RAID ON KARLSRUHE
''NEFARIOUS ACT
Tages zeitung Editor Says it De-
Ilands Unscrupulous Retaliation

s. Berlin, via London. June 16, II a..
Comm enting on the aeroplane
attack upon Karlsruhe, Paul Becker,
assistant chief editor of the Tages
Zeitung terms it "A nefarious and
senseless act for which "unscrupu-
lous retaliation is demanded He de-
clares Germany hitherto has retaliat-
ed for the bombardment of defense
less unfortifed cities only by the
bonn ardment Of military localities
but that an example now should be
made
Herr Becker suggests that the best
step would be a bombardmer1t of the
western portion of London. He thinks
the retaliatcry measures should be
extended also to other departments
OF warfare.
Attacks Zinmerman's Article.
Count Ernst Won Reventlow, the
naval expert of the same paper, re-
turns this morning to the attack upon
the article of Eugene zimmerman.
general director of the Lokal Anzei-
ger. in favor of efforts toward a Ger
man-American understanding.
I'm an article headed German
Propaganda for deiiveriea OF weapons
to Germany's enemies, Count Won
Reventlow says the defense by, Ger
man newspapers OF these weapon de-
liveries is one of the most incredi-
BILE things which has occurred during
the war He attacks the Vorwaerts
for it's approval of the Lokal Anzei-
gers proposal and again assails the
latter paper for declaring there was
no occasion for indignation at the
attempt of England to starve OIL.
Germany, which was held to be legi-
innate warfare.
Press of Enemies Rejoice.
The count says the press of the
countries opposed to Germany will re-
joice to learn that its own views are
held and furthered by portion oc
the German press. He argues that
lands starvatien plan it therefore
disapproves Of the submarine cam
paign.
Attacks Lokal Anzeiger.
The Kreuz Zeitung also attacks the
Lokal Anzeiger for its article Of
Monday, especially the declaration
concerning the sale of weapons by
Americans. Professor Otto Hoetszech
a regular contributor to the Kreuz
Zeitung, declares there is no truth
in the report of a secret understand
ing between the United States and
Great Britain, and ne warns against
rendering the tension between Ger
many and the United States more
acute by the publication of state
ments of this nature.
The Boerse Zeitung, adopts the
same point of view as the Lokal An
zeiger, that there may be another
side to the question of the shipment
of American arms to the allies. This
newspaper refers to Germany's OPP
position to The Hague conference to
prohibition of this practice and de-
clares the reproach that America is
selling only to the allies to be unten-
able for the reason that it cannot
sell to Germany. The most that can
be said, this newspaper declares, is
tht this is a departure from the
ideals of humanity The government
might possibly forbid this traffic, "but
it would make itself more unpopular
than it is
Remove Points of Friction.
MIR. Bryan's suggestion to forbid
such traffic. this newspaper goes on
to say, would almost entirely remove
the points of friction between Amer
lea and Germany

that the public is extremely fortunate that they
were.
If any one doesn't agree let him examine
the chart showing the course of the death rate
OF diphtheria and Group for the last forty
years.
The average death rate in Manhattan and
The Bronx for the twenty years preceding
the introduction OF antitoxin was 1914 per
100000. If that average had continued tor
the twenty-year period following 1895 there
would have been in the twenty years 5o297
more deaths from diphthers and Group than
actually occurred.
In 1895 the Health Department began the
distribution Of anttoxin in Brooklyn. The
average death rate from diphtheria and Group
in Brooklyn for eighteen years before that
date had been l62 per 100000. But 3O9lo
lives were saved by the decrease OF the rate
in that borough TO little more than twenty
last year.

orp4rr7nRrA SERUM HAS SAVED TWENTY YEARS

The year before the introduction OF anti
toxin there were 2,S7O deaths from dphtherla
and Group in Manhattan and The Bronx'
Last year there were 7s3 in spite OF the fact
that the population Of those two boroughs
had increased from 100000 in 1894 TO BOIL
900 in 1913. In Brooklyn there were 1854
deaths the year before antitoxin was used
last year there were $50, although the populs-
ton of the borough increased from 100000
to nearly 100000 in that period.
1t seems to me that our imaginary parade
of persons whose lives had been saved and
those who were benefited by the saving q
those lives takes on new significance and
becomes almost a possibility instead OF Ing
ment of the imagination when we multiply
that first rescued patient OF the present
Health Commissioner by the dull and unir
teresting figure, $4,000, to be the result Of the
use OF antitoxin.
