CONTRASTS SHARP
RUSSIAN
BORDER
Even Ruin in Wake of Raid
Into East Prussia Does Not
Disguise Difference.
PEOPLE, TOO, ARE CHANGED
German Peasants Self-Respecting,
Neighbors Across Line Servile.
Desperate Xature of Com
bat Plainly Shown,
LTCK, East Prussia. April 10. (Cor
respondence of the Associated Press.)
The devastation and destruction that
have been visited upon all of Eastern
East Prussia cannot be more strik
ingly appreciated than by a trip from
this little town to Crajevo, a few miles
across the- border.
The trip supplies a remarkable series
of contrasts that are fundamental and
iar-reachins. Black Is no more llko
white than this part of Germany is
like far Western Russia from the
standpoint of population, customs and
the general appearance of the country.
From Lyck to the border every home,
without exception It Is said, has been
rifled and partly or entirely torn down.
The broad, well-paved road Is prac
tically lined with the remnants of
substantial buildings that in some
cases, particularly in the border town
of Prosiken, were once attractive.
Sharp Contrast Instantly vSten,
Along the road, as along virtually
every road of Its kind in Germany, are
shade trees except where they have
been cut down to allow of artl'lery
fire. They are so universal that ne
Rets used to them quite unconsciously,
and immediately feels the lack when
' they disappear.
The peasants, largely of the Polish
type, appear to be self-respecting and
pleasant. They greet the casual pass-
erby much as the farmer in America
ays "How do you do?" to the stranger
along the road, but with the same
tinge of equality in the greeting.
The once pleasant and prosperous
country-side from Lyck to the border
has been turned Into a desert waste.
In village after village there stand
only the firm, substantial chimneys
that even fire will not level to the
ground. Almost without exception the
remnants of the houses are of brick.
Then one comes to the line and al
most in the time it takes to close one's
eyes and open them again the scene
changes so materially that one might
be a hundred miles away.
People and IlonMes Chann-ed,
First of all. the devastation has
ceased. Not a house has been leveled
and not a building damaged. In their
character the houses proclaim the
marked contrast. The. brick has given
way to thatched huts, low, one-atory
sUTftirs thut fairly reek with filth and
sriine.
In the doorways stood, as an Asso
clntod Pre.JS correspondent made the
trip recently, smirking, groveling peas
ants, who bowed almost to the ground
fti'aia and again, as- long as the auto
mobile was in eight. They showed the
aaiiio servility to the military every
where in command of the situation, and
were Quite oblivious of the scornful re
ception of their abject salutations.
As quickly as the character of the
huucen had changed, so had the trees
vanished, and for thousands of yards
stretched a bare, black road over which
the automobiles made their way with
difficulty.
Lyck, Maggrabova, and other little
towns on the German side of the border
but ' near the Russian line, had left
much to be desired In the way of
cleanliness and general attractiveness,
but as compared to Orajevo, when It
finally was reached, they were models
of beauty and sanitation.
Only Hovels Line Market Place.
The nearest approach to similarity
was the inevitable market square, al
most as big in size as all the rest of
the town together. In place of the
familiar brick buildings, often of hand
some construction, there lined the mar
ket nothing more pretentious than dirty
hovels.
The desperateness with which' the
Russians have combated the Germans
for every foot of the territory was
plainly evident In rows upon rows of
trenches, always when possible built
at the top of rising ground, covered
over with evergreen or other branches
and made with cunningly-constructed
loopholes. Barely one saw a trench
facing the other way one thatx the
Germans had had time to build hastily
in the night. For the most part the
advance had been possible only by
storming each separate height and by
driving the Russians out of their
strongholds.
NOTED THIEVES SENTENCED
Charles "Williams and Annie Fergu
son Jailed In Ivondon. -
LONDON. April 30. Charles "Will
iams, described by the authorities, of
Scotland Yard as "one of the most dan
gerous men in America." and Annie
Ferguson, who is supposed to be the
vife of a nortorlous bank thief named
'.Treason, were recently sentenced in
the old Bailey Police Court to impris
onment for 12 and 10 years, respective
ly, for robbing a London Jeweler of
gems worth 1600 ($8000).

