HUNS BOAST OF j
ATROCITIES; WARN
OTHER COUNTRIES
Circulars Distributed in Spain
Toll of Churches Destroyed
For War Purposes
Washington. May 9.—Teutonic!
frightfulness as practised in France
and Belgium has been made the sub- j
ject of a German warning to neutral i
nations of the fate which they may '
expect if they take up arms against
the central powers.
"If there are any still thinking of i
siding witn the allies, let them take j
warning from the fate of others." !
says the warning, it is in the form of
a circular, which recited the amount I
of booty seized in France and Bel
glum. the number of churches dam-1
aged and destroyed the money wrung
from the stricken inhabitants and.!
finally, the deliberate mistreatment
of English prisoners of war.
German propagandists have flood- ;
ed Spain with this document printed j
in Spanish, and copies have come,
into the possession of the state de
partment.
Having established its German
origin, the department last night
made public this translation:
"Besides an untold amount of war
material captured on the battlefield, i
the Germans have taken possession j
of incalculable booty in France and
Belgium, including:
"High-grade watches. •41": aver-'
age watches. 5,016; underwear, 18.-i
073: embroideries and women's,
handkerchiefs. 15.132: umbrellas)
and parcels. 3.705: silver spoons. 1,-i
876: bottles of champagne. 523.000.
Thew figures show a large increase
over those of the campaign against
France in 1870-71.
"In Belgium, besides many art;
treasures, they have confiscated old
paintings valued at 3.000,000 pesatas. j
"Due to the treachery of Cardinal j
Mercier and other priests, who did i
their utmost to stir the priests
against the goodhearted German sol
diers. they were forced to teach a j
severe lesson to the Belgian and
French Catholics.
"Cathedrals destroyed. -4: rendered
unserviceable. 8; churches destroyed.
27; rendered unserviceable, 34: to-1
tal. 73. ,
"In Poland, also a large number
of churches have been destroyed for
military reasons. The figures con-1
cerning these have not yet been pub
lished.
"As a result of the stupid stub
borness of the Belgian people in :
continuing the struggle after their
bloody and final defeat on the battle
field. the German officers were
forced, against their will, to impose
punishments on many rich individ-;
uals and wealthy cities.
"This has contributed the follow- 1
ing amounts to the German treas- j
ury:
"Punishments. 87.000.000 pesatas:
securities. 13,000.500 pesatas: repris- ;
als. 15,750,000 pesatas; forced con
tributions. 4,320.850 pesatas; total,
120.071.350 pesatas.
"This amount includes a fine of •
15.000 pesatas imposed on the Al-j
satian children who insist on speak
ing the French language, and refuse
to study the beautiful German lan-}
guage. These statistics are a most
useful warning to the neutral ioun
tries.
"If there are any still thinking of;
siding with the allies let them take|
warning from the fate of the others."!
It is claimed in this document'
that more than 50,000 British have

! DEAR MISS FAI.SFAX:
A stenographer in a very respect-i
able office has given one or two:
lunches at her offlre for the employer !
and two or three ico-workers of both !
sexes. Everyone contributed for the i
food and other little necessities. They f
were held on Saturday afternoons [
! after the regular hours. This i
young lady wishes, by the suggestion |
•of the employer. )to have another
I luncheon to which some of the busi- [
l ness friends of her employer, work- '
ling in the same buuding. shall be in-!
vited. It is hoped (these friends will |
! benefit the business.' This time, how- |
i ever, dancing is wanted, for which one I
■if the young ladies {will bring a small £
phonograph. Some games will also,
! be played. I
Everything pertaining to the for- •
iner luncheons was innocent, dainty }
and delightful. All/ parties concerned \
respect one another greatly. I)o you}
see any harm in tlt*> plan?
> H. 7. ;
The idea seems Jo have been very I
jolly and pleasant; when it started.!
; Now. I don't see .why anyone need I
read evil into its next development'
I and > manifestation. The fact that I
I business friends of,the employer are i
coming instead of merely employes I
and co-workers may be a bit out of.
the ordinary. Th<- point is this: The >
world, is run on a snobbish basis and'
when men of the employer class pay
social attention to their bookkeepers I
.and stenographers. Mrs. Grundy lifts j
; her eyebrows. Itlseems to me. how-,
ever, that any dignified, well-behaved
girl cati afford to meet her employer
i and his friends on'a basis of equality
iat least once. If the. party is as de- ]
lightful and dignified as were the I
previous ones, then it Justifies itself. |
' If it is in any way unpleasant, a sen- <
sible. well-behaved girl can manage
j to call the meeting to order at once
i and refuse ever to have anything to •
jdo with another such party. All of us
nowadays are a little too much given
to looking for trouble.

