THE BRYCE REPORT

(FRoM THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE)
Had Edmund Burke read the report
of the Bryce committee upon the BEL
gian atrocities it is hardly conceivable
that he would not have amended his
familiar declaration: II do not know the
method Of drawing up an indictment
agains whole people"
For above and beyond all else the
Bryce report is an indictment of whole
people, and it sees the light in the face
of circumstances, which, for the neutral
world, will translate it into mere cor
roborative testimony of what has re-
Gently happened. We Americans must
inevitably see the tragedy of Louvain
with the massacre of the Lusitania in
the immediate background
What the Bryce report deals with is
not the mere repition of tales of murder,
rape and arson. 1t is not one more
study of the consequences of inter-
national strife. If the German soldiers,

IMPROVED BY MAN

Most creatures that have been tanned
by man have gained in size during their
long captivity, but there are several
notable exceptions. The cat is one; our
house pussy is smaller and far feebler
thing than the wildcat, from which she
is descended. Sheep and turkeys are
other instances of degeneration. The
wild gobler is considerable larger than
the tame Thanksgiving bird. A full
grown wild ram of the Rocky Mountain
species seldom weighs less than 300
pounds, and the wild sheep of the Old
World are said to be of equal size;
while tame ram, even of the mutton
breeds, is doing we'll if he scales 200
pounds. When the world settles down
to reasonable living conditions again it
should be worth some ones while to see
if wild standards in development cannot
be restored. The Eskimos and Indians
of the far north cross their dogs with
wolves to secure the wild hardness and
endurance. Why shonld not some Bur
bank of the animal world try similar
plan with sheep? The difficulties in the
way of making the experiment are no
greater than those which mechanical
inventors encounter daily as a part of
their business, and success would mean
more to the word than half the devices
described in patents.

TO SCARE U. S. ALSO

A committee of English Statesmen
judges and scientists, with the emf
nent historian Bryce as their chairman,
have just finished an exhaustive exam
ination covering period of five months
wherein 1900 witnesses were examined
and cross-examined in the most careful
manner with view to learn the truth,
and many documents, diaries, letters,
etc, taken from German prisoners or
found on their dead bodies also exam
ined.
These men went to their task unwill-
ing to believe the horrible tales of
wholesale German brutalities, but were
finally unwillingly convinced from the
overwhelming mass of testimony
brought before them, that these unpar-
alleled atrocities were not the excep-
tional, individual instances found in the
awful wake of WAR, but were the
work of the German government in its
deliberate scheme to terrorize the Bel
gians and French into ceasing their
resistance.
These unthinkable cruelities included
wholesale massacres by the hundreds
of men, women and children in masses;
innumerable violations of women; set
ting villages, towns and cities on fire
with benzine and then shooting the
people as they ran out from their burn
ing homes; bayoneting children anc
mailing them to boards, and other acts
of fearful barbarity
How bravely that little handful o,
heroic Belgians resisted and foiled tn,
attempt of these German invaders '.t,
hack their way through, all the work
now knows and applauds. These say
age tactics did not terrify little Belgiul
AMI does Germany think to frightei
strong and equally courageous Americ
into tame submission by the perpetra
ton of similar outrages, slaughterin
on the free ocean in three differen
assaults 119 of her citizens, the last II

If Germany persists in her mad cours

as did the Belgians.

mands.
But candor compels the just and the
unanswerable criticism that this bold
and patriotic message is by the Presi-
dents own statement, just 46 days
latel To quote him again:
''The sinking of the British pas
senger steamer Falaba by Ger
man submarine on March %,
through which Leon C. Thrasher,
an American citizen, was drowned;
the attack on April 2s on the Amer
ican vessel Cushing by a German
aeroplane; the torpedoing on May
of the American vessel Gulflight
by German submarine as a result
of which two or more lit was three
as a fact] American citizens met
their deaths; and finally the torpe-
doing and sinking of the steamship
Lusitania, constitute a series of
events which the Government of
United States have observed with
growing concern, distress and
amazement.
Thus it appears that the assassination
46 days ago of the American Leon c.
Thrasher, and IL days ago of the cap
tain and two sailors on the American
ship Gulfight, were not outrages enough
to elicit the Presidents strong protest
and threatl AS we heard, a Democra
tic admirer of Mr.. Wilson say "This
country couldn't afford to go to wal

than his own precious self of course!
Herein lies the great weakness in the
Presidents otherwise courageous stan;
and bold utterances. This same stanC

odd days ago, when the first American
citizen was blown against the moor
by Germany's cowardly under sea as
sassins, might have prevented the three
subsequent outrages, and saved IL!
American lives plus also 1895 other
massacred on the Lusitania.
This doctrine that the flag does no

cratic innovation to which no Ioys
American can subscribe, holding as d

RED CROSS SEALS.

