mands was also a modification in ac-
cordance with Chinese desires. Whether
1t Is genuine or not will be determined
by subsequent events. The original de-
mand was that China should consent to
Japan's building a railway from Chefoo

China's Objections.
China objected because that would be
an invasion of her national railway
scheme So Japan revised her demand
to read: The Chinese government con-
sents that as regard the railway TO be
built by China herself from Chefoo OF

willing to abandon the privilege OF

Cologne Gazette's Correspondent In

His Paper.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
In your $50 edition Of today you cons'
strue one of the sentences in what pur-
ports to be a translation of an article of
mine as referring to the White House
newspaper correspondents. The con-
densed report which you reproduce from
the London Morning Post might at first

a matter of fact, the article in its en-

the headlines OF most of the New York

therefore no possibility Of any reflection

REPRISALS IN WAR METHODS

The loosing Of a fleet of over
twenty French aeroplanes which
flew over the armies and seventy
five miles beyond, to drop bombs on
the German city of Karlsruhe, was
in direct retaliation for repeated
acts of the same kind perpetrated
by the Germans. The reports of
their work are inadequate, but they
suggest that while eleven people
were killed, and numerous fires
started, little Of military account
was achieved. This Is exactly what
England has announced every time
an air raid has been directed against
her coast towns, and in both cases
the statements are doubtless true.
There is no excuse, so far as war
exigencies are concerned, for this
sort of assault on unprotected cities
and the lives Of non-combatants.
The allies have announced that they
adopted these measures by way of
retaliation; to show the Germans
that mere inhumanity and barbarity
was game at which two could play.
1t seems remarkable that from the
German side of the lines should now
ascend savage cry for revenge,
and "send the Zeppelins to Paris
and London" as if the Zeppelins
had not repeatedly done their worst
already! 1t makes a difference who
owns the OK.
The British government has had
one experience in retaliation; now
the German government gets one. II
was announced that captured crews
of German submarines would be
treated, not as prisoners of war
but as pirates, on the ground thai
they had committed acts outside the
laws of war. British coroners' jurieI
have solemnly, if somewhat ridicu
lousy, indicted the German EN-
peror and government for murder
The German authorities, learning
that their captured submarine crew
were to be treated differently thai
\ other prisoners, promptly announces
that it would retaliate in kim
against British prisoners Of war
and they have been doing it. TIL
British government has been force
to surrender on this point; oh
viously it could not prevent Germa
retaliations, and it did not dare t
compete in inhuman excesses wit
the quite willing Prussians.
War can leave no scars so lastin
or deep as those that mark mutus
hatreds among nations and tn
people who comprise them. RI
prisals, and the excesses which ir
duce them, have become too muc
a feature in this war. The worl
has made no error in attributing tn
blame for inaugurating the excesse
of cruelty, the violation of all d.
cencies of war. But retaliation wi
not help; it will only make the we
more horrible, and the restoratio
of peace, real and lasting, the mol

WASHINGTON. Nov 25.-The for mal statement of McAdoO giving an estimate Of the federal governments revenues and expenditures Go the end of the fiscal year next July, advocates increases in internal taxation rather than the issuance of bonds to meet the first years expenses of the Adminis- uHtion's defense program.