I supplies, Hymen pulled a bone when 1
1 he persuaded him to slip the golden j
I band on the linger of Mrs. Caroline !
18. Weaver. April 28, 1906. When a
' man marries he takes unto himself j
I a wife, not a whole flock of rela-|
fives, is Weaver's contention us pre-j
sented in an answer to his wife's ;
separation suit.
Justice Greenbuum decided that |
he would have to pay $25 a week all- ]
mony and sllO counsel fee pend- j
ing the trial. However, Raymond .
had his say just the same.
| For instance, he announced that j
I his wife was older than he. He ad- I
i mits that, on occasion, he sips of
the flowing bowl, but he scoffs at
j his wife's suggestion that he wrote
| her a letter urging that she sue for
! divorce and state in her complaint
j that he was one of the best pals
{ Bacchus ever had.
Weaver complains that his wife i
| burdened him with a mother-in-law,
' a brother-in-law, a sister-in-law, a
! father-in-law, a second cousin-in
j law, and a band of other relatives
] in-law.
Found He .Married a Group
Weaver's affidavit is its own edi
j torial on the felicities and domes
ticities of marriage.
| "At the time of the marriage, de-
I ponent was a very young man, very
| much younger than the lady. She
] was seven years older. At the time j
jof the marriage deponent knewj
I nothing of his bride's family his- j
! torv and antecedents or position in
| life, having met only her mother j
and visited them in Stamford, Conn.
"The marriage was brought about
through a friend of the bride, an
elderly woman, who left no stone
unturned to rope in the deponent.
| He found he had married the whole
] family began to appear on the hor
| and later other members of the
] familyl began to appear on the hor
i izon and seemed to enjoy visiting
I us. They visited us to such an ex
jtent that during thirteen years of
j our married life we were never alone
i in our home."
And here comes the rub—or one
I of the rubs:
"My good wife always deported
; herself toward me as a mother
j would toward a son she was fond of
I particularly in continuously and
habitually remonstrating with me
because, in my-business as a' sales-
I man, I had acquired most of the
vices that go with the business.
While my wife wanted me to spend
jthe full returns that were produced
jby me through my convivial asso
ciations, she insistently pointed out
I the error of my ways in manner so
| kindly, but none the less inoppor
( fjunely, that I was almost dis
tracted."
Says He Has Paid Penalty
Weaver insists in his document
that he was "always temperate and
moderate." And, he demands of the
court, "am I to be penalized because
I find that I can no longer live with
my wife and retain my reason?"
,1 He continues: "True, I have
i sincerely hoped that my wife would
see fit to get a divorce. After thir
teen years of reflection on my early
| indiscretions. I cannot hut feel thsrt
: I have paid the penalty—all the
j penalty that a good woman could
; require of her victim. And my wife
i i is a good yvoman.
"But she is suffering from hallu
i cination. She says that I would
I marry again.' That is tommy-rot.
jl have neither the means nor the
desire to embark on another matri
, monial venture. Do not let me sug
jgest for an instant that I have re
flections of an unkindly nature to
| make upon this lady.
"For thirteen years I have sup
• j ported and maintained her. The
;j property she holds is the best tvi

I will not and does not say that I
