SOLEMN PLEDGE MERE WORDS
Kaiser's ?atesmen Had No Intention
of Keeping Fnlth With Their
Agreement on international Law
Horrors Told by Diaries.
In giving to the American people
the knowledge of German inhuman
ily in Belgium, says a pamphlet is
sued by the committee on public in
formation, the evidence is drawn
mainly from German and American
sources. The German sources in
clude official proclamations and
other official utterances, letters and
diaries of German soldiers, and quo
tations from German newspapers
The "Rules for Field Service" of the
German army advises each soldier
to Icccp such a diary while on active
service.
In the wars waged in nnclcnt times
tt was taken for granted that con
quered peoples might be either killed,
tortured, or held as slaves; that their
property would bo taken and that their
lands would be devastated. "Vac vlc
tis 1 woe to the conquered 1" For two
centuries or more there has been n
steady advance In introducing ideas of
humanity' and especially In confining
the evils of warfare to the combatnnts.
The Ideal seemed to have become so
thoroughly established as a part of In
ternational law that the powers at The
Hague thought It sufficient merely to
state the general principles in Article
XLVI of the regulations : "Family hon
ors and rights, the lives of persons
and private property, as well as re
ligious convictions and practice, must
be respected. Private property cannot
be confiscated." Germany, In common
with the other powers, solemnly
pledged her fnlth to keep this article,
but her mllltnry leaders had no inten
tion of doing so. They had been
trained In the Idens voiced by Gen. von
Uartmann 40 years ago: "Terrorism
Is seen to be a relatively gi. title pro
cedure, useful to keep the masr.es of
the people In a state of obedience."
This had been Blsmnrck's policy, too.
According to Morltz Buscli, Blsninrk's
biographer, Bismarck, exasperated by
the French resistance, which was still
continuing In January, 1871, satd :
"If In the territory which we occupy,
we cannot supply everything for our
troops, from time to time we shall send
ii Hying column Into the localities
which are recalcitrant. We snail shoot,
hang and burn. After that has hap
pened a few times, the Inhabitants will
finally come to their senses."
Horrors Told In Soldiers' Diaries.
The frightfulness taught by the Ger
man leaders held full sway lu Belgium.
Tills is best seen In the entries In the
diaries of the individual German sol
diers. "During the night of August 15-10
Engineer Gr gave the alarm In the
tow n of Vise. Every one was shot or
token prisoner, and the houses wore
burnt. The prisoners were made to
march and keep up with the troops."
(From the diary of noncommissioned
ofllccr Relnhold Koehn of the Second
battalion of engineers, Third army
corps.)
"A horrible bath of hlood. The whole
village burnt, the Frenrh thrown Into
tne blazing houses, civilians with the
rest." (From the diary of1 Private
Ilassemer of the Eighth army corps.)
"In tho night of August 18-lft the vll
lage of Snint-Mnurlce was punished
for having fired on Germnn soldiers by
being burnt to the ground by the Gor
man troops (two regiments, the
Twelfth landwehr and the Seven
teenth.) The village was surrounded,
men posted about a yard from one an
other, so thnt no one could get out
Then the Uhlans set fire to It. house
hv bouse. Neither man, woman, nor
child could escape; on'y the grenter
part of the live stock we carried off,
as that could be used. Anyone who
ventured to come out wns shot down
All the Inhabitants left In the village
were burnt with the houses." (From
the diary of Private Karl Schenfele of
the Third Bavarian regiment and land
wehr Infantry.)
"At ten o'clock In tho evening the
first battalion of the One hundred nml
Seventy-eighth marched down the steep
incline into the burning village to the
burning villnge to the north of Dlnant.
A terrific spectacle of ghastly beauty.
At the entrance to the village lay about
fifty dead civilians, shot for 'having
fired upon our troops from nnibush., In
tho course of the night mnny others
were also shot, so that we counted over
200. Women and children, lamp In
hand, were forced to look on at the
horrible scene. We ate our rice- later
In the midst of the corpses, for we had
had nothing tlnee morning. When we
searched the houses we found plenty
of wine and spirit, but no eatables.
Captain Ilaiunnn was drunk," (This
Inst phrase In shorthand.) (From the
diary of Private I'hiilpp of the One

of infnntry, Twelfth army corps.)

