WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

, as are implicated, personally respon-
sble for such massacres."
Here's a new note in the war music.
OF course there have been threats OF
this sort of retaliation At least one
perfervid Canadian journalist pro-
posed early in the war that when the
allies captured Berlin the kaiser
should be hanged, But SO far as re
called this is the first deliberate Of
fetal statement that rulers will be
held personally responsible for of
fenses against the accepted laws of
war.
OF course it will be necessary for
the allies to catch Enver Bey and his
colleagues before hanging or shooting
them. However. here is a formal
public promise to do something of the
kind to them if it is possible to take
them alive. Whether the announced
determination will help the Armenian
and other Christian residents of Tur-
key is a question. However. it is a
promise of dealings with the men
higher up which opens various in
teresting possibilities TO the magma
ton.

may be international reasons of which
we know nothing that would forbid
retaliation such as is above referred
To. Such a course may not be thought
wise since it might establish a prece-
dent that would Justify a foreign pow

and ammunition to us in some time OF

pecially in further view of Germany's
attack on the Nebraskan. but it is safe

something too that will be hailed with
quite similar applause from this side

WILL WAR DEBTS BE PAID?
(Grand Rapids News.)

(Grand Rapids NeWS.)
As many preconceived economic
theories have been shattered during
the past 20 months, under the pres
attempt TO forecast the changed in
dustrial situation that will prevail af-
ter the mad war is over. But one
does not need to be a prophet, nor the
son OF prophet. to see that with the
close of the war the ranks of the
workers Of the belligerent nations will
be constituted of a large percentage
who are either aged or crippled. and
these impaired lives will be called
upon to carry a milestone of public
debts and taxation such as has never
weighted down normal and efficient
men.
Even though the war ends within a
year Of its inception-and no one be-
lieves it Wilt will have more than
doubled the debts of the countries i'm
vOlved. Present debts are estimated
at 100000, 600. Another year of
war will enlarge it to at least $75,-
600. 100000.
Can the masses carry this burden
and avoid a poverty that viii be
nothing short of slavery?
Will they pledge themselves and
posterity into beggary and unremun-
erative toll in order that capital may
be guaranteed the return of its pound
of flesh after the war is over. while
on the other hand. those who risked
their lives in defense of country and
homes will have offered their all with
out hope of reward or preferment?
1t is a question whether government
itself can be preserved at such sacri-
fetal cost. and il is doubtful whether
the governments involved will under
take TO care for the debts they are
piling up.
When individuals become unable to
pay their debts, they are permitted
to enter the bankruptcy courts and
settle with their creditors on the basis
Of ascertained assets. The court Of
bankruptcy is more open to the ma
ton than to the individual for a ma
ton cannot be sued without its con-
sent and history furnishes many pre-
cedents Of debt regulations by ma
tiOns-England and France included.
Reputation OF their public debts
would not destroy accumulated wealth.
as war itself does 1t would simply
mean that the rich would lose some
of their acquired power TO make 9TH
ers share earnings with them The
result probably would manifest itself
in permanently higher real wages for
labor and better earnings for business
men. without relatively increasing the
costs Of production since industry
would be freed from a menacing over
head in the form Of interest on the
public debt.
A. the present moment the outlook
does not seem promising for any class.
There is much suffering 10 be endured
and it's still a long way To Tipperary.
but we have such faith n the com
mon run OF humanity that we believe
il will find a way TO free itself from
the chains Of debt. miltarism and au-
tocracy with which it is for the time
being helplessly binding itself It's
long road that has no turn.

feel sore and grieved because of such
unfairness.
Now for the remedy:
Why not pit all lads of say of 10
years against each other, and so on
thru the different ages up to IA, max
ing a class for those of that age and
over?
The teachers know the ages of the
boys and girls in their respective
schools. Let eliminating contests be
held at each ward school of those OF
certain age, and then pit the
best ones Of that age Of each
school against each other Field
day What a pleasing and eX-
hilarating sight 1t would be to see the
lads and lasSies of equal ageS-each
sex by themselves-doing their level
best 90 win - II would be fair and
each contestant would feel that he
had chance at the prizes. 10 the
honor of his school
j think 1 have made it plain what
mean to convey and so Will not so
further into details
1t would be well also here to call
attention of the Field day managers
10 the danger 10 the health of young
pupils that were exposed by the lack
of care given-them at the grounds. In
many caseseseveral hours elapsed be
tween NouteSlS lnaue Dg the SAME pu-
phi, and as many OF them were but
scantily dressed, they got cold and
sJiff, and II was almost a miracle that
none OF them were made severely Ill
by the exposure Coats and sweaters
should have been nearby and put on
after each contest, especially on a day
when the weather was cold and damp
as last Field day.
These suggestions and criticisms are
made in good faith and il is hoped
they will be taken as Intended Any
way, i urge the proper Field day
thot and consideration.
Here Is hoping for a greater, better
and more pleasing Field day in 1916.
Yours truly,

