Valor Suitably Rewarded By James L. Ford. N° since the sacking of Louvain has scholarly Germany been so profoundly moved as it was on the occasion of the distribution, from the august hands of the Kaiser, of the -medals and decorations with which He has been graciously pleased to commemorate the introduction of German culture into His new province of Belgium through the medium of Krupp guns, instead of by lectures and text-books, The ceremonies were of compelling interest and significance. In the bril- liant group that surrounded His Majesty were representatives of sci- ence, scholarship and the arts, as well as of both branches of the service of arms, The walls of the great rathskeller were hung with crutches and blood-stained _ bandages—fitting emblems of modern Pan-Germanism. Hanging over the Imperial Head was a huge flower-bedecked Dove of Peace, from which all the dynamite had been carefully withdrawn. In a brief four-hour speech His Majesty expressed His complete satis- faction with the new method of in- culcating knowledge, as compared with the old, and declared that the exploits of His jolly, good-natured troops made Fontenoy with its “Gen- tlemen of the Guards, fire first!” seem absurdly French. “Our statecraft,”, He said, “has shown the world how to convert a solemn word of honor—that is to say, a German solemn word of honor— into a mere scrap of paper by an alchemy of which Germany alone amongst the nations of the earth re- tains the secret. Our splendid system of espionage locates the maternity hospital so that German science may drop the bomb of culture with the deadliest accuracy. My artillery arm of the military service deserves the thanks of the nation for destroying cathedrals dedicated to the blasphem- ous worship of other gods than Me. My cavalry has covered itself with glory. Its famous charge on the kindergarten at Liége will never be forgotten. Eons hence warm Ger- man hearts will thrill at the thought of that splendid charge, sabres drawn, the trot changing to a gallop, as the troopers hurled .themselves upon the foe, and, unscared by the shower of slates, pencils and rulers, put all to the sword in the name of God and other tutelary deities and the Fatherland!” In awarding the clasp and medal of the Iron Axe of the First Order of Merit to the soldier who had proved his marksmanship by hitting a baby in 963 == DIAMONDS== From JASON WEILER & SON, Boston, Mass.

The child might have lived to bear arms against the herland. The decoration of the Order of the Prussian Ghoul was bestowed on the officer who brought in the greatest number of arms, hands and ears clipped from the peasantry, His Majesty was graciously pleased to express His approval of the ex- traordinary work accomplished by the new twenty-inch gun, affectionately known to His jolly, good-natured comicbooks.com
