HUNS SHOOT A FAMILY.
DAUGHTERS MURDERED AFTER SEEING PARENTS DIE.
Amsterdam, Monday.
The German authorities at Liege have prosecuted, tried, and sentenced to death [illegible]

at the time, a committee consisting of the most prominent members of the British colony, of which the British Consul General was the chairman and the Canadian General Commissioner of the vice chairman, was formed to deal with the matter. As the result of their action very fine premises have been secured at the Hotel Moderne, Place de la Republique which is eminently suitable for club purposes, and will accommodate several hundred soldiers.

It is proposed to provide in these premises the usual club facilities, such as billiards, card-room, refreshments, and entertainments. In addition a properly equipped Information Bureau will be at the disposal of soldiers on leave and which will furnish useful information concerning hotels and their prices, restaurants, theatres, and other places of amusement. 

The Paris Union Jack Club will supply a real want and there can be no doubt it will be greatly appreciated by the men. It cannot, however, be run without money and the committee therefore urgently appeals to the public for funds, feeling confident that they have only to bring the club to their notice for their appeal to meet with a ready response from all those who have the interest and welfare of the British soldier at heart.

In addition to the money the committee would be glad to receive the gift or loan of a piano, and English billiards table, gramophone and records, books, magazines and any other articles that would be of use.

Contributions may be addressed to the Hon. Treasurer of the Club. R. Toulmi[?] Esq., Lloyds Bank, Limited. 3, Place d[?] l'Opera, Paris, or to Francis Howard, Esq at the British Embassy, 39, Faubour Saint-Honore, Paris.
