CALLED "DISGRACE TO ARMY"
No Discrimination Made Between In

In Dead Mothers' Arms—Tes
timony of Brand Whitlock.
Very many German soldiers who
have been taken prisoner had kept
diaries, and these have been confis
cated by the captors. Many have
been published, frequently with fac
simile reproductions to guarantee
their authenticity. The following
extracts, with the testimony of
Brand Whitlock. are made public by
the committee on public information
at Washington:
"Aug. 23. . . . Our meu came back
and said that at the point where the
valley joined the Meuse we could not
get any further, as the villagers were
shooting at us from every house. We
shot the whole lot—10 of them. They
were drawn up In three ranks; the
same shot did for three at a time.
. . . The men had already shown
their brutal Instincts; . . .
"The sight of the bodies of all the
Inhabitants who had been shot was
Indescribable. Every house in the
whole village was destroyed. We
dragged the villagers one after an
other out of the most unlikely corners.
The men were shot as well as the
women and children who were Iu the
convent, since shots had been iiriHl
from the convent windows; and we
burnt it afterwards.
"The Inhabitants might have es
caped the penalty by handing over the
guilty and paying 15,0(10 francs.
"The Inhabitants tiriVI on our men
again. The divisiou took drastic
steps to stop Ibis, the villages being
burnt and the inhabitants being shot.
The pretty little village of Gue
d'Ossus, however, was apparently set
on fire without cause. A cyclist fell
ofT his machine and bis ritle went ofT.
lie immediately said he had been shot
at. All the inhabitants were burnt
in the houses. I hope there will be no
more such horrors.
"Disgrace 10 uur «rmy,
"At Leppe apparently -(Hi men were
shot. There must have been some In
nocent men among them. Iu future
we shall have to hold an inquiry as
to their guilt Instead of shooting
them.
"In the evening we marched to
Mauhert-Fontuine. Just as we were
having our meal the alarm was sound
ed—everyone is very jumpy.
"September 3. Still at Itethel, on

have done more damage. This place
Is a disgrace to our army. The In
habitants who lied could not have ex
pected. of course, that all their goods
would have beeu left Intact after so
many troops had passed. But the col
umn commanders are responsible for
the greater part of the damage, as
they could have prevented the looting
and destruction. The damage amounts
to millions of marks; even the safes
have been attacked.

luck would have it. all wus in excel

everything was smashed to bits.
"I could not resist taklug a little

One house was particularly elegant,
everything in the best taste. The hall
was of light oak; I found a splendid
raincoat under the staircase and a
camera for Felix." (From the diary
of an officer in the One Hundred
Seventy-eighth regiment, Twelfth Sax
on corps.)
But his horror apparently was not
shared by the German commander In

"The population of Andeune, after
making a display of peaceful Inten
tions toward our troops, attacked them
iu the must treacherous manner. With
my authorization, the general com
manding these troops has reduced the
town to ashes and has hud 110 persona
shot.
"I bring this fact to the knowledge
of the people of Liege in order that
they may know what fate to expect
should they adopt a similar attitude.

