C. A. Building Filled With “Women,” Pro-German Writes Chicago Paper DRINK FREELY SOLD TO SOLDIERS. HE ASSERTS ‘Rey. H. C. Cunningham, the First Presbyterian church, is in} receipt of a letter from The Advance, a Congregational journel published at Chicago, which states: “We are in receipt of a letter which affirms at Fort Lincoln, near marck, the Y. M. C, A. building is ‘filled with women,’ and that at least su girls in the neighborhood of the camp are ‘in trouJle’ because of asso. clation with the soldiers there en- camped. It is further asserted that drink is freely sold to the men in camp. The writer says the conduct of Fort Lincoln is a disgrace to the government, etc. “I need only say that the letter, which was mailed from Cleveland, N. D., is badly written and grossly illit- erate, and of course, unsigned. But if you have a federal detective in Bismarck he might like to run this person to earth and see that he re- ceives the treatment he merits. “As 1 must report at a meeting of the Chicago ministers soon upon the nioral conditions of our cantonments, it’ seemed ‘best to pay some attention | to tiis letter, unbelievable as its charges are.” The allegations are, of course, ab- solutely, vilely false, undoubtedly the product of a pro-German brain or of one filled with the mouthings of La- Follette and other Townley consum- ers and producers. Fort Lincoln is in command of Major Dana Wright, a veteran of the Philippine war, for ty, a member of the present ‘legisla- strict disciplinarian and a man of high principles. He has endeavor- ed to make Fort Lincoln a model camp and has succeeded. The only difficulty ever encountered with wom- en was with camp followers of the professional type, and they have not ‘bOthered since Major Wright turned oat his provost guard and aided Chief Martineson of the city police force in I cleaning them out. There are now about 700 troops at Fort Lincoln. They are members of the same First North Dakota which| prior to its departure for the Mexi- can border in July, 1916, was encamp- ed there for several months during which time not a single instance of oYscene or ungentlemanly . conduct was charged. If there is anything to thereof, there are scores of old topers who would be glad to know it.

Two forms of testimony are esteemed by jurists—the testimony of mature men, who have seen and heard, and the testimony of children too innocent to invent their state- ments but old enough to tell what they saw. For the first time in history the German ‘has reduced savagery to a science, therefore this great war for peace must go on until the German cancer is cut clean out of the body.” Dr. Hillis asserted that more than 10,000 separate atrocities committed by the German armies had been docu- mented and were on file in the chan- cellories of the allied nations for use when the terms of peace are to be dis- cussed. “When the German army in Lor- raine was defeated by one-half its number,” he went on, “it fell north- ward, passing through French towns and villages where there were no Frenchmen, no guns, and where no shots were fired. During July and August we went slowly from one ruined town to another, talking with the women and the children, compar- ing the photographs and the full offi- cial records made at the time, with the statements of the poor, wretchea survivors, who lived in cellars, where once there had been beautiful houses, orchards, and vineyards. “In Gerbevillier, standing beside their graves, I studied the photograph of the bodies of 15 old men whom the Germans had lined up and shot be- cause there were no young soldiers to kill; heard the detailed story of a woman whose boy of 14, being near- est the age of a soldier, was first hanged to a pear tree in the garden, and when the officer and soldiers had left him and were busy setting fire to the next house, she cut the rope, re- vived the strangled boy, only to find the soldiers had returned, and while the officer held her hands behind her back, his assistant poured petrol on the boy’s head and clothes, set fire to him, and while he staggered about, a flaming torch, they shrieked with laughter. When they burned all the houses and retreated the next morning, the perfect of Larraine photographed the bodies of 80 aged men lying as they fell, the bodies of women stripped. and at last slain, while in the next village stood the ruined square belfry into which the Germans had lifted machine guns, then forced every woman and child— in number—into the little batch of dough with Calumet Baking, Powder, Use part of it in a baking for'your evening meal. * Put the balance of dough in the ice box—for breakfast biscuits.