Even Soldiers Horrified.
Some Germnn soldiers, we are glad
to see, showed their horror at the foul
deedi committed In Belgium.
"The Inhabitants have tied In the vil
lnge. It was horrible. There was clof.
ted blood on all the b Minis, and wh.it
faces one saw, terrible to behold I "i lie
dend, 150 In all, were at once burled.

The altar and the vaults of the church

This morning, September 2, all the sm

little boys carrying a cradle, with a
baby five or six months old In It, on
two sticks. All this wns terrible to
see. Shot after shot I Thunderbolt
after thunderbolt t Everything Is given
over to pillage; fowls and the rest all
killed. I saw a mother, foo, with hei
two children; one had a great wound
on the head and had lost an eye."
(From the dlnry of Lance Corporal
Paul Splelman of the Ersatz, first bri
gade of Infantry of the Guard.)
" ... In the night the Inhabitants
of Liege becomo mutinous. Forty per
sons were shot and 15 houses demol
ished, 10 soldiers shot. The sights here
make you cry.
"On the 2Urd of August everything
quiet. The Inhabitants have so far
given in. Seventy students were shot.
200 kept prisoners. Inhabitants re

"August 24. At noon with 30 men on
sentry duty. Sentry duty Is A 1, no post

from bathing. Is eating and drinking.
We live like God In Belgium." (From
the diary of Job. van tier Sclioot, re
servist of the Tenth company, Thirty
ninth reserve Infantry regiment, Sev
enth reserve army corps.)
"Behaved Like Vandals."
"August 17. In the afternoon I had
a look at the little chateau belonging
to one of the king's secretaries (not at
home). Our men had behaved like
regular vandals. They had looted the
cellar first, and then they had turned
their attention to the bedrooms and
thrown things about all over the place.
They had even made fruitless efforts
to smash the safe open. Everything
was topsy-turvy magnificent furni
ture, silk, and even china. That's what
happens when the men ure allowed to
requisition for themselves. I am sure
they must have taken away a heap of
useless stuff simply for the pleasure of
looting."
"August 0th crossed frontier. Inhab
itants on border very good to us and
give us many things. There Is no dif
ference noticeable.
"August 23rd, Sundny (between BIr
mil and Dlnant, village of Dlsonge).
At 11 o'cb'uk the order comes to ifd

u i prepared the ground ahead. The
Pioneers and Infantry regiment 178
were marching In front of us. Near
a small village the latter were fired on
by the Inhabitants. About 220 inhab

burnt artillery Is continuously shoot

.lust now, six o'clock in the afternoon,
the crossing of the Minis begins near
Dlnant ... All villages, chateaux,
and houses are burnt down during this
night. It was a beautiful sight to see
the fires all round us In the distance.
"August 24. In every village one
finds only heaps of ruins and many
dead." From the diary of Matbern,
Fourth company, Eleventh Juger but
tallon, Marburg.)
Alt Male Inhabitants Shot
"A shell burst near the Eleventh
company, and wounded seven men,
three very severely At five o'clock wo
were ordered iiy tho officer in coin,
mnnd of the regiment to shoot nil the
male Inhabitants of Nomeny, because
the population was foolishly attempt
ing to stay the advance of the German
troops by force of arms. We broke Into
the houses, aud seized all who resisted,
In order to execute them according to
martial law. The houses which had
not been already destroyed by the
French artillery and our own were set
on fire by us, so that nearly the whole
town was reduced to ashes. It Is a ter
rible sight when helpless women aud
children, utterly destitute, are herded
together and driven Into France,"
(From the diary of Private Fischer,
Eighth Bavarian regiment of lufantry,
Thirty-third reserve division.)
Too Many Servants In Britain.
Duncan Miller usked the minister of
national service, siiys the London
Times, whether his attention has been
called to the number of advertisements
for servants lu households of one, two
or three persons, where seven to ten
Indoor servunts are already kept, and
whether he proposes to limit the num
ber of Indoor servunts employed In
each household. The minister of na
tional service replb-d that he had al
ready pointed out how essential It ib,
In the national interest, that no per
son should employ more servants than
are absolutely necessary. The niin

