PRISONERS IN JAPAN

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Not many decades ago Japan was con-
sidered an uncivillzed nation. Even after
the great awakening the occidental ma
tons exercised rights of extraterritorial-
fly. Japanese courts we're not held com
petent to deal with cases concerning
Americans and Europeans. The relin-
quishment of extraordinarily was Eu-
ropes and Americas acknowledgement
that japan was civilized. but there has
still remained q feeling that occidentals
who must depend on Japanese mercy or
justice are highly unfortunate.
Now there appears statements from
German and Austrian prisoners of war
held in Japan which quite upset the
old notions OF Japanese callousness. The
men say they are treated with great con-
sideration, that they have much liberty,
that they are well fed, and that they
have no complaint whatever This comes
at time when England is accusing Ger
many and Germany is accusing England
of barbarous mistreatment of prisoners
of war. The English and German charges
are doubtless exaggerated, but they must
have some basis of fact. That no charges
are made against Japan and that the
prisoners themselves gratefully testify to
the kindness of their captors are mat
ters worthy Of consideration. Must Eu-
rope, after having long scorned or pat
ronized the yellow heathens learn from
them the lesson of Christian charity and
the practical application of the golden
rule?

Views ON Election

ut may be little late to talk about
the presidential race, but there are a
few interesting things about the affair
STILL, said ]. G. Bass. republican leader
in Jefferson county. There are few if
any politicians in the United States to-
day who would not have bet their all
on Hughes if they had known that New
York, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Indiana
were going for the judge.
"A total of 127 electoral votes are cast
by these four states alone. This number
almost offsets the solid south vote, which
is always democratic. There are any
number OF people who believed these four
states, with normal strength in other
states, would have made Mr.. Hughes
President. There can be no doubt but
what the recent race was the most spec
tacuiar and exciting in the history of
the country. 1t was a great victory for
Mr.. Wilson alright"
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-11-18

Il aft advocated civil service
fer abs idors and ministers; but
TIE Senas lid not take to that idea.
n Tagta action was that all diplo-
matte representatives should be espe-
cially trained and that the chief posi-
ton should be held by promotion from
the secretarial staff.
But there are reasons why the Presi-
dent should be left free to select men
of distinction who have had large ex-
perience in affairs regardless Of their
so-called technical equipment. Some
of the big men who have represented
America abroad in the early days had
never had any diplomatic experience,
but they made an impression from the
start.
President Wilson will do well if he
selects only citizens of the highest
type-gentlemen of tact as well as
brains and character-for such va
cancies as he will be called upon to
fill.

A COLLEGE EDUCATION

From the Savannah Press.
Charles M Schwab is writing a series
of articles for the American Magazine.
In, the November number he gives his es-
innate OF the college man. He suggests
that the man out of college makes a
mistake in thinking his learning gives
him the privilege of working less hard
than If he was not so equipped. Says
Mr.. Schwab
"a college man, entering industry, is
worth no more to his employer than a
common school or high school boy, unless
he happens to be taking up some posi-
ton in which higher education is directly
applied. Even then he has to adjust
himself. Neither knowledge of the class
les nor mathematical proficiency can be
converted overnight into a marketa BILE
commodity.
But the steel man does not decry
higher education. He says after passing
through the preliminary stages the COL
lege man has the advantage of a thor
oughly trained mind to tackle larger
problems mind which should be broader
and more flexible because of it's greater
powers of imagination and logical rea-
soning.
No one can question the value of COL
lege training for the youth. Those who
have the problem of educating boy or
girl on their hands should see to it that
their charges are sent to college if it is
possible to do SO. All other things being
equal the youth with a diploma from a
college has an advantage over one who
Is not SO equipped.

vations of 200 to 1000 feet. the tests were
most satisfactory, it is said, although
only sufficient explosive was used to
crack the shell of the torpedo.
One OF the chief features of the Barlow
bomb. in which 1t differs radically from
bombs which depend for bursting On con-
tact with the earth or other objects, is
that it may be exploded with full force In
the air. This is said to enhance its de-
structive power to much larger degree
than any known form of contact bomb,
as it may be exploded over the heads of
troops and spread gases earthward over a.
larger surface than by any other method.

will be able to regulate to q second the
time of the explosion of the bomb. An
other unique feature of this weapon per.
mits of its use as an aerial torpedo
bomb when not desired for use as a
drop" explosive.
The bomb may be made with new
type of electric motor CIR propeller, which
would enable the aviator operator to fire
it horizontally or to direct it toward n
target in any other direction or angle.
The bombs are arranged for attaching to
the underside of an aeroplane and may
be released by foot pressure.

after seeing what the tensions had
done for the building up and the de-

HOTEL LOBBIES
All Must Pay for Fires

THE prevention Of flres is a movement
which many people look on as a kind oil
propaganda of the insurance companies, .
said II. G. Seibels, president of the Biz
nlingham Fire Prevention association
yesterday.
las matter of fact, no honest man
ever has a fire and has his property de-
stroyed without losing money, time and
worry. Quite naturally, the insurance
companies want to stop the tremendous
fire losses. If the losses are stopped for
any considerable time, the public will
reap the benefit in the matter Of reduced
rates. Therefore, this is a question in
which every property owner is vitality IN
terested. Reduced fire losses save money
to every man who has any property in
