Repriisals.

Oi all the allied nations fighting against the
Hun, only ono ilrus lar has given the bully OF Eu-
rope the medicine which will stop his torture OF
prisoners OF war. That country is France.
There time when Germans ill-treated
French captivcs. They starved them They stole
parcels French people sent into Germany for their
captured soldiers. They beat them. They forced
them TO labor long hours in death bringing condi-
tons They murdered them.
And Germany laughed at French pleas TO ex-
change prisoners, for Germany was grinding tho
blood and life out OF prisoners in her camps while
Germans held in French prison camps were well
fed. Germany did not want to send her captiyes
back until she had wrung the last ounce of toll out
of them and made them unfit for further war
duty.
Then it that France began her program OF
reprisals. When the Germans served Soup like
biil-stickers paste" to Frenchmen the Frenchmen
procured the recipe and supplied similar fluid to
the Germans in their prisons. When the German
government lost" Frcnchmens parcels and offered
no satisfaction the French stopped the parcels from
German prisoners-and cut down their rations.
In that way France convinced the Huns that
French prisoners must be treated as human be-
ings. Then Germany agreed TO exchange prisoners
with France.
But Germany continues her horribly cruel treat
ment of British prisoners.
Great Britain thus far has refused to put into
execution the program of reprsal which would pro-
tect her men in German camps more surely than
anything else. This mistake though is in a fair
way to be corrected The British public demand

few American prisoners are in German camps.
More will be there. There have been well authen-

indicate that the Germans are abusing our bows
more shamefully than the prisoners of any other

War Mothers.

War mothers who have united their win-the-
war efforts to best aid their in training here
and fighting "ovcr there" have been asked to
change the name OF their organization to Victory
Mothers"
The man who suggests the change believes
Victory Mothers" will mean more to the boys
and the mothers themselves than War Mothers
He forgets that all mothers, even she who has not
been permitted to give to her countrys cause,
arc working and hoping to be victory mothers.
This includes the young mother with her babe in
her arms and the grandmother whose sons long
ago passed Uncle Sans military age line.
Every true and loyal mother in all America is a
victory mothcrl
It. is different when comes to speak of a
''War Mother" Ono just naturally thinks OF boy
who has left home for service, and who may never
return. One cannot keep from his mind that serv-
ice flag in the home window when he thinks Of
mothers.
Therefore, let us continue thinking OF those who
give their sons as war mothers, and OF all mothers,
including those with stars-blue and golden-in
their service flags, as victory mothers.
And let us not forget that the sons of war
mothers have gone from their side, and for that
reason war mothers should have first call upon our
sympathy and assistance.

France. Friday, June 7.-Reports of
recent heavy German train move

ward the ST. Mihiel salient has
aroused discussion in the American
eXpeditionary forces as to whether
the enemy is planning an assault in
the Woevre.
Offers Logical Point
From tactical point of view the
neighborhood of St. Mihiel. with its
sharp salient, offers a logical place
for 4 German attack. 4 drive
through St. Mihiel TO the southwest,
il is considered, might have a triple
obiect-the menacing of Barbecue.
the outflanking of Verdun from the
rear and the elimination of the sa-
lient which has its apex at Verdun.
For the moment, at least perhaps
permanently. the allies have stopped
the enemy at the Marne. Many en-
gagements of tactical nature may
be expected even if the Germans de-
eide il is useless to continue their ef-
forts along the Marne and elect to
hit the allied line at other places.
The position of the railways and the
formation of the terrain northwest
and north of Barbecue offer tn
Germans an opportunity. OF course.
what the future holds for the Amer
lean forces around St. Mihiel is not
known. but the salient there is being
discussed as a possibility not to be
lost sight of.

