Germany in 1870 and 1871. Mr.. Cohen
says:
"Your editorial article, In the Times
of May 6. on the subject of Germany's
answer to the American note, contains
a very apt reference to the starvation
policy followed by Germany during
the siege OF Paris In 1901. But
perhaps. It will be just as well for the
American public, in view Of Germany's
appeal against what she calls Eng
lands inhumanity, to know exactly
what this policy meant and what Its
consequences actually were for the de-
feated party.
in 1870 the average weekly death
rate in Paris was below 800. During
the last week of the siege-that is,
during the fourth week Of January,
1S71-the number Of deaths In the
civilian population rose to nearly
5000. This means that more than 1000
people In one week died, II not actual
ly from starvation. at least because,
weakened as they were by insufficient
nourishment, they had become unable
to withstand the onslaught Of disease.
ut is next to impossible to find in
France any person that was born in
Paris during that siege-that is, be.
tween September II, 1870, and Jan
uary 81. 1s71-simply because the
poor little things born there during
that period came to life so week and
received such poor s%ustenance that
nearly every one OF them died In in.
fancy.
AT the beginning Of November
1870, there occurred a lull in the fight
ing. The neutral powers Of Europe
had secured Germany's consent to an
armistice as a preliminary to the
opening of negotiations for peace. The
French government ~thereupon put for.
ward a very moderate and reasonable
request, that while the armistice last
ed a small amount Of food should be
allowed to enter the besieged city, SO
that II negotiations failed 1t should
not find itself In worse condition than
at the time Of their inception. This
was fatty refused by Germany and
fighting was resumed.
During the whole period Of the
siege, which. lasted 1872 days, the
French lines were not once attacked
by the Germans, who relied solely
upon starvation for the reduction OF
the French capital"

! the various plans including junior high
schools and high schools where the
sexes are separated but emphasized
the fact that these issues are but local
and have no bearing on the question of
high school needs.

He raped the two-session plan,
necessarily in vogue at the Central
high school because of the over
crowded condition there. saying that
its results are unsatisfactory.
Harrisburg may adopt the famous
Gary system of instruction for the
junior high schools should the pro-
posed $1.250,000 high school loan be
passed next Tuesday.
The school authorities have care
fully investigated the system which
was inaugurated by Prof. William
Writ and is being followed success
fully in Gary, Ind. Generally speak
ing, the plan provides for the instruc-
ton of the children in things and hap
penings in the world about them that
are not necessarily confined to books
and theories and the whole scheme is
worked out so pleasantly and satisfac-
torily that the child actually loves his
school work. Voluntary schools are
almost as well attended on Saturdays
and during the summer months as the
regular sessions at which attendance
lis compulsory.

Crown Prince Swears to

new and greater efforts against the
French stronghold, these advices say,
declaring that under no condition
would he relax his offensive or abandon

That thos means a renewal of the

lines and the prodigal expenditure of
human lives.
