of Military Decorations
St Petersburg. Russia. Aug. :.
German and Austrian sovereigns and
princes have been dismissed from
honorary colonelshlps in Russian regi-

sian decorations.
This has- never before been done in
any war. The emperor has positively
forbidden Russian officers to wear
German or Austrian decorations. These
extreme measures were decided on at a
special council held in Moscow and are
dne to the alleged inhuman treatment
of Russian subjects by Germans and
Austrlans and to the indignities said to
have been inflicted on members of the
Russian Imperial family."

German treatment of Americans who
were stranded In Germany at the open--ing
of the war says:
"There are many Indications that

strenuous efforts in this direction were
reserved for the United States as rep-
resented by-Americans stranded within
Germany's borders.
"So soon as the panlo that followed
the outbreak of the war had subsided
elaborate orders were issued that every
courtesy be shown Americans. All this
week special trains have been running
for their benefit from Munich. Frank-

mans bringing hot coffee and other re-
freshments and by others waving the

"North of Neidenburg Sunday and

river Vistula. There they will find
strong German defences. It is reported
that the Russians on Monday reached
