through united action of the demo cratic powers.
 We urge the most vigorous prose cution of the war with all the strength of man and material and money which the country can sup ply.
 We stand for the speedy dispatch of the American army, however raised, to the battle front of Europe, where the armed enemies of our country can be found and fought, and where our own territory can be best defended.
 We condemn all attempts in Con. gress and out of 1t to hinder and embarrass the government of the United States in carrying on the war with vigor and effectiveness. Under whatever cover of pacifism of tech nicality such attempts are made, we deem them to be in spirit pro- German and in effect giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
 We declare the foregoing to be the sentiment of the American bar"

CRUELTY TO BRITISH
 PRISONERS IS TOLD
Wounded Kept Without Food or Water for Days, Says
 Returned Soldier.

LONDON, Sept 25.-The revolt ing cruelty to which British pris- oners are subjected in German mil itary camps was described by re- patriated soldiers who arrived in London recently. Private George Elsley of Welsh regiment, who was captured in September, 1914, said:
 Although wounded, we were kept without food or water for days, and when one of us begged for something to drink the nurse brought him glass of water and threw it in his face. Later we were removed to hospital at Schwerin, where we were well treated, and later still to the Gus trow internment camp, where, we were treated like dogs.
 Although we were badly wound ed, on our arrival at Gustrow we were kept standing in the snow without boots from 1 a. m. until 10 o'clock at night. Several of us nearly died of starvation. When we complained we were either prod ded with bayonets or the the Eng fish blockade was given as the cause of the shortage of food. The bedding was covered with vermin and we slept on straw on the floor.
 After weeks of this he'll we were set to work to build a canal. All the wounded men with arms and legs had to work, and if man slacked off he received the butt end of a rife. One day we saw several wounded men stabbed by their guards, and they were after ward carried to a hospital. One man who refused to work was taken away and we never saw him again."

MARITIME CAMOUFLAGlNG

That camouflage-deception applied to warfare for confusing or baffline an enemy-has become factor in the submarine campaign is borne out in it's application by both Allies and the Germans.
 The Germans were the first to lse camouflage. Prior to the declara tion of unrestricted submarine op erations, U-boats would often use innocent neutral merchant ships as screens. thus easily approaching their prey. Sometimes a submarine would rig up sails on its wireless masts, which would give it the ap pearance of a harmless sailing yes sel, or would set rowboat adrift as a decoy, and, submerging just behind 1t, lie in wait for victims At low levels periscopes were often camOuflaged by driftwood or by a mass of debris, and at higher lev. els made virtually invisible by mot. tied painting
 On their part, the Allies have been clever in camouflaging Dark shadows on vessels were obliterated, and the entire superstructure painted to blend with the horizon. Slow ships have made to appear speedy by having waves painted on their bows and wavy lines on the sides to match the surrounding water. This trick has been quite successful caus- ing enemy marksmen to shoot in front of the ship, in the belief that 1t was travelling swiftly. Vessels have also been made toappear much smaller than they actually were (Wall Street JournaL)