have evidence that Williams was sen
tenced in Illinois in 1871 to five years'
imprisonment for larceny; subsequently
he served a three-yeai sentence for
breaking into the postoffice at Spring
field. 111., and later he broke out of
Jail in New York.
The police declare that Annie Fergu
son, known in her earlier days as
Annie Grant, was one of the most suc
cessful American thieves in London.

KURDS TAKE SLAVES
Assyrian Inhabitants Carried
Away Into Bondage.
RUSSIAN RETURN AWAITED
Smiling Gardens on Shores of Lake
Urumiah Deserted American at
Presbyterian Mission Gives
Protection to 1 7,000.
TIFLIS, Transcaucasia, March 27.
r-nri-e.5nnnden.ee of the Associated
Press.) Many thousands of the Assy
rian inhabitants of the country west
of Lake Urumiah have had to flee be
th. xnminir of the raiding Kurds.
Some 45,000 or 50,000 of these people
a few months ago occupied me summs
gardens on the lake shores. Now 12,
000 are refugees in Russia and some
17,000 took refuge under the protec
tion of Dr. Harry P. racKaro, oi me
American Presbyterian mission at
Urumiah.
His successful efforts In their be
half already have been told by cable.
His name will survive in Assyrian
traditions.
The members of the central com
mittee or the Assyrian or imwciuL
Christians are awaiting only one thing,
the return of the Russians, to endeavor
to reconstruct into a safe community
this remnant of the ancient empire
of Nineveh. The committeemen fled
with their families. They can only
hope today that some of their rela
tives will be returned to them from
Kurdish enslavement. Those who did
not escape or were not made Blaves
perished.
Merchants Onee Prosperous.
The committeemen speak English
fluently and were at one time pros
perous merchants. This was before
their little tribe was gripped by the
cogs of the great war.
Until American missions were es
tablished In the Urumiah country, the
Assyrians maintained their religious
traditions by semi-annual reading from
half a dozen cherished parchment new
testaments, taking the additional pre
caution of requiring the more gifted
youth to memorize the whole of their
sacred literature.
With mission schools and hospitals,
enlightenment and prosperity increased.
The Assyrian villages were as famous
for neatness and comfort as their gar
dens were for fertility. Further en
couragement and protection were
brought by the Russians, who came
into the country about nine years ago.
Assyrians Take Russian Sides.
The Assyrians took sides with th.
Russians in the war. while the Moham.
medans turned to the Turks and Ger
many. Organized and drilled by Rus
sian officers, the Assyrians rendered
valuable services by fortifying some of
their villages and guarding the caravan
roads to Urumiah. About. 250 were
regularly enlisted, the central commit
tee supply the funds. Later 2000 or
3000 volunteers were under arms and
had some training. Toward the end
of December the Russians and Assy
rians defeated a large body of Kurds,
inflicting a loss estimated at 600.
Fleeing before Impending 'massacre
3000 of the Assyrians gathered at a
strong village. Geogtapa, and held
their ground five days with a loss
of 70 men.
SPY 'EXPOSE' SUPPRESSED
War Ofrico Puts Ban on "Britain's
Deadly Peril," by te Qaez.
LONDON. April 16. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) At the order
of the Wt Office, the censor has put
hl ban on "Britain's Deadly Peril," a
book by William Le Quex, purporting
to expose the spy danger in Great
Britain. Thousands of copies which
had been distributed among dealers are
held up and the publisher Is enjoined
from printing any more copies. This
is done through the defense of the
realm act.
Le Quex told in his advance notices
of alleged personal experiences to sup
port his theory that the islands are
honeycombed by German spies. In one
case he tells of seeing a mysterious
light in a lonely house on the east
coast of England, where a German
lived. He writes that he rigged up a
flash light some distance away and,
employing it one night when a light
appeared in the German house, received
in- reply what was obviously a. code
message. He then complains that he
took this information to the War Office,
which merely sent a printed acknowl
edgement and did nothing in the way of
investigation.
It is known that the censorship has
cautioned newspapers against publeh
ing articles likely to inflame the Ger
mans and cause retaliatory measures
against Kngllsh interned In Germany.
