A NEW OUTRAGE PLANNED.

Germany's protest of the bullets used by
American soldiers is accepted by the allies as adj
vance notice of new Hun outrage against
humanity and the rules fnodern warfare.
1t i shown that each barbarous innovation Of
the Germans has been preceded by the claim that
the allies had violated the articles of The Hague
convention.
Washington gives assurance that the ammu-
milton supplied to American soldiers complies
both in spirit and letter with The Hague regu-
lations, and is quite as humane IS that used by
any other army.
Were the German protest really dictated by
humanitarian motives, Americas disclaimer
would end the matter. But the allies have learned
from experience. They know that German &C.
cusation of this kind is usually put forward as
the excuse for prepared and concerted violation
of the customs of war.

DAMAGE NOT CLAIMED.

/ have seen prohibition achieved
within twenty-four hours in COM
munity of 100000 without authorize
ton from city. state or federal authori-
ties, and maintained absolutely for
nearly a month. The late General
Funston made San Francisco, probably
as bibulous city as there is in the
country, bone-dry Immediately after
the earthquake of 1905. and kept 1t
in that unnatural state for three weeks.
/ do not think that General Funston's
authority to put San Francisco arbi-
trarily upon the water wagon was ever
questioned at the time or afterward,
although he had no such authority in
law. Perhaps one or two saloon own
ers did protest, but a protest delivered

CROWN PRINCE "BUYs" CHATEAUx.

While the Germans are wantonly laying waste
to large portions of northern France, it is re-
ported that they carefully protecting some
of the most beautiful estates, in the hope of
holding them after the war. When chateau
strikes the particular fancy of an invading war;
lord, if it happens to be out of the active zone
he sees that it is protected from looting and pro-
ceeds to acquire it in legal form.
Under forced conditions and at nominal prices,
the Germans are selling many beautiful French
chateaux and homes in Alsace. Prince William
of Hohenzollern has just bought the chateau of
Baron de Bussere, near Mulhausen
The German crown prince has already bought
two places at ridiculously low prices, and is said
to be negotiating for another.
They hope of course that the purchases will
hold good after the war, but with an outraged
France to reckon with it is certain that the little
real estate fiers of the crown prince and his as
sociates will be upset when the allies force the
invaders back across the Rhine.

With the demand for fuel oil greatly increased
and normal sources of supply Sut off, England IS
confronted with serious problem.
The question of the production OF fuel oil from
home sources has been investigated by COM
mittee appointed by the minister of munitions.
The report just issued states that the best method
is the carbonization of camel coal in existing YER
tical retorts at gas works, although no very
largely increased quantity of oil can be obtained
from this source during the war, owing to diff
culties of labor, coal transport, etc.
The petroleum research department had re-
commended the erection of batteries of form
of low temperature retort for the earbonization
Of camel COAL but experimental investigation
Of low temperature processes by the ministry
has proved that the suggestion was impractic-
able on the grounds of expense, insufficient labor,
time involved, and the fact that the mineral is
not available in the quantities which the first in
vestigations indicated.
The committee indicates other sources of sup
ply as available in the future These sources in
clude boring for oil in Great Britain, the further
development of the Scottish shale oil industry,
and the increased carbonization of raw COAL In
this latter connection the report states that
one and quarter million tons of fuel oil might
be obtained from every twenty million tons of
coal carbonized.

WOULD DEFEND Ex-CZAR.

An English officer, who spent years at the
Russian court as representative of his govern
ment believes that the allies have misconcep-
ton Of the true character of the late Nicholas
II. He says:
1T is surely one of the grimmest of satires
while all are rendering lip-homage to the idea OF
universal peace, that the monarch who first en-
deavored some 10 years ago, to put this theory
into practical form at The Hague, is allowed to
depart this life almost unnoticed, save by ignors
ant abuse. Apparently there is nothing but OBJ
loquy for the trusty ally who, unready as he was,
invaded East Prussia to save Paris in 1914, who
launched an offensive in 1916 to save Italy, who
pushed ahead in Asia to help US after Kut. Mean
while, Kerensky, the demagogue, who disorgan-
lied her army and paved the way for Russia 5
desertion of her allies by fleeing from his self
appointed post, is greeted as an honored guest in
England
Among other misrepresentation the late
emperor is generally described as a weakling,
physically and mentally. Though not tall like
his forbears and kinsfolk, he was deep-chested
and strongly built, a good oar, strong
swimmer, and could walk any of his staff off their
legs Holding himself very erect, he looked you
straight in the face with kind eyes that could
sparkle with humor He expected to be addressed
with the utmost frankness, however unpleasant
the nature of the communication; any appeal or
suggestion for improvement found him ready
listener, and he was very quick at grasping a
point. Courteous and considerable to others, he
was a great gentleman, who honestly endeav-
ored to do his duty to his God and to his people,
and feel sure history will do hers by him.

THE CZECHO-SLOVAKS.

The hopes of the Czecho-Slovaks are gradually
being realized.
Great Britain has formally recognized the
ICzecho-Slovaks as an allied nation and their
three armies as part of the great allied fighting
force.
France and Italy have already officially recog-
nized the aspirations of these people, and the
United States has unofficially, through its sec
rotary of state, expressed the sympathy of this
country for their cause
The recognition of these people by the allied
powers is but the carrying out of the principles
for which we are fighting-the freeing of the
smaller nations from any despotic control
The allies have much to be grateful for in the
struggle of the Czecho-Sovaks for political free
dom. They have kept alive the flame of revolt
in the Austrian empire. They have deserted to
the of the allies whenever and wherever
possible, fighting under their banners when cap
ture meant death as deserters. They kept on
fighting the advancing armies of the Germans
into Russia, even though the Russians had fled.
And now they are also fighting shoulder to
shoulder with the French, British and Ameri-
cans on the western front, driving the Hun back
Ito his lair.
Political freedom a separate nation will
mean the end of the sufferings and privations of
these people.
