men, were more terrible than the men.
It was no longer the Berlin we had
known. No one was safe from plum
derers, pillagers and murderers. The
$4,000 inmates of prisons, men and
women, who had been released by the
Bolsheviki, put on army uniforms and
were sent to houses and shops of citi-
zens as representatives of the govern
ment Citizens did not dare to ques-
ton their authority as they wore the
imperial uniform. They took valuables
and food, not because they were
hungry, but because they did not want
the upper classes to have them.
Took Friends Jeweiry
Three looters in the uniforms Of
officers came to the home Of friend
Of mine and demanded admittance
in the name of the government. One
pointed a gun at the head of the man
of the house and told. him to produce
10, 600 marks or be shot. He protested
he did not have. it, and the visitors
said they would have to shoot. The
wife cried out that she would get
iewelry to that value. The poor WON.
an had to give up the contents Of her
iewelry boxes, and even the rings
she wore to satisfy the marauders.
ut seemed as if all Germany were
insane or drunk. The Bolsheviki
treated the returning German soldiers
terribly. The poor men had been
marching for three weeks steadily to
get home and all through Germany
had been treated splendidly, my son-in.
law told me, and had the best of food
given them by the inhabitants. When
they reached Berlin the Bolsheviki
tore the imperial insignia from their
caps and uniforms, spat upon them
and slapped their cheeks and made
them carry red flags. The poor men
did not know what to do, for they
had been given no warning of the
Bolsheviki."

LAYMEN SPEAK
-
ON SUNDAY

On Sunday at the First M. e. church
the pastor, Rev. c. e, Weed, gave way
to the laymen, and they discussed live
topics
w. D. Stanley's subject was "The
New Emphasis new era move
ment. He spoke of the educational
and religious interests of the various
denominations and discussed more eff
fective methods to be employed. He
dwelt encouragingly on the great
movement in which the church is now
engaged.
/ How to 1.-THE and Why" was pre-
Sented by l.. B. Irish and he held that
if farmers tithed properly they would
keep books. He also stated the pres
ent system of federal taxation was
bringing them to it. He spoke Of
Scriptural tithing and advocated the
ten per cent as found in Holy Writ.
T. B. Towle gave his personal expe-
riences on tithing and said it had
proven very satisfactory.
Franklin Johnson gave a brief adj
dress ON 1.-THE Centenary and the
League of Nations" He stated the
centenary movement began in 1916,
the one hundredth anniversary of the
founding of missions by the church.
War checked the movement some
what, but at the present time there
is a great impetus to raise the neces-
sary amount. 1t is the intention to
Svo
sessions, India, and other countries.
Forty millions will be raised for the
home fund, forty millions for the for
eign field, and twenty-five millions for
war relief work. 1t is the plan to in
terest $4,000 workers = teachers,
preachers and doctors. The climax
Of the campaign will come in April.
Mr.. Johnson closed by asserting the
league of nations could not succeed
unless there was back of it unselfish
character to carry it into effect.
T. F. Risley attended the peace
meeting at Chicago, where he heard
former President Taft and other ma
tional characters discuss the world
idea. He then attended the centen-
airy meeting at Minneapolis and gave
an account of the meetings He vel
coined the discussion over the peace
plan and although it is not perfect,
yet it goes a long way toward human
happiness. He did not believe IN con-
juring up dark things-things which
may or may not happen as a result of
the new covenant.

The Professors Adventure

"As | was strolling homeward in
the cleaning last evening, bearing
several small packages from the
neighboring grocery" related Pro-
lessor Pate, "a young man of mean
and disreputable appearance stepped
out of an alley and, flourishing re-
volver, demanded in an extremely
discourteous manner my kale and
cadaroons. Having no such vegetables
or fruit with me, took a dill pickle
from bag of them that / was carry
ing home for the delectation Of bro
Their in law who is visiting me and
has morbid tastes, and extended it to-
ward him. Thereupon the young man
uttered a cry of terror, jumped out
from under his hat and fled like a
roebuck. I do not know whether he
thought the dill pickle was some new
lethal weapon or recognized it for
what it was and feared was going to
compel him to eat 1t.

Mrs. John .Barth Says the City,
After the Arn1istice, Was a Place
of Untold Horrors

! Mrs. John Barth of Milwaukee is
home again after having spent the
years of the war in Berlin. She is a
sister of Fred and August Vogel, Mrs
A. G. HelmholZ and Mrs. Emile Nun,
nemacher of Milwaukee.
Berlin in Sad Condition
Berlin is in sad condition." Mrs
Barth says in a Milwaukee paper
Even its streets are no longer swept

None Of the lower classes who were
in the habit Of doing mental tasks Will
do anything of the sort now
Mrs. Barth said the only direct
news she had in four years from the
United States came via the Red Cross
and was that the United States gov
eminent had seized her property. She
added that so far she had been un-
able to get it back.
Mrs. Barth says she is a loyal Amer
lean, born in this country, but as
she had German parents, is able to be
just in her opinion OF Germany, and
has sympathy for it in it's adversely
She said it was heartbreaking to wit
ness the results Of the war, and re-
ferring to a German father who had
lost eleven sons, she asked "Of what
use is all that sacrifice now?" She
said if her parents had lived to see
the catastrophe which has overtaken
Germany they. would be overwhelmed
with grief
Never Hungry
we were never hungry, although
we suffered inconvenience and such
hardships as having but a pound of
meat per week per person." she said
Although children under had full
rations Of milk, after that age the
children were allowed but half pint
day, which is pitiful amount for
grow ng children. The poor people of
Germany will feel the result of their
sacrifices for generations. Sugar ra-
tons were much larger in Germany
than they were in the United States.
Eggs cost as high as marks Gao cents
apiece"
Mrs. Barth said she had been
warned by her friends not to talk
upon subjects relating to Berlin and
Germany, except those that were al
ready a matter of public knowledge,
for if she did, they told her, she would
get into trouble. She remained In
Germany for some time after the sign
ing Of the armistice before she was
able to get her passports for America,
and then spent month in Copen-
hagen on her way home.
