GERMANS SEND 100 SHELLS EACH DAY INTO TOWN :W0 of 5,000 Population of Loss- 1 en-Gohelle Left; Many Butchered Loos-en-Gohelle. de Calais. France. Dec. IV.— correspondence of The Associated Press). —Three hun dred only of the 6,000 inhabitants of Loos-en-Gohelle were still in the town when the Germans took It in October last year. A hundred of them escaped through the French lines, the rest lived Just ten days short of a year under foreign domi nation and under the direct adminis tration of the Abbe Campagne, the j parish priest, made mayor in spite of himself by the German Kommanda tur. During all that time the town re ceived an average of 100 shells a day. Loos-en-Gohelle, which should not be confounded with Loos in the de partment du Nord near Lille, was on the line of the great race between the Germans and the allies toward the road to Calais and the sea last. year. The Uhlans came October 4. followed by four regiments of the Prussian Guard. A battalion of French In fantry sent against them four days later was obliged to retire before su perior numbers, after a violent light. The Germans then began to fortify the position and occupied it in force. The Abbe Compagne, who with 200 of his parishioners was liberated by the British troops in the recent bat tle of Loos, affirms that "the first measure of the Germans was to shoot seven civilians, among whom were two men 80 years old and one 70; the others were from 32 to 40. Four of the men were farmers; the reason for their execution was never made clear; what they did was simply this; they went out to feed their cows one night and while doing so were caught by the German sentinels ana held as prisoners until shot. These four were buried in the Rue Huilluch in graves dug by a miner that the Germans had left all night tied to a tree before forcing him to do the work. The two other victims were burled In a ditch in holes dug by the same miner. Held liesDonsible "The majority or the population remaining in Loos at the time were women, children, a few old men and six or seven valid men. besides a dozen or so of invalids. The men who were strong enough to work were em ployed by the Germans In dismount ing all the machinery of the mines, taking off the copper and loading it upon cars. The moment of their ar rival in Loos the Germans called upon me and demanded at the point of a revolver where the mayor and his as sistants were. When I told them that all the authorities of the town had left, they said: "You shall be the sole authority here; you shall be mayor. "I replied that my religious func tions In the eyes of French law were j Incompatible with municipal respon sibility. They declared that it did not matter and that they should hold me responsible for all that might happen in the village: tor any dis covery of concealed arms, for any telephone that might have been hid den, for any luminous signals, etc. I had no choice but to accept the dan gerous and I have done what I could for my compatriots during the period of occupation, with two Ger man soldiers at my door with fixed bayonets all the time acting as sent inels. I was unable to go out more than three times a week, Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, to visit the population, accompanied by a Ger man Interpreter. Levied Contributions "A short time after the Germans arrived they notified me that a con tribution of war of 7,vro francs had been levied upon the town of Loos. Since the population remaining In the town was mostly of the poorer class, I had no idea where I could raise such a sum. We finally decided to make it up from portions of the relief allow ance made by the director of the mines of Lens to the women of mobilized miners. We finished pay ing the 7,000 francs August 14, 1915. "During the long montns that we lived under German domination our life was most difficult; provisions be came rarer and rarer, untti at the be ginning of May we were on the point of dying of hunger. Each person had to live six days on the half of a loaf of bread weighing 3 pounds. The situation was desperate. I succeeded in collecting quietly a few bushels of wheat that remained in the neighbor ing granaries, and my parishioners ground It In their coffee mills. We lived on this until the American Re lief Commission finally came to our aid. Later, I was called to Lens, •vlth the mayors of the different towns of the region who had ar ranged to supply us with 190 grams of flour, sufficient to make 250 grams of bread, per day, per head. "Our difficulties, however, were not at an end; as soon as it became . known that we had flour with which ! to make good bread, we were obliged < to defend our improvised bakery In 4 the farm house of, Mademoiselle Petit 4 against the German soldiers. We j finally secured from the Kommanda- 1 tur a sign: 'Civil bakery; entrance ] prohibited to soldiers.' 4 "During the bombardments the 4 worst hours were from 10 o'clock in * the morning until noon and from 4 < o'clock in the afternoon until sunset. ! After the intensive bombardment of 4 May Bth, we were obliged to remove 4 the bakery to a cellar, where we lived 4 practically underground rrom that j time until began such a cannonading 1 as we, who had been within the J sound of bursting shells a year, had 4 not conceived possible. The sound of 4 that cannonading, however, was 4 agreeable to our ears because it was j not difficult for us to infer from it i that the French or liritlsn were fore- 4 lng the attack and that our delivery 4 was no doubt near." 4 WHY A WOMAN CAN OUTTALK A MAN 4 "A woman can talk longer than a 4 man, and does so because she uses 4 less force by a large percentage than i a man does," says the January Popular 1 Science Monthly.' "A German profes- 4 sor has proved by actual and very 4 delicate measurements that the bari- i tone singer uses far more energy than 3 either. The range of voice "differs 2 greatly, so the percentage varies to the 4 same extent, but as a general result It 4 was proved that a tenor uses only from 1 one-seventh to one-sixteenth of the 1 lung power of the baritone or bass. 2 The difference In the force used by 4 the contralto and soprano Is very 4 marked, and the contralto who sings J In very deep tones uses at least ten 1 times the force of the trilling soprano. 4 "The explanation is so simple that 4 it is surprising that it was not thought 4 of long ago. It has long been known • j that the tenor or soprano brings the 1 vocal chords together and keeps the Z edges vibrating only by the emission of 4 air. The bass or contralto leaves the 4 space between the chords wider open, j and has to vibrate much more of the 1 membranes to u considerably larger J [amount of air required." 4 HARRISBURQ TELEGRAPH | ■ ' The Money Back Jewelry Store Timely Hints to Busy Gift Buyers One of the best things we ever did for YOU, as well as ourselves, was to associate ourselves with the Jewelers' Co-Operative Syndicate of New York City—an organization made up of the leading jewelers of the country. •I Through its wonderful buying power we are in a position to buy absolutely the newest conceptions in jew elry—at a big saving in prices—and to pass them on to you in the same way. *1 Regardless of your purse limitations, you'll find something here appropriate for each person on your gift list at a price you can pay—and- which will be accompanied by our "unrestricted money-back guarantee" to sur round you with assurance of complete satisfaction. / N/ Diamonds, Mounted and Unmounted Rings s."> to 5500 ;h~ 2^#— 1 Q'W scarf Pins »»to sias Diamond Special UL, \ vyv iff JQ • tL A\ Brooches #5 to 5250 f■ \] "X/ «t) *I 1 i a L a y . or l es refined gilts at little cost, we i a A 'II .i , '".T have had made up especially for \\»S> Sf+K.
