RUSSIA BOWS TO GERMANY.
Congress of Soviets Agrees to Terms
of Peace Treaty.
March 17.?Russia has bowed to
the central empires. The hard terms
of the peace treaty submitted by the
r Germans at Brest-Litovsk have been
agreed to by the all Russian congress
of Soviets, in session at Moscow,
in spite of the opposition of an
important element of the Russian people.
The result of the vote was forecast
in the announcement from Moscow
on Friday that the Bolshevik delegates
to the Moscow congress had at
t a party caucus voted in favor of rati
fication. There was a faction, however,
that registered its disapproval
of the treaty, but the presence of
* Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik premier,
probably united his followers
and enabled them to roll up a large
majority in favor of accepting the
provisions of the German peace
treaty.
The message sent by President Wil.
son to the congress, in which he expressed
his sympathy with the Russian
people, was read at the opening
session on Thursday night. It was
received with marked enthusiasm and
a reply embodying a resolution of appreciation
was sent to the American
people.
Kuitur.
Does Germany really do such things
as poison wells and spread disease
germs, wherever possible among hei
enemies?
Upon this point we piesent the
testimony of Prof. G. F. Nicolai,
formerly physician to the Imperial
family of Germany ant1 professor of
physiology at the University of Berlin
In a recently published book from hi3
pen, entitled, "The Biology of *Var."
occur these paragraphs:
J "The military personage who is
f numbered among the most prominent,
but whose name I shall not
K mention, inquired of me whether it
might not be possible to fix shells
with cholera germs or plague bacilli
so that the shells could be sent back
of the front firing line.
"As I replied to him that I did
not think it would do to use procedures
so lacking in humanity, he answered
me in a tone tinged with contempt,
"Humanity is not to be considered
in this war and Germany has
a right to do everything she pleases'."
Professor Nicolai added tnat in
( Germany many millions of people are
^ reasoning in the same way as this
man, who in no other ways has manifested
marked superiority of character.
Others, he said, have even more
cruel ideas, and a medical officer on
the general staff asked him whether
it would not he possible to inoculate
the Russians with bacteria, saying,
"With such cattle everything is legitimate."
;
Professor Nicolai is known as a
humane as well as a skillful physician
by a number of medical men in
this country who studied with him in
* Germany, one of whom called our attion
to these facts. It is perhaps unnecessary
to add that Professor Nicolai
is* now serving a term in a Ger
man military prison. It is all right
to do these things but it is highly
improper to talk about them.?Baltimore

Sugar Supply Assured.
Manufacturers of essential food
products have been advised by the
Food Administration that they will
be able to obtain their full necessary
requirements of sugar for manufacturing
purposes during the coming
. year.
^ This applies particularly to packers
of fruit, condensed milk, such
vegetables for the preservation of
which sugar may be necessary, as
well as to the housewives, for usage
in preserving purposes. As soon as
the car shortage is relieved, according
to the Food Administration statement,
supplies of sugar will be available
for these purposes. Shipments
from Cuba are steadily increasing.
All canners have been advised to
hold for war purposes such qnanti '00

GERMAN' WAR PRACTICES.
(Continued from page 2, column 2)
forced against their will to work for
the enemies ot tneir counuy, or nau
been carried off like cattle into Germany,
where all trace of them had
been lost.
"10. That cities, towns, and villages
had been fined and their inhabitants
maltreated because of the
success gained by the Belgian over
the German soldiers.
"11. That public monuments and
works of art had been wantonly destroyed
by the invaders.
"12. And that generally the Regulations
of the Hague Conference and
the customs of civilized warfare had
been ignored by the Germans, and
that amongst other breaches of such
regulations and customs, the Germans
had adopted a new and inhuman practice
of driving Belgian men, women,
and children in front of them as a
screen between them and the allied
soldiers."
The German authorities undertook
to defend themselves against the terrible
indictment in the report published
by the Belgian government
and appointed a German commission,
which collected a huge mass of materials
designed to show that their
acts1*1 of cruelty were merely acts
of reprisals necessitated by the
deeds of the Belgians. This
mass of testimony was published
in a German White Book with the
title Die volkerrechtswidrige Fuhrung
des Belgischen Yolkskriegs. j
The German commission declared
in its findings that the German soldiers
had acted with humanity, restraint,
and Christian forbearance.
But the sworn statements of German
soldiers, which the commission published,
show the reverse to be true.
German White Book Reveajs Atrocities.
It has been well said that the publication
of this German White Book
was "an amazing official blunder."
The neutral world, whose good opinion
Germany sought, was not convinced
by it that the Belgians had
committed the atrocities with which
the Germans charged them. On the
other hand, this White Book, published
by the German Government,
will be accepted by everyone as conclusive
evidence of the massacres and
other brutal deeds which were carried
out as "reprisals" by the orders
of the German military authorities
in Belgium. The names of the German
officers who gave the terrible
orders are published officially and
"frequently the very men themselves
come forward and depose coldly and
callously to acts which have degraded
the German army and left a stain
upon its banners that (future) generations
of chivalry will not efface."
Indeed, in the light of the admissions
of the German White Book, it
is not too much to say that: the time
has already come which was spoken
of by President Wilson in his dispatch
to President Poincare, .September
19, 1914, when he said (speaking
for "a nation which abhors inhuman
practices in the conduct of a
war"):
"The time will come when this
great conflict is over and when the
truth can be impartially determined.
When that time arrives those responsible
for violations of the rules of
civilized warfare, if such violations
have occurred, and for false charges
against their adversaries, must of
course bear the burden of the judgment
of the world."

Help the Operators Serve
You Better j
Telephone subscribers are urged to call by
number and not by name. In a community
of this size the operators cannot possibly remember
the names of all subscribers; when
you call by name you delay your service and
hamper its efficiency.
All telephones are known to the operators
by numbers which are on the switchboard directly
in front of them. The directory is your
index to the switchboard and should be consulted
before making a call.
Call by number and help the operator