sciences of those who have in tlib
respect failed to appreciate their dur

fOLLOW CAMPAIGN OF JOSHUA
British Army Duplicates Victory of
Head of Israelite Hosts, March
ing Over the Same Ground.
And now the British Mesopotnmlan
army has enptured Hebron, 20 miles
from the birthplace of Christ, observes
the Wichita ((Knn.) Beacon.
Moro than 113 centuries ago Joshua,
nt tho head of tho Isrncllto hosts,
marched over tho snme ground enp
hiring Hebron and putting Its king to
death. In ono of tho bnttles ho found
tho time wns too short and so he com
manded tho sun and moon to stand
still while Ids men fought.
Forty years before, Moses was lend
ing the children of Israel out of Egypt
to this promised lund of Canann. Ho
sent out spies, who were overawed by
the giant sons of Annie whom they saw
nt Hebron. All but Joshua and Calel'
gnve unfavorable reports, and tho
Lord wns displeased ut the perverse-'
ness and the credulity of tho Israel
ites, and decreed thnt they must wan
der 40 yenrs In the wilderness.
"How nre tho mighty fallen," mourn
fully sang David as a requiem for his
friend Jonathan, nearly ,1.000 years
ago, and then he asked the Lord for
guidance. God commanded hltn to go
to Hebron, nml there he wns anointed
king of Judnh and reigned seven years
before going to Jerusalem. i
And almost 40 centuries ngo Abrn- '
ham built an altar at Hebron nnd
there bought his first lund. There (
was hurled his faithful wife Sarah,
and also Isaac and Rebeknh nnd Ja
cob nnd Lenh and Joseph.
The bones of the shepherd patri
archs, of Dnvld, the sweet singer of
Israel ; of Joshua, the mighty warrior;
have crumbled nnd mingled with the
ntiids of the centuries, but the world
lights on over Its ancient battle
grounds, nnd mankind, like Sisyphus,
-filing the great burden to tho top of
'bo hill, sees It roll back nnd create
another task.
But mnnklnd has learned, a Upon
-caching Hebron It refuses to bo
iwed by the giants who bar the way to
'he promised laud of world peace and
freedom.
It Is a strange nnd wonderful
iramn thnt la, taking placo on earth
today.
Guineas Get Ride.
Any of the young blood of Indlnn
ipolls will testify thnt "chickens" (lr
'no of the later acceptances of tli
word) are very fond of street car nnd
'lutomoblle riding, observes the Indian
apolls News, but It Is not often that
four guineas of the common or gar
den digging vnrlety have an oppor
tunity to disport themselves in or'on
a city street car.
Amid n chorus of squawks from
nhotil 100 coops of turkeys and other
fowlMJn front of William Locks' fish
mill poultry plnce nt 1027 Vlrglnln nve
nue, the other day, four guineas es
caped from n coop, and n series of
hops. Hops and flights landed them on
ho trolley pole of n street car headed
for Washington street, where they evi
dently regarded It policy to sit tight.
At any rate they were not tempted
from their perch by downtown window
displays or moving picture thenters.
On tho back trip the street car stopped
In front of Locks', nnd the motormon
shouted: "Here are your guineas."
Eager hands helped them to' alight,
nnd they were taken back home.
Danish Statistics.
Very few European countries only
were In n position to proceed, slnco
August 1, 1014, with their normnl quin
quennial census. Denmark ls one of
the exceptions, snys an exchnnge. On
February 1, 1010. the little kingdom
counted 2,020.000 Inhabitants, i. e., nn
Increase of 103,000 souls over the cen
sus of 1011.
- The distribution ratio is 7C inhab
itants to the square kilometre. The
Copenhagen Frederlksberg county con
tains G0.r.00O inhabitants, I. e., moro
than one-fifth of the total population.
The 74 other cities number 001.000
people. Rustic population. 1,711.000.
The threu principal cities, besides
Copenhagen, are: Anrhus, 00.000;
Odcnse, 45,000, and Aalborg, 38.000.
The present war Increased the Import
ance of the seaport town of Esbjerg
(10.000 Inhabitants), which hardly ex