What is the most important item
in the fight against tuberculosis :?
Education!
Education of the public must pre-
cede the financing of sanatoria, dis
pensaries, fresh-air rooms, visiting
nurses and the like.
It isn't the one cent we spend for
a Red Cross seal so much as the edu-
cation which that seal is to us and
to everyone else who sees it that
counts in this health work. The
earnings of these seals are used ex-
clusively for anti-tuberculOsis edu-
cational propaganda, and for mater
ial reliec for the sick and the pro-
lection CT the we'll. When we think
of the hundreds of tuberculosis poor
in this state who cannot afford to
provide themselves with proper food,
clothing and medicine, we wonder at
the thoughtlessness of those who fail
to recognize the Christmas seal when
it appears every holiday season.
The holiday spirit we hope will
include in this community a welcome
for the seal, and generous support
of those who are selling it in our
county. Last year in this state this
message was spread three times more
widely than ouor hoforo Gill -,
proportion to the population, Mime
sofa did only half as we'll as Wiscon-
sin. We should outstrip Wisconsin
this year.
The Red Cross Christmas seal is
the greatest single educational device
we have; everyone should be familiar
with it, how it originated and what
it does.

essential for healthy city growth, the
business. Without the latter city
will not grow. and without modern
street lighting investors of money are
not attracted.
Unless the streets are brightly and
attractively lighted so that it is both
pleasant and safe to be on them at
night people find no advantage in liv-
ing in the city. T..
|. City after city has demonstrated the
fact that streets which are practically
deserted after sundown can be enl1v-
ened by the installation of attractive
lighting. In any city only those streets
which are we'll lighted are busy after
dark. Only block or two from the
"great white way'' in New York
streets which, in comparison with
Broadway, are dimly lighted are found
nearly deserted, though great crowds
are surging along New York's brightly
lighted and celebrated thoroughfare.
Good street lighting always pays in
dollars and cents. Street lighting
which is attractive at night and the
equipment which makes good appear
ance In the daytime makes a good i'm.
preston. This good impression at
tracts desirable business. 1t increases
real estate values and puts new life
in streets which would otherwise die
at sunset. ;-
A well lighted city is always clean
city. The civic pride arn1sed by the
well lighted streets prevents the ac-
emulation Of rubbish in the street.
The lights prompt men to brush up"
and keep their premises cleaner.
Ornamental street lighting encour
ages the people living in the surround
ing towns to come to the city for their
amusements. 1t also attracts the at
tention Of persons passing through the
city and causes them to make favor
able comments about the progressive
ness of the city.
These comments advertise a city as
"active" or dead" and on the reputa-
ton a city has in this respect depends
the attraction of new industries and
new citizens. = : . = 21;a z''"'ss '!@f

L
in the year 1913 was 298,371.51, or
about 58,O0O,00O board feet. The
age and size of the trees were va
rious; on an average, about 40 years
old and IA inches in diameter, breast
high. Selection cutting is gener-
ally practiced, and to a large extent
the timber is sold standing. The ex-
penditures for the fiscal year 1913
1914 were $254,5S3, and the total
revenue $536,382. The expense of
management proper (cutting, etc. }
was $130,846, and net proceeds of
direct management were $405,4S6.
Natural seeding is principally re-
lied upon for reforestration. Arti-
fetal planting is frequent, but there
are no complete returns OF the num-
Der Of acres annually planted. In
1918 there were 905,6$5 trees plant
ed. On an average, scientifically
educated forester has supervision Of
$4,000 acres.
A forest inspector is paid an an
nual salary Of $1,000; a forest valuer
$702, increasing after nine years to
$1,028; forest manager $848, in
creasing after nine years to $972.
Pension or retired pay depends up
on what is granted in individual
cases by the legislature. There is
one director Of forests, three inspec-
tors, eight managers, one valuer,
nine forest assistants, two forest
planters and 476 forest keepers.
