The ordcis are that the hours of labor shall be determined by the farmers. In the summer the pris oners work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. If n prisoner makes a kick, the peasant appeals to a sentry, who comes running up with his bayonet. The corporal said he learned that a large number of prisoners had been put to work In the salt mints at Kallwerk, Germany. The salt Is used especially for the manufacture of suffocating gases which the Huns are turning loose on our lines.

It would be horrible to have to obey such a dirty creature as he was. She pitied Lonesome Bear with all her heart. The tramp came close to her. 'Dance, 1 tell you," he hissed. "I'll give you money If you do. and I'll cut your caro off If you don't." He scowled so horribly that Peggy gave n little cry of fear and pressed back into the croud. Lonesome Bear growled at the tramp and showed his teeth. The timnp prodded him cruelly with his stick, doubling him up. "Here, none of that!" spoke up a man. "That bear is more human than vou are. you brute. Clear out before I call the police." The word "police" had a magical effect on the tramp. Ile looked up and down the street as though frightened, then nurried away as fast as he could, drag ging Lonesome Bear behind h'm. "I'll save you.'' cried Peggy to Lone some Bear. L"ut how was she going to do It? Per haps the Birds could help her. The first thing was to find where the tramp was taking his captive. Trying to keep out of sight, like a detective, she followed Tags. The tramp was evidently very much afraid of the police, for he looked back frequently as he made straight for the country, and Peggy had to dodge quickly to avoid discovery. After a time they came to a woods, and here the tramp and bear disap peared from view. It was lonesome in the woods and scary. What if the tramp and his com panions were hiding behind a tree? Peggy stopped nnd listened. Yes. there was the sound of a breaking twig. She turned to run, only to find herself in the hands of two other tramps, with Tags right behind them. "Now wo have you. my pretty dancer." sneered Tags. "With a pair like you and the bear we'll soon grow rich. Bring her to camp." Peggy gave a wild shriek for helo. Instantly the tramps stuffed her hand kerchief into' her mouth and tied It fast with her hair ribbon. Like Lonesome Bear, Bhe was a helpless captive, per haps, like him, she would be Cariled far away from home and fannlv. There was no one to aid her. "Princess I'esgy. we'll save you," shrlekerl voices from the air. General and Mrs. Swallow were poised just abovo her. "Go tell Billy Belgium," shrilled (Jan-1 eral Swallow to his wire.

His experience In Germany has convinced him that life would not be worth living in a world dominated by the Hun. But Germany's brutality to helpless prisoners Is but a small part of her campaign nf frlghlfiilness. In every German regiment there Is what is known as a "Hellish Squad." Their Job is to poison wells, cut off the hands of chil dren and plant mines and bombs in villages. The War Department at Washington has taken precautions against American soldiers being caught by the snares raid traps which the "Hellish Squads" spread thickly through territory they arc forced to evacuate. A special brochure on this subject has been prepared by the In telligence division of the general staff for ofTlceis, who are to be held respon sible for the proper warning of their men.

The Indictment against the Hun Is "rowing dally : thero seems to be no limit to his infamy. Yet the worst hlnu he does is to inako brutal war against little children. I have told ycu about the little boy who had his hands cut off at the wrists, and will now re late a case even more horrible. Huns Destroy Baby's Sight 111 the little shell-torn village where my lint I cry was quartered when we first moved up to the front line lived a young French mother with her two-year-old son. Just before this son was born she was taken prisoner hy senile German cavalry men, and sent to a hospltul In Germany. When her child was born It was taken from her nnd returned to her tvyo weeks later, with its sight destroyed. "If your child had been a girl," ex plained the brutish German surgeon, "we would not havo done this. Uut we of the Fatherland must make sure that the French will never again take up arms ngalml Germany." With her face full of woe and tragedy, the mother toltl mo this story, nnd I rvvore vengeance against the Hun as the tale slipped from her trembling lips. Nestled in her lap as she gave me every detail was the living evidence ot the crime the poor little two-year-old yvho Is doomed to go through life sightless because of German kultur. If the Germans hopo to scare Ameri cans by their campaign of frlghtfulness they are going to be badly fooled. Every time a Yankee boy comes In contact with one of these cases, it simply wheto his desire lo kill another boche. I was discharged from the hospital January 2. 1918, and rejoined my bat tery. Tho boys were tickled to death to see me, and I was glad to get back, you can bet your bottom dollar on that. We returned to the front line January 22, and Jumped Into tho hottest fighting of the war. (CONTINUED TOMORROW) THE COINCIDENCE The Taller, "I reckon It be a very cuiiouii thing.
