From the people at Tourcoing and
at Roubaix I gather that the condi-
tions there wereprecisely the same
as at Lille, the same abuse of "bons
de requisition," the same stealing and
fines, the same horrible deportation
of women at night.
Order for Deportation.
I have seen a copy of the official
proclamation regarding the deporta-
tion. It narrates all the horrible pro-
cedure of families having to assemble
at their doors and "an officer will
then definitely decide which persons
shall be conducted to the assemiily
place." I have told of the hideous
system of procedure: "Anybody who
attempts to disobey will be pitilessly
punished." Nothing Germany has
done will remain a deeper stain to

had a terrible time. It seems without
doubt that among' the poor people
some actually died of starvation. An
Englishman named Richardson, a cot-
ton spinner, who refused to make
clothes for the German Government,
was sent to prison in a Baltic fort-
ress for six months, He was kept in
loathsome quarters, but there is tie
much to tell of the dreadfulness and
brutality on one side and heroism on
the other, that the tale would never

Surely mankind will never permit its

A negro soldier now on the western
front captured' a German major. On
his way back to headquarters 'to re-
port his charge the soldier made his
captive carry his trapping and bag-
gage, prodding him along gently with
his gun.

Crossed by Many Warriors.
In the destinies of Europe the
Rhine, says Hugo, 'Blas a sort of
providential signification. It is the
great moat which divides the north
from the south. The Rhine for thirty
ages has seen the forme and reflected
the shadows of almost all the war-
riors who tilled the old Continent
with that share which they called the
sword. Caesar crossed the Rhine in
going to the south; Attila crossed it
when descending to the north. It
was here that Clovis gained the Bat-
tle of Tolbiac; and that Charlemagne
and Napoleon figured. . For
the thipker, who is conversant with
history two great eagles are perpetu-
ally hovering over the Rhine -that of
the Roman legions and that of the
Freed, regiments. The Rhine
bore at one time upon its sur-
face bridges of boats, over which the
mulles of Italy, Spain and France
poured into Germany."
And the same writer adds further
in his article that some day "it shall
become thr grand question of Eur-
ope." This prophecy is now at its
fulfilment, for the Rhine is now. or
sho='tly will be, the grarrd question
of 60111'1 civilization.
glance Ostend looks as if it had been
roughly handled, but the damage is
very small, and Ostend can soon be
as gay as ever.
Ostend Crowds Sing All Night.
She was gay enough last night.
One of the last acts of the Germans
before retiring, as in other cities, was
to wreck the plants and sever the
com)ectiona in the gas, electric light
and water service, so that Ostend is
without light except Iamps and can-
dles. Only rain water is available for
domestic use or in case of fire. Last
evening it rained incessantly, but in
spite of the darkness the wet crowds
with improvised bands swept through
the chief thoroughfares all night
singing the Belgian anthem and the
"Marseillaise,"

115 South Second Street, St. Louis.
1n the six clays it lasted sales totaled
$6,004,000, or an average of•more than
$1,000,000 daily.
The week also saw the purchase by
the fur men of Liberty bonds to the
amount of 52,600,000, and generous
donations to the Red Cross, Knights
of Columbus, Jewish Welfare and
other war relief funds.- Ia. addition,
transactions among the buyd:4s totaled
more than $2,000,000 .ind i;4-Je esti-
mated that more than,$10,O0 000 s$61Its
involved in the week's 'Lading.
Sixty-four kinds of fine ?own
to
dealers from every part of the world,
were listed in the 360 -page catalogue
of the sale. They comprised more than
3,500,000 pelts, divided into 110,000
lots for the convenience of buyers.
Every state in the Union, every pro-
vince in Canada, and twenty-five
in 1
foreign countries les contributed to the
catalogue. Each pelt had to be check-
ed, entered, graded and catalogued.
St. Louis gradings and lottings are
quoted and accepted as standard
wherever furs are bought and sold.
All Furs in Demand.
The demand for all kinds of furs was
unprecedented during the entire week,
a demand that -was voiced by dealers
from all parts of the world and from
every class of trade and many varie-
ties sold for record prices. Muskrat, a
fur that sold a few years ago for a few
cents a pelt, sold as high as $2,25,while
a record price of $11 for skunk was
reached. Another fur that sold higher
than ever before was lynx, the record
skin bringing $86. It was later sold
for the benefit of the Red Cross and
brought $1,250. Fisher sold as higb as
5102 and marten at a top price of $81,
Buyers and brokers say the record
prices made in all but two or three of
the furs may not stand long, They
look for prices to increase rather than
to diminish. The labor situation was
expected to hold prices down a bit, but
evidently manufacturers mast have
settled the labor question more or less
to their own satisfaction before com-
ing to St. Louis, for the manufacturers
were well and ably represented by
large and important orders. 1llost of
"thein are fair too busy in their fac-
tories at this juncture to journey west-
ward, but the local brokers took good
care of their wants in all respects.
And, incidentally, the rise of the fur
broker Is coincident with the rise of
the St. Louis market. Whether it were
the market that made the broker, or
vice versa, were negligible. Sufficient
it is to know that whore the big mar-
ket Is there the big brokers gather
together.
The next sales are announced for
January 27, April 28 and September 16,

like, for corns will never again send
electric sparks of pain through you,
according to this Cincinnati authority.
lie says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re•
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at 0000 and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding tissue.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from one's foot.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.