Furthermore, there are many natural
ized Germans In England who are
trusted by the authorities. The as
sumption is therefore made that Le
Quex' book is suppressed in accordance
with, this policy.
SPY SYSTEM REVEALED
SCOTLAND YARD USES NAME OF
PRISONER TO OBTAIN SECRETS.
Paper ITsed' for Invisible Ink Pound in
Knepferle's Baggage, Employed
In Letters to Germans.
LONDON. April 14 'Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) Anton
Kuepferle, the American citizen of
German birth who is held for trial on a
charge of supplying Germany with in
formation concerning the movements
of English troops and ships, is said to
have been the means of affording Eng
lish detectives much inside information
concerning the workings of the Ger
man spy system with headquarters in
Holland.
Kuepferle's arrest was kept a secret
nearly two months. Meantime it is re
ported that Scotland Yard men were
using the prisoner's name as a means
of communicating with German offi
cials in Holland. In Kuepferle's bag
gage sheets of paper used for invisible
ink were found. Imitating Kuepferle's
handwriting, the detectives are said to
have written letters to German spy
chiefs, between the lines of which they
traced In invisible ink all sorts of
questions asking further Instructions.
A rapid-fire correspondence is reported
to have continued until Kuepferle had
actually been in jail many weeks.
The prisoner is charged with having
visited many English and Irish ports
for the purpose of investigating ship
ping and reporting to Germany con
cerning the movements of transports.
Dublin, Liverpool and Belfast are said
to be centers where he was active. He
is also reported to have traveled into
other parts of England, using London
as his headquarters.
His capture took place the day fol
lowing the declaration of the German
submarine blockade, February 18. He
was endeavoring to make the trip from
England to Holland when taken into
custody.

CRIMINALS RENEW
ACTIVITY IN -PARIS
Apaches Again Begin to Profit
by War's Opportunity to
Reap Harvest.'
SHIRKERS ARE NUMEROUS
France Again Considers Sequestra
tion of Money of Enemy Aliens
Deposited in Banks for In
vestment in Bonds.
BT CAROLYN WILSON.
(Copyright. 1915. by the Chtcaso Tribune.
PublUhcd by arrangement.)
PARIS, April 10. As long .as the
dally papers were only one sheet, and
It was 'with difficulty that one com
pressed the news of the day into those
two pages, you would have thought
that Paris vhad turned into a model,
spotless reform town. There was never
a whisper of a robbery, a murder, an
assault, nothing about street rows or
quarrels, for the simple reason that
there was no space to print the police
court news in.'
Now that the papers have come back
to their former slse and that the censor
is so industriously busy regulating
what may not be printed about the
war, crime again fills the pages, and
anyone attending the sessions notices
what a large percentage of the crim
inals are Apaches, who are profiting
by the war to give free vent to their
bad instincts.
Napoleon System Recalled.
If you go up Montmartre way you
notice scores of these fellows on the
sidewalks, and they are all between
18 and 40. The question naturally
arises, why aren't they at the war?
Why is it that when honest men fight
rogues should remain at home?
Napoleon had a simple system for
insuring order. Whenever any young
fellows were arrested for making a
racket in the streets, the cafes, or the
theaters, they were enrolled imme
diately in the army.
Of course, many of these Apaches
are excused on physical defects, but
the consells de revision could be par
ticularly lenient with these infirmities,
and doubtless the discipline of the
front would inspire them with such
healthy ideas that those who came
back would not make as much dis
turbance as usual.
There is still the continued discus
sion of "embusques" or shirkers. There
probably will be until the end of the
war. As long as men are dying, as
long as women are losing their hus
bands and their sons while other men
sit safe in Paris, there Is bound to be
bitter complaining, sometimes unrea
sonable. For a certain amount of men must
run the business side of the war, and,
although their work seems pleasant
and not too arduous, even to them
selves, nevertheless it is necessary In
the scheme of things.
Clemenceau has abandoned his ex
hortations to Holland to enter the fray
for nearly a week now and has devoted
two columns each morning to this great
problem of favoritism.
Sequestration of Funds Debated.
Another hotly debated subject Is
whether the state has the right to go
into banks and demand the money de
posited there by German and Austrian
subjects prior to the war. Already
from the system of sequestration
which the government has been un
dertaking since November it is esti
mated that the state has reaped the
neat little harvest of a milliard francs,
or $200,000,000.