Editor News-Times:

Editor News-Times:
For the past two years l have at
tended the Field day exercises of our
public schools at Springbrook park
and each time I have been disappoint-
ed at the very apparent one-sided and
unfair contests that have taken place.
1t would seem that just a little
thinking on the part of those who
have the management of the contests
would have long ere this caused
changes to be made that would have
bene great Improvement for both
contestant and spectator.
The beautiful and inspiring sight of
the wand flag and other drills left
nothing to be desired in the minds of
the thousands who were present and
witnessed them. They were satisfying
and celebrating and too much cannot
be said of them.
OF the contests / cannot say so
much. ] wish 1 could. Nearly all of
them were SO unevenE and unfairly
arranged that it was To me not only
not a pleasure but a positive displeas-
ure, SO much so that l do not care TO
witness them again.
] love to see a good, clean, fair con-
test, especially among juveniles.
Everybody knows the little fellows
Will do their best, and given an equal
chance. what spirit they do put into
their efforts.
But most of the Field day contests
were so arranged that only the large
pupil had a chance TO win. The older
and larger scholar. who was evidently
behind in his grade was the particular
point getter FOR his school For in
stance: one little fellow II years old
ran 60 yards against a boy who owned
up TO being 16 years old. What
chance had the little fellow to win ?
None whatever. And what holds good
IN this case was characteristic of near
ly all the other contests.
1t was unpleasant for the spectator
and everywhere throughout the vast
assemblage on the grounds coming
home on the ears and on the public
streets wherever the meet was spoken
OF at all-and IL seemed especially so
among the women-the contesting of
nearly groWn-up men and women
against little kids were spoken of in
wonderment and in a decidedly Un-
pleasant vein.
OF course, colleges and universities
are pitted against each other as
schools against schools. but ] can
see no reason why ii should be carried
out in our ward school contests.
viii not even acknowledge thatit is as
fair for one school as for another
because the school that is located
among a certain element OK our pop
ulation. who manifestly have not had
the early opportunities that Others
have had has the advantage in age
and size 10 $ scholars. As one little
/ fellow put a.: What chance has the
bright boy. who is up in his grade. got
running against the big fellow who is
down in his grade ." That question.
think. answers itself pretty satisfac-
tory. But we digress. SO ward school
against ward school makes an unfair
contest. And small pupil againS'
large pupil makes an unfair contest
IL also makes the little contestants

PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION.

After all, not all the enthusiasm for.
good roads and other good things. is
not limited to South Bend. This was
demonstrated Tuesday when an ag-
g-egation of local people. represent

Motor club. motored 20 North Liberty.
20 boost for good roads in that vi
entity. Besides they found in North
Liberty, village that is very much
alive in beautiful streets and beautiful
homes, and other things beautiful.
1t is good for the men of South
Bend TO get out once in a while and
visit our surrounding villages and
towns. Maybe better roads will ef-
feet more of it. It is one Of the i'm
portant features of such roads that
they bring the people of the country
and the towns and of the towns and
the cities closer together enable them
10 see more of each other, and live
more Of each others lives. The visit
to, North Liberty was well worth while
on this account alone-a somewhat
practical demonstration of what the
good roads will be able to accomplish,

AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
indianapolis News.)

1t is now said that naturalized
American citizens of Italian birth are
subject TO military duty at the call of
the Italian government, since there is
no naturalization treaty between the
two governments admitting the right
of eXpatriatiOn. OF course. 1t is ad-
mitted that the Italian government
can not enforce its demand except by
Imposing penalties on those who re-
fuse to heed the call should they ever
return to Italy. If they have any
property in the old country it could
perhaps be cOnfiscated. 1t is said that
even native born citizens, children of
French born parents are, under the
French law, subject TO service in the
French armies. And il has been said
that Germany maintains some sort OF
hold on German born Americans, even
though they be citizens of the United
States.
We think it high time that these
matters were being inquired into. y
man cannot become a citizen of the
United States without renouncing all
allegiance to his former government.
When he does that he is entitled to the
fullest protection at the hands of his
adopted government. This question of
eXpatriatiOn has always been a difficult
one, especially in such a country as
TIE OllLtu OldltS llltl VI dNS 10 Viz
zens from all over the world Most
Of the European powers have been
extremely reluctant to admit the right.
But we can not afford to submit
to the evil of having as citizens any
people who. even after they have be-
come citizens, are subject in any de-
gree to the laws of other sovereign
ties If any Italians in this country
wish TO fight in the Italian armies that
is their right, provided they do not
enlist in the United States, or do any
thing TO violate American neutrality.
But they should be under no obliga-
ton to do so. Nor should they be
subject to any penalties for failing to
do so. If the law is as stated it must
be changed. American citizens must
have but one sovereign United
States Of America. 1t is intOlerable
to think that a man who has sworn
allegiance to this government should
be punished for not being true to an
allegiance that he has renOunced. The
rights of this government should be
clearly defined, and then strictly and
firmly enforced.
