THE GERMAN ATTITUDE
Lhe Editor of The Tribnne.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | think we are beginning to no
tce among our hyphenated German
Americans, who were so bellicose at
the outbreak Of this destructive var,
for which their people at home are re-
sponsible, a tendency now to talk of
peace.
Their attitude reminds mo of the
story of the conjurer who advertised
to make an omeiette in a silk hat, {
some one would lend him one, without
injury to the hat. After breaking tine
eggs in the hat and going through ne
motions of the business he smilngly
returned the ruined hat to its owner.
saying, Gentlemen. / regret that the
trick has failed, but | expect to retain
the price of admission"

THE FIVE CORRESPONDENTS
A Reader Wants to Hear from Them
Direct.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | read with much interest in
The Tribune the other day the state
ment, signed by Mr.. Cobb, Mr.. Nc
Cutcheon and other American war cor
respondents, saying that they had seen
no German cruelties in Belgium, and
that they pledged their word that con-
ditions there were orderly. | noted
then that The Tribune said that the
statement came via Berlin and in mu-
tilated form.
AS a later Tribune informs US that
the American war correspondents are
held as prisoners of war by the Ger
mans, 1t seems as If the authenticity Of
the statement favorable to the Ger
mans should be questioned closely
This is the more necessary, as it comes
to US at the same time as the COM
plants of the Belgian commission.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Is the British supply of lies
exhausted? Or perhaps John Bull Is
busy these days giving his attention to
his young men who will not enlist.
The "lie department" seems to have
been handed over to the Russians; we
are getting lies now "made in Russia. "

A DUSTY DAY AT SEA
Naval Lore from a Suspicious Anti
German Critic.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your esteemed correspondent,
DR.. +. c. DeWalsh, of the German
American Literary Defence Committee,
states that the much discussed cat and
nine tails found on board the German
cruiser Magdeburg "is a very neces-
sary but harmless instrument used -
in lieu of a whiskbroom or cane-for
the legitimate purpose of 'thrashing'
the dust out of military or naval uni
forms"
| would like the doctor to further
enlighten US as TO whether it is GUS
tomary to remove the wearer of the
uniform before "thrashing" the dust
out of the garment.
One can we'll imagine the paternal
care with which the naval officers of
the Magdeburg would remove every
heck Of dirt from the uniforms of the
ordinary seaman under their charge,
after very dusty day on the ocean.

NEW STEPS To REPLACE
OLD ONES AT CAPITOL
Stone Flight at East Front, Built
Eighty Years Ago, Now
Unsafe.

The massive stone steps on the east
front of the Capitol. up which millions of
visitors to Washington from every part
of the world have climbed during the
last eighty years. are to be removed and
replaced with new ones The wear and
tear on the steps has been great, and
they are so shipped and smashed
they have become a menace Several
persons in recent years have fallen and
been seriously injured because OF the un-
even surface of the steps
The replacing of the old steps is part
Of the general plan to resurface and re-
pair the entire plaza at the east front
of the Capitol. For many years Elliott
Wood. superintendent Of the Capitol. has
striven to obtain an appropriation from
Congress for this purpose. And at last
made available with which to begin the
work 1t is expected that a total of
$4,000 will be needed for the improve
ment which is contemplated.
Bids to Be Invited,
Within a week or two bids will be
called for the new steps. and also for
resurfacing with asphalt about 5000
square yards of the plaza. This will give
new surface to all of the plaza between
street south and B street north.
The present pavement was laid there in
1892. 1t is stated that the asphalt Of
today is a much superior article to that
which was used twenty or more years
ago.
The old steps which are to give way to
new were set in place in 1880, it is said.
At that time the wings of the Capitol
had not been constructed, nor had the
present imposing dome been built The
old wooden dome was still a part Of the
Capitol
Waiting on Congress.
Owing to the long delay in the pay
ment of the awards to the owners of the
property lying to the north of the Capt.
toll grounds between the Capitol and the
Union station, which is to be used as an
addition to the Capitol grounds. no plans
for the new part of the park have yet
been drawn up. Until Congress settles
what shall be done regarding the awards
for the property and made further APP
preparation for laying out and improving
this new part. 1t is probable nothing Will
be done. However. there is an appropria-
ton of about $4,000 available for be-
ginning work on the parking. and Mr.
Woods expects to grade the square i'm.
mediately north of the Senate wing OF
the Capitol this fall.

within the past few days the prices
in a large quantity of the foodstuffs
have decreased" said a person at the
District Supreme Court today who is
in close touch with the investigation
of the increased food prices.
This. he declared, he is sure is due to
the grand jury investigation. He said
he could not see where the dealers had
any right to increase the prices. and
that they only used the European war
as a reason to boost them.
Now they are coming to realize that
the grand jury means business, and
that the investigation is in earnest,
they are reducing their prices" he said.
