ARMYCORPS'KIDNAPPED
London Papers INDIGNANT at Ger
man.Bulgar Coup In Greece.

LONDON. Sept. 1.-THE morning news
papers display much indignation over
the news Of the German coup at Kavala
whereby the Fourth Greek Army Corps
surrendered.
The Telegraph says:
This il an outrage OF a character
unique even in Germany record. and
certainly Is unprecedented IN history.
An entire Greel, army corps has been
literally kidnapped by Tho Germans and
Bulsarians and packed off with It's arms
and equipment TO Germany. The plot
was organized In Berlin and carried out
by the Bulgar!ans.
THE story of this miraculous interna-
.!cne! crime. adorned with .nendac!ous
excuses put forward to account for Il.
comes from the Wolf Bureau and Is a
mixture Of truth and falsshood.
THE Wo.n Bureau states that CON-
mua!cat!on between the Greek army
corps and Athens was interrupted by
the Entente. The truth Is II was cut by
the Bulgarians. The Wolf Bureau
states that the treel, commander. wish
Ing 10 maintain neutrality, appealed to
the German commander for protection
from the Entente. The truth Is the
Fourth Army Corps surrendered under
the menace OF the Bulgarians and Ger
mans and only after II was surrounded

cLAMoRINe FOR FOOD
sity entials

The people of Germany clamor for food" says dispatch bearing Copenhagen date line; The German people are hungry" says a dispatch from Amsterdam and both cities are near enough Germany to obtain at least some fairly accurate knowledge of food condi lions in that country No doubt 1t $ unfortunately too true that the German people are in need of suffic lent supply of food to meet their daily demands. t does not necessarily follow however that they are fac ing actual starvation That time has not yet been reached possibly will never be reached if there be no crop failures this year The cry for food that Is heard Is due rather to he curtaiment of ratons. for Is entirely safe to assume that with the wonderful fore sight and efficiency that Germany has displayed n>his war the government Is looking ahead. and $ pre- pairing for possible failure or shortage of crop pro- ductiou What the effect of long continued shortage of food will be upon the German people can only be urmised Judging by their past conduct they ready Co accept starvation even M by so doing Germany shall achieve victory and this thought brings the question of peace which seems to be nowhere in sight at this
 time The Entente Allies 1t is plain would not listen Co peace proposals that did carry with them rec ognitou of ther claims formulated And yet there is little doubt that the peoples of all the countries now at war are heartily sick of the savage conflict. and peace would be welcomed could 1t be brought about
 When the peoples of the various nations of the world really rule there wil be no war, because the war.makiug individuals will have place in the new order of things which will arise with the end of the European catacysm.

MURDER IN OUR COUNTRY
Cincinnati Enqu.rer)

Some writers persist in puzzng over reasons for the great ratio murders to the population of our coun try than In other "enighened' countries. No doubt prospective immunity capital punishment and ev en from any punishment because of the escape of great many has something to do with ; also. made 1uae enforcement of laws against carrying concealed weapons Killings by professional gunmen of cities by robbers in various activities in many Instances Killings due to labor troubles and through long list of acts and conditions leading Co murder In the various degrees. and manslaughter
 But that murder would continue in great numbers without the carrying of concealed weapons we kno" rom the number of posons and by the of .mpe- mens ready at hand-the ax the hatche the pick the club anything heavy and readily yielded to extnguish fife In many instances there is reconciliation, no preparati3n-ony reverson to the primal instinct to k for revenge Then there murders in great num- bers at the hands of the insane.
 We had and still have the antagonsm acoss the color lne comparatively unknown in other countries and the feuds of mountainous regions. Formerly the wild life of the West held accountable for much of the horror murder but that can hardly be urged these days
 Probably the most considerable reason for capital crimes in our country lies Tn the fact that our mmi- grafton has constantly contained large number Of the very worst characters from other countries Including undesirables from Southern Europe These have been coming to us in great numbers, to lessen the ratio or killings to the population in their own countres' ana o' course to increase that of oursas for instance South ern Italy where organized murder by societies of des perate men has long prevailed
 For this very reason those who may hope for de- crease of the ratio in our country likely to be dis appointed Tn the figures of the coming years. In the immigration of the future shall have an inundation of the worst characters of certain other countries n cuding many who have become inured by war to the net of kllinf-those to whom life has become some thing merely negligible Under stricter form of In vestigation at our ports with laws and greatly increased force of inspectors back of it, the evil of re ceving and harborng criminals might be considerably essoned We know that murder IS not nearly so com mon in proportion on the part of those who are Ameri can through several generations among foreign des peradoes with the exception of those who kill across the color line and the ignorant and mpaeabe of feuC districts
