REIGIAN ATROCITIES"

The atrocities" which Germany
charged the Belgian colonial army com
mitted in East Africa, and on which
Germany attempted to justify the selz-
ure and deportation of twenty promi'
nent Relgian citizens, have been inves'
tigated. In it's statement of actual con-
ditions the Belgian legation quotes
German official as follows:
Il was at Tabora," says Otto Weber
"at the beginning of the war, and re-
mained there. Personally / have no
comnlaint TO make of the Belgian troops
on their entry into Tabora. However
as chief of the district l have to say
that some complaints were made TO me
on the subject of the Belgian troops at
Tabora, and l have taken personal cog
nizance of the damage done in the house
of Mrs. Horn. l was also told that a
butcher shop had been plundered by
Italians on the day the Belgians enter
cd Tabora. but I have not been able TO
verify this abatement. At another house
the awning outside had been torn by
bavonets. | am not able to say posi-
lively that the deeds to which my at
tention has been called were committed
by Belgian soldiers, but that is my opln-
ion. All these things were brought TO
the attention of General Tombeur the
Belgian commanding officer). At the
end OF two days everything was calm
again.
Horrible. horrible Assuredly the Bel
gians have much to learn before they
attempt to rival the "kultur' of the
kaiser's troops.

BOY AND SOME PAINT.

A group of labor leaders visited
New York City school where the Gary
system has been introduced, to see
uhe,ber the system deserved approval.
They went away and adopted resoiu

ton was based largely. IT appears on
their meeting with twelVe-year-oiu
pupil named Lewis Zimmerman. Lewis
had lust made an interesting discoN'
cry.
The Gary pupils, as the reader prop
ably knows, combine with their stuu!
and play manual work of various KINDS
Lewis had been making some electric
annaratus. Since copper became SO
exnensive. the boys have had TO use
Galvanized iron instead for many pur'
poses. The iron worked, but II never
looked right. because when they paint

smooth layer of paint which, when
subjected to all the usual tests uiu
not crack or peel.
1t was very simple, he explained he
had found that IL he first heated the
iron. then painted it and rubbed on the
loose paint, and applied another coat

business. We have been looking for

Now, it may be illogical to base ones
Judgment of any system of education on
a single incident like that. But the
story is highly suggestive. Maybe

HOGS TO WIN THE WAR.

Now, we're told it is hogs that are
TO win the war The department OF
agriculture presents the matter about
like this.
To make sure of victory, we must
produce more food.
The most essential kind OF food is
meat.
The most important form of meat Is
pork, because lit can be transported
more readily and economically TO our
troops in the field than can any other
meat" and because hogs can be pro-
duced quicker than any other kind Of
livestock"
The department therefore strongly
urges the necessity and duty of starting
mt once to increase the hog supply.
The estimated number of hogs in this
country is about 1000 900 less than il
was a year ago. II ought to be more,
I'm order to guarantee the proper feed
ing of our soldiers. our allies and our
selves.
II is simply a question of wholesale
breeding instead OF wholesale slaughter
ing. Breeding animals must repro
duce themselves. and farmers are urged
to see that every eligible hog does her
duty.
There is no hardship thus imposed on
the farmer. He is merely encouraged

fremely profitable industry. The price

subscribe its quota in the second Lib
erty loan, nobody can blame the editor
Of the Damariscotta Herald, at any
rate. He did his bit by publishing the
following announcement in his paper:
you fellers who are four, six. eight
or ten years in arrears, who have dis
regarded our plaintive prayers for set

1t sounds irresistible. As an example
of patriotism and generosity it ranks
high. And it isn't at all bad as a
simple stroke of good business.

DANGEROUS RUSSIAN AGITATORs

New York Sun: On reading the fif-
teen articles framed as a basis for
peace by the Russian central executive
committee of the Council of Workmen's
and Soldiers Delegates, it is almost i'm
possible not to believe that German in
fluences have largely prompted them.
There is not one article from begin
ming to end which is unfavorable to
Germany Almost every proposal is
Injurious to one or another of the al
lies. Some OF the suggestions, as the
autonomy OF Bosnia and Herzegovina
are injurious to Austria. but even
these might fit in with postponement
of the Berlin dream of Middle Europe
Empire stretching from the Baltic to
the Persian gulf
Perhaps the grossest aggression on
the rights of the allied powers is the
proposal for the naturalization of the
Suez and Panama canals. This, surely
is a German idea; TO cut deep into the
military power of the British power
and the United States. most hated of
all the enemies, by depriving them of
control of their main strategic high
ways would be a dream of joy to the
heart OF Kaiserthum and junkerdom
well worth the cost of the war.
II is quite likely that the men who
have framed this preposterous peace
programme have no conception of the
monstrosity of the proceeding. They
are amateurs of the crudest kind in
international politics or indeed in any
sort of large affairs. Their outbreak
into attempted world dictation is suf-
ficient proof of the unfitness for the
controlling part which they are trying
to play in their own country and in the
war. Naturally they are an easy prey
to German spies and German schemers,
who. playing on their vague and un-
disciplined altruistic sentiments. have
led them TO schemes which. il accepted
by the allies, would cause cruel injus-
tice in the present and inevitable re-
newal of the war in the near future.

to this programme" of perversity by

NOT A QUESTION OF ACCURACY

Chicago Post: The real issue in.
volved in the La Toilette case is not one
of the accuracy of the Wisconsin sena.
tors statements but of their loyalty.
Senator La Toilette might be able to
prove beyond dispute that he told only
the truth but this would not justify
him. There are some truths and many
facts that no man who loves his coun.
try and has a. sane sense of respons
bility will blurt out in war time for
the information of everybody-friend
or foe.
On the issue Of loyalty Senator La
Toilette has no standing. On the is
sue of fact it is barely possible he
might make out technical defense OF
put so heavy a burden of refutation
upon others that the way of escape
would be open through some narrow
avenue OF doubt.
The Wisconsin mans words cannot
be treated apart from the spirit OF
their utterance, nor yet without con
sidering the propaganda use to which
they have been put. The frank of the
senator was freely employed to carry
his anti-American speeches broadcast
and it is well known that in Germany
they have been received as welcome
indications that the sentiment of the
American people is not whole-hearted
ly behind the government.
The committee of inquiry will permit
the investigation to become farcial il
it restricts it TO a hair-splitting con
troversy over the literal accuracy OF
La Follette's statements. Nobody ques
tions the Wisconsin senator's ability
He is a shrewd dialectician. He would
like nothing better than an agreement
over facts and phrases. But the only
thing that really matters is the aim
and effect of what he said.
Was La Toilette helping or hindering
his country?
Upon the answer to this question he
should be judged by the colleagues and
his right to remain in the senate de-
termined

IF WE ONLY UNDERSTOOD

If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim eternal roughness
Semi wonder-just the same?
Should we help where now we hinder
Should we pity where we blame?
All! we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force;
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden strains of good;
And we'd love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find a better,
Purer than we judge we should,
We should love each other better
If we only understood.