Another place which is likely to
see more fighting is the sector
around Montdidier where American
troops recently captured Cantigny
Another important point at which
American troops are stationed is the

YANKEE DISCIPLINE
HOLDS UNDER DANGER
American Soldiers Described
as Having "Nerves of Steel"
While Destroyers Attack
Enemy Submarines


London, Thursday, June O.
German submarines were foiled
in their attempts against a con-
voy which included ships carry
ing American troops and Amer
can Red Cross workers, accord
ing to the Rev. Father Joseph
Wareing. of Baltimore, one of
the Red Cross party and who ar
rived in London yesterday. The
protecting destroyers got into
action quickly on two occasions
last Sunday, but Rev. Wareing
did not know whether any, sub
marines had been sunk.
To the Associated Press, Rev.
Father .Wareing. who had trying
experience following the torpedoing
of the British steamer Laconia in
February. 1917. said:
Two U-BoatS Sighted
Soon after we reached the danger
zone our convoy was attacked by
German submarines and for a few
minutes I thought 1 was in for an
other experience of the same kind
as I had on the Laconia. The exact
number of the enemy U-boats was
not determined but at least two were
seen.
I'VE had a lively escort of British
destroyers. however, and they were
on the trail of the periscope like .
flash. Guns and depth charges be-
gan popping like giant firecrackers
on the Fourth of July. Fifteen depth
charges were dropped Into the nest
of German submarines. Whether
any submarines were sunk I cannot
say for we were on a fast ship and
enveloped in smoke. but l know we
did not lose'a single ship. Our con-
voy carried large number of Amer
ican troops, I cannot tell you how
many.
Enemy Beaten on
When the first alarm was sounded
for the passengers to go to their. life
boat stations late on Sunday after.
noon I was in my stateroom Word
was passed around that enemy sub
marines had been sighted. I'hac
no sooner reached my station than
depth charges began to explode.
shaking our ship. After a few min.
/. utes or anxious waiting at the life
boat stations we received the signal:
The enemy has been beaten off,
Discipline on board was superb.
The troops behaved as if a subma-
rine attack was part of the every
day routine and there was not the
slightest furry anywhere on board.
For GOODNESS in time of emergency
l do not think you can beat these
young Americans. Their nerves are
like steel.
The Second Alarm
Two hours later on the same day
while | was preparing for dinner
another alarm was sounded and al
most simultaneously the destroyers
began dropping depth charges. one
landed within about 500 yards of our
ship and gave it a good shaking.
After the sinking of the Laconia
on February 26 1917, the Rev. Father
Wareing was in the same lifeboat
with Mrs. Mary E. Hoy, of Chicago
and her daughter, Miss Elizabeth
Hoy. Mrs. Hoy and her daughter
both died of exposure and were
buried at sea.

Washington, June S.-Plans OF

against further depredations by Ger
man submarines we e believed to-
day to have been set in motion.
Putting into effect of the home cam
paign known to have been formu-
lated some time ago has only been
hastened by the visit of raiding
U-boats to the Atlantic coast, 1t was
intimated, and the present efforts are
but part of a long contemplated
program.
May Lie I'm Wait
Future visits from the German
raiders may be expected it was said,
and Atlantic coast waters must not
henceforth be considered as sub
marine-proof The Navy Departs
ment would not venture prediction
to-day as to whether the craft which
preyed upon American coastwise
shipping early in the week might
still be lurking in waters on this
side of the Atlantic. 1t was said
that the vigilance of patrols in no-
wise had been lessened nor would it
be decreased even after it was safely
assumed that the submarines had re-
turned to their, home ports.
Use Bombs i'm Attack
The latest dispatch made public
by the Navy Department concerning
the raiders was the announcement
last night of the sinking late We'd
nesday of the Norwegian steamer
Vinland, of 1,193 tons, 65 miles off
the Virginia capes. The crew of the
Vinland was landed safely at Cape
May. n. j., yesterday. The sinking
of the Finland followed that of the
British steamer Harpathian by nine
hours and occurred 80 miles nearer
the Virginia coast. Bombs were used
in the attack on the Vinland.
