Relief for Prisoners of War

1t will be relief to many whose rela-
tives or friends are prisoners of war to
learn that the recent conference of Brit
ish and German delegates at The Hague
was not held in vain. Considerable i'm
provement in the treatment of civil and
military prisoners seems at last to have
been secured. Direct repatriation is to
be resumed, with greater leniency in the
medical qualifications; it is agreed, more
over, that many of the more seriously dis
abled in Switzerland are to be sent home
TO make room for others and that all
commissioned and non-commissioned off
GERS who have been held for more than
year and a half are eligible for intern
ment in neutral countries. Holland has
consented to take $500 of these, besides
1000 civilian prisoners. The punishment
of prisoners for various offences has also
been regulated and reprisals against in
dividuals have been abandoned.
This news will be welcomed with great
Joy in Great Britain, where the anxiety
felt on account of prisoners in German
hands has increased greatly since we broke
eff relations with Berlin. The presence
of Mr.. Gerard had wholesome influence
On the German authorities, and, according
to information received in England, there
is no doubt that the treatment of British
prisoners of war has grown worse during
the last few months.
There were many complaints at what
seemed to the friends of those unhappy
captives to be a certain indifference on
the part of the British government TO
their welfare, and many wild proposals
were made by way of compelling the Ger
mans to be more merciful. 1t was sug-
gested, for instance, that an end might at
once be put to the scandal "if the houses
Of Parliament were 10 pass resolution
that no peace terms would be entertained
until the persons known TO be implicated

and that they and any others found TO
have acted in a similar manner would be
tried by court martial, and If found guilty

clamor for peace and would go on bended
knees to Germany to have peace lest Ger
many should ultimately destroy them.
What sort of peace would this be? How
long would it be before Germany would
strike again if all that she suffered had
been already repaid in the harm and injury
done to her enemies? How long would
Germany refrain from new assault after
she had been convinced by craven world
that it lacked the spirit the courage, the
strength to resist her?
We have passed through three years of
terrible war. We are nearer to victory at
this moment than at any time since the
war began. We shall lose the war now, if
we lose it at all, not upon the battlefelds,
but around the green table. There never
was time in human history when it was
more necessary TO fight and more futile to
talk, and there never was a war since the
beginning of strife in which the issue was
more clearly written, more unmistakable.
1t is good thing and hopeful thing to
see the nations which have long fought
Germany united in a rededication of all they
have to the common cause of civilization.
The United States should set its hand and
seal to the latest Paris document. The
American people should join the French,
the British, the Italian, the Russian, in
resolution to have no peace which does not
establish the right of every race, big and
little, to live its own life; of every human
being-man, woman and child--to live,
even when a German purpose is served by
numbering them.
The German sought to conquer the
world by arms and failed He sought to
conquer it by terror, and he has failed
There are German agents all over the
world now seeking to disorganize the
armies of the nations which have fought
Germany and to accomplish within the ma
tions at war what German arms have been
unable to accomplish on the field. Let us
not mistake their purpose or serve their
ends.

A Champion of Truth

Some weeks ago The Tribune had occa-
sion to warn unsuspecting readers against
some counterfeit news and figures pub
lshed by Mr.. Ridder in his "New Yorker
Staats-Z Zeitung" by way of enabling Amer
leans definitely to determine the success
of the submarine campaign" Remarking
that the truth was "bad enough" and that
it was difficult indeed to eXaggerate the
gravity of the submarine menace" we pro-
tested against Mr.. Riders disingenuous
endeavor to propagate "gross and delib-
crate falsehoods on the pretence of supply
ing natural reports of facts"
Mr. Ridder did not offer to explain his
duplicity, for no explanation was possible.
The rebuke ranked, however, and now he
has the effrontery to offer his paper as
model of veracity in these terms: .-.
The "Staats- -Zetung" has always believed
that more good will come of publishing the
truth about the submarine menace and rous-
ing the American people to the seriousness
of it than from following the policy of such
papers as The New York Tribune, which
WOulu lull NHeHl " ulSdobtI III tHe SiauiS VI
easy complacency.
AS an illustration of his passion for
truth it may be noted that in the preceding
paragraph he praises Mr.. Grasty for doing
this country "a real service" by publishing
"the truth about the submarine menace, y
while he knows well that the figures at
tributed to Mr.. Grasty were false, that
Mr.. Grasty himself has categorically re-
pudiated them, and that the telegraph COM
pany which transmitted the message has
accepted full responsibility for the error, an
error amounting to exactly million tons.