Concerning Gasoline.
The war department has estimated
that the dally gasoline needs of Amer
ica for war purposes will bo 050,000
gallons for the next few years. Gov
ernment figures show that the total
daily gasoline production In the United
Statcsi is 0,840,000 gallons.
The Bureau of Mines has nutho..zed
the publication of a bulletin which
states thnt n saving of 1,500.000 gal
lons of gasoline may be effected every
day by Amerlcnns by the careful ob
servation of certain simple sugges
tions. The bureau of mines would
conserve a half million gnllons more
of gasoline dnlly than will bo de
manded by tho government to operuto
Its necessary war equipment or to
carry on Its other necessary Industries
during timesof war.
What Amerlcnns need to learn nt
this time Is to conserve gasoline Judi

NATION
The United States, and Canada
Have a Great Responsibility.
This Is tho day when the farmer
has his Innings. The time was when
ho was .dubbed the "farmer," the
"mossbnek," and lu a tone that could
never have been called derisive, but
still there was lu It the Inflection that
h was occupying an inferior position.
The stiff upper lip that the farmer car
rliVl, warded off any approach thnt his
occupation was a degrading one.. His
hour arrived, though, und for some
years past he has been looked up to as
occupying u high position.
Agriculture, by tt natural trend of
economic conditions, stands out today
In strong relief, ns the leader lu the
world's pursuits. Never In the nntlrin's
history have- the eyes of the world
been bo universally focused on the
farm. The farmer Is the niiiii of Im
portance; the nianufacturer of Its most
necessary product, and he now enjoys
the dunl satisfaction of reaping n max
linuni of profit, ns a result of ids opera
tions, while he also becomes n strong
factor'ln molding the world's destinies.
Manufacturers, business men, pro
fessionnl men and bankers realize the
Importance of agriculture, and glailly
acknowledge it as the twin sister to
commerce. In commercial, financial
and political crisis, the tiller of the
soil takes the most Important place.
Maximum prices, the highest In many
decades, show the world's recognition
of the necessary requirement for more
farm stuffs. The time- was coming
when this would hnve been brought
about automatically, but war time
conditions urged it forward, while the
farmer was able to secure land at roa
sonnble prices. Throughout several of
the Western states this condition ex
ists, ns nlso In Western Canada.
Never has such a condition been
known In commercial life. It Is truly
an opportunity of a lifetime. Largo
and small nianufacturlng concerns nnd
practically every other line of busi
ness hnve been limited In their profits
lo the ifilnt of almost heroic sacrifice,
while it Is possible today to reap divi
dends In farming unequalcd In any
other line.
Thirty, and as high as fifty bushels
of wheat per acre at $2.20 per bushel
and all other furm produce on a simi
lar basis, grown and produced on land
available at from $15 to 540 per acre
represents a return of profit despite
higher cost of lnbor nnd machinery,
(hat. In many cases runs even higher
than 100 of an annual return on the
amount Invested. Such Is the present
day condition In Western Canada. IIow
long It will last, no one can foretell.
Prices for farm produce will likely re
main high for many years. Certainly,
the low prices of past years will not
eonio again In this generation. The
hinds referred to, are low In prlco at
present, but they will certainly In
crease to their naturally productive
value as soon as the demand for them
necessitates this Increase, and this day
Is not far distant. This demand Is
growing daily; the farmer now on the
ground Is adding to his holdings while
trices are low; the agriculturist on
high priced lands Is realizing that he
Is not getting all the profit that his
neighbor In Western Canada Is secur
ing; tho tenant farmer Is seeking u
home of his own, which he enn buy
on what he was paying out for rent,
and ninny are forsaking the crowded
cities to grasp these unprecedented op
portunities. The tenant farmer, nnd the owner
of high priced land, is now nwakeiilug
to tho realization that he Is nut get
ting the return for his labor and In
vestment that It Is possible to securo In
Western Canada. Thousands nre mak
ing trips of Inspection to personally In
vestlgatn conditions nnd to acqujiint
lliemselves with the broadening bene
fits derived by visiting Western Can
ada. Such trips awaken in a progres
sive man Hint natural desire to do
bigger things, tn accomplish as much
as his neighbor, and frequently result
In convincing and satisfying him that
God's most fori lie outdoors, with a big
supply of nature's best climatic and
liealth-glvliig conditions lies in West
ern Canada.
The days of pioneering are over; the
seeker after a new home travels
through all parts of the country on the
same good railway trains ns he has
been accustomed to at home, but on

lie finds good roads for uutoinobllliig

rural sclioola and churches situated

Indication of general prosperity; cities
