TOLD ABOUT THE HUNS Must Realize They Are Fight ing An Enemy Devoid of Mercy or Humanity i Washington, Dec. 26 The idea that America is making war on the German government, not on the German peoplo is gradually being displaced among the country's fighting men today. The American soldier, at home and abroad, is being warned of the treach ery and tho brutality practiced by tho German soldier, coming as he does from the mass of the German people. Through bulletins and lectures, the stories of German atrocities are being made known to the men in both American and European camps. A formal bulletin toll ing of an American whose throat was cut after he had been taken prisoner by the Germans in a trench raid, is an cxamplo of this. .United Press dispatches from the Am erican headquarters in France, immed iately following the raid on the trench in which three Americans were killed and several captured, told of one of the men being found with his throat cut. But this story and others of a sim iliar nature are now being called to the attention of the men who will soon be meeting the Germans in battle. In line with the education of the American soldier as to the purposes and causes of the war, one Camp Leo offi cer has requested that the government furnish him with a quantity of litera ture, telling of tho battlo practices of the Germans to incorporate in his lec tures. It is said that among some of the mountain men under his charge there was a surprising lack of knowledge of the war causes and aims.

The committee unanimously adopted a resolution demanding Baker give camp commanders authority to buy woolen blouses and overcoats in the nearest town, if they can get them quicker that way than the- quarter master's department can supply them. This action followed presentation by Senator McKellar of telegrams from Camp commanders showing shortage of overcoats and woolen blouses. Baker was requested to take im mediate action with regard to Camps Wheeler, Shelby, Kearney, Dix, Jack son, Grant, Custer, Beauregnard and Bowie, because the committee said it had unquestioned proof that many men in these are without blouses and overcoats- On the ground that there may be shortage at Camp Dodge, Doniphan, Funston, Wadsworth, Fremont, Sheridan Greene and Pike and other camps, Baker was reqeusted to learn by wire today whether such shortages exist and take immediate action to supply them. McKeller presented telegrams from commanders of practically every canton ment showing need of 20,048 overcoats and 4fi,694 blouses. Camps fully equipped, according to McKellar's information are: Hancock, Devens, McArthur, Lee and those at Houston, Texas and Hempstead, N.
