A Point of Honor

A curious case came up before the Brit
ish Naval Prize Court the other day, when
Lieutenant Spindler, commander of the
Libau, the steamer that carried Roger
Easement on his Inflated expedition to
Ireland, claimed a sum of money amount.
ing to about $1,000 found among his eff
fects. The question was whether the
money was his own or the property Of the
German state, and therefore good prize.
1t appears that at Chatham all the
money found on his person-less than
S25-waS taken from him and he was
asked if he had any more. He said "No."
The rest was discovered later sewn in the
lining of his coat. This is a point 10 be
noted, for the sequel shows how scrupu-
lous the German officer is obliged to be in
point Of yeracity. Now, what Lieutenant
Spindler meant to say was that he had no
more money in his pockets, which was
perfectly true. His answer was. he in
sisted, perfectly straightforward.

suggested. What part of your clothing
was the money in?" an all parts" he re-
Piled, Then your coat was all pockets?"
Il never" he replied, saw a coat that

that his answer was allowable because it
was not given on his honor. If he had
been asked TO answer on his honor it
would be different. The examination pro-
ceeded thus:
What difference would it have made if
you had said upon your honor? great

Bulgaria for Liberty
A Protest Against Her With Her More
Powerful Ally.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: After reading your article "As TO
Bulgaria" in to-day's Tribune, beg of you
most humbly TO allow me space in your val
liable columns in expressing ones opinion
who comes from the much disputed country,
Bulgaria, and trust my request will be
granted.
II is unjust to attack Bulgaras attitude
in the present conflict, for she went but TOR
one purpose. and that was to free her re-
gents from conquered and oppressed govern
rents. This being the sole object and having
accomplished this, Bulgaria has achieved her
aims and is willing TO talk peace.
It is very difficult, if not impossible, for
one to discuss and give ones opinion as to
the situation in Bulgaria, or rather in the
entire Balkans, for in doing so one has TO
spend few years there and study the peo-
pie, ways and language they use, and only
then will, especially America, come to the
same agreement as that of Bulgaria, ratify-
ing President Wilson's war aims, i. e., the
right and liberty for small nations to exist.
How can one be justified in accusing Bull
garia OF treachery and of being Germany's
war vassal by stating that Bulgaria demands
large annexations of Serbian and Greek ter
ritory? Bulgaria claims what is her own
can one state that Dobrudja, Macedonia and
part Of Southern Serbia, which are inhab-
tied, if not all, mostly by Bulgars, and their
language only being spoken? Does the
writer OF the article appearing in to-day's
Tribune know the much disputed Dobrudja
and Macedonia so well in placing such con-
demnation and accusing Bulgaria of Prus-
sian aims and Mitteleuropa ambitions? She
claims that which has been robbed from her
in the most unjust manner, both by the Lon
don Treaty in 1918 and later the infamous
Bucharest treaty.
As 10 America declaring war on Bulgaria,
based on the present difficulties with the
entry of the United States in the present
conflict, will add that it will be a gross
mistake. as Bulgaria has no submarines to
harm the United States, and there are no
prospects at present OF American armies
meeting the Bulgarians unless the United
States would want TO chase US out from our
own home, that is, the territory Bulgaria
occupies to-day. There can be no dispute
about this, and it will not be long when
American opinion will reclaim to Bulgaria
that which has been robbed unjustly by Ser
bia as well as Greece.

Get Up Earlier for, Knitting
e Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In answer 10 the "Knit Anywhere
letter from Florence Norcross, may sug-
gest that there are thousands Of women also
working eight hours day, making their own
clothes, etc, who go to concerts as much
for the complete rest and peace that music
gives us as for the music itself? They have
rights as well as the militant knitters, one
of whom can disturb and annoy good sized
circle of neghbors. For the non-working
women knitters would suggest getting up
an hour earlier on concert days and doing
their concert knitting az home. The concert
halls will soon have TO take means to pro-
tect the concertgoers. Knitters are not the
only patriots, and other workers have their
rights. A RED CROSS WORKER.

Warmth and Comfort at Spartanbure

Sir: Convinced in my own mind that the

to minimize enlistment, | wrote my son, a

This is about the healthiest camp OF them

pleasant in the day, but cold at night and

mattresses, also stoves in all tents, and
plenty of warm clothing. Don't you think
for minute that this government is going
to lose any men if she can help it. They are
harder than warm clothes to get. II any one
tells you that the army does not look after

liars. We are getting all we can expect

entiically with the great problems now be-
fore that body. His withdrawal from pub

fortunate. in view of the Presidents recon-
mendation that all appropriation bills should
be prepared by a single committee. This
suggestion is step toward a necessary bud

1t may be too late now TO secure coordi-
mated action between the executive and the

great deal. OF tedious sitting of the enormous
