CUT THE
GERIAX troops luivc faithfully oarricd out tlio kai
ser's instructions: "Aot like the Huns; it is ni.V v.i'1
that in fifty years, your passing through may be remem
bered with terror."
Yes and for a thousand years the very name of Gor
man will bo cursed as a synonym of tho devil. Ono has
only to think of tho Gorman horror in Belgium and ErniKo
to stool himself against compassion or mercy for tho boast
of brutality.
Tho llulnoii proclamation issued on July 20, 1915,
shows how t he Germans treated tho civilian population of
con(uorod territory:
All workmen, and women and children of 1.1 years and upwards, must
work In the fluids dully, Sundays Included, from 4 a. in. till 8 p. m.
(I'Yench time), A breulc Is allowed of half an hour In the morning, ono
hour ut midday, and half nn hour In the afternoon, .
Any break of these regulations will be punished as follows:
(1) .Men rerusiiiK to work will during tiie harvest be formed Into
labor companies and detained In barracks under the supervision of per
mun corporals.
After tho harvest thoso rofuslng to work will bo sent to prison for six
months; on the third day the rations will lie simply bread and wuter.
(2) Women unwilling to work will be exiled to Holnon to labor.
After the harvest these women will be imprisoned for six months.
CO Children refusing to work will be flogged.
The commandant will, further, at his discretion order the punishment
of refractory workmen with a flogging of 20 strokes dully.
The workmen of the purish of Veudelles are now undergoing sevcro
punishment.
The reason Americans, Canadians and Australians
fight so savagely against the Jf tin is because they are con
stantly running across instances of Gorman atrocity that
harden their hearts against the perpetrators. Loft to tho
army, there will be no peace negotiation's with the kaiser
peace will be dictated by the allied forces at Berlin ai'tci
Germany has taken some of her own medicine.
Tlu? allies will not, of course, descend to the love! of
the boast, they will not ravish ilw. women, enslave the peo
ple and desecrate the dead, but they can and should de
vastate the country, bomb their towns, ransom their cities
and leave tho invaded regions a wilderness. Jt is the only
sort of treatment the Hun is capable of comprehending.
Let us hope that when the armies cross the Rhino, tho
cables are cut and the politician.-; at home cannot interfere
to recall the victorious troops and start a peace by negoti
ations with a people to whom agreements and promises
are only scraps of paper to be torn up at will. Lot the
men who are doing the fighting make peace, when they are
good and ready, and the baby killers have paid the full' penalty.
SEDITIOUS
"pJIE past few days have witnessed several riots by tho
A fanatical suffragists tit the White House gates, aimed
at the president because the senate has not passed tlio suf
frago amendment.
This is the gratitude that the notoriety seeking female
war slackers comprising the little band styling themselves
the "National Woman's Party," show for the president's
espousal of their cause. The president has advocated the
passage of the amendment, going so far as to write person
al letters to opposing senators urging their support. Suf
frage loaders in the somite are convinced that he has used
his influence to the limit and that he cannot do more
without alienating and offending those on whom he relies
for support in critical moments.
But the National Woman's Tarty in a circular letter
declare that their demonstrations are not aimed to win
votes in the senate, but at the president and are tanta
mount to a vote of lack of confidence at a time when
the president is overburdened with the conduct of the war
and shaping the policies of tho democracies of ihe world.
If these fanatics are not on the kaiser's payroll they
ought to be, for they are doing their utmost to create dis
cord ami diversion at a time when unity is essential. They
certainly act as if they wore under I'ernstorff's propa
ganda instructions when they wantonly insult tho presi
dent of t lie I'nited States who has done more for their
cause than any other president, overdid.
The activities of tho seditious Sallies, with their scur
rilous attacks upon Ihe president and prominent seiuitoi-s
can only further delay the passage of the suffrage amend
ment. Suffrage is not essential to winning the war and
the senate will probably lot it wait. If it acts, it will bo in
spit o of, and not because of the disloyal demonstrations of
tlieso faddists, who disgust the sincere suffragists and
whose tactics have never yet accomplished anything for
the cause in which they are perpetrated.

er conditions here and In Kiance are
so nearly similar that this camp Is

Tor a test of the new shoe. The
plate of steel was said by the officers
to run tho entire length of the sole,
making an arch support below the
Instep. They will be partially cov
ered with leather on, tho outsldo, It
was said, to give a gripping surface
and also will be hob nailed. Steel
rims around the heels of the trench
shoes have been used for more' than
a year but these are the first shoes
which will have steel soles.

Tho Increased rates uro declared te

LONDON, An-. 17. One of the
most significant features of 1 hi
aerial bombiiiy; offensive of the Brit
ish is the loud response it has elic
ited from the German people, say
British newspapers.
The bombing of Kn.uiund brought
no complaint, but only renewed reso
lution l'roin the British people; yet
Germany, Mifferin from the first
preliminary pangs of the British at
tacks, at (nice began to cry out
against it, and protest upon protest
is pouring into the German authori
ties from the ponuiace uf the differ
ent areas attacked.
This means that the British bomb
ing offensive is effective, that far
reaching destruction has been enus
ed to railway junctions and factories,
and that the German claim that the
British raids have accomplished noth
ing serious have been untrue.
Details of the damage caused hv
the British raids can easily be sup
pressed by the German censorship,
but the voice of the Gemnn people
eannot permanently be stifled, and
it is as-crted there is abundant pho
tographic and captured documentary
evidence thai their fears are based
ii pirn real execution done.

STEEL BUSINESS
FAIR INSTANCE OF
MR PROFITEERING
(By Gilson Gardner).
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. The
war profit situation Is best Illustrat
ed by the figures just made public by
,i, i;nited States Steel company cov
ering their qunrtorly bUBlnesB.. It
nnno.-irs from these that tbe Bteei
trust In three months made approx
imately 153 million dollars. Of this
sum 91 million has been sot aside
to pay taxes. This leaves C2 millions
to divide as dividends.
Tho iion::al beforo-the-war proilta
f tho stenl trust for the same period
would have been about 15 million
dollars, in their best years tney
..ever were higher. The war liae
added 13S millions to their profits:
and this under government price ru
ing for steel.
If the government had taken SO
per cent of war profits the Steel trust
would still be loft with 33 millions:
tho other 120 millions going into the
treasury. Even a profit of 33 mil
lions would be more than double the
normal business profit. So investors
in steel stock could hardly be heard
to complain that they were being
harshly dealt with.
The story of the United States
Steel is practically the story of every
one of tbe .-,0,000 corporations which
will figure in the treasury depart
ment's reports to the ways and mean
committee. Their stockholders have
been getting rich at a rate which they
never dreamed was possible in their
wildest and most Imaginative mo
ments; but those riches are the result
cf profiteering involving profiteer
ing in many cases since many of the
corporations are working under priee
fixation by tho government hut pro
fiteering none the less.
