LETTERS TO EDITOR

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
] was very much surprised last even
Ing Going home on South Fifteenth
street car we struck an old darkey.
He must have been rs years old. He
vas hurt pretty badly; had hole in his
head. The conductor or motorman called
an ambulance at once Mt was there in
about 10 minutes. 1t seems that they
ssnt white ambulance instead of the
colored. The driver of the ambulance
did not get out of his car. He heard 1t
was colored man. He drove on and
left this poor old darkey to suffer In
tn. mud and rain. We, the white peo-
pie on the car. held an umbrella over
the old darkey. left but was told that
the same ambulance got the darkey
aiterward. 1t was cruelty to humanity
to treat a human being that way,
white or black. he was a human be-
Ing. My blood boils to think that such
as this would happen In a civilized
community Is 1t square to treat hu-
n'anity in this way? l heard a ereat
many remarks made on this incident
cepsuring the ambulance driver for
what he did. I don't know If the old
darby died or not. / don't think he
was that badly hurt. but 1t should be a
rule. white or black, when person
is hurt, take them in the first am
brlance that comes. If 1t had been a
white person that was hurt. do you
think a colored ambulance would have
refused to take him to the hospital
No. they would have taken him. be-
cause he was human being.
Thanking you for the space to pub
lis this for humanity's sake. l remain
yours respectfully, JOE ZINSZER.

come to be a feature of the press dis-
patches From the outbreak of hostilities
the Grown Prince" has been central
figure. All will recall the Kaiser's tele-I
gram to his daughter-ln-law, printed while
the German raid toward Paris was at the
height of its success, In which the young
mans father was SO well pleased with his
sons work that he practically promised
him a partnership in the firm of VIII
helm, God and company. The Grown

part in things. We ind this in the Coz
lognc Gazette: 'As we passed turnip

opportunity and filled up on turnps. The
Crown Prince at first laughed, then
called to U.S.: When In need, the devil will

bit into 1t and remarked, Not so bad.
after ALL" Isn't 1t just too deliciously
thrilling for anything at all? Could ons
imagine the condensation that Grown
Prince must have been compelled to ex-
ercise to eat turnip, and that turnip
handed to him by a soldier? Can 1t be
possible that he hopes to avoid contamf-
nation after such intimate associatioa
with private?
A sad story comes from Copenhagen re-
garding Prince Ernest Augustus, Duke Of
Cumberland, and father Of the Duke Of
Brunswick, son-in-law of the Kaiser. II
is said that Prince Ernest, who had been
reported missing for several weeks. has
been found, demented and wandering, and
that he has been committed to an asyluu1.
The horrors Of war are said to have az
fected his brain. The prince Is q second
cousin of King George and was born In
Hanover in 1S45. In 1877 he married Prin-
cess Tyra. fourth daughter of King Chris1
tian of Denmark. and sister Of Queen
Alexandra. He is general supernumer-
airy of the English army and also holds.
commission as colonel Of an Austrian
regiment. His inability to carry out his
conflicting military engagements may
have had something to do with his mentals

The methodical murder of men has
become commonplace. The world is
grown calloused, refusing longer to
be thrilled by tales of heroism and
horror. AS Samuel g. Blythe said III
che of his war articles, the remains Of
one mangled human causes revulsion;
the corpses of thousand are viewed
with Indifference. In modern fighting
there is not the glamor that once hung
ever battlefields. No longer are VIC
tories won by wild charge of gilt
tering cavalry or the taking of a bat
tory at the point of infantry's bayonets
The aeroplane has more eyes than Ar
gus and it can see whole lot farther

screen of cavalry and then throw them
Upon an unsuspecting enemy. All the
while one side is maneuvering toward
concentration, the other side Is doing
the same thing. Strategy has changed
somewhat, but latter day tactics would
hardly be recognized by even SO mod
ern and so eminent a warrior as Ma
po!eon.
Petrograd is claiming another big
victory over the Germans in Poland and
probably the claims are true. Grand
Duke Nicholas has proven himself n
great soldier. but he has met a foe
man worthy indeed of his steel in Gem
eral Won Hindenburg. the idol of the
Teutons. 1t seems to have been dem
onstrated that man for man and army
fer army the Russian Is not the match
OF the German. This does not mean that
the Kaiser's men are Drawer than thQse
Of the Car. But they are better led.
perhaps. and better equipped, certainly.
The Russian army has ,undergone

Manchurian fiasco, and, because Of her
Overwhelming numerical superiority II
Is not at all certain that Germany cou.u

OLD FRIGATE is
NOW COAL BARGE

Vallejo. Cal. November 2S.-The 100
year-old frigate Independence left Mare
Island navy yard today to become a coal
barge. 1t was the old sea fighters first
trip since 1868, when 1t was brought here
after having been used as a training ship
at San Francisco.
Vessels and whistles ashore saluted the
frigate as it was towed down the chan.
mel to San Francisco bay, where Ii will
be locked and will have it's bulSheads
knocked out to fit it for the inglorious
finish to its career.
The Independence was sold at auction
by the navy department for s3515.

ported to have admll Stered severe ue-
feat to the man VIII used to help him
whip the British.
With millions in Belgium reputed to be
upon the verge of starvation, the action
of Germany seems hard to understand. 1t
is constantly reiterated from Berlin that
business throughout Germany has pro-
ceeded as usual since the outbreak of the
war; that the country is prospecting now
as much as 1t ever has in the past; that
food is plentiful and that there has been
no increase in prices. If these things are
true, humanity would seem to teach that
the Germans should Send succor to the
Belgians, a people reft and bleeding only
from the fact that it preferred desola-
ton to dishonor. But instead of feeding
the unfortunates she has robbed and pill
LACED, Germany goes on her way demand
ing tribute from conquered cities, burning
towns and sacking villages.
T Several pro-German writer's have de-
Tended the violation of Belgiums neutral
ity by Germany by comparing the latter
to a man who ran across his neighoor
yard In order to reach his own mousse
which he saw in flames. The parallel 10
favorite one, but it is hardly complete It
should be said that ON his way TO stamp
out the flames which he saw threatening
his home. the man stopped In his neigh
boris yard, held him up ana ROBBED MIN

and set his house on hre.
England still shivers and shakes when it
thinks Of Zeppelin. The city Is shroud-
ed In darkness at night, and the most
elaborate precautfons are taken TO repel
an attack from the air. Newfangled
methods of defense have been suggested
In abundance. On the other hand, Paris
has come to regard Greman threats of de-
struction from the clouds as a joke, fine
at the time 1t was first sprung. but now
