fBy Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Persons
having claims against the government
growing out of seizure of property for
war or other purposes can obtain
prompt action if their applications are
filed in the court of claims in Wash
ington, it was said today by Assistant

in charge Of defense of these suits.
The docket now has been cleared of
all cases in which a plaintiff must
await action by the government, he de-
clared.
Cases growing out of the civil war
have been finished within the last
few years and only two years ago. the
docket was cleared of the French
apoliation claims developing centu-
ry ago from Napoleon's seizures Of

HARRY LONG IS
CASSED AGAIN

Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver Long received a
letter Thursday from their son Harry
Long stating that he had been gassed
again and was back at base hospital
but was recovering nicely and feeling
a great deal better. This letter was
written on August so. A telegram
dated August 9. was also received
yesterday by the Long family. The
telegram stated that Harry Long had
been wounded in action. but it is sup
posed that this is mistake as he
made no mention of wounds In the
letter written nearly three weeks later.

THE sEAMEN WILL sTRAFE THEM

The seamen, who have unions and freemasonry all their
own. will play an important part in determining the carrying
of German goods after the war. 1t is understood that those
who belong to the allied countries will refuse to go on any
shin that has on board of it German-made goods. They have
come to such conclusions because the German seamen have
outraged all human rights at sea. They will have nothing
more 10 do with Germans on the high seas. Thousands of
seamen. they say, have lost their lives because Germans on
ships have violated the laws that have always been observed
at sea. They have been guilty of unfair play, and that is
something that no seaman ever forgives. They are willing to
run the risk of death, provided the game is played according
to the human code, but not when it is played by cobras.
This feeling is deep rooted. They say it will last as long
as a man who knows what the Germans have done at sea dur
ing this war is alive. and they will see to it that children still
unborn will know of these outrages and feel them in. their
own blood as deeply as the men of the present. In snort, the
hand of every allied seaman will be raised against Germany
during the years to come. So deep is this resentment that II
Germans were imperiled at sea and sent out an appeal, they
would not answer it, but let them perish more mlserably than
those whom thew have sent to the bottom in the name OF p-
ratcal and guerilla war.

II DIFFERENCE

Here we have one of the most eloquent comments Oh le
war, marvelously eloquent, as we see it:
Where the British armies have marched the country Is
made better and the people in it are lifted up. This is true
not only along the rivers of Mesopotamia, but it is true in the
Holy Land. They have not shelled and devastated Jerusalem
not as the Germans did even in Belgium, in the heart OF
civilization and culture. But the path of the Germans is ike
the path of Atilla, who was called, and called himself, "Ihe
scourge of God" And yet the Germans are so stupid that they
cannot comprehend why the rest of the world does not have a
higher regard for what they have been taught to believe is
"kultur.",
The difference is that between the destroyer and the
.despoiler, the conservator and the restorer. The British have
not sought to trample out the lives of the people whose coun-
try they'have conquered. They have not raped and looted and
taxed and done it on this pretext or that. And the British
had the harder people to deal with, orientals who are apt to be
suspicious and t~reacherOus even.
No matter how or when this war may end. the world has
learned and will not soon forget the difference between culture
and "kultur."

WHAT ENGLAND Is DOING

We still hear occasionally some reference to England
shifting the burden of the war to the shoulders OF her allies.
This. of course. was quite common when the apologlsts 1or
the Hun were ready to excuse the rape of Belgium and all the
other atrocities of the Beast OF Berlin" II they could Nci'e hdt-
red of England. But even the rankest dlslOyallst is now
ashamed to make this charge in the presence OF Intelligent
men.
Since the beginning of the war Great britain d pun

of every thousand came from England and Wales, 50 from
Scotland. % from Ireland, 100 from Canada, Australia, etc. ana

FIGHTING FOR OURSELVES

We need not talk any more about fighting for Belgium,
or for France, or for democracy or even humanity-the plain
truth is we are fighting for our own skins. All the rest of
it is now pretense-if it ever was anything better. From the
day Germany started this war, from that day we have been
ourselves, and that as deeply as any of the others.
designs of Germany extended to us also and we were to
have been subiugated with the rest. Now we know it. now
now in earnest.
When Americans visit Europe hereafter for a few hundred
or thousand years to come they will always go and look at
the country of the Marine and follow it northward to the
.Aisne and the Chemin DIES Danes.

