Physician Tells of
German Brutalities i

[By United Press]
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Dr. P. H.
Howard ef St. Louis, member of the
chamber of commerce of that city, is
convinced of the bestial brutality of
the German soldier.
Dr. Howard is back in this country
after serving in France with the Sal-
vation Army. He made the trip to
tell the American people just what he
has seen happen to some of the boys
who have gone across seas to fight
the Hun, but will not return to tell
about it.
Dr. Howard says he is going to do
the telling for them. There is the
story of A. B. Cole, East Liverpool,
Ohio, sergeant, who was fastened to a
barn door with bayonets through his
hands and feet and the story of how
his brother, A. C. Cole, found the piti-
ful helpless figure and then exacted
vengeance from the fleeing Germans.
Also there is the ghastly tale of
Joseph Chicano, who was wounded,
captured and shot because he couldn't
reply to a German captain's ques-
tions. There is the story of how
Chicano was left on the battlefield
for days pleading ineffectualy for aid
from the retreating Germans, and the
details of how a German officer took
another shot at him.
"I cannot give the details of the
vengeance," said Dr. Howard, re-
ferring to the revenge of Sergeant
Cole's brother, "but the punishment
was inadequate, in comparison with
the crime."
Dr. Howard said he stood within a
city block of a certain sector where
the Prussian guard attacked the
Americans.
"I don't believe it would be too
profane to say those American boys
simply knocked the hell out of that,
crack Prussian unit," he declared.
"There isn't enough left of them to
make a respectable link sausage for
a cannibal."
He related the story of how a
French artillery officer turned a bat-
tery on a spot where he thought there
was a German ammunition dump and
touched off the greatest fireworks
display Dr. Howard had ever seen,
then executed a two-step.
