FINGERS AND HANDS
CUT FROM CHILDREN.
Mr. Warwick Saw These
Things With His
Own Eyes.
The followin~g interesting article
was taken ftom The Evening inde
pendent, of iMasillon, Ohio, handed
to us by Dr. Geo. iR. Tolson, who had
as his guests last summer the writer
of this letter and members. of the
family named. Dr. Tolson still has
in his care the iboatrused :by them
while here.
"Pro-Germans in Massillon and the
United States, since the opening of
the great war has scoffed at reports
of atrocities committed by German
soldiers upon the women and child
ren of France and Belgium. There
were many ipro-Americans whose
pleasant experience with Germans in
Germany before the great war eaused
them to listen doubtingly to the ac
counts of the unspeakable savagry
of the Huns.
Now comes evidence from an eye
witness, a former resident, a~native
of Massillon and a member of a well
known faimly. John G. Warwick,
son of Mrs. Ralph A. Flynn, of P.itts
burg, a grandson of Mrs. Maria War
wick, of East Main street, and of the
late former United States Represea
tative John G. Warwick of this city.
'now serving with the United States
Motor service at Lyons, France, has
written a letter to his mother telling
how daily he carries in',his auto
mobile chbi:dren whose bodies have
been muttilated by the Germans and
in many 'cases, children whose moth
ers were vidlted and outraged by
German soldiers in the very presence
of the children tl~emnelves. Some of
the children cry, Mr. Warwick says,
but others are dazed as a result -of
the horrible experiences 1through
which they have pas.ed.
Portions of the letters follow:
"I saw two mutilated children yes
terday, one with three fingers cut off
on his right hand and another with
his right foot chopped- off by those
damned (excuse the expression, but
that's just what they are) Boche.
"We take all kinds of oprhans to
different homes all the time and it
makes your heart bleed to see these
poor kids bewildered sometimes and
often crying for their ,parents. But
more often dumb with misery. Every
kindness is showered on tihem and
Lord knows lots of thel:' :t 'better
treatment than they eve,- id before.
Yet it is too horrible for words.
"Are people more wide awake than
when I left? They won't be here 10
minutes Ibefore they will realize that
this is very serious business and
must be finished with dispatch, for
everyone here does some useful
thing. We will learn a lot about war
and warfare but we will learn some
thing more precious than that and
that is self sacrifice.
"With my own eyes I have seen
many children with their Bight hanils
cut off or their fingers chopped off,
E·,es gouged out or legs cut'off. All
of them have been photographed,
;howing these horrible thingsjlcon
lunction with pictures of extremely
good treatment they receive after
coming into our hands.
"Day before yestergay I took a lot
of American officers through one of
the children's hospitals; as they
were skoptical about the German (I
should say 'Hun), vicious 'babarity.
After they had seen 'with theIr own
eyes, they said that, only retaliation
',ould pcss"_.ly result, if the 'Huns
continued to use such inhuman prac
tices.
"I dont' regret coming, the only
regret I have is that I wasn't 'here
years ago. I rise at 6 o'clock in the
morning and I am hwaiting to 'go to
the station at 8 o'clock and 'work un
til '10 o'd!ock. Then I w'!!l get to
bed at perhaps 412 o'clock. I have
to rise at 4:30 then as more are com
ing at 5:30 o'clock. 'I am tired but
I am supremely happy in the thought
of having accomplished something.
I take French lessons at the Ancle
Berletz every day from 1 to 2 n'clo'.k
fir it is very important t.at I learn
to speak French vet y quickly.
"Needless to say I gave a (bed 'to
the Comite for one year, it cos,$100
but they needed it very Fadly and
everyone e!se who could gave one."

ABITA- CITIZEN
DECRIES THE
MONGREL
Abdta S.,)ing,, Jan. 21, 19)7.
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
Conservation is a good word, buit
how few of us really do anything to
help the other man. A few yards
from my frotn gate a sheep was
torn to pieces last Sunday by stray
dogs. Some time last night a cow
was pulled down in Abita-stray
dogs! Is it not time that something
was done to protect one of our most
promising industries? I feel sure
that no sheep owner would want to
deprive a man of a good dog, used
for hunting, watching, etc., but he
is taxed for his sheep and cattle,
why not tax the dog? The schools
would get the money and -they sure
need it.. If it is the law why not
inforce it? No one would object to
paying $1.00 a year for each dog.
and it would help to kill off a lot of
worthless curs that are a misery to
themselves and every one else.
Standing at the corner of V a'ah
ington and St. Charles streets, in
New Orleans, the other day, I saw
the dog wagon with not less than
thirty dogs of -all 'breeds, caught in
the morning and were being taken
to the pound. It would be a real
stroke of business if we had 'a dog
wagon here and rounded up all the
worthless curs, and help to protect
our sheep and wool industry. Not
speaking of the dollars and cents,
but looking at it from a humanitari
an point of view, it would be better
for the' starving dogs to get rid of
them-FTlnd prevent, untold suffering
of sheep.
The sheep industry brings. In out
side money, and that circulates
among the community. We al' share
it one way or another, and when we
help the other fellow's 'business we
are helping our .own, and last, but
not least, helping our Uncle Sam to
win the war by -providing wool to
clothe our sons lat the front.
Get rid of the tick 'and get rid of
the worthless dog!

