German Troops Sicken at Brutal Work They Are Asked to Perform.

The fact that the German soldiers themselves appealed to Ambassador Gerard as “the representative of a Christian state,” to protest against atrocities and butcheries in which their commanders forced them to participate will be disclosed in a forthcoming pamphlet by the committee on public information entitled “German War Practices.” One German soldier, conscience stricken with the massacre of Russian prisoners, implored the American ambassador to protest and signed his letter “A German soldier and Christian.” , , . Another, who through the ambassador, addressed his special appeal to the American government against the butchery of prisoners, signed his letter “A soldier and a man who is no barbarian.” This was the protest of a German soldier, an of a slaughter of Russian soldiers in the Mazunan lakes and swamps: “It was frightful and heartrending as these masses of human beings were driven to destruction. Above the terrible thunder of the cannon could be heard the heartrending cries of the Russians ‘Oh, Prussians; oh, Prussians’ —but there was no mercy. As I have heard, five men and one officer on our side went mad from these heartrending cries. But most of my comrades and the officers joked us the unfortunate and helpless Russians shrieked for mercy while they were being suffocated m the swamps and shot down. The order was: ‘Close up and forward. For days afterwards the heartrending yells followed me and I dare not to think, of them else I shall go mad. There is no God, no morality and no ethics any more. There are no human beings any more, but only beasts. Down with militarism.” There was the testimony of another German soldier on th eeastern front: “Russian Poland, Dec., 1914: In the name of Christianity I send you these words:

“My conscience forces me. as a Christian German soldier to inform you of these lines. “Wounded Russians are killed with the bayonet according to orders. “Russians who have surrendered are often shot down in masses according to orders in spite of their heartrending prayers'. In the hope that you as a representative of a Christian state will protest against, this, I sign myself: “A German soldier and a Christian. I would sign my name and regiment, but these words would get me court martialed for divulging military secrets.” This letter from a German soldier on the western front: “To the American government: Washington, U. S. A. “Englishmen who have surrendered are shot down in small groups. With the French one is more considerate. I ask whether they let themslevs be taken prisoners in order to be disarmed and shot down afterwards. Is that chivalry in battle? It is no longer a secret among the people; one hears everywhere that few prisoners are taken; they are shot down in small groups. They say naively: “ ‘We don’t want any unnecessary mouths to feed. Where there is no one to enter complaint, there is no judge.’ Is there no power in the world which can put an end to these murders and rescue the victims? Where is Christianity? Where is right? Might is right. “A soldier and man who is no barbarian.”

Watseka Company Demonstrating Oil Burner in Rensselaer.

J. J., Casey, of Watseka, 111., is here this week for the purpose of demonstrating to the citizens of our city, an oil burner which is manufactured by the Peoples’ Specialty Co., of Watseka. The company is incorporated for SIO,OOO and is backed by some of the most influential businessmen of Watseka. Although a Jroung company, it is growing rapidy and all that have purchased these burners so far have been very well pleased with them. Mr. Casey will be in the city for ten days or more and will make the demonstrations in the building next to the fire department building. The demonstration is free and Mr., Casey invites the public to come in and inspect and test the burner. The demonstration is free. The company wants to get the burner before the people and show its advantages. Mr. Casey States emphatically that he is not here for the purpost of selling stock, his sole desire being to get the burners placed throughout the county. This done, Mr. Casey asserts that the burners will sell themselves. Mr. Casey just came from Morocco, where he has been for the past ten days. During his stay there he installed a number of the burners and in every case they are giving satisfaction. During Mr. Casey’s stay in our city he will invite the members of the Fuel Committee of the county to investigate the burners and feels sure that they will find the burner all that he claims it to be. Every housewife in Jasper county should call at the headquarters of the company and see this wonderful little neater. Some time ago burners were sold here which did not give satisfaction in very many cases, but there is no comparison between the burner which was sold here some time ago and the one the Watseka company is demonstrating. The oil tank is attached to the stove on the outside. The oil is drained from the tank by a small pipe which leads down to a larger piper to the burner. It is easy to operate and Mr. Casey asserts that the average cost of operating the burner is between $3.90 and $4.00 per month. With coal at the present price it is easy to see that a considerable saving can be shaved off of the fuel bill each month. There is no dust or dirt and the labor of building a fire is done away with. The oil flow is easy to regulate and a nice, steady heat can be maintained with the flow as low as sixty drops to a minute. Almost any heat desired can be attained The oven heat can be kept at any temperature desired for baking and the cares of a housewife vanish,ifollowing the installation of one of these burners. Mr. Casey will be here for ten days demonstrating and selling the burners. He will install them free of charge. Call at his headquarters and see this wonderful little invention at any time. You are welcome. —ADV.

Mayor Spitler Performs Marriage.

Thomas Davis, prosperous retired farmer of Kniman, Ind., aged 65 years, but as spry as a youth fit for. military service, and Mrs. Anna Putt, a blushing widow of 45 years, were married at the office of the county clerk by Mayor Charles G. Spitler. This was the third marriage for the groom and the second for the bride, the latter being the mother of eight children. Mr. Davis is the father of a number of children, all of whom are adults. The couple were very happy and the kiss given the bride by the groom at the close of the wedding ceremony and his other acts indicate his great pleasure of re-entering into matrimony. Mr. Davis is very popular and undoubtedly received a warm reception upon their arrival at Kniman, where the frinds of the couple wish them all joy and bliss and a long number of years of happy wedded life. Mrs. Simon Cooper was operated on today for the removal of a felon on her Ift hand, which has been proving quite painful.
