Germans Refuse
Food to British
Dying in Prison
Rev. Spencer Kennard Tells
of Brutality He Saw
in Teuton Camps

The Rev. Spencer kennard described
in the Madison Avenue Church yester-
day some Of the sights he had seen
ir seven months work among prisoners
of war in Germany. His address, en-
titled "a Challenge From the German
Prison Camps" tended to confirm the
suspicion that the stereotyped mes
sages of reinsurance recently received
from prisoners were to be accepted
with a grain of salt.
Saying that he would tell only of
what had come under his personal OBJ
servation, Mr.. Kennard told of a Brit
ish officer, a former pugilist, who
knocked out with his bare knuckles
one of his German guards who drew
sabre against him and his compan-
ions.
Fights German Guard
"White and his comrades struck
work" said Mr.. Kennard, "because
their food parcels from nome were not
delivered to them. NO food, no work,
they said. A German soldier drew Q
sabre and White with his bare fists
fought that armed German until the
latter was carried to hospital. The
Britisher was sentenced TO death, but
our Intervention got this sentence com
muted to life imprisonment in fort
ress, where he now is.

offered, through the Y. II. c. A., to
purchase food for these poor wretches,
and to do so without one cent leaving
the country. His excellency, who con-
trolled such matters, refusel to see me
but sent out a message that no such
| privilege could be granted"
Foe Tricked by Irish
Mr.. Kennard said that VIXEN he was
in the prison camps the Germans Piled
Irish prisoners with favors and allur-
ing offers to accept service in special
battalion against the British. Both
were accepted with Hibcrnian winks
the speaker continued. and when it ap-
peared that no more Of the former
were to be had, the PRISONERS coolly

ferred to remain prisoners of war.

America Expected Soon to
Take Her Place at the

Entente Accepts

LONDON, July why does not
America form a political alliance with
Britain, France and Italy? She still is
following an independent course, al
though there is noticeable increase of
are fighting with their French and Brit
ish allies, the armies merged into one
great force under single head.
Excellent reasons existed twelve, even
six, months back for America to play a
lone hand, but has not the time arrived
when she should take her place at the
table where the Allied diplomatic pol
icies are made?
There is no material gain for Amer
ica in brigading her troops with the
British and French, although the sac
ritice has brought a lasting reward
The Entente countries are now largely
dependent upon America. Bonar Law
testified to this last night when he
said: II tremble to think what would
have happened but for the entry of
America into the war" Earlier in his
speech the Parliamentary leader said:
us America as our ally. She had much
to lose in material sense and little to
gain"
Alliance Grows Stronger
Militarily, the grand alliance is pro-
crossing rapidly. Just ahead there
still is stormy passage, but with each
day the Allies confidence in their abil-
ity to weather the gale increases.
Once Ludendorff is checked the init
ative will be taken from the Germans
and diplomacy will come into it's own
and the need of political unity will be
paramount for the moment. Reaction
will follow the long period of tension.
"The New Statesman" says:
There is a perceptible change in
what we may call the political weather
in England. We have passed the SOL
stice. The period for storms has ar
rived. For the next four months we
may look for succession of gales. 1t
Is eliminating in a whirlwind of mis-
representation and denunciation of all
but the cause to which the most DOW
erful megaphones will attach them
selves. At the back Of this meteoro-
logical change is the suddenly awak-
ened consciousness of the approach OF
the general election"
Hard Winter Is Ahead
II will be troublesome fall and
winter for Europe. Fuel will be short
and food dear and far from plentiful
and nerves and raw courage will be put
to the highest test.

League Idea Growing
Says A. G. Gardiner in "The Daily
News:
There are very significant signs of
policy embodied in league of ma
tlons, no longer a mere pious ideal
but one of practical necessity as re-
vealed by the war. The pronounce
ment Of Viscount Grey, given with
authority of the weightiest and by one
of the mos cautious of European
statesmen has given weight to the
movement and in France no less than
,r England opinions are being con-
solidated on the Wilson formula"
There are many political problems
awaiting Allied solution. The military
expert of "The Manchester Guardian
says: "Von Kuehlmann's hopes for
peace lie in buying on the West oppor-
tunitles for expansion in the East
This would not be a satisfactory set
tlement of the problems. This would
merely transfer the militaristic un-
rest OF Europe to the Continent of
Asia. And Germany in close alliance
with the Turks would be infinitely
more dangerous to us in Asia than
anything the Russophobes of the nine
teenth century ever imagined"
There is much interest in the little
band of Czecho- -Slovaks who are fighting
the Bolshevik forces around lrkutsk.
Attention is concentrated upon them
to see if they are to prove saviors of
Russia and bring peace and order to
that country or even bring it back to
the belligerent ranks. Russia is only
one of the many problems vitality i'm
portant to Britain, France, Italy and
America.
Whether they can be solved under
the present arrangement or by joint
conference such as was held at Yer
sailles study of military problems is
something deserving of deep thought
The war aims of Germany's enemies
are becoming fundamentally the same
and anything making for their speedie,
attainment would receive a general in
dOrSement.
