Japs Release Aust1.ians.

Tokio, July 15.-Thirteen natives of the Trentino, Carso and adjoining districts of Austria who were serving as blue jackets on the Austrian cruis- CT Kaiserin< Eliza beth which was sunk at Tsingtau. and who were taken prisoners at the surrender of the fort ress have been released by the Japan est authorities and are to be returned to Italy.
 Although nominally enemy prison CTS all their sympathies were with the Entente allies, and their relations with the other prisoners were, in con- sequence, strained. One of the men was discovered attempting to commit suicide, his explanation being that life was unbearable under the conditions in the camp.
 The next order will be for athletic apparatus to equip the gymnasium feature of the club now nearing com pletion. This equipment will include wrestling mats, punching bags, boxing gloves, weight machines, horses, row. ing machines and other fixtures es- sential to an up-to-date gymnasium will be ready about Agust 1. Besides six shower baths there will be a tea room and a place where the men can purchase CODaCCOS ana light refresh ments at pre-war prices.

Black Coffee Popular Drink.

Base American Flotillas in British Waters July 24-Black coffee Is the popular drink with the men over here in Uncle Sam's teetotal navy. Steam ing hot coffee is always on tap on board the destroyers when they are out looking for submarines. The men say it not only keeps them awake but serves also as a stlmu- lant and protector against the rigor- ous climatic conditions under which they labor. They have not yet car ried on board ship the afternoon tea habit which they have formed ashore and found such a satisfactory SUD- stitute for the use of alcoholic drinks.
 The vast majority of the men say they do not miss the absence or ln- toxicating drink on board their ships. Those who want to can get 1t ashore from midday until eight in the even ing but for the vast majority the 1iuuor saloons have very little charm. The record of the men as whole in this respect. say their officers, has been one of the gratifying features of their stay here.
 The patrols, therefore. have very little to do but walk up and down the main street of the village In search of the trouble that seldom comes.

WHY CHIDE THE GF,NERAEP

Many newspapers having evinced for some time past a spirit of ill tenn per against General Hugh L. Scott. thief of Staff, of the United States Army, take this occas sion to recall a prophecy the General made some time ago as to the Russian soldiers pro- cl1Vltles to fight Dispatches from Petrograd to this country told of the Generals military observations on the easternfront, and gave this interview as purporting to come from him:
 The Russian Army is going to fight. The spirit among the troops is every where excellent. The advance bril- liantly begun has every chance of a successful continuation"
 Shortly after the General gave the soldiers of the New Republic such a. glowing tribute as to their fighting ability these same soldiers turned and ran from the enemy. All of which gave the newspaper critics of General Scott good chance to deride his
 
 fact that the General never made a great reputation as prophet one newspaper jokingly remarks that "as 8 prophet, General Scott is an able military man.. F4e is warned that it is time he learned a lesson in prophet ic moderation after what happened since his Petrograd observations It is indeed an em barfasing situa- tion General Scott finds himself in; but then we see no reason for chiding him at this time. So far as his pro- clivities as a prophet may go, we have | nothing to say. So far as anyone can 1 tell just what the Russian troops are liable to do we have this to say No one but the Almighty can tell what 1 present war their career has been one series after another of ups and downs. ] When the Entente Allies expected the l Russians to be thoroughly inane and weak In the hands of the Germans, 1 the Russians stepped forward and 1 fought like men. When the Allies ex- pccted the Russians to do battle as 1 the Russians should, the Russians fled l in disma.y before the enemy Not even the Germans, who were working and i intriguing among them, knew what 1 the Russians would do next.
 This being the case, we can excuse General Scott on his failure as 8 pro- phet, while we sympathize with him

LAUDS '. M. L. A. FOR
 ITS WORK IN WAR
Yiscount Bryce Believes It Will Play Big Role With Americans

London, July 25. - (Correspon- dence)-Viscount Bryce, former Brit ish ambassador to the United States, has written a letter to B. c. Carter, secretary for France and England of the Young Mems Christian associa- ton, commenting the work of that organization among the soldiers of the Entente Allies and suggesting that the American association will be able to render the greatest possible service to the American expeditionary forces.
 Arrangements for the work of the American organization are we'll under way both in France and in England, but definite and positive plans will not be completed until more is known of the strength of the American forces. where they will be located and when they will arrive. Mean while the Young Mems Christian as- sociation Is doing everything possible to provide for comfort and entertain ment of those American sailors and soldiers who already are in Europe.
 T can truly say," Viscount Bryce writes in his letter. that I have heard from every quarter. including many naval and military authorities, the warmest acknowledgment of the excellent work done by the Young Mems Christian association during these three terrible years of war, for the British, Canadian and Australian soldiers both in camps here and at home and among the troops on the various fighting fronts. Many plans have been devised, many methods successfully employed, to provide for their benefit comforts, recreation, lit erature of the right sorts and many other wholesome influences.
 "I believe that the American as- sociation, which will have the ad- vantage of our experience which will be worked with true American en- ergy, and which may command even larger funds than we had, may ren- der the greatest possible services in France to those American soldiers who Britain and France rejoice to welcome as their allies in this fight for freedom and right"

pire once more tremb bles under your strokes. Both countries sacrificed themselves for the interests of others and are now bleeding to death. In Macedonia you forcibly withstood the enemy's assaults. In mighty battles on the western front you remain the master of the situation. Your lines are firm. protecting your beloved homes against the terrors and devas tations of war. Victory in the coming year will be on our side and on that of our allies. Ours will be the final victory The war goes on. It is still being forced upon us. We shall fight for our existence in the fu- ture with firm resolution and unfa1l- ing courage. As our problems multi ply so does our strength increase. We are invincible. We shall be victorious. The Lord God will be with us."
 There is nothing left to be desired after that peroration. There is 10 sign of desideratum there,-no want felt, no acknowledgeme of defeat. tickled with such peppery food, must wax in glowing satisfaction after such sumptuous banquet of optimism. Victory, victory, victory, and yet more ment that outsiders read the simple admission to the German people that some of the German soldiers are lan- gushing in captivity With such victories that the Kaiser depicts one wonders just how the war ever last ed so long, or why single soldier should have been taken from him.
 If it should so happen that all the plans of the House of Hohenzollern and the Junkertum of Germany should miscarry and that instead of this final victory" there should come ignominious defeat. we wonder what the Kaiser would tell the German peo- pie after the allied armies of the world had marched through Berlin. Unless he were 'dethroned before such a catastrope, unless the German peo- ple' before that had seen fit to end his reign, he might throw his ermine nonchalantly over his right shoulder and address the populace somewhat as follows
 Subjects: Now that the war has ended with a complete victory for our forces I have ordered the defeated armies of the Entente allies and the United States and other nations to march before me in abject surrender. AS all along I have desired neither conquest or gain of any kind, I turn over the keys of Berlin to these de- feated warriors who shall. so long as they wish to remain amongst us and enjoy our hospitality, be treated as visitors and gAests of the Empire. The war which was forced upon us has ended. We have fought valiantly for our very existence and we have been successful. We had the Lord God With us all the time. We are invincible. so we shall ever remain. Tn our vic- tory, however, we shall be gracious even to our defeated enemies"
