The Dumiries Atrocity Hoax.

The opinion was expressed by The Tribune
when the first reports Of German atrocities
arrived that they we're grossly exaggerated and
deserved scant credence This view has been con-
frmcd by number of incidents, Of which the
Dumfries case now takes first rank. In justice
to the German cause we gladly give the full
details Of this interesting hoax As developed IN
the High Court al Edinburgh.
Kate Hume was a clerk employed at Dumfries
in the early weeks of the war. She was an
apparently normal, attractive girl of seventeen.
In the height of the atrocity charges she made
public two letters purportng to come from her
sister Grace at the front. One was brief note
to Dear Kate saying goodby and recitng
various atrocities committed upon herself and
others The second letter purported to come from
another nurse at the front, telling of the dying
moments of Grace Hume. 1t repeated the de-
scription Of the atrocities supposed TO have been
committed upon Miss Hume. The father An
drew Hume, made inquiry at the War Office with
out result; but through the wide publicity of the
charges word presently came from the daughter
Grace saying that she was alive and well at
Huddersfeld and had never left England.
\ charge Of forging the two letters was pre-
ferred against Kate Hume, and at her trial she
confessed to having fabricated them. On the
stand she told how after her sister Grace went
away she did not hear from her, and came 10
the conclusion that she had gone to the front.
She was in a depressed state could not sleep at
night and suffered from headache. She had read
a great deal about German cruelties to women,
and she got it into her head that her sister had
been killed at the front.
Several mental experts were called and much
evidence was adduced showing that the girl had
suffered grave mental shocks which had greatly
had gone down the Titanic-was the leader Of
the band which played Nearer Ny God, TO Thee, "
according to the fathers testimony. One expert
expressed the view that the prisoner was suffer
ing from adolescent hysteria and was for the
time being quite abnormal in fancy and in action.
All the experts agreed that the girl was self
deceived and gave the letters out in the honest
belief that her sister had been mutilated and
killed by the Germans.
Here in New York we DO not have TO go
further back than our own needle poisoning hys-
terra TO find parallel. The suggestion involved
in such stories Of atrocty and abuse is evidently
strong. Just what proportion Of the German
atrocities emanating from Belgian or English
sources can be put down to hySteria of this kind
we can never know. But the case Of Kate Hume,
proved in court, is sufficient TO make every one
pause before accepting anything save first hand
evidence of the highest character in proof of such
terrible accusations,

Responsibility for the Roosevelt Shooting

The arrest Of a large number of the deputies
concerned in the cowardly unprovoked attack on
ne Roosevelt strikers is a good beginning OF pun
isbn,ent by oficialdom for that dreadful affair
II should not stop there The prosecutor and the
grand Jury should investigate TO see whether the
laws Of the state would not hold responsible

The sheriff VINO swore in those men as special
deputies. though they were non-residents and

snecaltv of furnishing strike breakers and guards
for use in strikes was a factor IN producing the
situation which resulted so horribly. The en-
blowers of these irresponsible detectives who ran
amuck are. officially in some degree responsible
for the shooting.
More than these individuals the system which
permits corporation or an individual employer to
stick badge on a man. put shotgun INTO MS
hands and turn him loose is at fault. The state
that permits this is encouraging murder. Police
power is the states. It is delegated TO munich
palities and county authorities, but 1t Is an out
rage that il should he delegated to hirelings OF
private interests. Such delegation never fails to
bring about rioting and, usually bloodshed When
the local police cannot maintain peace there IS
only one known police agency which can handle

likelihood Of doing more harm than good That
is mounted state constabulary, especially trained

We congratulate the President on his success.
His wishes in this case were clearly based on a
wise altruism. In the first place, TO have had

County Government in New York City

Chief Magistrate McAdoo Is the latest OF many
10 take thrust at the county system Of COVER
ment. In an address to the Conference of Magis-
trates at Albany he declared that county lines
were handicap i'm the enforcement of the Grim
inal law and hoped that the constitutional Con-
vention would take up this matter. In greater
New York. he said 1T twists and hampers the
law and adds TO the cost and expense and serves
no public good to recognize these county lines.
Il is not alone in the administration Of criminal
law that division into counties is costly to New
York City. There is duplication of machinery
and officials at great cost in salaries and admin
istratiye expenses without logical justification
One of the BIG items of increase in the budget tins
wear was for county eXpenses-many If not most
OF them. mandatory. To have separate county
governments appeals to locality pride IN this city
but there is grave doubt if it has produced better
administration in recent years. and assuredy II
has raised expenses. The county is necessary
politcal or governmental unit in the state at large
unless the system of dividing the state into dis
tricts for administrative purposes as well as for
judicial be followed. There is a widespread opn-
ion that within New York City the county govern
ments have outlived their usefulness. 1t Will be
a subject provocative Of much debate in the Con-
stitutional Convention.
