CRIMES IN NORTHERN
FRANCE.

Paris, France.-Thc French Cow
ernment has issued an official warm
ing to Germany, declaring that she
shall be held responsible for crimes
perpetrated by her retiring armies.
The declaration, which is published
in the press, is an follows:
"The German Government has al
ways proclaimed that, should it ever
be under the necessity OF abandon
ing the French territories it has oc-
cupied, it will only leave behind
land completely devastated.
This savage threat has been car
ried into effect with methodcal fe-
rocity at each enemy withdrawal.
"Thc pressure of the allies COM
pellng the German armies TO re-
tire continuously, they, as meas
ure OF revenge for their invariable
defeats, are wreaking their revenge
more cruelty than ever OIL the peo-
pie, the towns and the soil.
Unfortunately people OF our
provinces are spared nothing.
Torn from their homes. deported
in crowds, driven like herds Of cattle
before the retreating Germans, they
see schools and hospitals fired,
houses and factories pillaged,
churches blown up, gardens de
Ntroyed.
"Ihe roads along which they are
herded are SoWn with internal ma
chimes, and villages are mined in
such manner that they shall eN-
plode ON the approach OF refugees.
Wounded Are Slaughtered
added to all these things, hos
pitfalls are now being bombed and
wounded cynically slaughtered.
"lhe French government, in view
OF these systematic violations of the
laws of humanity is placed under the
imperative necessity OF addressing
a solemn warning to Germany and
the States which take part in this
monstrous work Of devastation that
this conduct, which is in direct con-
travention OF the fundamentals OF
human civilization, shall not go
unpunished.
THE German peofle, who are ac-
completes in these crimes, will have
to bear the consequences. The au
thorities of the crimes as we'll as the
perpetrators will be held response
bic morally, judicially and finan-
cially.

ARMORED CATERPILLAR
TANKS ARE NOW
FIGHTING SUCCESSFULLY

With the French Armies. Sept.
H-(Correspondence OF The Asso-
ciated Press THE armored cater
pillar motor car or "tank,' which is
now in high favor as an engine OF
assault against the enemies lines, al
most fell into discredit in France in
1917. The most successful type has
been the new lighter car with a
swinging turret from which an inch
and a half caliber cannon or ma
chine gun can fire in any direction,
While the British were manufac-
turing their immense heavy tanks y
the French, without knowing OF the
work their allies were doing, eXper-
imcnted with lighter cars, one type
weighing Is tons and another 25
tons. The l3-ton cars made their
appearance in April, 1917, taking
part in the French offensive between
Rheims and the Aisne, as an expert
ment.
The losses appeared to be excess
i've and the report spread that they
caught fire every time they were hit
by propectile. The death OF Com
mandant Bossut while leading an
assault with one OF the cars created
a profound impression.
Two later operations, however,
modified military opinion regarding
them and they proved to be most
effective.

GLEE CLUB OF DIVISION NO. 1

JULIA DEMPSEY.

On Monday evening last the Glee
club of Division No. l, L. A., A. o. H.,
with number of other members of
the division, by a private prearrange-
ment, hied themselves out to the home
of Mrs. Julia Dempsey, No. 3648 Elliot
avenue, the president of the division.
They brought with them a suitable
gift to keep as remembrance of the
delightful greeting. Mrs. Dempsey,
though taken by complete surprise,
graciously received her unexpected
visitors, and thanked them profusely
Tor their handsome token. To avoid
any embarrassment on the part of
their hostess, the ladies had provided
themselves with complete picnic
luncheon outfit, and in due time pro-
ceeded to the dining room, where a
number of them had been busy for
some time after their arrival. A
luncheon of appetizing quality and por-
ton suddenly appeared as if by magic
on the dining room table, and it's dis
appearance followed somewhat more
leisurely. Music, games and general
sociability followed, after which the
guests gave cheer for their president
and left for their homes.

true and false, the right and wrong in
all questions and subjects.
He deliberated slowly but decided
surely. and once his decision was
formed he seldom reversed it. Cour-
age, physical and moral were a part
of his human nature. His ambition
was that of noble kind, which aims to
excel in whatever it undertakes.
His moral qualities were in perfect
harmony with those of his intellect.
Duty was the ruling principle of his
conduct Truth, integrity and justice
were deeply rooted in his mind. Weak
ness, follies and indiscretions he could
forgive, but honesty he could never
forget. He was true to his friends and
faithful to all. His passions were
strong and sometimes they broke with
vehemence. but he had the power Of
checking them in an instant.
A Christian in faith and practice,
he was devout. His reverence for re-
ligion is seen in his example, his pub
lie communications and his private
writings. Charitable. humane and
kind to those in distress, without van
ity, ostentation or pride. He never
spoke of himself unless required by
circumstances which concerned the
public interest.
IT he had one passion stronger than
another, it was the love of his country.
Love of country in him was invested
with the sacred obligations of duty.
This great man, who was born in
cabin, tutored in rough schools here
and there, snatching at crumbs of
learning which fell from the rich ia
bles, was one of the greatest presi
dents of the United States.
