GERMAN EFFICIENCY CHEATS
GRAVE; DEAD SOLDIERS USED
TO MAKE WAR MUNITIONS,
PIG FOOD AND FERTILIZERS
By HENRY WATKRSON
The London Times published a few
days ago the story that the German
dead are stripped, bound in bundles
of four, with iron wire, hauled to wait
ing railroad trains anil shipped to a
reducing plant, where the tats and oils
are recovered for chemical uses, in
cluding the making of explosives. 1 he
bones are ground for fertilizer and pig
feed. To many persons the tale was
incredible; a mere column of horror
to entertain the idle reader or vent
British spleen against the Germans.
The Times now comes forward with
a more detailed story of the intensive
treatment of the German soldier, to
the end that the empire may profit
by using him after he is killed as well
as while he is alive.
American consuls formerly in Ger
many are quoted by the Times as say
ing that the Germans have been for
some time making nitroglycerine and
obtaining the essentials of other ex
plosives from the corpses of soldiers
killed in battle. The German censors
now are permitting their press to re
port the rendering of the corpses, as
an example of the high efficiency of
Germany, the Times says. Belgian
newspapers have before printed the
news that the trains laden with bun
dles of corpses are dispatched to Ger
olstein, each car labeled “D. A. V. G.,“
meaning “Deutschem Abtalls \ er
werttungskesellschaft,” which trans
lated. is “The German Offal Utiliza
tion Company, Limited.” The factory
is situated 1.000 yards from a rail
, road which connects St. Vith, near the
Belgian frontier, with Gerolstein. The
site of the plant is in a forest in the
little frequented district of Kifel,
southwest of Coblentz. A spur leads
to the factory, which is surrounded by
charged wires and operated by work
ers that are not permitted to leave the
place.
Photographed facsimiles of a news
article in the Lokal Anzeiger of Ber
lin are presented by the Times to con
vince the incredulous reader. The
Lokal Anzeiger refers to the “corpse
exploitation establishment” using the
German term “kadaververwertunbsa
nstall ” and says:
“The fats here are turned into lu
bricating oils and everything else is
ground down in the mill, the bones
into powder which is used for mixing
with pigs’ food and as manure. Noth
ing can be permitted to go to waste.”
Shipping corpses of soldiers to a
rendering plant may be revolting, but
cannibalism has been practiced by
ship-wrecked sailors to whom it would
have been revolting in circumstances
less uncompromising. And that Ger
many, in her isolation and desperation,
might turn even to cannibalism might
be conceivable to persons whose imag
inations are less developed than that
of Poe in the conception of horrors.
Assuredly the use of the dead sol
dier—-or soldiers and civilians—for
making explosives and fertilizers—is
not wholly incredible when we consid
er the military teaching upon which
the foundations of the Prussian hege
mony rest and upon which the in
spiration which resulted in this war
was fed.
The German soldier, who is used in
the battle line living, and in the ren
dering fat dead, is so emplo>ed for
the glory of the kaiser, who agrees

CAPT. NOLAN IS
ORDERED SOUTH
Capt. Robert M. Nolan, officer in
charge of this division of the Wash
ington-Aluska military cable and
telegraph system, located at \ aldez,
hxs received orders to report at Se
attle for further orders and will leave
for that place on the next boat.
These orders are not unexpected,
Capt. Nolan having been instructed1
some time since to this effect, al
though the date had not been fixed.
Capt. Nolan has held the present
position for something over a y-'ur.l
during which time he has made a host
of warm friends who will regret to
learn of his early departure, and who
will wish him every success in his ne w
field.

Fred Laubner, who has varied min

started on the big tunnel contract for
the Gold Cord Mining company next
week. He has a complete outfit of
up-to-date mining equipment such as
air drills, etc., that he brought in with j
him on the Farragut. Laubner stays,
that this will be the banner season
for the Willow creek district and h«
looks for heavy investments of out-1

country has been drawn into the
world-wide war.
