Little bits of sugar, Little grains of wheat, Give the fighting soldier Energy and heat. Cheer up! There are plenty of thrift stamps left. Autos should be exceptionally cautious at railway crossing on "meatless" days. Don't spare the corn because it costs a little more. What's a few dollars compared to the welfare of our soldiers' in France? Now that Secretary Baker has been forced to make public our war forces in Europe, the kaiser is enabled to change his plans ac cordingly. . Did it ever occur to you when you are trying to get ahead a bit j financially, that it isn't so muchf what you earn that counts its what you save. The wise man knows much and says little Senator Borah for .in stance. The fool just keeps cn spilling the beans like a certain senator from Oregon. The two-bits you spend for a savings thrift stamp sticks to you just as long as the stamp sticks to the thrift card upon which you stick it. And still the two-bits goes on doing its bit for Uncle Sam and the boys "over there." The Secretary of the Treasury has issued a statement cautioning investors of Liberty Loan Bonds against exchanging for unknown securities the bonds which they may have purchased, and advis ing permanent holding of Liberty Bonds.

HIGH OFFICERS GO ON RECORD No Possible Evasion of Responsibility for Bestial Acts Which for Centu ries Have Had No Parallel Officially Indorsed. The people of the United States are beginning to learn the truth con cerning the conduct of the war by Germany. Proof in offered that Ger man officials deliberately lied in their statements concerning atroci ties committed by the Belgians and allies. 'That their own soldiers were disgusted by the cruelties practiced at the order of high officers of the kaiser is shown. Extracts taken from pamphlets issued follow: Tho Vorwnerts of Berlin, October 2'.', 1914. said: "We have already born nolo to es tablish tho falseness of a great number of assertions which have been iniule with great precision and published everywhere In the press, concerning al leged cruelties committed, by the popu lations of Hie countries with which Germany Is at war, upon German sol diers and civilians. We are now In po sition to silence two others of tlie.se fantastic stories. "The war correspondent of the Her liner Tageblatt spoke a few week ago of cigars and cigarettes lllled with powder alleged to havo been given out or sold to our soldiers with diabolical Intent. He even pretended that he hud seen with his own eyes hundreds of tills kind of clgiireltes. We learn from an authentic source that this story of cigars and cigarettes Is nothing but a brazen invention. Stories of Holdlers whose eyes are alleged to havo been torn out by frnncH-tlreurs are circulat ed throughout' Germany.'- Not a Blngle ense of this kind has been ofllclully es tablished'. K "It matters little that reports of this nature bear ah' uppearnnce'of positive certitude, or(ore oven vouched for by eye-wltnesBei.' The desire for notoriety, the absence of criticism, and personal error play an unfortiinuto port in tho days In which we are living. Every nose shot off or simply bound up, every eye removed, Is Immediately transformed Into a noso or eyo torn 'rrway by the francs-tlreurs.'Alrcady tbei Volkszeltunnpf Cologne haw bee,n able contrary to tno Very categorical nauor Hour from Alx-ln-ninpello. to prove t lint thrro wns no subtler with tits eyes torn out In tho Hold ambulance of thin I town. It was said, also, that people wounded In tills way were under treat ment In the neighborhood of tterl)n, hut whenever Ititltitrles have been iniido In regard to these reports, their abso lute falsity lias been demonstrated. At length these reports were concentrated lit (Iross lilchterfetde. A newspaper published at noon mid widely circu lated lu Merlin printed it few days ago In large typo the news that at the Lazaretto of t.lchterfelde iilouo there were 'ten German .soldiers, only slight ly wounded, whose eyes hud been wick edly torn out.' Hut to a request for Information by Comrade I.lebknecht tho following written reply was sent by the chief inedlnil otlleer of tho nbove-inentloned Held hospital, dated the eighteenth of the month : '"Sir: Happily there Is no truth whatever In these stories. 'Yours obediently. 'IMIOFHSSOU UAl'THNHHItO,' " German Soldiers Protested. Thus the teachings of the German War Hook and of the German apostles of frlghtfulness, suspicion and hatred, had now begun to hear their iatiiral fruit. Hut tho voice of protest was not entirely llcnt. A considerable number of letters by German .soldiers who were shocked by the Gorman atrocities were sent to Ambassador Gerard, because he was the representa tive of the Called States, tho leading neutral nation. The three letters which follow, lu translation, were re ceived by the American ambassador from German soldiers. Here Is the protest of a German sol dier, an eye-witness of tho slaughter of ItusMnn soldiers In the Masurian lakes and swamps : "It was frightful, heart-rending, as :hese masses of human beings were driven to destruction? Above the ter rible thiunbr of the cannon could In' heard the heart-rending cries, of the Hits-Inns: 'O I'ru-e-l.'.ns : O L'rus-.Innsr but there was no mercy. Our captain hail ordered: 'The whole lot must die; K,i rapid lire.' As 1 have heard, live taeii ami one officer "ti our blc went nail from these heari-n-mling etles.

"If yoti are a truth-loving mai. .lease rceehe these lines from a com mm Prussian soldier." Following is the testimony of anolhei German soldier on the eastern front: "Itusslnu Poland, December 18, Ml. "In the name of Christianity I semi you these words, "Wounded Itiuslaiis are killed with the bayonet according to orders. "And Itusslans who have surrender ed are often shot down In masses ac coidlng to orders, in spite of their heart-rending prayers. "In the hope that you,' as the repre sentative of a Christian state, will protest against this, I sign myself, "A GKH.MA.V KOI.PIF.H AND CUIUS- TIAN." The third letter, from the western front, shows the same honor of the system of uhich the writer was a wit ness. "To the American Government, Washington, U. 8. A. "Kngllshmen who have surrendered are shot down In small groups. With the French one Is more considerate. I ask whether men let themselves bo taken prisoner hi order to be dis armed and shot dow'ii afterward? Is that chivalry In battle? It Is lio longer n secret nmong the people; one hears everywhere that few prisoners aro taken; they are shot down In small groups. They say naively: 'We don't want any unnecessary mouths to feed. Where there Is no one to enter com plaint, there Is no Judge. Is there then no power In tho world which can put nn end to these murders nnd res cue tho victims? Where Is Chris tianity?
