GERMAN CAPTIVES'
 sUSPENDERS CUT

London, March 15-French off cial photographs of the battle of Champagne include a picture that may explain why escapes of Ger man prisoners are seldom heard of. The suggestion is that they don't escape because they couldn't run if they tried.
 The photograph shows a grinning French soldier performing on Q group of German prisoners a slight operation that seems to prevent escape - cutting their suspenders. The following translation of the French text accompanying the pie ture speaks volumes for French ingenuity, and perhaps for German modesty:
 "The best way to prevent prison CTS from escaping is to cut their suspenders. A man whose trousers threaten to slip down and get tangled up with big legs cannot run or fight, since his hands are em- ployed in holding up his indispens- ables, so all the German prisoners have their suspenders severed as soon as they are caught"

TRAILING TALE
OF GEROULD TRIP
distinguished Visitors" Went
to Hawaii at Expense of
Territory ILL.,.

An an argument against the Demo
cratic party, of whose banners Wade
Warren Thayer as secretary of the
territory is an ardent supporter, Re-
publican battle scouts are advancing
the story that Thayer sent his first
cousin and first cousins wife on q
trip to Hawaii at the expense of the
territory more than year ago.
That first cousins wife was none
other than Katherine Fullerton
Gerould, whose articles on Hawaii APP
peared in Scribner's magazine months
ago. The account to which the trip
was charged was entertainment OF
representatives, senators and other
distinguished guests" ........... .
Today the Star Bulletin looked up
the account in an investigation of the
case and also interviewed Mr.. Thayer
in regard to the issue brought up By
the Republicans. .
IF Mrs. Gerould, whose writings
are known to all readers of fiction,
isn't a distinguished guest, then ]
don't know where you'd find one" he
said. But the fact that her husband
is my cousin has nothing to do with
my feeling that way. .:-....<.
1--WE entertained about 125 repre-
sentatives and senators" Thayer con-
tinues, land the fact is that the Gus
tom of entertaining distinguished per-
sons is very, very old; as old as this
office" g.

RElcHsTAG PASSES NEW
WAR LOAN AT ONE SITTING

6 LONDON, Eng, Oct. 2S.-The Ger
man reichstag yesterday voted new
credit loan bill to the government OF
twelve billion marks, the measure
passing three readings at one sit
ting, according to dispatches from
Berlin, the Reuters correspondent in
Amsterdam
The German treasurer in moving for
the passage of the bill said that the
total expense of the belligerents for
the war to date is estimated at about
$50 billion marks. This, he added, is
exclusive of the goods and property
destroyed in military operations.
Germany's share of this stupendous
total, he declared to the reichstag, will
amount to one-third of the sum.
The monthly expenditures of the
German government, he said, is in the
neighborhood of 218T billion marks.
This has been the average of the cost
of the war to the government every
thirty days since the outbreak of hos
tilities.

fairly made: the other does not en-
force them unless they are reasonable
in their terms He predicted that the
time must come when all courts will
hold the former view, rather than
perpetuate an utter disregard of con
tract rights
Mr.. McDermott contended that the
two so widely divergent opinions con
cerning the same basic law arose, in
his belief from fundamentally different
opinions of the dut? a government
owes its people.
cone class of judges believes that
the state in exercise Of its judicial
power owes a duty to its subject, to
enforce contract for him or against
him, no contract unless it be such a
contract as would have been advisable
for him to enter upon, he said.
"The other class of judges, now far
and away in the majority, while agree
ing that contracts should be strictly
construed against the party drawing
them, believes that, in the absence of
fraud or mistake, it is not the function
Of the state, unless by legislative act,
to supervise or exercise the power of
veto over contracts which citizens may
make while engaged in their private
business, and that the integrity Of con
tracts should not be violated. The one
represents paternalism in government;
the other indiyidualism. This conflict
is as broad as civilization is old. 1t
has been advanced as the underlying
cause of the present convulsion in
Europe.
This country was dedicated to free
dom and freedom is the right of the
individual to live and to work and to
play, unhampered by government, as
far as he may, consistent with the
rights of others. There are certain
signs OF T.. tines which indicate a ten.
dency to abandUl. hat freedom for the
greater collective efficiency which
comes with fetters of socialism. If We
are to change, it should not be too
much to hope that the change will be
made by the legislatures and not the
courts"
