GERMAN CORPSE FACTORY.
PARTIAL EXPLANATION. LONDON, Oct 6. Mr. Perceval Phillips writes: The gruesome discovery of portions of a human "body in a cauldron in an underground cook-house at St. Quentin led to reports that a corpse factory ■had been found in full operation, but it seems there is ho doubt the bodies strewn about were f broken by the explosion, At the same time, there Ta ‘no explanation forthcoming of the presence elsewhere in the same tun- 1 nei of human remains carved up witn the skill- of butcher surgeons, and doctors state they have been dissect*ed for days, possibly weeks. The tunnel is a labyrinth in tho most wonderful German shelter on the "West front. The original subterranean galleries were begun in 1789, and continued from time to time.
