BRITISH HONDURAS HOT SPOT
steam-Hesting Plants and Heavy
Overcoats Never in Demand in
That Part Of the Earth.

British Honduras keeps its Christ
mas in the shade. From it's position,
pretty near to the equator, and wedged
in between Yucatan and Guatemala, it
it is always hot in that country, and
especially so when it is midwinter
with us. It is land of costly woods,
innumerable semivarieties of them, and
of lovely flowers. 1t is one Of the ma
tive homes of hummingbirds and gor-
geous butterflies. In fact, nature is
rather more gaudy than neat in that
part of the world. English people
settled there from Jamaica as long
ago as in 1857, but it was not until
over a century later that treaty ar
rangements with Spain made their POI
sition secure as still Inhabitants of the
British empire. A good deal of the
country is marshland but the Cocks
comb mountains which run into Hon
duras from Guatemala are in places
1000 feet high, and wherever really
dry land is found the ground is Won
derfully fertile. Mahogany grows
there to perfection; so does the log
wood used for dyeing, also bananas,
plantains and coconuts. The capital,
Belize. is the chief port of entry, and
the center of the rubber industry,
which depends upon regularly tended
plantations.

be the training we get, for wnen
dirty trick is pulled off on us we get
very nervous around the hands and are
not always able to control them.
So I went for the sentry and wal
loped him in the jaw Then received
his bayonet through the fieshy part of
the forearm. Most bayonet wounds
that we got were in the arm. But
those arms were in front of our faces
at the time. The sentrfes did not aim
for our arms, you can bet on that. A
wound of the kind got would be moth
ing more than a white streak if prop
erly attended to, but I received abso-
Iutely no attention for it and it was
q long time in healing. At that, was
lucky; another bayonet stroke just
grazed my stomach.
I had been at Dulmen for three
weeks when we were transferred to
Brandenburg, Havel, which is known
as ..the hell-hole of Germany to the
prisoners. 1t certainly. is not too
strong name for it, either.
On the way we changed trains at
Osnabruck and from the station plat
form saw German soldiers open up
with machine guns on the women and
children who were rioting for food.

BIT OF UNPUBL ISHED HISTORY
old Man Surely Looked With Prophetic
Eye Into the Future of
"Holy Russia"

Car Alexander of Russia was drfv-

a fire in his coat-tail pocket, which had
been caused when one of his faithful
subjects had slipped an internal ma
chine into it's

The ear was wroth and stopped his
carriage.
.'Why are you laughing, your poor
old fsh?" he asked.
Il am laughing because. while your
family rules Russia now mine will
rule in the near future" replied the
old man.
It was an omen. Alexander dropped
back intv tie carriage seat pale and
trembling. ''Who are you, my man?"
he asked.

time. They told me Of another time
when more than 10000 boys Of from
fourteen to twenty years of age had
been carried away TO Germany. When
was in Lille on October % it had
very few inhabitants except old peo-
pie or very young children. Among
the few exceptions were girls of from
seventeen to twenty years of age nurs-
ing babies, which they told me were
the offspring of German fathers, and
the pathOs of the situation of those
young girls is something ] shall never
forget.
And this condition at Lille is the re-
suit of German ambition for world
domination, an ambition fostered
among the German people through
years Of training, the ambition OF
people whose boast has been that
''night makes right"
am sorry to say have heard peo-
pie attempt to excuse this footing of
Lille on the ground that it could be
shown to be war meAsure-th the need
of Germany for this machinery and
for the labor Of the people deported
to Germany. But these people cannot
find any reasonable excuse for the war
itself, war that was started only for
the selfish purpose Of selfish peo-
pie.
Shall Germany not pay for this con-
dition at Lille? Shall she not pay for
the machinery that was carried away
or destroyed, for the people that were
deported? Shall she not pay for the
years of idleness of these factories,
for the years of idleness of the en-
ployees denied the opportunity of prof
table employment? Shall she not pay
for the markets that have been de-
stroyed and which it will take years
to re-establish If it can ever be done?
No, Germany will never be able to
pay for all of it. She will never be
able to pay, and no sum OF money
could pay for the anguish of those
mothers who were forced to stand
aside and watch their sons and daugh-
tiers carried away into virtual slavery.
She will never be able to pay for the
anguish, the wrecked lives, of those

mans-Punishment Cannot
BE Too Severe.
By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

When a robber breaks into your
house and steals that which he can
carry away and then destroys that
which he cannot steal, you expect that
when caught he will be punished both
for what he stole and for what he de-
stroyed
So it is with Germany.
The German army, acting under the
orders Of the German government,
stole everything it could carry away in
the invaded sections Of Belgium and
France, and what it could not carry
away it destroyed.
was in the city Of Lille very short
~ after the retreating Germans had
evacuated it. Before the war Lille
had been one of the busiest and most
prosperous manufacturing towns in all
of Europe. It's great factories, pro-
ducing linens, cottons, velvets, ribbons
and wooden goods, had patrons all over
the world, and its sugar and chemical
plants supplied much Of France with
these products.
For four years, during the German
occupation, the factories of Lille had
been idle. They are idle today, and
they will be idle for many months to
come. The reason is that Germany
stole the machinery from all of these
factories, or in the very few cases
where actual theft was not possible or
profitable, they destroyed the machin-
cry. The people Of Lille told me that
this theft of machinery had been car
ried to such lengths that the Huns
even invaded the homes Of the people
and took from them their sewing ma
chimes.

The German army looted this beau

FooIinu the Coolies.

who had been in action, asking if he
had acquired coolies Ills reply came
back: YES, indeed, / had coolies.
One is not a regular soldier until he
does have them, but got rid of mine
in this fashion: sprinkled my
clothes all over with salt, then laid
them down on river bank. The
coolies became very thirsty and got off
the clothes to get a drink, then pulled
them away quickly. Nine-tenths of the
coolies died from modification and the
fhe other tenth from lonesorneness. -
