REVIEW OF "GERMAN
WAR PRAOTIVES.”
Book Issn 'd by U, 8, Government Heveals
Bloody Horrors, Yay bs Had for the
Asking,
8 me of the blackest pages in all
bistory, comprising a documentary
record of * deeds that make one dee-
pair of the future of the human race,”
are found in a book named * German
War Practices,’ which has just been
issued at the Government Priotiog
Office by the Committee on Publie Iu-
formation for free distribution. It is
edited by Prof. D. C. Monro, of Prince-
tor, and other scholare,
The cumbfounding evidence which
this book presents to the jary of man-
kind is drawn mainly from German
and American sources, and includes
official proclamations and utterances
of the responeible heads of the Im-
perial German Government, letters
snd diaries of German sridiere, quota
tiovs from German newspapers, snd
msterial drawn from the archives of
the State Department which lay bare
the elory of ipconceivable German
strocities,
Ibe purpose of the book is to show
that the system of frightfulnese, itself
the greatest atrocity, is the definite
policy of the Germsn Government, so
tinister that German soldiers have
themselves at times revolted. Iodi-
vidusl acts of wanton cruelty snd bar
baric destruction are cited ouly to ill
ustrate the opeiation of the remorse-
less system.
The book supplements the Bryce re-
port which was the firs! official survey
of the path of horror, ruip, and death
lefi by the German sry on the lande
of inpecent and defenseless people.
The book is eupple vental algo to the
ficial reports by the Belgian Com-
mission and the French Minister of
Foreign Aflsire, and it reveals more of
the damping German war philosophy
es expresecd in the German White
Book aud various cflicial utterances,

grounds of expediency and the ad-
vaccsraept of that * Kultur” which
pow mocks its own npsme throughout

Animal Diseases Rob Army of § Months’
Eatlous.
** One of the greatest problems before
the American farmer today is not only
to supply the animal products deeded
by the United States but also to sup-
ply the ever increasing demand for
these products by our allies,’ asserted
Dr. I. D, Wilson, veterinarian at the
Pennsylvania State College. Conser-
vative estimates taken in England and
France alone show a decrease of 8,000,
000 head of cattle, 7,000,000 hoge and
17,600,000 sheep in these countries
since the beginniog of the war, The
American farmer must not only com-
peneate for this great loss but must al-
80 ward off poseible animal bankruptey
after the war is over,
It is estimated that the annual loss
in the United States due to animal dis
eases is $212,000,000, Thia amount of
money is approximately sufficient to
furnish the meat ration for 2,000,000
soldiers for 8 monthe. Most of this loss
results from infectious diseases which
can be controlled in a large measure
Dy proper management,
Daring the past fifteen years the
population of the United States has
been locreased by 15,000,000 people,
During this same time there has been
a decrease of 6,000,000 head of beef ani-
mals and 11,000,000 sheep. The pum-
ber of hogs bas increased only 11,000,
000. It is thus very evident that the
livestock industry esnnot continue to
decrease in the future as it has in the
past. Iofectious diseases must be con-
trolied and better livestock produced,