The announcement that the Russians will make war on
1.-THE allies because of the landings on the Thurman coast, along
the Arctic ocean, may be translated better that the Germans
will make war on the allies-and they are already engaged in
that. The announcement only goes to prove that the Bolshe-
wiki are merely acting as the agents of the Berlin govern
ment. And as such the sooner the allied governments disre-
gard their wishes the better.

The Germans are crying out because some OF te Amerl-
cans sometimes use shotguns instead of rifles. "A shotgun
shoots several balls. smaller ones, at once and it scatters them,
Rut even at that it does not match a machine gun, of which
the Germans have plenty-so many that the franco-Ameflcahs
have recently taken a few hundred of them. But the German
cry is like the cry of the devil in hell asking for far play
from tbe moor fellows he has been roasting and brOillng.

WAR ROASTING AND MODESTY

In one of his recent speeches Secretary of War Baker res
ferred to the American army as the finest army ever brought
together on the globe. Well, that is one way to think of our
boys" They are fine fellows. They are giving up so much
and they are doing it so willingly, even eagerly, now that the
spirit of patriotism and sacrifice for which patriotism is only
another name, has entered their very souls. There is nothing
that we can soy of them and nothing that we can do for them
that comes up entirely with what we would like to convey to
them.
But still and always, let us be modest. Officially we do
not want to place ourselves so far ahead of our allies, not as
far as Secretary Baker did. We are over there, but we still
have to pay the price. In the month of June alone the Brit
ish casualties were over IA ,00O-ours were less than 10000 for
Is months az ten is to IA, and as one month is to a year and
three months-but we need not carry the comparison further
to convince us that we should do no Boosting and that we
should in nowise place ourselves above our allies. England's
losses in one month were equal to three fifhs of the greatest
number we have placed on the battle front after sixteen months
of preparation.
But the main point in this matter is that we should do no
vain boasting. When we hear someone saving that England
was all in and France was all in and that we went over there
to finish the war, it always CRATES on us. Our attitude should
rather be expressed in this way: England, France and Italy,
and the lesser nations having carried on this war for four
years, we are now getting ready to do a small part of the
work of completing the victory. We are belated corners ON
the field of honor and in a war in which our own national
welfare is as much on trial and at stake as that of either
France or England or Italy.
To say that without us the allies could not win is another
cheap way of expressing our own Importance. Possibly it is
true that without us they could not win. But what could we
do without them? Where would we begin and where would
we end if the other nations had not spent four years in fight
ing? What would we do today were it not for the single
item of the British navy? Yes, where would we be and what
would we be doing, except defending all our coast lines, and
how successfully would we be defending them, at least to be-
gin with?
No, it is very unbecoming for our orators and our news
papers to talk about us finishing the war and doing it in q
boastful manner. We are going to help to finish it and we
are thankful that we are awakened to the necessity of render
ing such help. But as it is, the others will be helping us
more than we can help them. The British casualty list of
June shows what that heroic nation dares to do. More than
that even we cannot hope. More than that even we cannot dare
to do-and let us hope that we may at no time be called upon
to pay such a staggering price.

In Nashville, Tenn, Patriot Says, 1--WE

American Soldiers and Here

Women of NASH
Vile All-Ameri-
can.

In judging the South in it's rela-
ton to the Negro, whatever may be
the incident under consideration, if
n is not exceedingly careful he will
go wide of the mark. To be sure
there are certain fixed principles up
on which you can rely in judging the
attitude of the South, but in work.
ing out race relations in the concrete
the South differs as widely as its
length and breadth in geography. For
instance, a group of white Red Cross
workers at Greensboro, N. c., had ar
ranged lunches for a train OF soldiers
that was to pass through the city.
When the Red Cross workers reached
the station and found that the train
vas loaded with colored soldiers they
refused to pass out the lunches, and
right-about-faced and LETT the station
in disappointment. A thoroughly dis.
graceful and un-American thing to do,
in view of the fact that the Negro
soldiers were no doubt then en- route
to the front to make liberty secure
for the very persons in Greensboro
who refused to do them a patriotic
courtesy.
On the other hand, the women of
one of the patriotic organizations of
Nashville, Tenn, recently prepared
cigarettes, post cards and the like
for a trainload of troops routed
through the city. On the arrival OF
the train. to the surprise of the mem.
bers of the organization, the soldiers
were found to be Negro soldiers in
stead of white soldiers. After a mo,
ment's hesitation they went forth
I'VE prepared these comforts fol-
American soldiers" they said, land
here is train full of them" An
exceedingly patriotic and beautiful
thing to do. The women of Nash
vile revealed the all-American spirit
and by contrast the women o
Greensboro are at a decided disad
vantage.
