verted within a few weeks into

d, GERMANS JAIL EDITOR
Dutehman Sent to Prison for At
tack on Milltarlsm.

AMSTERDAM, March 25.-Mr.
Schroeder, the editor of the Amster-
dam Telegraph, has been condemned
to three months Imprisonment for an
article published in June, 1915, con-
taIning the words "in Central Europe
there is a group of constituencies
scoundrels who caused the war"
The case has been heard five times.
Schroeder was first acquitted, but the
case went from court to court until
1t reached the supreme court of The
Hague, a fortnight ago. The procur-
eur-general said the Telegraph pur-
sued a course of consistent provoca-
tion and irritation toward Germany.
Schroeder stated that by the "scoun-
drels" he meant representatives of
Prussian militarism. Counsel also
referred as evidence of the Tele-
graphs policy to Raennakers' car
toons.
The London editor Of the TeIegraaf
writes to the Times: "The Germans
and their friends in Holland have not
been able to silence our paper. About
a dozen prosecutions have been
launched against It and have fsiled,
but now Germany has at last the
to find our editor SEN
fenced to three months imprisonment
for having written the unvarnished
truth that this war was caused by a
group Of scoundrels in Central Eu-
rope.
This is an extraordinary sentence
for a Dutch court to pass only a
short time after the Germans sank
not less than ten Dutch ships. In
this sentence Schroeder
will be treated as an ordinary GRIM
Inal. Meanwhile certain Dutch pa
pers continue to attack and slander
the entente allies"

SAFEGUARDING THE CHILDREN

The national child labor committee
which has been holding its annual
conference in Baltimore the past few
days has squarely faced the situa-
tion in which the country finds itself,
and has manifested in its papers and
addresses the determination that the
interests of childhood shall not be
neglected no matter what the future
. may bring. The conference passed
unanimously a resolution asking
Congress to appropriate the $500, 900
asked for by the Department of
Labor for enforcing the Federal
child labor law, and good part of
its attention was paid to the inter-
ference with education which un-
necessary farm work brings to the
country boy, while one meeting, was
devoted to the proposal for Federal
aid to elementary education, that the
reproach of illiteracy may be speedily
lifted from our country. The ad-
dresses breathed,a spir:s of pure
patriotism and served to correct
current impression that all social
workers are mollycoddles and
pacifsts.
In the warning countries of Eu-
rope, even in Great Britain, safe |
from military invasion, the stand
ards for the protection of childhood
which it has taken a hundred years
of effort to rear, have been let down
by a suspension of the laws during
the period of war. There is no need
that this should happen in America,
and social workers generally will
best perform their task by leaving
to those responsible the direction of
the destinies of the nation along po-
litical lines while they devote them
selves to their proper job of stand
ing for the protection of the weak
and helpless against exploitation
even in the name of patriotism. 1t
was suggested at the conference that
social workers generally should
adopt the inspiring motto that was
so frequently on the lips of English
men at the beginning of the war,
Business as usual"

THE NEW HOUSE

There will be eighty-nine new
members Of the Congress that is to
convene next week. but there have
been few changes from among the
leaders of either party. Kent of
California is the most picturesque
figure to retire, but his appointment
on the Tariff Commission will allow
him to remain a familiar figure in
Washington. Lloyd of Missouri is
another strong man who retired of
his own volition. Sparkman of
Florida was defeated by constituents
who might have been supposed to
applaud his services to his State as
chairman of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee. Alfalfa Bill Murray of
Oklahoma, and Galloway and Cy-
clone Davis of Texas will be more
missed than their absence will be
deplored.
There are some additions of note
to the House. Burton L. French, of
AOdIlO, was q lOTHcE HleInDeT VINO
failed in his ambition to reach the
Senate. William E. Mason was a
former Senator from Illinois, and
Jared Y. Sanders was an able gov
ernor of Louisiana. Stephenson of
South Carolina is perhaps the ablest
man South Carolina has sent to the
House in many a year, succeeding
the late Representative Finley.
Mayor Lam, of Schenectady, is a
Democratic-Socialist of parts and pa
triotism. There will also be, as every |
one knows, a "lady from Montana"
When she or one of her sisters gets
10 the Senate. there will be less en-
Darrassment in addressing her or re-
ferring to her, as the Senate, accord
ng to John Sharp Williams, sis the
only parliamentary body in the world
n which it is unparliamentary to ad-
iress fellow-member as a gentle
man, This sometimes saves embar-
even now.

KIPLING QUITS IN PROTEST
Resigns Society Of Authors Because
of Charity Books.

LONDON, March 25.-The Times re-
prints from the British Weekly the
following extract:
"Rudyard Kipling, enclosing his
check for $500 toward the pension
fund. has sent hiS resignation from
the Society OF Authors, on the ground
that the action OF the committee and
its acceptance by his fellow-members
prove that he is altogether out of
sympathy with the present views Of
the society.
apparently is caused by a difference
of opinion as to the charity books
published in aid of the war, is greatly
regretted by the committee. He has
been a member of the society for

GREAT FALLS, Mont. March 25.-

JAPAN SEEKS BRAZIL TRADE
Manufacturers Making Effort to

RIO DE JANEIRo. March 1.-(By
MaiD.-Japanese manufacturers are
making. a bid for Brazilian trade. Ad-
vertising letters and circulars show
ing a systematic propaganda are
being sent to all the importers and
big buyers of this city. Recent pro-
posals to inaugurate a Japanese
steamship service between this coun-
try and Japan, and Japanese colon
ization OF Brazilian states, have met
with encouragement here, and it is
very evident that the Mikado's sub
jects mean to push every advantage

from Macon, Ga, where. as Southern
