Tells of Priest* Compelled to Walk Be-
fore "Huns" to Form Screen—
Cardinal Mercler's Statement
as to Taking of Hostages.
That the Oermans in Belgium
made use of women, children, and
priests as screens to protect the in-
vaders from Belgian troops is shown
by the following testimony gathered
by ihe committee on public infor-
mation:
Minister Whitlock, in his report of
September 12, 1917, to the secretary of
states, gives an instance of the Ger-
man practice of seeking protection.
"The Germans attacked Hougaerde
on the 18th August; the Belgian troops
were holding the Gette bridge in the
village. The Germans forced the par-
ish priest of Autgnerden to walk in
front of them as a shield. As they
neared the barricade the Belgian sol-
diers fired and the priest was killed.
After the retreat of the Belgians the
Germans shot four men, burned 50
houses, and looted 100."
Hugh Gibson, in "A Journal From
Our Legation In Belgium," page 155,
gives another Incident:
"Two old priests have staggered in-
to the legation more dead than
alive after having been compelled to
walk ahead of the Germnn troops for
miles as a sort -of protecting screen.
One of them is ill, and it is said that
he may die as a result of what he has
gone through."
Statement of Cardinal Mercler.
The thousands of U. S. fanners who have accepted
Canada's generous offer to settle on homesteads or buy
farm land in her provinces have been well repaid by
bountiful crops of wheat and other Brains.

"At the time of the invasion Bel-
gian civilians, in 20 places, were caade
to take part in operations of war
against their own country. At Ter-
monde, Lebbeke, Dlnant and elsewhere
in many places, peaceable citizens,
women aud children were forced to
march In front of German regiments
or to make a screen before thenj.
"The system of hostages was carried
out with u fierce cruelty. The procla-
mation of August 4th, quoted above,
declared, without circumlocution:
'Hostages will be freely tuken.'
"An official proclamation, posted at
Liege, In the early days of August, ran
thus: 'Every aggression committed
against the German troops by any per-
sons other than soldiers in uniform
not only exposes the guilty person to
be immediately shot, but will also en-
tall the severest reprisals against all
the Inhabitants, and especially against
those natives of Liege who have been
detained as hostages in the citadel of
Liege by the commandant of the Ger-
man troops.'
"These hostages are Monsignor Rut
ten, bishop of Liege ; M. Kleyer, burgo-
master of Liege; the senators, repre-
sentatives, and the permanent deputy
and sheriff of Liege."
The above quotation is taken from
"An Appeal to Truth," addressed No-
vember 24, 1915, by Cardinal Mercler
and the other bishops of Belgium to
the cardinals, archbishops, and bishops
of Germany and Austria-Hungary. s
"Some ten or a dozen American cor-
respondents, of whom I wag one, wit-
nessed the first German drive through
Belgium. Most of us were so appalled
and horrified by what we saw as to be-
come anti-German for life." Will Ir-

ber 8, 1917. page 41.
Robbery Under Guise of Fines.
The contracting nations, Includinj
Germany, who signed the conventions
of the second peace conference at The
Hague, 1907, pledged themselves to the
following:
Article L. No general penalty, pe-
cuniary or otherwise, shall be inflicted
upon the population on account -of the
acts of individuals for which they can-
not be regarded as jointly and several-
ly responsible."
"Article LII. Requisitions in kind
and services shaM not be demanded
from municipalities or Inhabitants ex-
cept for the needs of the army of oc-
cupation. They shall be in proportion
to the resources of the country, and of
such a nature as not to involve the in-
habitants in the obligation of taking
part in military operations against
their own country."
The German authorities have violat-
ed these articles from the very begin-
ning. As soon as they invaded Bel-
gium, heavy fines were laid upon Indi-
vidual communities as reprisals for
some act against the German army or
its regulations which was committed
within their boundaries. In "An Ap-
peal to Truth" Cardinal Mercier cites
the following cases:
"Mallnes, a working-class town,
without resources, has had a fine of
20,000 marks Inflicted on it because
the burgomaster did not inform the
military authority of a Journey which
the cardinal, deprived of the use of his
motorcar, had been obliged to make
on foot. In fact, upon the fiimelest
pretexts heavy fines are Inflicted on
communes. The commune of Puers
was subjected to a fine of 3,000 marks
because a telegraph wire was broken,
although the inquiry showed thnt It
had given way through wear."
Merciless Exactions.
Stop using calomel I It makes- you
sick. Don't lose a day's work. If you
feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or consti-
pated, listen to me I
Calomel Is mercury or quicksilver,
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, break-
ing it up. This Is when you feel that
awful nausea and cramping. If you
are "all knocked out," if your liver is
torpid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated ton-
gue, if breath is bad or stomach sour,
Just try a spoonful of harmless Dod-
son's Liver Tone.
Here's my guarantee—Go to any
drug store and get a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone for a few cents. Take a
spoonful tonight, and if it doesn't
straighten you right up nnd make you
feel fine aud vigorous by morning, I
want you to go back to the store nnd
get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone
is destroying the sale of calomel be-
cause it is real liver medicine; entirely
vegetable, therefore it can not salivate
or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that sour bile and1 consti-
pated waste which is clogging your
system nnd making you feel miserable.
T guarantee that a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone will keep the entire family
feeling line for months. Give it to
your children. It is harmless; doesn't
gripe nnd they like Its pleasant taste.

zen. "Do you think I'm going to let her
find out how ornery I am, Just to

Her Face Beams
In addition to such arbitrary,
sporadic exactions, in December, 1914,
the Germans demanded 40,000,000
francs ($8,000,000), a month to be
paid by the Belgian provinces Jointly.
Concerning this enormous imposition
Cardinal Mercler says, In the "Appeal
to Truth:"
"Now, in December, 1914, Belgium
was devastated. Contributions of war
imposed on the towns and innumerable
requisitions in kind had exhausted her.
The greater part of the factories were
idle, and in those which were still at
work, raw materials were, contrary to
all law, being freely commandeered.
"It was on this impoverished Bel-
gium, living on foreign charity, that a
contribution of nearly 000,000,000
francs was Imposed.'*
The German military rules have also
made the fumllles responsible for acts
committed by or charged ugalnst mem-
bers as is shown in the following ex-
amples, which are quoted from the i
"Appeal to Truth, cited above:
"The Belgian government have sent !
orders to rejoin the army to the mi- '
lltlamen of several clnsses. . . . All i
those who receive these orders are
strictly forbidden to act upon them.
. . . In case of disobedience the
family of the militiaman will be held
equally responsible."
Punishment "Without Mercy."
The commander in chief of the Ger-
man army in Belgium posted 'a procla-
mation declaring:
"The villages where acts of hostility
shall be committed by the Inhabitants
against our troops will be burned.
"For all destruction of rouds, rail-
ways, bridges, etc., the villages in the
neighborhood of the destruction will
be held responsible.
"The punishments announced above i
will be carried out severely and with-
out mercy. The whole community
will be held responsible. Hostages
will be taken in large numbers. The
heaviest war taxes will be levied."
At the end of the "Appeal to Truth"
Cardinal Mercier says:
"But we cannot say all here, nor
quote all.
"If, however, our readers wish for
the proof of the accusations . . .
we shall be glad to furnish them.
There is not In our letter, nor in the
four annexes [to the "Appeal to
Truth], one allegatiou of which we
have not the proofs in our records."
