BELGIANS FORCED
To AID GERMANS
kaiser's Officers Showed Open
Disregard of Interna-
tionai Law.
W0RKMEN SEIZED AS SLAVES
Cardinal Mercier Moved to Bitter Con-
demnation of Acts of German Au-
thorities Which Aroused Detes-
tatlon of Christendom.

Contrary to rules laid down By
the Hague convention, and all prin-
cipIes of civilized warfare, German
authorities forced Belgians to aid
them in the prosecution of the aDar.
The committee on public inforn1a-
ton giUes the facts concerning
these atrocious deeds in a pamphlet
recently made public. from aUhich sOe
take the foHowing:
October II, 1915, the German author
tiles took a long step in the develop
ment Of their policy of forcing the Bel
gians to aid them in prosecuting the
war. The decree of that date reveals
the matter and openly discloses a con-
tempt for international law.
article 1. Whoever, without reason,
refuses to undertake or to continue
work suitable to his occupation, and in
the execution of which the military
administration is interested, such work
being ordered by one or more of the
military commanders, will be liable to
Imprisonment not exceeding one year.
He may also be transported to Ger
many.
"In voking Belgian laws or even in
ternational conventions to the con-
trary, can, in no case, justify the re-
fusal to work.
article 2. Any person who by force,
threats, persuasion, or other means
attempts to influence another to refuse
work as pointed out in Article i, is
liable to the punishment of imprison-
ment not exceeding five years.
ARTICLE 8. Whoever knowingly by
means of aid given or in any other way
abets a punishable refusal to work,
will be liable to a maximum fine of
10000 marks, and in addition may be
condemned to a years imprisonment.
eff communes or associations have
rendered themselves guilty of such an
offense the heads of the communes will
be punished.
"Article f. In addition to the penal
ties stated in Articles and 3, the Ger
man authorities may, in case of need,
impose on communes, where without
reason, work has been refused, a fine
or other coercive police measures.

Food May Be Saved by Close
Watch of Weather Forecasts

Immense losses Of food products, oc-
casioned by freezing and other injuri-
GUS weather conditions, occur annually
that may, with proper precautions, be
avoided. This is especially true Of
shipments by rail during the winter
season. The weather bureau issues
forecasts daily, and special warnings
as occasion demands, giving informa-
ton Of expected weather conditions, in
Guiding frosts, cold waves, high winds
and heavy rains or snow. During the
winter season, officials in charge Of
nearly all weather bureau stations is
sue daily what are known as "Ship-
pers' Forecasts" giving the minimum
temperature expected to occure within
a shipping radius of from "a to SO
hours from the station. These fore
casts are published on postal cards.
Careful watch of forecasts and
warnings will often enable shippers to
avoid losses, either by expediting or
delaying shipments or taking extra pre-
cautions to protect goods from injury.
No shipment of considerable length
should be made without first ascertain
ing the expected conditions over the
route. The occasion demands the ut
most care to prevent losses of food not
only as matter of self-interest but as
a patriotic duty.

Culture Buttermik More
Beneficial as Drink; Has
More Of the Tactic Acid

Culture buttermilk Is more beneficial
as drink than the common variety,
according to G. E. Buchanan of the
dairy department of the Kansas State
Agricultural college. 1t is more like
ly to be free from harmful bacteria,
and to contain more of the Tactic acid
which gives it its healthful properties.
Tactic acid bacteria are present in
the digestive tract and destroy other
bacteria which might prove injurious
to the body. The use of buttermilk as
a beverage is one method of introduc-
ing more of these Tactic bacteria into
the system.
Whole or skim milk may be used to
make culture buttermilk, but usually
these are combined in equal parts. The
milk is first subjected to temperature
of $50 degrees for 80 minutes to steri-
lie it. 1t is then cooled to 20 de-
greeS and a small amount of starter
is added. The milk is kept at this
temperature for ten or twelve hours
until the whole is cOagulated. After
wards it is beaten thoroughly or churn-
ed from three to five minutes and salt
ed-one teaspOonful of salt to each
gallon. The buttermilk is then cooled
to 90 degrees, at which temperature it
is kept ready for use.
The starter is made from pure Tactic
acid culture obtained from the labOra-
tories where it is cultivated. The lac
tic acid bacteria are carried by means
of sterilized milk powder made from
the dried casein of milk.
A small quantity of this powder Is
put into small bottle of milk, which
soon coagulates. The curded milk is
used in a new bottle Of milk the next
day and this process is continued
through three or four preparations.
These preliminary propagations of the
starter are necessary to eliminate the
peculiar taste of the original powdered
milk culture.

ing point, and cook slowly until the
meat is tender. Thicker the gravy,
add half-cupful of stoned ripe olives
and garnish with rings of green pepper
and fried mush.
A salad that is most appetizing is
made Of a small head of cabbage and
one onion chopped fine. Cut thick
slice of salt pork into small dice and
fry out until brown; pour the fat all
over the cabbage, stir well, add salt
and pepper to taste, then pour over
enough boiling hot vinegar to moisten
and further season the cabbage. Serve
at once.

ments, all are there. 1t is slavery, nei-
Their more nor less"
Cardinal MERCER was in error, for
the German authorities were able to
imagine a much more terrible measure.
In October, 1915, when the need for
an additional labor supply in Germany
had become urgent, the German gov
eminent established the system of
forced labor and deportation which
has aroused the detestation of Chris
tendon. The reader will not be misled
by the clumsy effort of the German au-
thorities to mask the real purpose of
the decree.
81. People able to work may be
compelled to work even outside the
place where they live, in case they
have to apply to the charity of others
for the support of themselves or their
dependents on account Of gambling
drunkenness, loafing, unemployment or
idleness.
'II. Every inhabitant of the country
Is bound to render assistance in case
of accident or general danger, and also
to give help in case of public calami-
ties as far as he can, even outside the
place where he lives; in case of refu-
sal he may be compelled by force.
I'LL Anyone called upon to work,
under Articles / or II, who shall re-
fuse the work, or to continue at the
work assigned him, will incur the pen
atty of Imprisonment up to three years
and of a fine up to 10000 marks, or
one or other of these penalties, unless
a severer penalty is provided for by
the laws in force.

The responsibility for this atrocious

of Germany, who had labored so zeal

people with the principles of ruthless
ness. It is significant that the decree

the elevation of Hindenburg to the su-

chief of staff. In his long report Of

first thought was to express her graft
tude to the Commission for Relief in
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand. need
not figure in such a map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem il she Is
given access to shipping and Is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties. The same is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia Is already in the
throes of famine, and 40,000000 people
there are beyond the possibility of
help. Before another spring thou
sands of them inevitably must die.