If it takes over the right to ex
amine the books of the banks through
out France for deposits by enemies It
is thought that another milliard and
a half could be used to buy bonds of
the national defense.
Over here one of the fads of life
is collecting stamps which particular
ly have to do with the war. Several
of the countries have new Issues par
ticularly for the war. others have spe
cial stamps, such as the Red Cross
stamp here In France, which is the
ordinary 10 centime stamp for which
one pays 15 centimes; the profits,
which have already amounted to 60,
000 francs, go to the Red Cross.
Then there is the King Albert Issue,
which is used on French soil from the
headquarters at Havre, and the new
Duchess of Luxembourg issue.
But perhaps the most interesting
are those indicating annexation or sov
ereignty. I have three of the German
stamps with the black sign across
them. "Belgien." And, beter yet, I was
most awfully lucky In getting nearly
a hundred which were taken from the
German postoffice in Togoland and
have been stamped across, "Togo,
Anglo-French occupation."
People Collecting Odd Coins.
The man who helped loot the post
offices I use the word "loot" only be
cause he did, with much glee -had just
come back from there, and told me all
about the attack, in which there were
ten Englishmen, 300 Germans, and na
tive troops from both sides. Unfor
tunately the native troops, both ran
away In great quantities, and the ter
Englishmen prevailed evidently
through force of argument.
Along with stamps, people are col
lecting odd coins coins which one
thought had long disappeared. But
they had only sunk way down in the
family stocking of France and Belgium
both of which countries have a pas
sion for tucking away gold and species
in a handy and comfortingly near hid
ing place.
An American who had Just come
from the bank jumped Into an auto
and went out to view the battlefield
of the Marne. He forgot to change his
large bills, and w-hen he wished to pur
chase a battlefield souvenir from a
peasant who had returned to his nearly
destroyed home he had nothing but a
thousand franc note.
"O. I can change it for you. mon
sieur," said the man simply, and with
drew' to an inner room, whence he
emerged with a handful of bills and
quite a little gold.
One of the odd pieces almost extinct
that now circulates - about Paris is
the little 20 centime piece of sliver. It
has not been seed around Paris for
years, and it is the Belgians who have
brought It with them, although there,
too, it has not been generally in use
for several years.
Refugee's Loss Pitiful.
I suppose some of the poor people
who fled in such a hurry had been col
lecting their little store of money dec
ades. I remember such a pitiful more,
such a- horrible experience I had when
I was going to Marseilles in the Fall.
The train was filled with refugees, who
had but just come In from the north,
and were being packed off as quickly
to the hospitable south.
There was a man perhaps 60 with
his daughter, a settled, sensible woman
of 30. whose husband was fighting in
the Belgian army. They had come from
Tongres, fleeing by night, hiding by
day, bringing with them only two email
valises with clothes and one with
money.
And when we had left Paris only
about an hour it was discovered that
the little bag which held the money
and was supposed to be in one of the
larger valises had been left in the train
from which they had changed.
I have never seen such absolute de
spair in my life as was on that man's
face. He was too old to earn any more.
It was the desult of saving for years.
The 6000 francs It was about 20 francs
short of that sum. his daughter said
would have given them courage to wait
until the end of the war.
Man Goes Mad on ot.
There before our yes that man went
slowly mad. AVe did everything we
could. We telegraphed back to Paris,
also to the destination of the first train
in which they had been and in which
they had undoubtedly left the little
bag.
All the while the man sat with Ms
little bit of baggage heaped on his
knees, mumbling to himself, crying out
at the injustice of it, striking himself
on the breast and asking God to for
give him for thus reducing his daughter
to a beggar.
She must needs tell him calmly that
it was all right, that they would cer
tainly find it, that he was not to worry,
that she could find work for both of
them, and all the while the tears stood
in her eyes and a line of worry that all
her will power could not smooth out.
wrinkled her forehead; for before many
weeks were out she expected a child,
and there would be one more to pro
vide for. '
I shall never forget the increasing
terror and madness in that man's eyes,
nor his unseeing gaze, nor his unlisten
ing air We never saw them again.
