"These documents, ten in number, show that the destruction and assas sinations which have taken place have been systematic and performed in ac cordance with orders fro mthe offi cers and not as the result of an acci dental lack of discipline.

By Germans Themselves. “Attention Is called, as regards such deeds, to two texts: Article 111 of the convention of The Hague, which was proposed by the German delegates themselves, states that he belligerents who might cause such destruction as those mentioned above would be boumi to indemnify the interested parties, and would be responsible for any actß committed by members of his army. “In the second place, even if civil ians had taken arms upon the inva sion of French territory by the Ger mans, which was nowhere the case, they would have been within their rights, and the killing of them whole sale would have been undefendable; for article IV of the same convention reserves to the population of a non occupied territory the right, on the approach of the enemy, to sponta neously take arms and repel the in vading troops. “Appended to this convention, be sides the signature of the United States. France and many other coun tries, Is to be found that of Germany.” line with their usual progressive pol icy, and in spite of the present low prices of petroleum products, they have Issued Instructions to purchase one bale at 10 cents a pound at every point In the ootton states where they have a distributing station. This will mean the purchase of 1,000 hales." This company is the first of the oil companies of the country to Join the movemen' and its purchase is one of the 41ggest of all the concerns which have bought cotton. Another Mg boost was given the "Buy-a-Bale” movement Thursday by the announcement that he Acme Packing Company, meat packers of Chicago, will buy 100 bales in Texas and about the same number of other cotton states, making a total purchase of 600 or more bales.

Exhaustive Judi cial Inquiry. Berlin, (by wireless to SayviHe, L. I.) TrThe German government has ordered that an exhaustive judicial Inquiry be made at once by an Independent lawyer into the destruction of the Belgian town of Louvain. An Inquiry already made Is declared to have proved that on a sig nal given near the Louvain station by red and green rockets the civilian popu lation began firing at the German troops. The German press formally protests against the bombardment of the open town of Dar-Es-fealam, German P7ast by a British cruiser. The Petit Parisien says that the rrench commander-in-chief has been compelled to send back the African troops transported to franee because they were not fitted out for a winter campaign. The strengthening of the trench forces In Morocco also is re peated to be necessary. Postpone Payment. The French government has ordered the Credit Lyonnalse to postpone the payment of its half yearly dividend. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Deutsche Bank it was stated that the sound economic structure and the splendid economic mobilization would enable the Germans to fight through the ■war until Germany's future politically was assumed. General Beers, in explaining his resig nation as commander-in-chief of the British forces in South Africa, is re ported to have declared that even a part of the British cabinet was not con vinced that war with Germany was Jus tified. England, he said, repeatedly vio lated the independence of other nations and perpetrated in the South African war every possible atrocities. Courtmartial PrL.ce Radzlwfli.

There has been published a despatch from the London Times saying that res toration of the Rheims Cathdrael is pos sible in spite of the considerable dam age resulting from the German bom bardment. Telegrams received here from Vienna declare 30,000 Servians invaded Austria. They entered Slavonian territory and built fortifications. The Austrian troops retreated intentionally. Suddenly they attacked the invaders from two sides near Jakovo, and took 7,000 prisoners. Many Servians were killed while others were drowned in the River Save. UNITED STATES PASSPORTS. Washington, D. C.—An explanatory statement of the extent to which Am erican passports are recognized abroad was issued today by the state depart ment. "The extent to which an American passport held by a naturalized citizen of this country is recognized in liis native land," it said, "depends principally upon whether that vountry has concluded a treaty of naturalization with the United States, although, under the law of this country, no distinction Is made between native and .naturalized American citi zens so far as their right to protection is concerned. The United States has trea ties of naturalization with the following European countries: Austria-Hungary, Belgium. Denmark.
