CENSORS HOLD
UP PRISONERS LETTERS

Berlin, July 3O.-Because letters re.
ceived from German prisoners of war
in France apparently have been tam
pered with-by the French censor it
is charged-the authorities have
found it necessary to issue a warning
against including any information OF
a military character in communica.
tons from relatives to prisoners.
A recent letter from a prisoner con.
aimed the surprising request to his
relatives to write him all they could
about the war. An examination of the
writing showed, however, that the
prisoner of wal had written exactly
the opposite, and that his handwrit-
ing had been initiated in changing his
injunction.
Similarly, he had written that let.
tiers to him should be sent %unsealed.
This Injunction too had been altered
to read that his relatives might seal
their letters, conveying the impress.
sion, along with the request for war
news, that he was in a position to re.
ceive uncensored communications.
The German authorities declare
they are convinced that it was the in
tention of the French government to
ecure in this manner, military news
of value, advance word Of intended
operations, troop positions and the
like. They urge relatives, therefore,
to limit themselves in their letters to
tn rarest needful information of a
non-military character.

EMPTY CRADLES WORST WAR HORROR, SAYS GREATEST
OF AMERICA AUTHORITIES ON HEALTH AND VITALITY

Hartford, Conn, July 30.-(Special)
THE cost of the war in money and
in life scarcely counts at all, in the
long rum" said Professor Irving Fish
er of Yale, the greatest of Americas
authorities on health and vitality.
WARS real tragedy lies not in
wrecked %cathedrals, filled graves or
Quilted boxes. 1t lies in cmptied
cradles of the coming generation.
Europe had begun to o from
the Napoleonic vars. She had not re-
covered, but she had begun to recover.
Now she plunges into a new excess,
riotously wasting unborn lives. That
is the saddest murder of this war.
at is the quality rather than the
quantity of human life that should be
held precious. The law itself does
not hesitate to snuff out anti-sOcial
lives, when it sends criminals to the
electric chair or to the gallows. Such
wedding out even has been declared
to be a necessity.
eff war would weed out only the
criminal, the vicious, the feeble
minded, the insane, the habitlial pau

War Takes Best.
"But the truth is that its effects are
Numerically opposite. 1t eliminates
the young men, who should be the
fathers of the next generation-men
medically selected as the largest
strongest, most alert. and best endow-
ed in every Way, and at the very age
when they normally would be perfor-
ming the most important function
which man can perform, that OF father

"Their less endowed fellows, medi.
cally rejected from military service,
because of defects in stature, eye
sight, hearing, mentality, ETC., are left
at home to reproduce the race.
"The result must be a tendency to.
word degeneration, and that we may
look forward to as the result of this
great war. 1t is believed, with some
reason, that the small stature charac-
teristic of Frenchmen is the after
math of the Napoleonic wars. which
moved down the larger men. those
who. otherwise, would have contribut-
ed their strain to the French people.
Caesar spoke of the Gauls as tall, and
although, Of course, we have no exact
statistics, the effect of the NaDoleonic
wars must have been in the direction
claimed.
"No less certainly the effect of the
present war must be in the same gen.
eral direction. 1t is killing off the
men of large stature, not only in the
physical. but in the mental and moral
sense. In the modern instances this
dire effect will be magnified by the
wars own magnitude-and unques-
tionably it is the greatest Of all wars.
1t is true that the number of men

GERMAN EMBASSY SILENT;

Washington, May 1.-THE note sent

eminent as a sequel to the Lusitania
disaster was delayed in transmission
because of congested cables.
Secretary Bryan received a message
from Ambassador Thomas Nelson
Page at Rome saying the note, which
had been addressed to the American
embassy there to be forwarded by
telegraph, had arrived at 2 p. m. and
that in an hour and forty minutes it
had been copied and relayed to Berlin
by telegraph, via Vienna.
Reply Expected in Week.
It will take a week at least for the
answer from Germany to the American
note to be prepared and received here,

have it translated before being formal

Germany, that the latter country in

newed its informal proposals for the
unrestricted passage of foodstuffs to

1t was pointed out by well'informed
European diplomats that an offer Of
arbitration or settlement by diplo-
macy of the questions at issue, would
most certainly be made by Germany,
with an agreement to abandon subma-
rine warfare while the discussion was
in progress.

Would ship Foodstuffs.

Officials have been reticent about
discussing the idea of arbitration or
the proposal with reference to food
stuffs, but it was indicated that the
situation had progressed to the point
where the United States would not be
likely to be satisfied with any condi-
tional acquiescence In the American
position.
1t was intimated that II Germany
accepted the American point of view,
the natural tendency of the United
States of its own initiative would be
strongly to press it's contention on the
right to ship foodstuffs to Germany, a
matter still under diplomatic discus
sion.
There is q likelihood, too, that some
understanding might be reached
through the medium of the American
government whereby Germany could
be definitely assured that no mer-
chant ships leaving the United States
would be armed, making it possible for
submarine commanders to exercise the
right of visit and search with impun-
ity.

Must Pay for Neutral Goods.

Whether Great Britain would con-
sent to disarm all her merchant YES
sells carrying contraband is matter
Of conjecture. Britain has insisted dur
ing the present war and also main
tanned with much vigor in her CORE
spondence with Russia during the
Russo-Japanese war, that a prize
should be sunk in case Of military ne
cessity. This position has been taken
by the United States in it's naval code
of instructions on the theory that de-
struction of neutral goods of non-con-
traband character aboard belligerent
merchantmen would require the pay
ment Of heavy damages.
That the question of permitting Am
orleans to travel on armed merchant
men may be shortly taken under con-
siderati0n is intimated in we'll in
some officials believe there will be lit
tie necessity for this, as Great Britain
already has informally agreed not to
arm her vessels plying between Brit
ish and American ports.
What is regarded as one of the
hopeful signs in the general situa-
ton, is the confidence reflected in Of
fetal and diplomatic quarters that
Germany will meet the United States
at least half way and certainly will
suspend for the time being, her sub
marine attacks without warning dur
ing the diplomatic correspondence.
