They Never
Understood

And so it went, day after day.
Sometimes the Germans mastered
the situations that confronted them
cleverly, but more often they eff
fected their desires by brute force
or pigheadedness. For the latter
quality the boche is supreme. An
excellent example of that was Of
fered when, after the slaughter
that took place at Louvain, the
Germans held an inquiry at which
various members of the Ameri-
lean staff were requested to testify.
The American government did not
wish to have them appear as wit
nesses and the board Of inquiry was
notified to that effect. However,
zone morning, during the progress
of the hearing, German officer ap-
peared at the legation. He was
large, portly, dressed in the gray
green uniform, wore a heavy sword
and thick PROFESSIONAL spectacles.
Under his arm he bore an enormous
portfolio that might have contained,
could he have found it, enough evil
dence to convict seven million Bel
gians. He entered, clicked his heels,
placed his hand at his helmet, bowed
stiftly, and without more ado seated
himself at my desk, opened his port
folio, spread it out before him, and,
in short, told US to begin testifying.

Mr.. Whitlock once asked a Ger
man officer why it was that some
Of his fellow officers insisted on
making beasts of themselves. The
reply came promptly, "Sont les
Prussiens'-(They are prussians)
and then he checked himself, add
ing that Mr.. Whitlock had better
not repeat his remark. However,
it was an illuminating admission.
Mr.. Whitlock gives the devil his
due. There was one German officer
who had lived long years in London
and could not be considered typi-
caily German, and who, one evening
In Dir. Whitlock's house, made the
remark, "This business of standing

man"

WINE GRAPE JUICE

Cheer is in store for the wine grape
growers of California, if plans of c. 4.
Rogers, Detroit manufacturer of con-
densing machinery. come to maturity.
Mr.. Rogers, who recently purchased an
interest in the plant Of the Hood River
Apple Vinegar Co., where cider con
densing machinery is now being in
stalled, believes that grape juice can
be condensed to point where it will
not ferment. BY the addition of water,
the condensed product is restored to its
fresh state and can be used in the man
ufacture of wine.
If the grape growers can solve their
problem in this manner. says Mr.
Rogers, ut will enable them to export
their product They could sell their
Juice abroad at the present time at
handsome profits, If you will note hop
growers are going to get more for their
crops this year than in former years.
The same will be true Of the juice of
WINE grapes of it can be condensed.
Mr.. Rogers will leave here soon for
California to conduct experiments in
condensing grape juice.
