This paper is at loss to Under
stand the action Of the first Repub-
lican Council Of Martinsburg for
the past ten years. Mr.. David
Russlcr applied for and got license
to open a pool room bit when il
became known that colOred persons
were going to be allowed to play
there, the council compelled him to
refuse to allow them to play pool
or have his license revoked. This
same party hunts and hauls colorcd
voters to the polls on election DAYS
and could not win without their
votes. DO they suppose Negro
voters are going to stand for such
slaps and not kick? They arc like
the rest Of the human family. They
like resorts of that kind precisely as
do the whites, and there is plenty
of law to punish them and the own
er if violations had been carried on,
We say boldly that the Democrats
would not have done that, and
after time to reflect the Republicans
should be ashamed Of their action
in this matter.

GERMAN COMPLAINTS
AMUSING TO BRITONS
LET Them Squeal," English Re-
ply to Call for Cables.
LBy Cable to The Tribune J

London, Dec. 21-The Tribune's in
quiries to-day elected the statement
that the British reply to the German
communication had been sent to New
York. Colloquially put, the answer
would be: "Let them squeal."
When it came to the question on
what grounds Great Britain defended
the Central cables the answer was more
explicit: an the first place, British
foresight secured possession of practii-
cally all cables. If Germany hadn't SUI
ficient provision TO secure her own
cables we can't be expected to sympa-
thize.
Apart from this, we are making war
and intend to do so by every legitimate
means. When it comes TO a question OF
international law, any inquirer has only
10 refer to the st. Petersburg telegraphlc
convention of 1875, paragraphs ana
S. reenacted by the radio-telegraphic
convention in London in 1912, giving
any signatories, which included DER
many. the right TO cut of telegraphic
communication for state reasons, among
others. At the beginning of the war we
formally notified all countries OF our
intention 10 exercise this right.
Beyond this, if Germany wishes ia
communicate with America, she has
free access through Ambassador Ger
ard. while apparently her wireless
seems kept fairly busy, among other
things being at the disposal Of news
naper correspondents wishing TO eX'
press pro-German views As a m, matte It e.
of fact, we have allowed quantity %
German propaganda which we judged
likely to deceive nobody TO pass over
our cables.
I'VE can't be expected TO complain
that there are no German ships avail
able 10 send wireless messages. To TINS
one section Of the German indictment
regarding the freedom of the seas, We

and can successfully fight our navy
then their ships will be able TO use all

DUTCH ASK BRITAIN
TO RETURN MAILS
Letters Also Taken from Ships
Bound from Sweden to
United States.

London, Dec. 21.-The Netherlands
government has sent a protest to the
British government against the seazure
Of Dutch mail bags on the steamers
Noordam. Frisia and Rotterdam. and
has demanded an immediate return Of
the mail, according TO a Reuter- dis
patch from The Hague. The hone was
expressed in the protest that the inci-
dents would not be repeated.
The Swedish steamship Stockholm,
formerly the HollandAmerica liner
Potsdam, which was recently taken into
Kirkwall by the British authorities
while bound from Gothenburg for New
York, was released after some of her
mails had been removed.
This is the first case Of the removal
of mails from a vessel en- route from
Sweden to the United States, although
some time ago the Swedish government
complained that American-bound mails
from Sweden consigned by way of Eng
land had been opened in the latter
country.
Official circles here have no informa-
ton with regard to the announcement
that the American Secretary Of State
has asked the British government for
an explanation of the charges con-
tanned in a protest by Sweden to the
State Department against British in
reference with Swedish merican
mails.
The Danish liner United States. from
which il is also reported mails were
taken, has been allowed to proceed on
her voyage from Glasgow to New York.

MUST DIE LIKE DOGS,
NOT LIKE SOLDIERS
Airedales Wanted for British
ARMY Refused by Owner.

New London. Conn. Dec. 21.-"I did
not raise my dogs to die like soldiers"
declared Tyler Cruttenden at his Aire-
dale Kennels at Crescent Beach to-day,
commenting on his refusal to fill an
order for twenty-five dogs for the Brit
ish army.
81 could have supplied the animals"
said Cruttenden, "but ! recently let
the French government have ten, and
/ have been told some Of the best pup
pies were killed BIZ shrapnel. ! made
up my mind to keep the others here
and let them take their chances Of
being run over by automobiles"
The dogs, according to the fancier,
are used by the Allies for sentry duty
and in the ambulance service to re-
cover wounded soldiers. An English
officer recently told Cruttenden that
the Airedale breed was superior to the
German sheep dog, used by the Teuton
armies. as they could perform the same
duties as we'll as chew the German dog
TO sausage meat when they met be-
tween the trenches.

TBS Gable to The Tribune

London, Dec. 21.-With Christmas
almost here the market streets now
show animated signs Of Yuletide prep
arations. Despite the gloom prevalent
because of the war England is trying
hard to maintain a cheerful appearance.
While conditions are not of the best
decided efforts are being made to make
the most of them, for the holiday sea-
son at least. Wounded soldiers, others
home on furlough and those who have
vet TO see actual fighting are here in
large numbers and the whole city is
planning to play Santa Claus for their
benefit. Special attention is being
given to the Derby recruits who will be
called up after the holidays.
Packages and parcels by the thou
sands for the soldiers and sailors who
must hang up their stockings in trench
dugouts or below hammocks have prac-
tically all gone. In addition there IS
a large consignment on its way TO
British soldiers in German prison
camps.
Economy is the general rule this sea
son. it not only affecting gifts but the
Christmas dinner as well. The stores
are doing considerable business but
buyers are taking longer to make pur-
chases, being forced to consider expense
as never before.
