“The Store That Satisfies”
1 HUNS USE SUSPENSE
AS WEAPON OP KUETUn
LONDON, Aug. y —The “Ame
Beige," myRterlouM little Belgian
paper which the Herman government
in Belgium repeatedly tried to sup
press, continues to make its appear
ance.
A recent copy of the paper, which
i is published secretly, received here,
contains a story of another instance
of Hun brutality.
Of nineteen Belgians tried at Char
leroi on a ( barge of furnishing infor
mation to the allies, six were sen
1 teneed to be shot.
Families of the entire nineteen were
| summoned and told that six of the
nineteen would be executed, but the
officials refused to state which were
to be the victims
“The sentence was not even made;
known to the nineteen." states tin*
Ame Beige.' In \ain did their fain -I
lilies beg and implore the Hermans'
; to tell; they were allowed to \isit
the prisoners, and they wept and la
I mooted. Tin* bitter truth would br|
easier than this agonizing uncertainty-I
“Wives and children stood all night I
| at the gates of the prison, alternating j
I between infinite despair and senseless
! hope At dav n six were taken before,
| a tiring squad and executed."

LORD’S POUTED COOED
NOT PISS THIS CENSOR
WASHINGTON. Auk 9 —A well
known senator annoys his colleagues
sometimes because in bis desire to
make legislation thoroughly good he
insists on many amendments During
discussion in committee recently, this
senator, whose name is not Brown,
insisted on amending and amending,
practically without end
Finally, somewhat exasperated, a
colleague said to him, “Brown, I be
lieve if the l.ord's Prayer were being
discussed here you would want to
amend It "
Brown replied:
"Yea. I would I would change the
clause, 'Dead us not into temptation*
to read ‘Give us strength to resist
temptation.' **
