Mr. J. J. Hlssey, In his book, ‘‘The
Hoad to the Inn,” tells the following
story:
A parson was quietly seated in his
study when one of his male parish-
ioners was shown In to him, carrying
a baby.
“Parson,” he says, “as the law tells I
must give you one-tenth of nil I pro-
duce, here’s my tenth child,” and with-
out another word the man placed the
baby on the astonished parson's knee
and departed.

F r 30’S
Officer* of “Modern Attlts” Gave At-
titude of England as Excuse for
Repeating In France Atroci-
ties Practiced In Belgium.
The course of the German armies
in France was marked with the same
brutalities that characterized the oc-
cupation of Belgium. Ample proof
has been produced that the entire
proceedings were a deliberate part
of the calculated system of "fright-
fulness."
| In Frnnce the German system of
forced labor ntul deportations, with Its
horrors, was the snme ns In Belgium.
In this nrtlele Is shown the real iden-
tity of German practice In both occu-
pied regions. This can he done from
the oflielal documents and from a sum-
mary by Ambassador Gerard. The
harrowing details may he guthered
from the scores of depositions which
accompany the note addressed by the
French government to the governments
of the neutral powers July 23, 1910.
These are on {lie In the state depart-
ment, nml have also been translated,
along with the official documents, In
“The Deportation of Women and
Girls From Lille.” (New York, Doran.)
German Proclamation at Lille.
“The attitude of England makes the
provisioning of the population more
and more dlfilrult.
“To reduce the misery, the German
authorities huve recently asked for
volunteers to ro and work In the
country. This offer has not hud the
success that was expected.
“In consequence of this the inhab-
| Itnnts will be deported by order and
removed Into the country. Persons
deported will be sent to the Interior
1 of the occupied territory In Frnnce, far
behind the front, where they will be
employed In agricultural labor, and
not on any military work whatever.
By this measure they will be given
the opportunity of providing better
for tlietr subsistence.
“In case of necessity, provisions can
be obtained through the German de-
pots. Every person deported will be
allowed to take with him 30 kilo-
grams of bnggage (household utensils,
clothes, etc.), which It will be well to
make ready at once.
“I therefore order that no one, un-
til further orders, shall change his
place of residence. No one may ab-
sent himself from his declared legal
residence from 9 p. m. to 6 a. m. (Ger-
man time), unless he Is In possession
of a permit In due form.
“Inasmuch as this Is an Irrevocable
measure, It Is In the Interest of the
population itself to remain calm and
obedient.

“All the Inhabitants of the houses,
with the exception of children under
fourteen nnd their mothers, and nlso
of old people, must prepare themselves
for transportation in an hour and a
half’s time.
“An officer will decide definitely
what persons will be taken to the
concentration camps. For this pur-
pose all the Inhabitants of the house
must assemble in front of It; In case
of bad weather they may remain In

