GERMANS GOOD TO YANKEES.
Refugees Have Only Praise For
Treatment-French at Frank
fort Put up Battle When
Caught Spying.

Rotterdam, Aug. 22-(via Lon
dOn)-A thorough canvass of
Americans here show that the
Germans have been universally
courteous to them. The hard
ships undergone by citizens of the
United States have been due in all
cases to conditions attending mo-
bilization, the lack of facilities
for travel and at first a reStric-
tiOn of the hours during which
the streets could be frequented.
A week after the opening of the
hoStilitieS the latter restraint was
eliminated.
The government took measures
not alone looking to the safety of
Americans, but also to their COM
fort. Those hardest hit by the
war are American students in
Germany who have found diff
Guilty in getting their usual remit
tanceS. Every measure has been
taken to help.
Saw Airship Brought Down.
DR.. w. Kantor, of Detroit, who
travelled widely in Germany dur
ing the mobilization, stated today
that Americans could not have re-
ceived better treatment in their
own country. While inspecting
passports and baggage officials
were courteous and in many cases
apOlOgized for the inconvenience.
DR.. Kantor was in Frankfort
on-Main on August 2, when the
authorities discovered a French
aerOplane over the city. He said
the airShip was fired upon and
Killed. Inc same night sparks
were discovered issuing from the
top of a house in Frankfort. In
veStigation showed that the sparks
were caused by a wireless appar-
atuS.
Eighteen Frenchmen who were
found in the house, put up a spi-
rited fight with revolvers, but
were overcome by a rain of bull
lets. 1t is believed that the aero
plane took a message as it was
lowering near the houe at night.
The German authorities suppress
Sed the story but DR.. Kantor'S ver-
sion had been fully corroborated.
Shot Eight Russians.
AT Cologne, eight Russians
were shot on August 7. One of the
prisoners was disguised as a
priest, two as nuns, and the other
five wore the ordinary dress of
women. The impression is that
Russians, who have just become
citizens are afraid to leave Ger
many and similarly Germans, who
recently have become naturalized
in Russia are fearful of living in
that country.

WAR AND NERVES.

The big steamship Lusitania, west
bound from England, failed to ap-
pear off Sandy Hook for number of
hours after her scheduled time, and
there was tremendous concern. Might
she have been seized by a German
cruiser? Or poked her nose into a
floating mine and gone to the bot
tom? New York was excited, even
London was interested.
Then the Lusitania turned up,
through a wireless message from her
captain, saying she was all right, but
had faced heavy west winds through
out her voyage, and had made a
slow passage. Nerves were permit
ted to resume their normal tension,
but a little more frayed, trife
reader to take on excitement at the
next occasion.
That's one of the worst results of
the war. It's on the nerves of the
whole world. and the longer it lasts
the harder it will be for people to
maintain their equanimity. Every
week of it makes greater the dan
ger Of it's further spread through
sheer incapacity of communities to
protect themselves against its insid-
ious effect on their nerves.
Turkey must have been in a large
part a victim Of nerves" Italv
seems to have her nervous organism
under better control than any other
country.

Urges Civil Pension Provision.

To the Editor of the Mail Bag:
The Democratic Administration has
about reached its halfway milestone.
but there has been no progress on pro-
posed legislation for the pensioning
and retirement Of superannuated Gov
ernment clerks and a readjustment of
the salaries of those young and cap
able of doing a full days work.
The next session of Congress is a
short session, under constitutional limi-
tation, and I understand that the pros
poets of such legislation before March
are remote. The Times in the past
has waged an excellent fight for the
Government clerks. and / trust that
when our legislators return we will
see at least an editorial or so prod
ding up the men on Capitol Hill /
am not SO optimistic as to believe that
action will be taken at this short ses-
sion, and yet our Senators and Con-
gressmen should be reminded occa-
sionally that while they are legislating
for the farmers, the rural letter car
riers, and the laboring classes Of the
country there Is a class OF employees
here in Washington deserving Of con-
sideration.
In the long run the Democratic Ad-
economy. would economize by a pension
system which would retire the super
animated employes-who have given
excellent service in their time-and
turn the work over to men and women
of less years and more strength. That
there should be q general readjust-
ment OF salaries I think no one Will
dispute.
A CLASSIFIED EMPLOYE.

Department Heads Away-Work Goes
Merrily On.

To the Editor Of the Mail Bag:
The other day The Times published an
article showing that all the Cabinet Of
flcers but two are away from Washing
ton political campaigning. and that one
Of the remaining Secretaries was getting
ready to leave to join the others. 1t
was stated. too, that many OF the as
sistant secretaries were engaging in the
campaign.
To me it would seem that this piece Of
news should appeal to the public gener-
ally as q striking compliment to the
Government clerk. Before the present
list Of officials took office there was an
other, and before them another group.
Yet the work Of the Government de-
partments has gone on uninterruptedly.
and the business Of running Uncle
Sans Government is conducted with
the same clock-like precision whether
the heads Of the departments are In
Washington or away.
The next time Congress begins legis-
lating valuable employees out Of office,
or department heads attempt to 'shcIe
up their forces by removing men of
long experience and good records for
service rendered, some one should point
out to them just who has been doing
the work. while others have been given
the credit. There should be greater re-
wards for service and some provisions
for retirement of workers who labor as
efficiently for the Government as the
clerks in the Washington departments.

luck, the election of 1916 will be de-
cided without giving u real verdict.
The war Administration always has
large advantage. Nobody is
changing horses just now. The lib
eral party is more firmly in the sad
die in Great Britain than at any time
in the last three years. The war
government in France is sticking
tight; if another cabinet has lasted
longer than this one, in the last
couple of years, its identity does not
readily occur 10 mind. The Social
lists all over the world are still busily
engaged explaining why Socialism
evaporated in Germany the instant
the nation was at war. And so il
goes everywhere. The American
people are strikingly similar to 9TH
er peoples in the disposition to main
tain an appearance, at least, of
solidarity before the world.
The election on Tuesday will be
determined chiefly by events in the
camps and councils of the world; not
by serious consideration of domestic
conditions.

THE GENTLEMAN CON-
VICT.

David A. Sullivan, president of a
bank in Brooklyn, was sent to Sing
Sing penitentiary for his part IN
wrecking his bank. There he was for
tunate enough to make the acquaint-
ance of Thomas ]. Mccormick, war
den. Mccormick was an amiable sort
Of a warden. He liked Sullivan, and
found that Sullivan was an excel
lent automobile driver. So presently
the warden turned up as owner of q
nice automobile, and the gentleman
" banker-convict, Sullivan, became
personal chauffeur to the warden. He
drove the warden and his family
around Westchester county, took the
car down into New York city, and
in general had very pleasant time.
Investigation of the incident
brought out that there was a mys-
terry about where the warden got the
car. He said the money to buy it
Gas loaned to him by a friend in
Yonkers; the official investigator in
Inmates that he doesn't believe this.
Now Governor Glynn has unfeel-
ingly removed Warden Mccormick,
and the gentleman-convict will go
back to his cell just like a less ac-
complished and useful guest of the
State. 1t seems rather tough that
warden can't have chauffeur, and
that a gentleman-convict should be
expected to stick inside The stone
walls just like any other criminal,
Whittier are we drifting, if inconsid-
crate political clamor on the eve of
election is thus to interfere with the
privileges of our most aristocratic
criminals and distinguished officials? L?
Is it to become the policy of the
great State of New York that man
who robs a bank shall have no more
consideration than a man who robs a
penny-in-the-slot machine?
