London, Jan. 1$.-The British
official view on the German note
regarding the Bralong case, as
given out tonight follows:
1.-THE Germans claim that their army
and navy have observed during the
present war the principles of interna-
tional law and humanity, and that the
German authorities take care that all
violations will be carefully investigat-
ed and punished.
Bitter Charges
Some surprise is expressed that the
nation whose armed forces have been
responsible for the sack of Louvain,
the murder Of hundreds Of unoffending
men, women and children on the Lus-
itania and other ships. the execution
of Edith Cavell the introduction Of
poisonous gases, the poisoning Of wells,
attempted torpedoing Of hospital ships
and countless other atrocities should
describe their methods Of warfare as
humane.
The Arabic Case
1T is further pointed out that it
would be interesting to know how
many German subjects, if any, have
been punished for these atrocities. The
Germans claim that the Arabic was
torpedoed because the commander Of
the submarine had the conviction that
the Arabic was about to ram the sub
marine. The true facts are that the
Arabic was deliberately sunk by a
German submarine without warning
and that she neither attempted to at
tack the submarine nor escape from it,
The Attack on Els
with regard to the destruction Of
the British submarine E-13 in Danish
waters by a German torpedo boat de-
stroyer, it is claimed that it came to
a fight between the war vessels, and
that the submarine defended itself with
gunfire. The true facts are as follows:
1.-THE Germans found the submarine
stranded in neutral waters and incap-
able of either offense or defense The
German destroyer fired a torpedo at
the E-13. The torpedo exploded close
to her. At the same moment the Ger
man destroyer fired with all her guns,
and the commander of the E-13. whose
submarine was afire fore and aft, and
who was unable to defend himself ow-
ing to being aground, gave orders to
the crew to abandon her. While the
men were in the water they were fired
on by machine gun and with shrap-

As Reprisai Measure

1.-THE Germans defend their action in
the case Of the Ruel on the ground that
it was a measure of reprisal in accord
ance with measures adopted by the
German government in February 1915.
1t is claimed that these reprisals are
legitimate owing to the action of Great
Britain in attempting to cut off from
Germany all imports and starve the
German people. The Germans thus
maintain their submarine policy in con-
sequence of the British measures
against German trades.
This is, of course. quite untrue, the
exact opposite being the case AS far
back as December 1914, Admiral Won
Tipitz foreshadowed the submarine
blockade of Great Britain and subma-
rine raids were made on a merchant
ship and hospital ship on JAN 80 and
Feb. l. respectively. Moreover, as far
back as September 1914, a Dutch shin
with a cargo Of grain for Dublin and
Belfast was sunk by the Karlsruhe and
the American ship w. P. Frye, sim
larly was sunk on Jan. 20.
Further. on Feb. 4. the German gov
stituting general submarine blockade
of Great Britain and Ireland with the
avowed purpose of cutting off all sup
plies from these islands and this block
ade was put into effect on Feb. IS.
1T was only on March II that the
British government put into force. as a
means Of reprisals. measures against
German trade which the German gov
eminent tries to maintain were the cause
of their submarine policy.

 Homer s. Cummings
Especial to the Herald.)


 Washington, May 3O-Democratic National committeeman Homer $. Cummings, of Connecticut, has gone home after seeing number of friends in administration circles here besides making arguments in the Donovan-FIill contested election case. Business and political matters took him to several of the executive de- partments of the government. He is reported to have discussed politics at the White House. where his ad- vice in the capacity of vice chairman of the democratic national commit tee is highly valued
 At the department of justice Mr. Cummings saw Attorney General Gregory and conferred with him for some time. It was at that department that MT. Cummings put over Thomas S. Spellacy as United States district attorney for Connecticut. MT. Gum mings and the attorney general are both interested in the various branches of the litigation growing out of the New Haven railroad contro- versy. MT. Gregory is head of the governments interest in such mat ters, while MT. Cummings has been representing John l.. Billiard of Mer- iden and, 1t is said, others connect ed with the railroad end of the case.
 MT. Cummings has long been re- garded as an authority on politics and political history. He is now be- coming a rival of Speaker Champ Clark as a relator of anecdotes. his torical, biographical, and political.

 "The candidate for the legislature for whom the farmer intended to vote was beaten by just one vote. It was all due to the imprisoned pig. The man who was elected to the legisla- ture by a single vote voted for a certain candidate for United States senator, who was elected by one vote. Afterward this senator was called upon to vote on the question of de- claring war aginst Great Britain. That proposition was carried by just one vote. 2>
 "The war of 1912 followed between the United. States and Great Britain, which in the course of time resulted in the battle of New Orleans. The hero of that battle in which the British were bardly worsted was Jackson, who became a pop ular idol and before many years was elected president. In this chain of events it is the logical deduction that but for that pig that got stuck in

Before the late governor was put
away the telegraph and mails were
kept busy. A chronic oftlce-seeker is
not usually over-nice in observing pro-
prieties. but it would seem that a
shock like that the people of Mime
sofa sustained might have put dam
per on them for time. Here is what
Gov. Burnquist thinks about it: EN-
tering the Office Of Governor upon the
death of the peoples choice for that
position renders it entirely out of
place for me to make any immediate
changes. All Of the appointees in
Governor Hammond's office have un-
doubtedly made plans upon the sup
position that they would hold their
respective Offices for at least a year
longer. Sudden changes under such
circumstances would be inconsiderate
and unfair. No changes, therefore,
will be made until found necessary,
and then not until sufficient time has
elapsed and sufficient notice been CIV
en- to enable the appointees to make
satisfactory arrangements as to their
future.

Appio Pie Order.

To feel in apple pie order is a phrase
which dates back to Puritan times-to
a certain Hepzibah Merton. It seems
that every Saturday she was accus-
toned to bake two or three dozen ap-
pie pies, which were to last her fam
lily through the coming week. These
she placed carefully on her pantry
shelves. labeled for each day of the
week, 80 that Tuesdays pies might
not be confused with Thursdays nor
those presumably large or intended for
washing and sweeping days eaten
when household lab9rs were lighter.
Aunt Hepzibah's "apple pie order" was
known throughout the entire settle
ment and originated the well known

BONDS AND TAXATION.

An exchange expresses mystif1cation
over the proposition Of the Admins
trat1on to carry out its preparation
program with taxes, and to issue
bonds for building a merchant mar
inc; and confesses that it can see no
difference in issuing bonds to pay for
war ships and issuing bonds to pay
for merchant ships. The two under
takdngs are radically different; they
are rs distinct as the borrowing of
money to spend for pleasure, and Dor
rowing money to put in legitimate
business. II fifty million dollars is
spent for merchant ships, and the en-
terprise IL conducted on business prin-
ciples-and it should not be conduct
ed any other way-a sinking fund will
be provided from the earnings to take
up the bonds when due. II the same
amount be spent on war ships, there
will be no sinking fund, and the ships
will be- worn out by the time the
bonds are due. To issue bonds for
war ships means for this generation
TO build the ships, and for the next
Eeneration to pay for them-when
they are obsolete. Bonds issued to
pay for merchantmen will be paid by
the generation that has the use Of
the ships. All government expendi
lures that leave no permanent wealth
should be met by the generation that
makes them. Those expenditures that
do leave permanent wealth can con-
sistently be paid for by the genera
ton that gets the wealth. Whether
or not the Administration should is
sue bonds for the building of a mer.
chant marine, It should not issue
bonds for the building of warships, or
for other military expenditures.-The