one’s bnggage exceeds that weight, It

(Lille, April, 191§.)
Belgian Address to French President.
"To Monsieur Raymond Poincare,
President of the French Republic,
Paris.
“Sir: We have the honor to ex-
press again our most sincere grati-
tude to you for your most kind recep-
tion, a few days ago, of the deputa-
tion which went with feelings of legit-
imate emotion to Inform you of the
deportation of inds nnd girls, which
the German authorities have just car-
ried out in the invaded districts.
“We have collected some details on
the subject from the lips of an honor-
able nnd trustworthy person, who sue*
ceeded in leaving Tourcolng about ten
days ago; «« think It our duty M
bring these details to your notice h|
reproducing textuully the declarations
which hun* been made to ua:
“ ‘These deportations begun towards
Easter. The Germans announced that
the Inhabitants of Itoubnlx, Tourcolng.
Lille, etc., were going to he transport-
ed Into French districts where thelt
provisioning would he easier.’
“‘At night, at about two o'clock In
the morning, u whole district of the
town was Invested by the troops of oc-
cupation. To each house was distrib-
uted a printed notice, of which we glvs
herein un exact reproduction, preserv-
ing the style and spelling.' (See docu-
ment, above.)
“ The liihuhltants so warned were to
hold themselves ready to depart an
hour und a half after the distribution
of the proclamation,'
“'Each family, drawn up outsideth*
house, was examined by an officer, who
pointed out haphazard the persons who
were to go. No words cun express the
barbarity of this proceeding nor de-
scribe the heartrending scenes which
occurred; young men and girls took
hasty t'urcwell of their parents -a fare-
well hurried by the Germnn soldiers
who were executing the Infamous task
—rejoined the group of those who Were
going, and found themselves In tlm
middle of the street, surrounded by
other soldiers with fixed bayonets.'
“ Tears of despair on the part of
parents und children so ruthlessly
separated did not soften the hearts o(
the brutal Germans. Sometimes, how-
ever, a more kind-hearted officer yield-
ed to too greut despair and did not
choose all the persons whom he should
—by the terms of hla Instructions—
have separated.’
Herded Lika Cattle.
“ These girls and lads wore taken
in street curs to factories, where they
were numbered und labeled like cattls
und grouped to form convoys. In these
factories, they remained 12, 24 or 36
hours until u train wu* ready to re-
move them.’
“The deportation began with tha
villages of Roney, Hall.iin, etc., then
Tourcolng nnd Roubalg. In the towns
the Germuns proceeded by districts.’
“ ‘In all about 80,000 persons are said
to have been carried off up to the pres-
ent. This monstrous operation has
tuken eight to ten days to accomplish.
“The reason given by the German
authorities is n humanitarian (?) one.
They have put forward the following
pretexts: provisioning Is going to
break down in the large towns In the
north and their suburbs, whereas In
the Ardennes the feeding is easy und
cheap.’
“ ‘It is known from the young men
and girls, since sent back to their
families for reasons of health, that In
the department of the Ardennes the
victims are lodged In a terriblo man-
ner, In disgraceful promiscuity; they
are compelled to work in the fields. It
is unnecessary to say that the inhabi-
tants of our towns are not trained to
such work. The Germans pay them
1.50 m. But there are complaints of
Insufficient food.’

DANGEROUS MOMENT AHEAD
Americans Must Guard Against Day
Whsn Teutons, Beaten, Offer
Peace on Basis of Status
Quo Ante.
By J. FRANK DAVIS.
Perhaps the most dangerous moment
fur America In all this war will he the
moment when Germany, admitting she
cannot win, offers to make peace on the
basis of the status quo unto to go
hack to where things were before she
set forth so blithely upon her great ad-
venture.
Already her newspapers talk of such
a ponce. The relchstag “no annexa-
tions and no indemnities” resolution Is
a “feeler” for It. The war lords allow
this talk to he made, although they
have not officially sanctioned the prop-
osition.
The day will come when they will,
however, and Unit will be a dangerous
day for America.
From what we see quoted from Ger-
man newspapers It Is quite clear that
the people of Germany think they huve
only to offer to go back to where they
were before the war to gala peace.
When they suy “no annexations and no
Indemnities” they mean no annexations
by Germany und no Indemnities to be
collected by Germany, because It has
not even entered tlie head of one man
!n ten In all Germany that they may he
forced to make reparation.
Germans Still Deceived.
Also Germany does not understand
that any mere promise on her part not
to attack her neighbors will not he
taken. The Germans ns a whole still
ure deceived into thinking their rulers
did not start the war. They do not ap-
preciate that their promise not to of-
fend again would he a worthless prom-
ise. They do not know that their nil- j
tlon Is morally bankrupt; that the
word of Its overlords is no longer of
the slightest value In the councils of
civilization.
When they get ready to admit that \
they cannot win and to offer to return j
to the status quo they will expect their
enemies to accept those terms—In ef-
fect a pence made in Germany. And
we must be prepared for u considerable
movement In the United States advo-
cating the acceptance of such an offer,
The hyphenates nnd the pacifists
and the cowards and all the other cop-
perheads will be for It. “What more Is

ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR
AMPLE PROOF OF ATROCITIES
Committee Appointed by the Belgian
Government Collected Facts as
to German War Practices.
In the hope of arousing the sym-
pathy and securing the aid of the neu-
tral nations, the Belgian government
appointed a committee to ascertain
the facts about German war practices.
The evidence collected by the Belgian
commissioners Is detailed and explicit,
ud their reports give names, places,
them with many Insults, which only
ceased when the forcible deportation
of which they were the victims beeuwe
known.’
“ ‘Feeling ran especially high In our
towns. Never lias so Iniquitous a
measure been carried out. The Ger-
mans have shown all the barbarity of
slave drivers.’
“ ’The families so scattered are In
despair and the morale of the whole
population Is gravely affected. Boys
of fourteen, schoolboys in knicker-
bockers, young girls of fifteen to six-
ten have been curried off, and the de-
spairing protests of their parents failed
to touch the hearts of the German offi-
cers, or rather executioners.’
“One last detail: ‘The persons so
deported are allowed to write home
once u month; that Is to say, even less
often than military prisoners.’
“We do not wish here to enter Into
the question of provisioning in the in-
vaded districts; others, better quali-
fied thun ourselves, give you, ns we
know, frequent information. It is
enough for us to describe In a few
words the situation from tlds aspect:
Entire Population in Misery.
“The provisioning is very difficult;
food, apart from that supplied by the
Spanish-American committee, is very
scarce und terribly dear. . . . People
are hungry and the provisioning Is in-
adequate by at least a half; our popu-
lation Is suffering constant privations
and is growing noticeably weaker. The
death rate, too, has increased consid-
erably.
“With all confidence in the sympathy
of the government we venture to ad-
dress a new and pressing appeal to
your generous kindness und far-reach-
ing influence in the name of those who
are suffering on behalf of tlie whole
country.”
“Purls, 15th June, 1916, 3, rue Talt-

and dates. The following Is a sum-
mary of the charges made:
“That thousands of unoffending civi-
lians, including women and children,
were murdered by the Germans.
“That women had been outraged.
“That the custom of the German sol-
diers immediately on entering a town
was to break Into wineshops and the
cellars of private houses arid madden
themselves with drink.
“That pillage had been accompanied
by wanton destruction and by bestial
and sacrilegious practices." i
back the former German colonies and
the territory taken from Austria. And
let us all get together—Germany to do
her share, of course—and rebuild the
towns In France and Belgium that have
been destroyed. Let us be generous.”
May Gain Following.
If only the traitors and the pacifists
ware for such a plan we should have no
more to worry about thnn we now have
to trouble us in the activities of I. W.
W. nnd peace councils and disloyal pro-
Germun newspapers. But they may
gain an additional following among
lack-brained folk who now are not with
them.
We Americans are a sentimental peo-
ple. We like to think about punishing j
criminals, but we seldom like to punish I
them. We will not repeal our laws j
against capital punishment, but we}
hate to convict under them.
The cry that will go up from all the
German propagandists when the offer
of a status quo peace is made will be a :
loud one, and thousands of Americans (
who are loyal enough at heart, but
loose-thinking, may be attracted by it.
Germany, in that hour, may be depend-
ed upon to use every tool at her com-
mand In this country to throw up dust,
to obscure the Issue, to influence Amer-
icans toward a peace that shall leave
the world as much in peril as it wus
prior to August, 1914.
Would Be German Victory.
If they can get a great number of
people in the United States to agree
that Germany ought not to be put
where she cannot repeat her crime
against civilization, the war will have
been in vain. If the Germans are able
to cease fighting, unpunished, and go
back home to prepare for the next
war, with Mittel-Europa in their hands, I
It will have been a German victory, j
even though not such a victory as Ger-
many expected when she began the
conflict.
Nobody expects to annihilate Ger- 1
many. Nobody wants to see her annl- I
filiated. Nobody wants to crush her, j
except as a military menace. But she [
must keep the peace hereafter, and to |
make sure that she does so her power
to repeat her offense must be de-
stroy' d. And—most important of all— '
ttvr uerman people must have learned
that the militaristic policy of their war
lords does not pay.
Watch and guard against the day
when Germany offers to call it a draw. ;
It would he a black day for the world j
If America’s influence were then to be |
tnrown into the sca.e In favor of aucb
a peace.
The first test a man Is put thru for
either war or life insurance Is an exami-
nation of his water. Tills is most essen-
tial because the kidneys play a most Im-
portant part in causing premature old age
and death. The more Injurious the pois-
ons passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay—so says Dr. Pierce of Sur-
gical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., who further
advises all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid—drink plenty of water-
sweat some dally nnd take Anuric, double
strength, before meals.
This An-u-rlc Is a late discovery of Dr.
Pierce and is put up In tablet form, and
can be obtained for COc at almost any
drug store. For that backache, lumbago,
rheumatism, “rusty” Joints, swollen feet
or hands, due to uric acid in the blood,
Anuric quickly dissolves the uric acid as
hot water does sugar. Take a little An-
uric before meals and live to be a hun-
dred. Send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for trial
