Parts BeD'lk The Home Concord, of Hart Schaffner Marx Clothes North Carolina Says Russians Did Worse in Russia Than They Did in Belgium.

Washington, D. June 5 JFright-f ul Russian atrocities in East Prussia are detaailed in a German white book made public by Ambassador von Bernstorff. here yesterday. The horrible deeds which the Germans are accused of having committed in Belgium last summer could not exceed the revolting excesses, destruction and tortures which are charged against the soldiers of the czar. The document consists of an introductory memorial summarizing the atrocities and 80 sworn affidavits of victims and other witnesses.

It is being communicated to all neutral governments. The Muscovites are accused of turning East Prussia into "a picture of hopeless devastation." demolishing about 100,000 buildings, carrying away an enormous amount of loot, killing non-combatants wholesale, in cluding one little girl of 2 or 3 years; torturing and mutilating a whole family, and bestially attacking girls who were no more than children, old women; and women just about to become "Permated by Spirit of Savagery." The introduction to the white book says: "The Russiantroops have commit? ted atrocities during this present war which are incompatible with the laws of humanity and the customes of civilized nations, and which evidence the. utter barbarism of their warfare. These atrocities are directed against the' peaceful inhabitants of the occu- i -i A ueu uerman territory, as well as against those German soldiers who opposed them in lawful combat, and who had the misfortune of being taken prisoners by them." Thousands Carried Off and Killed. "The whole world knows that, owing to the hnrhnr i muthnda narfsTa employed by the Russians, East Prussia, once a flourishing country, in parts now presents a picture of hopeless devastation, and that the peaceful inhabitants are forced to flee and leave all their belongings in order to save themselves from assault and It has been officialls ascertained that at the time of the first, as well as of the second invasion, thousands of men, women and "children were carried off, thousands were murdered, about 20,000 buildings were demolished or burned down, and that during the 'second invasion alone, and destroyed.

The last Russian expedition against Memel likewise was nothing more han a savage raid, accompanied by atrocities of every description. The depositions contained in the supplements give an eloquent but ghastly proof of the acts of violence anjcrulty, which individual inhabitants suffered at the hands of the Russians. Goods of Poor Stolen. "xfesmovable goods of the poor as wen as oi tne wealtny were stolen, looted, or wantonly destroyed by the Russian troops in every conceivable way. Cattle and provisions were taken without payment or promissory certificates.

and women had to give the covetous soldiers their last coppers. The dwellings were searched often by one division of troops after the otfier, each soldier taking whatever took his fancy. Finally, homes, farm buildings and provisions were, without reason or purpose, destroyed by fire. The population, including women and "children, were ill-treated on empty pretexts or without any reasons whatsoever, although they did everything to satisfy the de-fiirpa rtf the Russian snldiprs as to lodgings and food. This jll treatment was partially characterized by exquisite crulty; for instance the male population of an entire community, the judge not excepted, were beaten With whins and threatened with death.

Fugitives were shot down without further ado. Above all, however, numerous citi-zense were murdered without any cause, often under terrible tortures or in presence of their relatives. Young men were shot, not because they had committed something, but because they were liable to military service. A transport of fugitives were suddenly attacked; the men were separated from the women and killed without procedure any kind. To Recruit Colorado Milita.

Denver, June 5. Acting upon instructions received today from the War Department, General Chase will proceed immediately to equip and recruit to its full strength the Colorado National Guard. He" says it will require, from three "to six months to train the men for active service. -In case of war Colorado would be required to'put 3,100 men in the field in answer to. the first call.

This number would include" one regiment of infantry, 1,800 men; four troops of cavalry, 401 men; three batteries of artillery, 432 men; one company of engineers, 164 men; one field hospital corps 67 men, and one signal corps of 75 men. War Orders Are Helping But Business Is Not Yet Normal. Washington, D. Jone 5. General business and bonking conditions throughout the country, as observed by: federal reserve agents "of the2 regional; banks, are set forth in the monthly bulletin of the Federal Reserve board issued today.

Improvement was reported by most of the agents. Others noted that the demand from Europe for war supplies was keeping many industries busy. U' The Richmond agent reported "very little change in general business conditions during May." "Hope for the future," he added, "Has been increased in the presence of timely rains and the knowledge that the close of the planting season shows that there's material diversification, especially in Sections heretofore almost entirely given over to cotton. The recent softening in the price 4 of this has somewhat, checked liquidation, which however; had proceeded far enough to be of great help not only to the debtors thmeelves, but to their creditor jobbers and merchants. Atlanta reported conditions "generally "The outlook is brighter than at any time since the European war began," said the agent.

A lighter demand for eney was ref ported by the -Dallas -agent; "There is agenerar reelinguof 6pti mism in all lines of busmess in thii district," said the Boston a slight improvement most lines." The New York agent reported a rej duction of unemployment -and said 1 "The manufacture of war supplies continues above capacity and is -extending to plants normally -otherwise engaged thus partly: offsetting- slack domestic trade.0 The Philadelphia agent reported that war orders and' their -infkmeci were helping many industries. "On the whole" in this district business however, is hesitating and concerned over the said -the-agent. "Improvement of conditions in district No. 4," said the Cleveland report; "as reported in April, is being held, but no additional advance is 4 Chicago reported improvement in general "General business conditions irt this district," reported Louna agent, ''while still mormal, in dicate a continued though slow vim provement," ''Satisfactory agrieukureceonditlbni in the nortwest were-reported Minneapolis agent.

San Francisco reported a "general feeling of mild Raise Infertile Eggs. It is conservatively estimated i that there is an annual loss in eggs in this country of $45,000,000. Practically all of this enormous loss is sustained by the farmers of: this country, as it is on the general farms that the great part of this loss can be prevented by the production of infertile eggs, which are laid by. hens that do' not have a male bird with The male bird has no influence whatever on the number of eggs laid.
