symbol of strength and bravery.
Tbe cattle nags of the Creeks were
made of eagle feathers, ' and their

sty n iiiiiam pim) ,
San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 5, An
army of mosquito-eating bats, sever
al thousand strong, .will be (turned
loose in San Antonio next jnonth.
If, as has been predicted for it, the
army succeeds in crippling the ac
tivities of the. germ-laden, mosquito
population, many other cities may
follow San Antonio's example '' and
establish their "municipal bat
roosts." - ;
Dr. C. A. R. Campbell, who : has
made a special study of bats, is re
sponsible for San Antonia's bat
roost. The institution came qto ex
istence last spring. It was not a suc
cess in -its Orst'year owing to the
fact that it was established late in
the spring, and its population was
not numerous (enough. This' spring
there is a large army of bats on hand
and it is expected to get an early
start." 1 '
Dr. CampbeQ says that one bat in
the course of a day will eat One
thousand mosquitoes. He expects
hordes of mosquitoes' to perish daily,
and that by the end of the summer
the pestiferous insects will be al
most, if not entirely, missing from
this locality.
The flight of the bats' will begin
about February 15, and from then
nntil April 30 they will fly about all
night, trailing and devouring mos
quitoes. . Dr. Campbell says that the
more malaria, typhoid and other
germs a mosquito carries the better
the bat relishes it
After April 30 the bats grow
less hungry and more sleepy. By the
end of July their flight totals only
about two hours. Soon thereafter
th season for baby bats arrives.
A neighboring eity having writ
ten Dr. Campbell asking bim to get
rid of mosquitoes, he replied: "Breel
bats." Then he got another latter
inquiring, ''But when you've got nd
or tbe mosquitoes how do you get
rid of the bats T"

MURDER, LOOTING, TORTURE
CHARGED TO RUSSIAN TROOPS
Memoria of 'Atrocities. Committed
oav-Germsut Prisoners, and Popular
tion Prepared by Berlin. ; '
Gustav C. Roeder in New York World
A memorial "on atrocities commit
ted by Russian troops upon German
inhabitants and German prisoners of
war " has been prepared by the Ger-
man Government
This document, which is marked
"official," has never been made pub
lic in tbe Kaiser's domains. It is
kept in readiness for use when the
proper moment presents itself. It
will, no doubt, form an important
factor in any negotiations for peace
as far as actual damages are concern
ed, in the official dealings between
Russia and Germany.
The fact that this official document
is on hand also goes to prove how
thoroughly the Germans are prepar
ed for any emergency, war as well as
peace.
The document has been secured by
The World through the courtesy of
Herr Arthur von Gwinner, Director
of the Deutsche Bank, the largest
banking institution in Germany, and
himself a member of the Herrenhaus,
or House of Lords of Prussia. In
presenting this most remarkable, doc
ument to the staff correspondent of
The World Herr von Gwinner wrote
on his cad:
"This is official, but has not been
published in Germany for fear of
arousing passions of cruelty or re
venge,

JURY DECIDES MACBi .... i ibrwT
Slot 'Machins Cass in Polios Cesrt
. I
This Morning. . -A
police justice, a jury, several po
licemen, three lawyers, two witnesses,
two slot machinesv a quantity of gun.
several nickels, a number of law
books snd an entire morning were
employed today to determine whether
a chewing gun machine that operates
on-a-niekel-in-the-slot-basis in B. W.
Means' pool room opposite the St
Cloud Hotel waa a gambling machine
or not. The jury decided that it
was not.
Charley Lipe waa tbe principal wit
ness for the State. He testified that
he put $2.75 (55 nickels according to
City Attorney Caldwell although the
figures are not official, as the war bul
letins state) and received neither gum
nor more nickels in return. The de
fense claimed that the gum was there
and if Lipe did not get it the machine
was in no way to blame.
The machine itself, which claims
a few of the nickels in the community
that the Coca-Cola, Spearmint and
Jitney Bus people wo not want, looks
as if it is capable of supplying gum
or responding to other demands that
might be made upon it by people of
the jitney class. In fact it is more
or less liable, according to its appear.
ance, to accuse the machine of not
being able to give forth such a small
article as chewing gum. It it such, a
clever, intelligent devieC, in the es
timate of L. T. Hartsell and W. G.
Means, that it comes within the law
by making the return a person will
get by playing it fixed and certain, a
space showing just what is "coming
up" when the nickel is played. Tbe
law, they contended, made a slot ma
chine a gambling device where the
return was not fixed and certain.
Mr. Morrison Caldwell, represent
ing tbe State, claimed there was a
game of chance and also contended
that, acording to the evidence, no
gum was given the State's witness
- After being out. a short time the
jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

While practically every phase of
social welfare, such as morals, edu

studied and discussed, the major
theme of the conference seemed to be
the welfare of the child, its health,
