CTS and informers. Some seem to have served both sides honestly and earned the approval of both and some do not seem to have known which side they sympathized with.
 Introducing ''Perl1y."
 A notable case is '"Trukharoff'--re name Nikitin, nickname "Perky"- who aroused the suspicion of his ter rorist comrades, was threatened by them with execution, and to rehabili- tate himself was obliged to kill the gendarme officer with whom he col laborated. The murder of Grand Duke Sergius in Moscow in February. 1905. was due to the same motive.
 The organization of crime, with the aim of discrediting non-terrorist poli- tical associations and frightening Nicholas into repression, went on on a great scale. For blood money of S15O a mechanic was hired by the depart ment to fire at General Djunkowski, governor of Moscow, but he was in structed to be sure to miss. He executed his instructions precisely, but through carelessness killed a passerby.
 In violation of the Nihilist novel tra- dttion very few women were employed es spies or informers, but a few noted cases have been exposed. In Moscow three sisters named Palitsin betrayed scores of workmen after getting con- fessions from them by means of simu- lating love.
 The commissions lists show that the department was a hard taskmaster. Tn addition to paying It's spies badly 1t spied on them. Every security de- partment record contains note of the spy's history. Some are described as "moderately good," others as 'in- different" others as having "betrayed many revolutionaries," others as "en- ergetic but unreliable" and others as doubtful, should be watched

CHRISTIANITY?

Following Is an extract from pas toral letter read in all the Protestant churches of Berlin last Sunday:
 We will comport ourselves as Christians toward our enemies and conduct the war, in the future as tn the past, with humanity and chival- ry."
 Taking that news. dispatch, the Dutch newspapers print in an adjoin- ing column an account of the mur- der of the crew of the British steam CT Belgian Prince. Having stripped members of this crew of their life belts, the submarine warriors of the Kaiser then set the men adrift in small boats. and promptly torpedoed these boats. Evidently, the pastoral letter read in the Berlin churches was not sent out by wireless to the sub marine commanders.
 Christianity, Christianity, wha 1 crimes are committed in thy name!

BRIBES OFFERED TO
 EXEMPTION BOARDS
Lawyers Also Wax Wealthy on
 Credulous RegiStrantS

New York, Aug. s.-Federal officials began yesterday Investigating charges of attempted bribery and fraud in connection with the army drafting in New York and at the same time made known that the war de- partment is preparing to appeal every doubtful claim for exemption filed with a local board. Mere claims for exemption will not be sufficient. The government will undertake to prove to boards, sitting as courts of appeal, that thousands of such claims should not be allowed.
 Roscoe S. Conkling representing the adjutant general, obtained evidence that bribes had been offered to mem bers of local boards and examining physicians to obtain exemption. Twelve such cases are being investi- gated Those seeking to buy freedom from military service have made offers and the evidence is being pre- pared by agents of the department of justice and the United States marshal for presentation to the United States attorney. The would-be bribers will be prosecuted.
 The mayors committee on national defense is assisting MT. Conkling and tho adjutant general in gathering evil dence that unscrupulous lawyers are holding up registrants for large fees on promises of obtaining emption In one district a local board posted notice that blank forms could be ob- tained from a lawyer who was named. It was found the lawyer was selling the blanks, which could not be ob- tained at headquarters. with his ser vices for filling them out for $15. The board was instructed to take down the notice. Officials state they probab ably

yers, but the names and records of conduct will be turned over to the Bar association. Philip J. McCook direc- tor of the mayors committee, said he had proof that lawyers had been charging fees of $5 to assist regis trants. The mayors committee con- demned the practice.
 MT. Conklng personally investigated the case of a man who was passed by a local board as fit physically, then re- jected as unfit because of rapid pulse The man was summoned to headquar- ters in the state arsenal and examined and passed. and the local board was instructed to ,curtjfy him as able to do military duty. The conduct of the board and it's physicians Is being in vestigated.

Speak Gently !

1 Speak gently! It is better far
 To rule by love than fear, Speak gently-let no harsh words mar
 The good we might do here. Speak gently! Love doth whisper low
 The vows that true hearts bind; i And gently friendships acents flow; 1 Affectons voice Is kind. 1 Speak gently to the little child; It's love be sure to gain; Teach it in accnts soft and mild It may not long remain. Speak gently to the young for they Will have enough to bear. Pass through this life as best they may
 'TiS full of anxious care! Speak gently to the aged one,
 Grieve not tho care-Worn heart, The sands of life arc nearly run,
 Let such in peace depart. Speak gently, kindly, to the poor;
 Let no harsh tone be heard; They have enough they must endure
 Without an unkind word! Speak gently to the erring-know
 How frail are all! how vainl Perchance unkindness made them so,
 Oh! win them back again. Speak gently--He who gave His life
 To bend mans stubborn will, When elements were In free strife,
 Said to them--"Peace, be still" Speak gently! 'Tis a little thing
 Dropped in the hearts deep well! The good, the joy, which it may bring,
 Eternity shall tell.

TRFASONABLE TALK.
Newspaper, Printed in English, Deals in Lies Made Out of Whole Cloth,
 Aiding and Comforting the Enemy.

