German Prisoners of War at Fort Douglas

Of war, brought to Fort Douglas from
some of Uncle Sans islard possessions for
nternment during the period of the war.
THE Salt Lake City Herald Republican
thus describes the arrival Of the prisoners
after their wearsome journey across the
water and over the mountains:
The 32l German war prisoners who ar
rived at Fort Douglas did not spend any
time yesterday in resting up from their long
end fatiguing journey from Guam and Homo

Back to the War
With Spain

The Spokane Spokesman-Review" re-
traces nineteen years of history to point
out that the war bond issue of 1898 for

cent and the countrys wealth much less
than now, was oversubscribed tremendous

New-York tribune., 1917-07-01

"The Chicago Tribune" printed in the
home town of most of the meat packers,
says that the politicians and the press are
seeing things behind every bush, land for
one word spoken calmly to present under
lying conditions intelligently there are a
dozen excited alarms over plots to sky
rocket prices But "The Tribune" does
not deny that there is, and possibly always
will be, wartime manipulation of prices,
and 1t agrees that in so far as possible it
ought to be checked Yet it points out that
high prices are largely the result of condi-
tions which no group of men can change or
bring about. "The Tribune" states that:
he world cannot expend all its energies
for nearly three years in destroying wealth,
the nation cannot turn millions Of producers
from production. it cannot shut off markets
and paralyze normal resources without bring
ing about high prices. Draw men back
from destruction and abnormal consumption,
put them at productive labor again and we
shall finally get relief But Congress cannot
repeal the law of supply and demand. which
antedates any legislative body, and will sur
vve the last.
"The San Francisco Chronicle" finds a
psychological element involved in high
prices, holding that the governments prop
aganda for drastic powers of regulation
has itself encouraged prices to 90 sky
rocketing. But THE Portland Oregonian"
calls to the nation to "pet behind Hoover
Americans must learn efficiency in
handling food, and Hoover can teach
them And "The Philadelphia Public
Ledger" says that Congress in hesitating
at all over food regulation has been pal

of conducting our diplomatic relations with
foreign nations. We will. therefore, haul
down the flag of Stephen Decatur and hoist
in its place the banner Of Carl Schurz, with
the following legend inscribed upon it:
"My country right or wrong;
If right to be kept right;
II wrong to be set right"
One of the matters frequently discussed
of late by the German-language press is
the question whether all meetings of the
"Vereine" and the festivities should be
dropped till after the war. The "Califor-
ria Demokrat" is opposed to this policy
of cowardice," saying, in part:
Nearly every day we are informed that an
other German American society has given up
its usual activities; that festivals, many OF
which serve charitable purposes, have been
postponed that meetings and conventions
will not be held while the war lasts. The
news is that the German American National
Alliance will not hold its regular biennial
meeting. which was scheduled for this year
10 be held in Milwaukee. While under
stand the motives which prompt the directors
of the various societies to such actions. we
cannot but regret them. The action will be
taken by all enemies OF the German-Ameri-
cans as a proof that their contention that

so. as THE st. Paul Pioneer Press shows,
there are some other things about the
present war which do show national de-
velopment. such as the preparation of to.
day for concentration as against the camp
disease and bad food that followed the
haste of 1898. And The Pioneer Press"
goes on to say:
II is different United States that draws
the sword in 1917. but by the same token it
is different foe against whom that sword
is drawn.

Bryan

Mr.. Bryan has been long enough in the
public eye TO be the subject of Bryan
legend. 1t is the Bryan legend which
gives food for comment TO The Indian
apolis Star:
New Yorker has discovered zero IN some.
thing about which TO worry. He is all ex.
cited because William j. Bryan is keeping
quiet and behaving so admirably in these
strenuous war times. To him it is uncanny
to see the great apostle of peace and pine
going about the country saying almost noth-
ing about war when the world is on fire. Tho
only explanation that occurs to the ANXIOUS
observer is that Bryans attitude is the calm
before the storm.
The Gothamte fears, and quite likely with
justification, that Bryan is bidng his time in
the hope of coming in strong at the finish.
when the great war nears an end he warns
in "The New York Sun" "and there is talk OF
peace negotiations. il will be strange II Oleag-
inous Bill does not move heaven and earth to
be appointed one OF the representatives Of
this country at the conference TO consider
terms Of peace. A back fire should be started
to the appointment of such as he TO that
grave council"
It is quite likely that the Nebraskan, deep
down in his heart, feels that he is just the
man to help fix the terms of peace. But the
chance of being able to convince any one in
authority is much smaller than it was four
years ago.
