under the caption mo More PARTIES:
We read in the Vorwaerts. the socialist
newspaper, as follows:

ton OF its sale has been lifted"
This would indicate that the So

cause OF utterances that were con-
sidered opposed to the official policy.
German Women Too Kind.
Bitter censure is expressed In sew
eral issues OF the German newspapers
upon what Is called 'undignifed' de-
pertinent Of German women toward
prisoners of war who were brought to
Germany. AT Stuttgart, on August 16,

Commenting ON tho events that
called forward such an announcement
the Tageblatt said:
The scenes referred to In this order took

The tactless conduct OF these ladies

A later issue says that the Red Cross
nurses were thenceforward to wear
only the plainest garb and to approach
prisoners only when the latter were
wounded.
"The war prisoners are in charge OF
the military authorities" II explains,
"and they are to receive no delicacies
or tobacco from the public. The wound

are to be treated the same as German
prisoners. Undigni1ed conduct on the
part of women (of the Red Crosse at

Another issue Of the Tageblatt con-
tanned an article officially announcing
that there was no danger to neutral
shipping In the North sea- The notice
No harbor Is biockaded and there Is
nothing in the way Of commerce between
Germany and neutral states. The report,
spread through English sources, that the
North sea hassbeen strewn with mines, ID
untrue. Neutral shipping bound for the
north German coast must, by day, steer
for a point 10 nautical miles northwest OF
Heligoland. There provision has been
made by the German authorities for pilots
who win guide the hip to the German
tic seaports. There are pilots before every
harbor. ,
Official notice was made in the
T~ageblatt of August Is. that charges of
cruelty on the part of Belgians were,
being investigated and sworn. testiN
mony Of all who had personally witt
messed such cruelty from the Belgials
was solicited.
OF interest In view Of the Tremendous
number of women wearing mourning In
these war days, Is the following appeal
on the part OF Capt. Rudolf Herring:
German women: Your mourning Is so
well understood by all Of usI But please
mourn only In our hearts. Put IN the
black garb Of mourning only later, after
uneasy. through your dark garb, many
fellow citizens and lead to much depres-
sion among other people.
That Is wrong, and not in the spirit in
tended by you brave dead. Comba the
outward signs Of our grief. Dress now as
always. Thus you win do a great service
In view OF the large number OF n
employed, made greater by difficulties
~illadvisedly put in the way Of many
employees after they had reported them
the authorities Of Berlin have estab-
lished meals for 2h cents at MONDAY
In public eating halls.