The Gaelic American says in it's issue of July 2S:
 Now we learn that the French peo- pie has been on the verge of mutlny, believing that the war could only end in it's own extinction and the ruin Of their country. The story tells how nothing but the arrival in France of General Pershing, with only limited number of United States troops, ar rested movement for surrender to the Germans, which would have left their British Allies in the air and ended the war on the West Front. Even now, it seems, the danger of collapse is not entirely averted, for the French soldiers say that unless the American contingent Is of such a size as to assure victory over the Germans they will give in for they are tired of being lied to and deceived. No at tempt has been made to contradict or : disprove these statements; it is, there 1 fore to be concluded that they are founded on fact which constitutes a 1 most serious condition of affairs, not only for the Allies in Europe, but also l for those in this country who have placed us in a highly compromised situation in every respect"
 This kind of talk is absolutely trea- sonable. The motive behind it is plain to paint a discouraging picture of l conditions in France, discredit the gal | lant French army and help to palsy 1 the arm of the American government. | The Gaelic Americans story Is false and contemptable from beginning s to end It has no basis in fact and is l deltbera tely manufactured. It is simply part and parcel of the per sistent anti-American propaganda that clothes itself in hypocritical garments and zealously attempts to deceive that portion of the American public which it Is able to reach through its malevo | lent sheets.
 1t is time to suppress traitorous ut terances like this. They are doing m | sidious harm, some of them in Ger man-language papers and others, as In this instance in English. They are l interruptions and unpatriotic. They have no regard for the truth and they are intended, of course, to give aid and l comfort to the enemy.

THE U-BOAT'S TASK.

It is the task of the submarine campaign to starve England into sub mission. That was the original ob- ject of the ruthless U-boat campaign as outlined by von Tirpitz. That Is the object today. Just how much of this job has been accomplished may be seen from figures given out re- gently by the British minister of blockade. If this statement is true, the British tonnage afloat at this time is approximately 15,0OO,000, than England possessed at the be- ginning of the war.
 We are now over the threshhold of tho great wars fourth year. In the three years gone by the German sub marines have sunk a little more than eleven per cent. of British tonnage To those who look for encourage ment, this should provide it. The task of the submarine is here shown to be greater than had at first been imagined. At the rate of destruction maintained in the past three years it would take Germany almost ten years more to to totally destroy Englands s shipping. And, until shipping is abso- lutely stopped between England and the other nations of the earth, the U-Boat blockade will avail practical Iy nothing. To starve the people of England every boat plying between the United States and British ports must be sent to the bottom or driven from the high seas.
 In connection with the statement given out by the minister of blockade it must be remembered that ship building has not been brought to standstill by the war. on the con- trary, there is more activity III tnls line of endeavor than ever before took place. Ships are being con- structed almost as fast as others are being destroyed by the pernicious submarine If the U-boats had a clear field, if there were no ship building going on, they might effect complete blockade of the British Isles. Even at that, 1t would take years to accomplish this Herculean task. This is thought iametrically opposed to the alarrnist statements which had been going the rounds. And ostensibly, 1t is backed up by the facts. U-boat warfare is not as | successful as many suppose.

The New Sunday Daw.
(New York World)


 Connectcut's blue laws had not gained in veneration in their three centuries of statutory life. For years they had ranked as hindrances and nuisances of cumulative weight. They gave rise to dlscontent at home and to derision abroad. Nothing could better become them than their yield Ing of place to the more modern ordi- nances of the State which went into effect last Sunday.
 What Connecticut has done finally Is to recognize the fact that on the first day of the week people must and do live, just as they must live on< other days of the week. Many other States were beforeher in taking this step. Others have not yet stepped so far. All of them will be brought eventually to the realization, grown keen since the period of strict Puri- tanism. that men cannot be forced into church-going by restricting them oth- erwise on Sundays to breathing and to partaking of Saturdays cold meats.
 Connecticut has not arrived at the perfect Sunday Law. No State code has reached the ideal in that particu- lar. Tradition and hypocrisy are in the way of attainment. In New York, in particular, the great metropolitan district, with it's complexities of popu- lation, customs and living conditions, Is sorely handicapped by that finger ing fear of rural prejudice and votes which keeps political legislators at Albany from voting for the right ways as they know them.
 The latest New England example in liberality, nevertheles Is encouraging.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS"
Writer Recalls Rarbary Coast in F'ris- co and Offers a Good Meal to RoogS

Writer Recalls Rarbary Coast in F'ris- co and Offers a Good Meal to Boggs. To the Editor of the Herald:
 Tonight l read in the editorial columns of your paper Q communicat- ed article from one l.. K Boggs, and it did my heart good to see it. He spoke therein about the old Barbary Coast in San Francisco. and it awak- ened in my mind scenes that have long since transpired. Ye gods, but Time does fly. It has been some twenty years since I was in San Francisco, and I shall never forget the old town. Next to New Britain I like 1t best of all the towns in America. I will not even except Denver. which Is a pretty good old stamping grounds" It is strange how MT. Bogs happened to touch on subject that is so near to my heart. For all the time I have been in New Britain have never met anyone who knows anything about old San Francisco, as used to know it. I wonder if it would be asking too much for you to put mo in touch with him. I am getting kind of up in years, but I will take the night off and buy Mir. Boggs one of the best meals he ever ate in his life if he will meet me any time this week and go over the old scenes along Kearney street. and Market street, and Curtis street and the Barbary Coast. Believe me, l would give all the world for such session. Tell Boggs to come this way.
