Sir:-HaVing several relations in
Germany, | received the following clip
ping from a German newspaper, which
! enclose, for | thought it may be in
teresting for your paper and TO give
cur American race an idea of the
warfare in Europe This is a note
that was found in a French officers
notebook who fell in the battles
around and before Paris He was
with the 321st French reserve infan-
try regiment. 1t reads as follows:
The 17th-We came through noun
tains at Belfort and saw some of the
first helmets which were taken from
the Germans. Civilians were robbed
and plundered by French regiments
which camped here (Belfora) over
which the head officer was brought
before court martial of the 60th rcgi
ment French soldiersl.
The 19th-We crossed the Belgian
border.
The 31st-We enlisted as we went
along into our regiment colored men
and hunters and few Moroccans. h.
ones knapsack we found 16 ears and
another who was wounded was asked
who did that He opened his KNAPP
sack and pulled out head of Ger
man soldier, saying that he was the
one who did it, and he had to be over
powered to part with the head"
In France the French troops de-
stroy and plumber their own race, md
besides the horrible war the Indian
troops carry on by going over the
battle field and cutting dead soldiers
ears and heads off. wish you would
publish this little chapter, for it shows
that the Germans alone don't carry en-
such uncivilized warfare.
Yours truly,

SHAKESPEARE AND THE WAR.

Editor Honolulu arBulletin.
Sir: Apropos of the terrible strug
gle OF the armies of nations through
out Europe. enc IS minded OF few
lines by Shakespeare, who had a
knack of description that tCCk with
the time and generation in which ne
lived. but in the present time he
souri, Along in hiss middle age he
worked off an effusion on the wise
ones CT the world in pen picture OF
victorious Peace" This effusiOn Of
Williams went trunding along for a
good many years, and 1t is just pos
sible that Shakespeare died under the
impression that he had called turn
that would stick through all eternity.
But William, like a good many others,
went clear off the dead RECKONING
with his bearings and failed to insert
some quite important details. If YOU
will take the trouble to look Mr..
Shakespeare up you will find that he
said Tor wrOte):
Now are our brows bound with vic
tOriouS wreaths,
Our bruised arms hung up for mOnu-
ments,
Our stern alarums changed to merry
meetings,
Our dreadful marches to delightful
measures.
Grim-visaged war hath smoOthed his
wrinkled front;
And now-instead of mounting barbed
steeds,
To fight the souls of fearful adver-
Saries-
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber
To the lascivious pleasing Of a lutte"
1t goes without saying that a more
comprehensive though less attractive
demonstration of what the real "victo-
ricus peace" will be like can be gath
cred from the chronicles of your after
noon paper which says, according to
world news cables:
The bloOdiest and most pitiless
battle CT the great European war.
In the deadly strife the Germans
lest 90. per. cent OF. their officers.
Many of the regiments. had less
than 100 men left when they got
through to safety.
Germans cut line forsmiles with
bayonets' through Russians.
Petrograd reports that the total
loss of the Russian officers since
the war began. amounts to. 33, 009.
T. Germany and Austria have cap
y tured 100000 unwoanded Rus
SLAMS and killed and wounded at
least an equal number. The sick
must total 100000: -
i Violent fighting renewed. on
User.
These are but mere few Of the
many thousands CT reports of the ter
rible war that is raging across the
water. Through other sources it is
reported that fiendish atrocity has
been practised by the different war
ring nations i'm the field, against the
enemy whens captured,1 and EVEN the
manning of Red Cross people so that
they would be unable to succor wound

Yours truly is of the opinion that

Vious with his Victorious Peace"

TALK prosperity and lay all our

order evidently passed out by President
Wilson to his Cabinet and all other APP
pointees of his who obey him as he
was accustomed to have his students in
college do. The result is that mem
bers of the Cabinet and departmental
officials have been very busy lately.
The favorite Monday morning stunt
among the Presidents mouthpieces
nowadays is to come out with boom

view that the general business depres-
sion is ''merely psychological. " Pro-
lessor Wilson is telling big business

SOME idea of.the far reaching effects
of the war in Europe can be gotten by
one who will visit the docks at New
York City. Tied up there in idleness he
will see ocean going ships worth seven
hundred million dollars. If the war is
of long continuance this fleet of use
less vessels will constantly grow larger.
What this represents in the way of loss
es to commerce and in wages and
dividends is almost incalculable.
Certainly the mind can not grasp its
immensely. The privation which many
families will have to endure because of
this suspension of trade is pathetic.
