til this inter
booklat, the A rat dealing with
• MtllUrtHl since 1914; the
Ml the brutalizing affact of
| man militarism aultatlon of the army
above tha elatt autfurltlaa; the fourth
rhaptar flluatratee the "Zabern Inci
dent" aa an evidence of militariaai
ovar civil authority; and the fifth
rhaptar deals with tha hope for tha
future in Lhr conduct of Carman mili
tary authorities. All material in tkla
booklet 111 baaad upon verbatim quota
tion* from German newspapers who
stood >chant at tha display of liranaa
and unhalievablc brulahty practiced
by commisxioncd and ron-commis
sioned officer* in the Germany army
barracks. The main socrra of infor
mation la "the Vorwarta," tha offi
cial organ of the German Social De
mur ratlr party. At the trial of Rosa
I Luxemburg 'J22 men from all part* of
| Germany responded and were ready to
taatify to something like 30,0u0 separ
ate instances of brutal treatment of
German soldiers by their own officers,
even at the riak of prosecution by
| the Military authorities. One ehap
: tar of thia testimony reads, "He wax
struck in the face with the fist by
I Lieutenant trier, >0 that a tooth bled
and got loose. He was beaten till he
was bleeding but report of the case
wax not sent higher up. Musketeer
Hempel shot and killed himself after
drill becausc he had been grossly in
sulted by • corporal in front of the
company. A reservist threw him
self in front of a railroad train;
another drowned himself, because they
could no longer stand the abuse of
non-commissioned officer Huebner."
So overwhelming was the evidence
prepared by attorney for Rosa Lux
emburg that German Military author
ities never allowed the case to be
brought to trial. In another para
graph of this booklet Mr. Altachul
states, "If Americans had been fa
miliar with the details of German
Militarism they would have expected
the worst during the stress of a cam
paign. and would have been less un
prepared for the unheard of barbari
ties practiced by tie Germans in Bel
gium and wherever they set foot. If
officers. non-commissioned officers ami
professional regulars treat their own
recruits in the fashion described, in
times of peace, what could could be
expected of troops commanded by
such ruffians in enemy country, under
the terrific excitment of combat, and
particularly when "frightfulneaa" is
the slogan." Summarizing the hope
^ for the future Mr. Altschul says
"when the German people awaken
from the nightmare which now holds
them in its grasp; when they realize
it was the dieam of world power that
had blinded them; when under the
I pressure of stern necessity they recast
| their views of frightfulncss and of its
consequences;—then there will re
awake that conscience which the lib
eral press endeavored to stimulate in
times of peace, and it will again be
possible to treat with Germany of
today as with the Germany of old,
when she had not yet sacrificed her
soul on the altar of efficiency.

Lovill advising that the pricea had not yet boon furniahed
to him which would be effective after April Int. but ia car*
tain it will be no lower than $8.00, per ton.
The greateet urgency exists that every one abould Iny in
hie conl between now nnd Sept Int. aa after that data
there will probably not be any coal for home uaea.
B Please bear in mind that from the loweet to the higheet
everyone muat All out the application card for conl. It
makea no difference from whom or how you get thia
coal you muat have thia card on file before any deliveries
can be made to you, unless someone violates the law and
becomes subject to a heavy fine.
It ia urged by the fuel administration that everyone
make the next Ave months their "COAL" months and
arrange to have your coal delivered in these Ave months
and let them offset the "COLD" months of the coming
Winter.
Everyone can more eoaily put coal in now than later,
and bear in mind that "LATER" there may be no coal at

Mr. Customer it is squarely up to you and with Ave
months when coal is guaranteed to you, if you don't get

the Arehouse as well as at the Barber shops, just All out
the card and leave it with the Arm who has the blanks
and I will get them. Remember the card ia not an order
for delivery but simply "Puts your name in the pot," for
coal during the next Ave months, and each buyer must
bear in mind that all must take a little along as we can't
wait until the last day and deliver all the coal which
should extend over the next Ave months.
