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.
Ben W. Olcott, present Secre
tary of State, ha3 announced his
candidacy for nomination for gov
ernor on the republican ticket at
the primary election, May 17th.
Among other things mentioned
in his announcement, he says:
'As the proper performance of
my duties as secretary of slate
ireouires my undivided personal
vatte.ntion,,. I imalUpejuI no time
campaigning over the state.

GERMANS EXCUSE

Murder, Pillage and Arson Pari
of Deliberate Scheme of
Warfare.
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.
Itut mot of my comrii'l s uii'l I hi otll
ers Joked ns the unarmed and helplesv
Itusslans shilcked fr imrey whlh
-hey were being MiiT.iented In the
-.wnmps and shot down. The order
.wis: 'Close up'ntAl at It harder !' For
days afterwards those heart-reudlnc
veils followed me and I dare not think
if them or I shall K" mad. There Is no
God, there Is no morality and no ethic
mv more. There lire no human being
my more, but only beasts. Down with
uliitnrlsm.
"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? Whord Is right? Might Is
right.
