Mr.. o. Garfield Jones' article on pres

What he says Of the demoraliza-
ton in the present government, due to
the blind and foolish policy Of Presi-
dent Wilson and Governor General
Harrison, Is confirmed by every report
that receive from the islands,
Undoubtedly any SANDER or lying
statement can be confirmed by reports
received from the Islands. Mr.. Taft
has pointed out with entire clearness
where such reports come from. He
said, when suffering from similar. mis-
representation, speaking with respect
to the American press and the three
newspapers in the Islands who were
supposed to speak the American pub
lie opinion in the Islands, that they
were engaged in

At the present time the postal SER
vice is taxed to the utmost to handle
the parcel post business. If, all at
once, this business is doubled, it
would seem that it would be impos-
sible to handle the enormous quantity
OF mail that this sudden increase
would bring, but consider what it will
mean. when the volume will increase
20 times, and this is approximately
what will happen the week beginning
Dec. 20, 1915. 1t requires men skilled
in the work to properly handle and
dispatch mail, and the department is
not able TO employ enough men
throughout the year to care for the
increase in mail due to Christmas
business. Also the department is not
able to furnish large enough faciu-
ties in the way of storage terminals

is much better to have a package ar

Christmas marked in this manner,

Warsaw, Nov. 1o.-(Nia London. Nov.
2).-Hundreds OF thousands of the civil
ian population in the Warsaw district
of Poland are suffering for the want CT
food. The greater percentage of this
number are still homeless. living in huts,
caves and abandoned trenches.
The situation is mo"e serious because
of the immense number thrown out of
work by the almost complete paralysis
of Polish industries. Some workers have
emigrated to Germany, where employ
ment is plentiful, but the great majority
prefer to remain near their homes in the
hope of better days. Prominent Poles in
all walks of life maintain that drastic
relief measures are necessary i whole
sale deaths from starvation are to be
prevented.
Such flour as is now in hand is being
distributed by the Germans under the
bread card system, but only potatoes are
available in quantities, while there is an
acute shortage of dried vegetables, meat
fats and condensed milk. Prices, which
ali over Poland have risen to unprece-
denied heights, cannot be checked by the

Russian Reservists Suffer
Suffering is especially acute among the
families of Russian reservists who for
merly received regular payments from
the government. Pensioners now are cut
off from their former incomes and the
Russians are charged with having taken
with them the funds of savings bank de-
positors.
The country districts of Poland from
one end to the other are battle SCARED,
barren and fire-swept In the Warsaw
governmental district alone it is esti-
mated that 1000 villages were burned by
the Russians. Many of the inhabitants

mercy of the Germans.
Thousands already have died of star
walton and diseases superinduced by hun
ger. Mothers remaining alive are so un-
der-nourshed they cannot nurse their
children. In Warsaw and Lodz women
now rise at o'clock in the morning to
get good places in the bread lines and
not miss the chance to obtain some food
at least.
The horror Of the situation is increased
by serious shortage of coal. due in
part to destruction of the mines and in
part to Inadequate railway facilities.
Committees composed botn of Gentiles
and Jews, with the assistance Of the
German government are conducting soup
kitchens at Warsaw and LODI, distrib-

are running in Warsaw. while numerous
asylums and homes for young and old are
in operation.

exhausted. The cost of the food dis
tributed free has amounted to $4,000
rubles month.
The food department of the Warsaw
government, which has been selling
at cost prices, has been obliged to re-

and the impossibility of importing from

MAY PUNISH PLUNGER CREWS
British Admiralty Would Hold the
Captives for Murder After
Hostiiities are Ended.

London, March 9.-The admiralty
announces it is not justified in extend
ing honors to the captured crews of
German submarine boats, owing to
their methods, and that it is intended
to segregate them under special re-
strictions, pending their possible con-
viction at the conclusion of peace.
The admiralty states that this rul-
ing applies to the twenty-nine officers
and men of the German submarine
US, which was sunk recently off
Dover
The policy to be adopted toward
the crews of German submarines is
in answer to the demand of Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, retired, and
others, that such men be tried for
murder, and the admiralty statement
indicates that the government has this
in mind. The statement refers to the
generous treatment accorded German
officers and men saved, numbering up
ward of one thousand, and then says
with reference to the US:
This vessel had been operating in
the Straits of Dover and in the Eng
lish Channel, and there is a strong
probability that she had been guilty
of attacking and sinking unarmed
merchantmen and firing torpedoes at
ships carrying non-combatants, neu-
trails and women. In particular the
steamer Oriole is missing and there is
