L" the Eultof OF Inc Evening star:
The parallel which your correspondent in
a recent issue draws between the condi-
ticns of the Paris treaty and those which
Germany imposed on France in 1871 rests
on basis which does not brook any COM
parison. In motive and object, in conduct
ard result, these two wars are entirely diff
ferent from one another. Ever since 1867
Napoleon had been looking out for some
casus belli, which he so badly wanted to
add fresh glory to his shaky throne, and
II was only after frivolous and repeated
ploVocauons, and, at last, after her veneer
able old king mad been personally insulted
by the French ambassador, Count Bene-
detu, that Prussia accepted the challenge
ana went to war. Now, the scale of this
campaign in France was very different
from what the Spansh-American war has
BEEN Millions of soldiers were in the field.
in the single battle of Gravelotte, for in
stance, more combatants were killed than
the United States ever had landed in Cuba
IN the recent war. Naturally, these ire
mendous proportions of the war as we'll
as the French provOcaton, were not with
out influence when the conditions of peace
We're shaped. And yet, the five millions of
francs which We're demanded as an indem-
nifty could be paid by France without diff
Guilty, being, as she was. and still is one
OF the richest countries of Europe The
TWO provinces of Alsace and Lorraine
whose surrender was stipulated had for
nearly a thousand years, formed part of
the Old German empire, from which they
had been wrested by Louis the Fourteenth's
outrageous wars of devastation
AS to the alleged shameful conduct of
the German officers in France, it appears
nom your correspondents description that
she has heard but side of the story
and, even If she did not expressly tell us
so, the sentimental exaggeration would be-
tray the French and feminine origin of the
tale. Well. war is war, and it is not it's
greatest calamity if the elegant parlors
of well-to-do ladies ruined by billeted
soldiery of an invading army.
But 1t Is calumny, pure and simple, to say
that in many cases French ladies were
greatly pressed for money by German Off
GERS, and l defy anybody to adGuce the
slightest evidence for this grave reproach
hurled at a corps of officers whose high
moral and social standing is unparalleled.

Cleaning Of the Snow.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
If you don't object l would like to register
a kick in print one of the 5000 persons
who, it is estimated are to pay a fine of 81
each for failing to remove snow from the
sidewalk in time, etc. l have nothing to
say against so just and proper a law, and
whenever 1 fail to live up to the spirit and
intent of it, l willing to pay the 81
My kick is coming to me for other reasons
They are these: l am told this last snow
storm ceased some time in the early hours
of Sunday morning. 1t therefore was my
duty to have gotten up about the break of
day on Sunday, gone down town (aS the
snow complained of was in front of my
place of busineSs) and Shoveled off the Of
Tending snow to have complied with the law
which limits the removal to four hours af-
ter the fall ceases. l did not do this how
ever, and right there 1 made my mistake
and lost capital chance to work off some
indigestion, but l did go down the next day.
Monday, and worked hard at that snow,
which mad become Ice in the meantime
Our store porter had failed u.s. consequently
nothing else was left but to go at it myself
Notwithstanding all this, an officer came
in yesterday and presented me with "a
formal warrant and directed me to send 81
down to the station house, and ut would be
all right Now, what / want to kick about
is this: Why should 1, who made a worthy
effort to remove the snow although the
officer did not recognize the effort as a case
of ''shoveling snow" be fined, when the CITY
authorities have compelled me to wade
through the snow and slush along one side
of the reservation on Massachusetts avenue
from lotn to nth streets, which remained
there until it melted away? / walked along
the street in question, four times each daV
and effort was made to clean the snow
from the sidewalks around this reservation
and l have no doubt the same conditions
existed elsewhere in the city. D. G. P.
