Reprisals

Col. Richard L. Woodhouse said in
recruiting address in Lexington:
Nothing will stop the Huns bar
barities but reprisals. If Rheims
Cathedral is destroyed, let us destroy
Cologne Cathedral. And on every
ship that enters the submarine mur-
der zone we ought to put Germans
of high rank
Colonel Woodhouse paused and
smiled.
There's nothing like reprisals,"
he said. "A tobacconist sent a doc
tor the other day a ten-dollar box
of cigars, saying he knew they hadn't
been ordered, but they were so ex-
cellent he was sure the doctor would
enjoy them. Bill inclosed. Terms
strictly cash.
The doctor wrote back:
Delighted with the cigars.
Though it is true you haven't called
me in, 1 venture to send you here
with two prescriptions for rheuma-
tism and dyspepsia, respectively, that
l am sure you will like, as they have
given universal satisfaction to my
patients. My charges being $5 for
prescription, we are now quits" -

That Is Dangerous
[Cleveland Plain Dealer.


Lincoln's first call was for three
month volunteers. 1t was popular
in England at the beginning of the
present war to lay plans for a three
months conflict. Kitchener, as events
prove, was the only big leader who
fcresaw the real dimensions of the
task his country had undertaken.
The United States entered the war
late enough to be afforded some
thing like a real perspective. Kitch-
ener's prophecies were already near
enough fulfilment to permit us no
shallow optimism. Yet there are
plenty of Americans to-day making
the same mistake that was current
in England at the outbreak of the
war.
To underestimate the strength or
valor of ones enemy is poor policy
from any standpoint, Had Kitche-
ner's view of the wars magnitude
been adopted by his fellow -Britons
at the outset. it would have saved
Great Britain much heart ache. But
that country had to learn its lesson,
as painful and costly as 1t proved to
be. And in America we have plenty
of men of like inability to grasp this
big problem of war in it's real big
ness. The only safe attitude for the
United States to assume is that the
war will continue for several years
at least; that the enemy we have en-
gagged has no more thought of lay
ing down arms without a victory
than we have. This Is precisely the
attitude which the majority of Amer
leans do assume.

A Little Bit of Heaven

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
That was little bit of Heaven
we had on Tuesday between a. m.
and p. m. Instead of loafers in all
stages of drunkenness from the man
unsteady in his gait, making it dan
gerous to women and children, to the
rummy who lies on the doorsteps or
pavement unconscious - made so
first by the barkeepers and then af-
ter being put out of the saloon it is
gotten for him by his friends until
he is paralyzed. Instead of every
decent woman being afraid to pass
the crowds of loud-mouth men in
front of the saloons or adjacent cor
ners sure of being insulted; instead
of brazen women openly soliciting
around the saloons, we had a per-
fectly quiet, decent, respectable
neighborhood. The panhandlers who
beg for money and then buy a half
pint and drink it in the alley, were
not seen the whole time. No swear
ing reached your ears, ladies walked
along in perfect safety and as / say
it was little bit of Heaven until the
bells struck Q and then-the loud
mouths appeared, indecent women
and swearing men were on the
ground and hell took the place of
Heaven. 1t wasn't long, but it was
a wonderful experience and made
you wish it was a permanent institu-
ton.

dents will be forthcoming
from the obscure islands of the
South Seas. Every once in a while
a foretaste of the coming feast is
furnished by the narratives of re-
turned travellers. In a paper on
Easter Island" in the Geographical
Journal (London) Mrs. Scoresby
Routledge divulges a naval secret
that the British Admiralty would
have given much to possess some
thirty months ago.
Mrs. Routledge and her husband
were at the head of an expedition
which visited Easter Island to study
certain ancient monuments there.
Easter Island is a lonely dot of land
1000 miles from South America. 1t
belongs to Chile.
The visitors arrived at the end of
March, 1914. A Chilean warship
dropped anchor in the bay later, at
the beginning of August, but as the
vessel had left Chile before the Euro
pean crisis it brought no momentous
tidings. Two months later, in Oc-
tober, German squadron anchored
in the bay. The explorers were
merely annoyed because the natives
left off working for them to see
what they could beg from the ships
The Germans took on large supplies
of fresh meat. 1t was not until five
days later that the news of the war
leaked out through the crews.
Then" says Mrs. Routledge, I'VE
heard also that England was a re-
public, as were Canada and Aus
tralia; that India was in flames, and
know not how many English ships
had been sunk off the mouth of the
Thames. Then Won Spec and his

Will You Loan or Give?

At the end of war which cost
Germany only half billion dollars,
Bismarck extracted just double that
amount from France in an indem-
nifty.
Germany kept an army in France
until the last dollar was paid.
Guess how big an indemnity the
Kaiser will collect from you and me,
England and France ii he wins this
war?
1t has alreday cost him more than
twenty times what his grandfather
paid out in the Franco-Prussian war.
On that basis we are already sure
of twenty billions of indemnity.
Americas share would be at least
a third, or, cutting off all trifies like
millions, would mean to-day six bill
lion dollars.
There you have knockout argu-
ment for buying a Liberty Bond.
If you don't buy bond and win
the war you are sure to be forced to
buy two or three later on to give the
Kaiser.
Remember this especially: You are
onN asked to loan your money to
Uncle Sam. but what you hand to
the Kaiser is not a loan. 1t will be
an outright gift.-"Girard," in the
Public Ledger.