"GENERAL VON BUELOW."
Srand Whitlock Writes of Massacro#.
In his report of September 12, 1917,
to the secretary of stute, Minister
Whitlock has much to tell of the pol
icy of frightfulness. The following
passages refer to the subject of mas
sacres :
"Summary executions took place (at
Dlnant) without the least semblance
of judgment. The names and number
of the victims are not known, but they
must be numerous. I have been un
able to obtain precise details in this
respect and the number of persons
who have fled Is unknown. Among the
4
persons who were t»hot are: Mr. D»
foln, mayor of Dlnant; Sasserath,
first alderman; Nlmmer, aged seven
ty: Consul for the Argentine Republic
Victor Ponceiel, who was executed In
the presence of his wife and seven
children; Wasselge and his two sons;
Messrs. Gustave and Leon Xlcaise,
two very old men; Jules Monln and
others all shot In the cellar of their
brewery; Mr. Camllle Pistte and son,
aged seventeen; Philllppart Pledfort,
his wife and daughter; Miss Marslg
ny. During the execution of about
forty Inhabitants of Dlnant the Ger
mans plaeed before the condemned
their wives and children. It is thus
that Madam Aibin who had Just given
birth to a child, three days previously,
was brought on a mattress by German
soldiers to witness the execution of
her husband; her cries and supplica
tions were so pressing that her hus
band's life was spared."
"On the 20th of August German sol
diers entered various streets (of Lou
vain) uud ordered the Inhabitants of
tlie houses to proceed to the Place de
la Station, where the bodies of nearly
a dozen assassinated persons were ly
ing. Women and children were sepa
rated from the men and forced to re
main on the Place de la Station dur
ing the whole day. They had to wit
ness the execution of many of their
fellow citizens, who were for the most
part shot at the side of the square,
near the house of Mr. Hemalde. The
women and children, after haviug re
mained on the square for more than
15 hours, were allowed to depart. The
Gardes Clviques of Louvaln were also
taken prisoners and sent to Germany,
to the camp of Munster, where they
were held for several weeks.
"On Thursday, August 27, order was
given to the inhabitants to leave Lou
vain because the city was to be bom
barded. Old men, women, children,
tlie sick, priests, nuns, were driven on
the roads like cattle. More than 10,
(XX) of the Inhabitants were driven as
far as Tirlemont, nearly 12 miles from
Louvaln.
Infants snot in roomers" Arms.
"One of the most sorely tried com
munities was that of the little village
of Tumlnes, down In what Is known
as the Borinage, the coal fields near
Charlerol. Taurines Is a mining vil
lage in the Snmbre; It Is a collection
of small cottages sheltering about 5,
000 Inhabitants, mostly all poor labor
ers.
"The little graveyard In which the
church stands bears Its mute testi
mony to the horror of the event. There
are hundreds of new-made graves, each
with Its small wooden cross and Its
bit of flowers; the crosses are so close
ly huddled that there Is scarcely room
to walk between them. The crosses
are alike and all bear the same date,
the sinister date of August 22, 1914."
"But whether their hands were cut
off or not, whether they were Impaled
on bayonets or not, children were shot
down, by military order, in cold blood.
In the awful crime of the Rock of Bay
ard, there overlooking the Meuse be
low Dinant. infants in their mothers'
arms were shot down without mercy.
The deed, never surpassed In cruelty
by any band of savages, is described
by the bishop of Namur himself:
" 'Hue scene surpasses In horror all
others; It Is the fusillade of the
Rocher Bayard near l>luant. It ap
pears to have been ordered by Colonel
Metster. This fusillade made many
victims among the nearby parishes,
especially those of des Itivages and
Neflfe. It caused the death of nearly
90 persons, without distinction of age
or sex. Among the victims were ba
bles in arms, boys and girls, fathers
and mothers of families, even old
men.
Dead Children in Pile of Bodies.
" 'It was there that 12 children under
the age of six perished from the fire
of the executioners, six of them as
they lay In their mothers' arms:
" "The child Fievet, three weeks old.
" 'Maurice Betems, eleven months
old.
" 'Nelly l'ollet, eleven months old.
" 'GlUla Genon. e^jiteen months old.

" 'The pile of bodies comprised also
many children from six to fourteen
years. Eight large families have en
tirely disappeared. Four have but one
survivor. Those men that escaped
death—and many of whom were rid
dled with bullets—were obliged to
bury In a summary and hasty fushion
their fathers, mothers, brothers or sis
ters ; then after having been relieved
of their money and being placed In
chains they were sent to Cassel (Prus
sia).' "
Mr. Hugh Gibson, the secretary of
our legation In Belgium, visited Lou
vaiu during Its systematic destructioa
by the Germans. In "A Journal From
Our Legation In Belgium," New York, j
1917, pages 164-105, he relates what
;he German officers told lilni:
"It was a story of clearing out civil
ians from a large part of the town, y
systematic routing out of men from
cellars and garrets, wholesale shoot
ings, the generous use of machine
guns, and the free application of the
torch—the whole story enough to
make one see red. And for our guid
ance It was Impressed on us that this
would make people respect Germany
and think twice about resisting her."
German pastors and professors far
from the excitement of the firing have
defended this policy of frightfulness,
s. g.:
"We are not only compelled to ac
cept the war that Is forced upon us
. . . but are even compelled to carri
on this war with a cruelty, a ruthless
ness an employment of every Imagin
able device, unknown in any previous
war.'—Pastor D. Baumgarten, In
Deutsche Reden tn Schwerer Zeit,
"German Speeches in Difficult Days."
LISPING AND STUTTERING.
Children Should Bo Taught How to Use
Their Speech Organs.
Lisping may be caused by a lack of
practice in the organs of speech. Stut
terers are recruited largely from the
ranks of the lispers. Children imitate
the slovenly and disagreeable lan
guage of their elders.
Among the causes of lisping, In ad
dition to the wrong use of speech or
gans, are abnormal teeth, lips, tongue,
jaw or palate. Some cases are appar
ently due to carelessness or haste in
reproducing speech sounds.
Lisping Is not to be considered ab
normal unless It noticeably persists
beyond the age of five or six years.
Usually the tendency to slur over
words disappears rapidly In the upper
grades of school. Fully one-fourth of
the children entering school suffer
from this speech defect
Many educators argue that the first
months of school should be given over
to exercises in oral language lutended
to form correct habits of speech. They
claim that the anxious baste of the
primary teacher to teach children to
read is unjustified and maintain that
if one-lialf of the time used for phonic
drills were devoted to voice cultivation
many cases of stuttering would be pre
vented.—Pittsburgh Press.
The Wise Tool.
"Age brings wisdom." observed the
sage.
"But it doesn't leave us much time
fo use it," replied the fool.—Cincinnati