There Used To Be

tFrom The London Punch
There used to be fairies In Germany
know, for I've seen them there
In great cool wood where the tall trees
stood
With their heads high up in the air;
They scrambled about in the forest
And nobody seemed to mind
They were dear little things (tho' they didn't
have Wings,
And they smiled and their eyes were kind
What, and oh! what were they doing
To let things happen like this'
How could it be? And didn't they see
That folk were going amiss?
Were they too busy playing,
Or can they perhaps have slept,
That never they heard an ominous word
That stsalthily crept and crept?
There used to be fairies in Germany
The children will look for them still;
They will search all about till the sunlight
slips out
And the trees stand frowning and chill.
"The flowers" they will say, "have all
vanished
And where can the fairies be Aed
That played in the fern ?"-The flowers will
return,
But fear that the fairies are dead.

II ,cas "only scrap of paper"
Incloscd in crystal ball,
But it carried the Hope Of half the ioorld
And spelled the Fate Of all.
Not since the Arab ciphe-ed,
Or Egypt graved on stone.
Have Figures drawn from Freedoms pawn
Such wealth Of blood and bone.
For Figures were things Of Business,
OF diagram, map and chart;
The barren dross of Profit and Loss,
The numbers of The Mart
Till Destiny seized tablet
And took in her hand pen,
And, scorning shame, plunged into game
Whose stakes were Million Men.
There where the Elders gathered
Exalted of heart and soul
At Her command cropping hand
Drew a cube from the teemng bowl.
And one broke the seal, and another
Wrote the answer down on a slate;
Then, shrill and high, rose the echoing cry:

Merely gambling score ~

And the voice of Hundred Million
Goes booming across the sea:

Let them ride the rare to Succor and SaUe

Let them fash like SWords DER the KdiSers

'Dane"
From The Manchester GUARDIAN

From The Manchester GUARDIAN
The title Of Dame" to be revived in .he
new order, is old enough to be new to mem
bers of the present generation, and will
doubtless undergo the gentle rdicule that
awaits all novelties. Was it not said of the
now almost venerated Victoria Cross sixty
years ago that if man were to stand with
a tray of crosses at a country fair he would
not sell them at four penny? The Primrose
League was probably the last institution to
be associated with the title of Dame" and
its use of the appellation was not uniformly
successful. In one Scottish village Prim-
rose habitaton was created, and titles dis
tributed with a lavish hand, but the institu-
ton did not survive its first meeting.
titled lady came down specially, and at
preliminary "swaree," in her endeavor to be
affable and properly respectful at one and
the same time, addressed one or two of the
local ladies by their Primrose title Of Dame"
As a phrase on a parchment the term was not
amiss, but to be addressed to ones face as
Dame" was another matter Dame IN
deed!" exclaimed one matron, bristling with
Indignation; "dd ye ever hear the like? I'm
sure I'm nae aul'er than her. | min as wee
lassie she was mucke hempie gaun tae the

A Source of Alcohol
or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter of Mr. Manierre in your
issue of July 26 regarding the use of de-
natured alcohol to supplement the inadequate
gasolene supply opens up an interesting sub
ject
His suggestion that Congress enact laws
to encourage the production of denatured
alcohol should be acted upon. In addition
to wood alcohol it would be well to consider
also the potential alcohol in the grain now
used in the production Of temperance beer
and beverages by brewers
A few years ago a chemist in England dis
covered a way to remove the alcohol from
beer without affecting its flavor, taste or
appearance. This alcohol. first developed by
fermentation in beverages and then removed
to make them non-alcoholic, would add ma
terially to the supply of alcohol without
using any more food material than at pres
ent
The question of motor spirit is soon 10 be
a vital one, and no time should be lost in
developing new sources OF supply to meet
the inevitable larger demand.

ShipbuiIders


The German people reared them
An idol made Of wood,
And Hindenburg before them
Lifelike and stupid stood.
To clothe him all in iron
And thus his soul express,
With nails and spikes they covered
His wooden nakedness. .s-- --
And when they thus had clothed him
All in a suit of mail
Still came they, wild-eyed, looking
For space to drive nail.
Whenever Teuton airmen
Kill boys and girls at play,
Or, U-boats, drowning babies,
Create holiday,
Then, gathering round their statue,
a happy German throng
Drive nails into the idol
To make him still more strong.
Avenge the babes, shipbuilders,
That on the seas have died;
Avenge the little children,
Murdered for Wilhelm's pride!
Come, gather at the shipyards,
And let the hammers ring,
For more than ships and cargoes
Waits on your fashioning.
Come, gather at the shipyards;
The battlefelds of France
Are summoning your brothers,
Oh, aid them to advance!
Come, gather at the shipyards;
With every bolt you drive
Bethink you 'tis the Kaiser
Whose british head you rive.
Come, gather at the shipyards.
And swing with might and main;
'Tis Tirpitz and the Crown Prince
That you to-day have slain.
Come, gather at the shipyards,
And heat the metal hot,
It's Ludendorff and Falkenhayn
You're boiling in the pot
Come, gather at the shipyards,
And when the day is done,
You've spent it we'll in driving spikes
In Hindenburg the Hun!
Come, gather at the shipyards,
And toll with healthy hate,
For only you can save the world.
The Hun is at the gate!