once more wrapped us round"
Fortunately the expeditions yacht
was away on trip to Chile for sup
plies. Her name was the Mana,
South Sea Island word for superna-
tural power. She was again absent
and Mrs. Routledge and the yachts
expedition on the island when the
Germans paid another visit. Mrs.
Routledge does not give the precise
date, but it was in or after Decem-
ber 1914. She says:
This time it was the cruiser Prinz
Eitel Frederick, which for about a
week used the island for a base to
secure fresh meat and to coal from
a captured French collier, which she
subsequently sank off the island. On
departing she left with us her priS-
oners of war, nearly so English and
French sailors. When at length in
the following March. the Mana re-
turned she was at once dispatched
with messages to the British repre-
sentatives at Santiago (Chile). in
forming him of the use to which the
enemy were putting the neutral ter
ritory of Chile, and of a suspicious
vessel seen in the neighborhood of
the island.
From Easter Island, Won Spec

Craddock's ships in battle off the
coast of Chile near Coronel on No
vember 1, 1914, and thence to be de-
stroyed by the squadron of Sir Fred
erick Sturdee in battle off the Falk-
land Islands on December 8, 1914.
The auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel
Frederick slipped into Newport
News, Va, on March 10, 1915, after
destructive cruise of more than
10000 miles. She is now the Baron

the latter is by design.

AMERICAN JEWS AND THE WAR

CINCE the decision of the United
y States to enter the war there
has come an appreciation of the
important part which Is being taken
by the American Jews in the terrific
conflict. They have not only given
largely of material support, but are
responding to the call to the colors
in large numbers. 1t is stated that
more than sS,O0O,OOO has been con-
tributed by the Jews of this country
for the relief of their kinsmen in
Europe and in Palestine. This sum
is being contributed by the three
million persons of Jewish origin in
the United States.
A narrative of unselflsh work
which has been done by the Jewish
people would open the eyes Of many
who fail to appreciate the unstinted
support which is being furnished the
government by this section of our
population. AS one writer has sug-
gested, 1.-The story itself breathes ro-
nance, pulsates with heart throbs
and is replete with inspiration"
But it is not only for their stricken
race in the war zone that the Jews
of the United States have labored so
earnestly; they have come to the aid
of every branch of activity in the
development of preparations for the
war. with the United States now
involved in the war" says the writer
above referred to, the loyalty of
Jews to this government, their affec-
tion for this flag and the unanimity
displayed by them in support of
American ideals, no matter what the
land of their birth. provides an ad-
ditional example to other Ameri-
cans
Most persons are familiar with what
Is being done in the way OF prepa-
ration by men like Jacob F. Schiff,
whose philanthropies have extended
in every direction and whose interest
in the welfare of his own people is
an example for men of every race
and creed. AS much may be said
OIL OSCdT EolE aus anu It SllA W. w dI-
burg and scores of other distin-
guished Hebrews, who are standing
shoulder to shoulder with other pa
triotic American citizens in the
great work that now involves a ma
ton dedicated to liberty and religious
freedom.
When this war shall have ended
rs end it must some day, there will
be less of caste and creed and racia,
dissension. Differences that have
seemed insurmountable up to this
time will vanish. and out of the
sorrow and loss and stress will come
a people strengthened. unified. con.
secrated to higher ideals. and with 6
better conception of the opportunitie.
and blessings vouchsafed through oul

High Prices Due to Extortion
[From the Philadelphia InquirerI

1t is easy to believe the statement
made by Mr.. Joseph Hartigan, the
New York City Commissioner of
Weights and Measures. that never in
the city's history have the individ-
uals and corporations dealing in
foodstuffs made so much money as
they have within the past few
months. He says that there is moth
ing in the situation to justify the
enormous advance in prices all along
the line which has been made. There
is an abundance of food in the store
houses and the dealers have simply
taken advantage of the opportunity
which existing conditions present to
gouge the public.

Dogs and Sheep Raising
[From the Phlladelphia RECORD

[From the Philadelphia Record.l
Oregon sheep to the number of
5000 have been bought by the New
York City Food Supply Commission
and are to be sold at cost to restock
farms within the State. The sigma
ture by the Governor of the Wicks
dog bill is believed to have given
New York sheep raisers a chance.
There is a similar, though less dras-
tic, bill somewhere in the Legisla-
ture at Harrisburg; and, possibly,
Pennsylvania farmers also would

dog is an intolerable nuisance.

PROPER INVESTMENT

TINE investment of surplus coun-
ty or municipal moneys in Lib

er and commendable. The Legisla-

resolution offered yesterday by Sem
ator Beidleman authorizing cities
and counties to buy these bonds with
sinking funds not Immediately re-
quired for the purposes for which
they were created. Let public money
work for the public good, and do
double duty whenever possible.

money.

Voluntary Censorship

[From the Philadelphia Inquirer.l
OF course, no information that
would in any way benefit the enemy
should be printed. And of course
none will be. That is all that is nee
essary. What is willingly conceded
needs no drastic law to be made
operative. The government may go
on with its military plans and they
will be safeguarded. The newspapers
will see to that. But pass law that
is a virtual gag of the press and
there would be resentment. not so
much by the newspapers as by the
public,
