co and Aigiers, Charge.
Berlin, Jan. 4.-The condition OF
German civil and war prisoners in
Morocco and Algiers is alleged by the
German government to be one of ter.
rible suffering, says the Overseas
News Agency.
Quoting from a report just issued
the agency says: prisoners are
forced to carry on the heaviest work
In building roads and railroads, un.
loading cars and ships and in quarries
and swamps. The rest periods pre-
scribed by regulations many times ara
shortened by the arbitrary acts of sub
altern officers. The prisoners have
been undressed, compelled to kneel
and be whipped by negroes"

The fact that Mile Laos county has

The fact that Mile Laos county has
voted to issue bonds for $4,000 for
road purposes has rather enlivened in
terest in many parts of the state
among those who have favored this
procedure for the more rapid develop
ment of good roads and likewise the
territory through which they would
run. AS the benefits Of good thorough
fares become more and more apparent
we believe that the idea Of quickening
their building through the issuing Of
bonds, especially where present pro-
cedure seems too slow, will appeal to
citizens generally as good invest
ment.

We doubt if the opponents OF the

SEEK OWN MAIL SYSTEM
Foreigners Reluctant To Give Up
Monopoly In China.

PEKING, March II Cby maiD-The
Chinese government has proposed TO
take over the control OF postal serv-
ices IN China, which are now in the
hands OF foreigners. It Is doubtful,
however, II the powers will accept
China's proposal on this point The
government takes the position that
the Chinese are just as capable of
handling the service as are for
eigners.
The postal service in China has
made remarkable progress recently,
but the foreigners in charge declare
this is due to their ability. Beside
proposing an independent manage
ment of the general mail service, the
Chinese authorities are planning, 1t
IL reported, to propose the with
drawal Of the foreign postoffices IN
the country.
The Japanese press, commenting on
recent activities of American finan.
ciers In China, declare the quadruple
loan group should take steps TO meet
the new situation. Japan, England,
France and Russia are members of
this group, and while this country
has more money than ever before and
is anxious to place II in China, a
handicap Is met in the inability of
the warning nations to cooperate at
this time in aiding China
Add to this the great confidence
China places in America, and an idea
may be gained OF the fear that Amer
ican capital so plentiful at present,
may find an outlet in China to the
detriment OF other powers.

CORSETED SLEUTHS?
THERE MAYBE SUCH
Two Refuse to Discuss Rumor
as to Straight-Laced Ap-
pearance.

Not one single solitary word!
It's a scandal!
What do you know about It? Any
thing? No? Very few people do.
Give a listen! Sh-h-h-h-hI Don't
breathe It to a soul
Certain members of the Washington
detective force are wearing corsets.
Horrors! The shocking secret is out!
Would you believe It? Can you be-
lieve It? Can 1t be defended on the
ground of good form? Can 1t be said
the sleuths are getting straight-laced?
Can IL be said they are trying to stay
the hands OF criminals7 Can it be said
they are trying to get into good shape
for activities incident to the war? Can
1t be said they are trying to hold
themselves in check?
These are the questions the few
persons in on the secert are asking.
Echo only answers Can they?"
All the members of the detective
force admitted today that they had
been in many tight squeezes," but
general denials OF the existence. of
such a condition today were entered
by all but two OF them.
Detective Sergeant Larry O'Dea, of
the central office, and Detective Ser
geant Frank Helan, assigned to Dis
trict Attorney Laskey's office, posi-
lively refused to discuss the matter
further than to say that they never
felt better in their lives. There was
a military uprightness and softening
of their contours which. combined
with a sheepish look on their counten-
ances, were more eloquent than words
could have been.
