LONDON, April 2S.--In one Of the
strongest denunciations yet officially
voiced in England against the actions
of the German war office, the premier,
Mr.. Asquith, yesterday termed the
treatment being melted out by the Ger
mans to the British officers in the de-
tention camps as the blacklist spot in
all the German methods, something for
which Great Britain would exact from
Germany toll in full.
Most Horrid Story
at is a most horrible story which
the official reports Of the investigators
bring to us, said the premier. Tho
treatment to which the captured Brit
ish officers are being subjected forms
the blacklist spot in all the infamous
methods with which Germany has been
discredited in this war. -.
:'We will not forget this horrible
record, this calculated cruelty, this
crime against civilization. In the end
we shall exact the greatest reparation
it is possible to innict. We win not

7 ONDON, April 28.-The first
IL stage Of the battle of Fland-
ers is at an end. The ferocious
drive forward Of the Germans has
been checked and the Allies are
now fighting back with all their
strength to recapture the ground
it is admitted they lost at the
outset. What success. they are
meeting it is difficult to tell. The
official bulletins are noncommit-
tai as to results, but it is evident
that the loss in killed and wound
ed on both sides has been enor-
NOUS.
Gas Bombs Verified
The initial success OF the Ger
mans in forcing a Portion of the
lines held by the Canadians was
due to the pouring into the
trenches of great quantities Of
bombs which spread noxious
gases, against which the defend
ers could not stand. Verihcation
Of the early reports of the use OF
these unauthorized missiles was
had when counter attacks drove
tie Germans back in turn and the
Canadian trenches were .reOccu-,
pied. In these trenches the Red
Cross workers found the bodies
of many unwounded Canadians,
who had been asphyxiated by the
gases. a..
As a protection against the
effects OF these shells, the war
Office today is making a general
appeal to the households of Eng
land to fabricate gauze respifa-
tors for Use over the mouth and

Belgians Advance Again
On Sunday a number OF fierce
assaults, were directed against
the Belgian lines. three success
sive charges on the part OF the
Germans being rcpulsed. Fol
lowing up the repulscs, the Bel
gians advanced and recaptured
Iizcrnc, a village on the west
bank Of the User canal which the
Germans had occupied last week.

Interesting Note
On Chicago Wreck

The following letter was sent 70
Washington a year ago from Chicago
and tells OF conditions OF steamers
there.
Chicago ILL.,. June %. 1914.
Mr.. Edwin S Sweet Assistant Secy.
Department OF Commerce.
Washington. D. c.
Dear Sir-Probably you recall some
time ago we wrote you citing some in
stances of violation OF law permitted
On steam boats by the United States
inspection service any replying there
to you stated the matter would be in
vestigated.
You also requested information in
reference TO statement in our first
communication where l.. S. inspectors
were taking orders from the ship own
ers. to all OF which reply was made.
But We have received no answer TO
our last communication and inasmuch
as the steamboat excursion season is
now in full blast, our committee IS
anxious to report TO our organization
what the situation is pertaining to ex-
cursion boats out Of this city.
We believe the condition Of the eS.
cursion passenger steamers are alto
gether too unsafe TO be permitted to
continue without most vigorous pro.
test from this federation as matter
of record, in the event OF any accident
in the future. that we, at least, had
registered protest.
Fer instance, we claim it is crime
to permit the Christopher Columbus
$500 passengers with the excuse that
she runs but five miles from shore.
With that crowded condition, regard
less OF sufficient life boats or able
seamen, in the event Of an accident 90
the vessel thousands Of peoples lives
will have been sacrificed, even If tied
to the docks.
This applies to the rest of the boats
which are permitted to go out OF here
overcrowded. There is absolutely no
comfort and about one half OF the mum.
Der OF passengers allotted to each boat
would mean safety and nothing else
but the cutting down Of the passenger
list will lessen the danger.
We notice in press dispatches that
former President Mr.. Mellen OF the
New Haven Railroad referred to the
coats steamers as finder boxes" The
same applies here because as our com.
mittee has said. it seems that the L.
S. inspectors are more concerned over
the vessel owners interest and support
than the protest OF the public.
Thanking you IN advance for the
information, If possible to do so, and
awaiting reply at your earliest COVE
nience, we remain,
Most Respectfully.