While Miss Gladys Smnith was pass
ing near the postoffiie Wednesday
afternoon she Icoked across the
street just in time to recognize a
red and-(black woolen cosy that she
had made with her own hands and
was so fminiliar with that she
coald nct be mistaken. It was a
coat that had 'been-stolen fr3m her
at the parish fair )ast fall. She hur
ricd into the poitoffice- and aske i
where she could find an officer to
arrest the wearer. She was direct
ed to the courthouse across the street
and on her way there met Attorney
F. J. Heintz, juvenile oftclet,-wh3
made the arrest. The 'wearer was a'
eolorcd girl, who said that 'she had
bought the coat for $1.50 from Jack
Bailey, a negro who iis of ',hady char
acter and who was one of the three
negroes shot by Pinky Williams a
year or so ago. Bailey is now liv
ing in Bogalusa. An affidavit was
made out against the colored girl,
who gave her name as. Josephine
Scott, and she lwill be held as a wit
ness against Bailey whose arrest has
been ordered. The ipapers were
made out ibefore Judge Pechon. The
girl's mother went her bond.
At the same time this coat was
stolenrMlr. C. E. Sconberg had a fine
overcoat, a pair of glove3 and a silk

DON'T SEND FOOD TO SOIlID.RS.
The National Council of Defense
desires to inform 'the 'peoele of the
country that albundant food is sup
plied to the soldiers and sailors in
the camps and cantonments. and that
the sending of tod to these men by
their friends and familie'; is not in
any respect necessary; that the ag
gregate quantity of food thus pri
vately sent is enormous, and that
much of it, having been conveyed
long distances, in heated expres.- or
mail oars, is more or less spoiled,
and eonsequently injurious to the
health of the men. Therefore, in the
Interest of.the coneervation of food.
and also in the interest of the health
of the men, the Council of Defense
requests the public to discontinue
the sending of foodstuffs to the men
n the camps.

W. P. U. Elects New
Executive Board
and Officers.
There was a meeting of the Wo

Chamber of Commerce rooms Wed-.
nesday afternoon and the following
officers and executive board were
elected:
Mrs. A. IL, Bear, president; Miss
Kate Eastman, first vice president;
Mrs. E. Terrebonne, second vice pres

Mrs. H. H. Smith, Mrs. E. R. Mos

It wily be notice that there has
been quite a change in the official
and executive personnel of the as
sociation. The old-time leaders have
made way to new workers. The past
of the association records many ac
complishments that have ;been valu
able to the community. Those who
are now entering upon the difficult
work of doing things in the upbuild
ing of community Interests, added
to the worik entailed in connection
w'ith war necessities and duties, will
no doubt be inspired with the hope
of accomiplishaent and supported by
the vigor and energy of that hope.
Mrs. Bear has shown aliflity and
willingness to work, and as the head
of the association may be expected to
bring good results. There are other
good workers among the new officers
and execiutives, and the future of
the Women's Progressive Union
should reflect the excellent O*k aof

Felt By All.
Mr. G. C. Alexius died at his home
in Covington, La., Sunday, January
20, 1918, after a few moments ill
ness, caused by heart and kidney af
fection of some years standing. He
had been under treatment of Dr.
Bell of Nbw Orleans, and when his
attack came on the doctor was'tele
'lihoned to immediately and gave dn
structions as to his care and treat
ment, but before these instructions
could be carried out Mr. Alexlus
passed away, apparently without
pain or struggle. He was 71 years,
5 months, 29 days of age. He was

confidence in the growth of the par

steel bridges were erected to replace
the old wooden ones.
- Mr. Alexius was an ardent planter
and farmer and did much to illus

the parish fair, illustrating how
everything for bhome needs could be
produced on the farm, including
wines, vinegar, catsup, jams, pre
serves, canned goods and building
material, sugar, molasses and gener
al farm products. He was awarded
first przisep for these exhibits. His
influence in the parish has been all
for upbullding, and he has won the
respect and esteem of every one.
Up to the time of his death be had
been active in his business relations
and was president of Alexius Broth
ers & Co., Inc., of Covington.
He is survived 1by his widow, who
