DEBATE ON REPRISALS
Archbishop of Canterbury critieises
British Raid on Freiburo.

LONDON. May 4.-SeveraI papers
call attention to a significant debate
in the Lords on reprisals. The West
minister Gazette says:
The archbishop OF Canterbury
spoke Of the allied air bOmbardment
OF Freiburg. undertaken as a reprisal
for the sinking OF hospital ships. and
suggested that the policy was wholly
misconceived and likely to tarnish
British honor without deterring the
enemy"
The reprisal policy found only two
defenders. the two members of the
war cabinet responsible for it, Carson
and Miner. Many other speakers, in
cluding Lord Beresford. Lord Buck
master. and the Bishop Of Winchester,
condemned the Freiburg reprisal.

HARDEN APPLAUDS
OUR PART IN THE WAR
Likens Wilson'S Declaration to the
Preaching Of a Modern Crusade.

AMSTERDAM. May 4.-Maximilian
Harden. in Die zukunft. publishes the
most remarkable article which has
appeared in his weekly for a long
time past. He has gone far out into
the wilderness beyond that oasis
now considerably depopulated from
which Vorwarts breaches. and it can
scarcely be expected that the authori-
ties will calmly pass over such a
breaking OF bounds.
He begins a long article with
praise OF England. which will not
sound pleasantly in the ears of those
who keep the German people in the
dark as to what their position in the
world struggle really iss He sets
forth in contrast the "inestimable
worth OF freedom OF speech in press
and Parliament" in England. and even
has a good word 10 say for the pub
lication OF the Dardanelles report. for
"only by such light can a nation
which governs itself live"

He proceeds to show how a little
while ago the United States stood for
peace and was a peace oasis in a
world stiff with armor. 4 professor,
a Democrat, and a pacifist. was PTesi-
dent. His iFst Secretary OF State
Bryan-and his closest friend were
pillars OF peace. Nine-tenths of the
States were against war. A long list
OF Democratic associations OF all
sorts and prominent men were for
peace. When Roosevelt came for
ward as war champion he suffered
a severe defeat, rent his party. and
involved Hughes in the same fate
Yet. despite all that. on the first day
Of the life OF a new Congress, Mr.
Wilson announced his decision to
throw the military and economic
strength of the United States into the
war against the German empire"
How was such a change possible?"
Harden asks. and he supplies the an
swer by quoting in full Wilson's his
toric speech to emphasize the reply.
He quotes from the declaration by
great entente statesmen I'm Europe
Poincare. Ribot. Deschanel and Lloyd
George. referring TO the latter as "a
genial. ultra-strenuOus man OF ac-
ton"
speech Classic.
Perhaps. says Harden. Wilson
cannot reach to the heights Of those
four orators OF the first rank. but.
his speech will soon
stand in the school books with those
Of Demosthenes.. Cicero. Pitt. Mira
beau. Robespierre. Bismarck. and
and will outshine all pre-
vious and contemporary declarations.
because it came from the lips OF the
head of state who spoke as none had
spoken before in the worlds history:
who was made bold by a creed of
idealism which had not become iaccid.
and who found courage for new
things.
'On January % the world heard Mr.
peace offer. and in it the first
voice which indicated in clear. pro-
found. and considered words. not veil
ed with halting wishes. the way to
lasting peace. on April we heard
from the same mouth a declaration of
war like none since the Crusades."

Can't Feed the Allies.

THE United States can't help feed
England and France any more than
she has In the past. The people here
won't stand for ii. Prices are higher
here now than in most of the bel
ligerent countries"
This was an observation OF Baron
Won Zwiedinek. Austrian charge. who
left this country today with other
Austrian officials for home
Zwiedinek had made a careful study
OF food conditions in the United
States and maintained an up-to-the-
minute schedule of existing prices on
every commodity.
Sees Justice In Hunger.
1t was his firm conviction that so
long as prices were kept up the peo-
pie would rise up in protest against
shipping any more food to Europe.
Soon America will begin to feel
the pinch OF hunger. That is as It
should be. When this country gets
hungry along with the rest of the
world there will be more inclination
to talk reason" Zwiedinek said.
Entrance of the United States into
war will do Germany no harm," Zwie-
dinek said. she can't do any more
than she has done for the allies. And
she will only feel the pinch OF war
the sooner, and, therefore, hasten
