Policy 04 FrIghtfuIness.

Now, the essence of VOn ClauSewitz' teachings was that successful war in- wolves the ruthless application of force. In the opening chapter of his master work. "yom Kriege" con WarO, he says:
 "Violence arms itself with the inven- tions of art and science. Self imposed restrictions, almost impercep- tibIe and hardly worth mentioning, termed usages of international law, accompany It without essentially i'm pairing It's power. Now, philan- thrOpic souls might easily imagine that there is a skillful method of disarm- ing or Subduing an enemy without causing too much bloOdshed, and that this is the true tendency of the art ot war. However plausible this may ap- near. still 1t Is an error which must be destroyed; for in such dangerous things as war, the errors which pro ceed from spirit of 'gOOd-natured- ness are precisely the worst. As the use of physical force to the utmost eX- tent by no means excludes the O. operation of the intelligence. 1t follows that he who uses force ruthlesSly, with out regard to blOodShed, must obtain superiority, if his enemy does not so use it."
 In 1ST7-7S, in the course of series of articles upon Military Necessity and Humanity" General von Hartmann wrote. in the same spirit as YOn Clau- sewitz:
 "The enemy state must not be spared the want and wretchedness of war; these are particularly useful in shat terlng its energy and Subduing Its will individual persons may be harshly dealt with when an example is made of them, intended to serve as warn ing. Whenever q national war breaks out, terrorism becomes a nee essary military principle" Tt is a gratultous illusion to suppose that modern war does not demand far more brutality, far more violence, and an actlonofar more general than was for merly the case"
 In 1881 Won MOltke, who had been commander in chief of the PrussIan army in the Franco-Prussian war, de clared:
 "Perpetual peace Is dream and not | even a beautiful dream. War Is an ele- | ment In the order of the world estab- lished by God. By 1t the most noble virtues of man are developed, courage and renunciation, fidelity to duty and the spirit of sacrlflce-the soldier gives his life.

The committee on public infOr- matiOn, appointed by the president, and consisting of the secretary Ot state, secretary of war, secretary Ot he nary, and George Greet, official censor, has made public q mass Ot .eridence dealing with German war practices which ShowS the kaiser s leaders n the field and in command Of captured points 10 be directly re- SpOnSibIe for He bsaStlineSs Which has characterized the operations Of the Huns" in the present conflict. Quotations from he pamphlet fol- l0w:
 For many years leaders in every civ illzed nation have been trying to make warfare less brutal. The great land marks in this movement are the Ge- neya and Hague conventions. The for mer made rules as to the care of the sick and wounded and established the Red Cross. At the first meeting at Ge- neva, in 1864 1t was agreed, and until the present war 1t has been taken for granted. that the wounded, and the doc tors and nurses who cared for them, would be safe from all attacks by the enemy. The Hague conventions, drawn up in 1899 and 1907, made addI- ! tiOnal rules tO soften the uSages of war and especially to protect noncOmbat- ants and conquered lands. Germany took q prominent part in these meet Ings. and with the other nations sol emnly pledged her faith to keep all the rules except one article in the Hague regulations. This was article A, which forbade the conQueror to force any of the conquered to give infOrma- tion. All the other rules and regula- tionS she accepted in the most binding manner.
 But GermanyS military leaders had no intention of keeping these solemn promises. They had been trained along different lines. Their leading generals for many years had been urg- ing q policy of frightfulnesS. In the middle of the nineteenth century Von ClauSewltz was looked upon as the greatest military authority, and the methods which he advocated were used by the PruSsian army in Its successful wars of lS66-1S71. Consequently be cause these wars had been successful the wisdom of Yon Clausewitz' meth odS seemed to the Prussian army to be | fully proved.

ON U-BOAT
Naval Officers Fear Gifts From
Raiders Infected.
Declare German U.BOats Cause
of Epidemic in Spain.

Washington, June 5.-That the
German U-boat raiders carried dis
ease germs to this country was the
belief of some naval officers today.
Officials warned that survivors of
the U-boat attacks should avoid CIV
ing away as souvenirs any of the
food or other articles given them by
the U-boat commanders.
While not intended to cause undue
alarm it was officially pointed out
that a German submarine carried dis
ease germs into Spain, apparently
those which caused the strange epi-
demic similar to the grippe, now -ag-
ing there.
This fact. coupled with the strange
conduct of German commanders to-
ward U-boat victims. was regarded as
suspicious.
German commanders do not do
things that way" said one official to-
day. "It is unparalleled in German
submarine history that a U-boat
should give food and water to its
victims"

New York, June 5.-The American

175 miles off New York and eleven of
her crew were brought here today
by a Danish steamship.
washington, June 5.-Concentra-
tion today of American naval forces
off the Maryland coast followed the
receipt of advices eby the navy de-
partment that German undersea craft
having sunk a probable total of ten
vessels off the New Jersey coast, had
yesterday transferred the scene OF
their depredations further south.
Just as naval officials had con-
concluded that the German raiders
had left American waters for their
home port, there came the. news that
a French tank steamer, the Radio
leine, was saved from destruction
early yesterday by an American de-
coast. The same dispatch brought
the news that there had been another
schooner, the Edward Baird. Jr., add
ed to the list of submarine victims.
So Lost from the Carolina.
The Baird was found in a sinking
condition by the destroyer which took
on board two of the schooner's sur
vivors. The Baird was a vessel of II
tons hailing from Wilmington. Del.
No report had been received early to-
day as to other members of the
schooners crew and it was not known
whether other additions would be
made to the list of 5S persons be-
lieved to have been lost when the
steamship Carolina was shelled and
sunk.
In attacking the French tanker
Radioleine, the German raiders made
their first attempt to, sink a trans
atlantic vessel. The navy department
dispatch stated that the Radioleine
was later reported as having reached
an American port.
Driven from n. Y. Coastal Waters.
Transfer of the scene of operations
from the waters off New Jersey TO
the Maryland region was taken by
navy department officials to mean
that the large number of patrol YES
sells, seaplanes and other craft which
went out in search of the raiders
when the first news of the sinkings
was received Monday morning, had
made it too uncomfortable for the
enemy in the northern region.

GET FAKE TELEGRAMS
Adjutant General Advises DRAFT
Boards to Watch Out.

That fraudulent letters and tele-
grams purporting to be from some
branch of the government depart
ments or bureaus in Washington, are
being received by many local draft
boards over the country, was made
known in a telegram to Adj. Gen.
Chas. s. Huffman from Provost Mar.
shal General Crowder which was
quoted in a letter from the adjutant
general to local draft boards. The
telegram states that several such
cases have been reported. the mes
sages evidently being sent by persons
intent upon confusing the local boards
regarding the draft and the movement
OF troops.
The adjutant general urges that an
draft boards keep a sharp lookout for
these forgeries and report them It
once. that action may be taken. They
are also advised to disregard any fn-
structions not coming direct from
General Crow1er himself or from the
office of the adjutant general.

That Will Be Done II Necessary,

Every Call Must Be Met, Says
Provost Marshal.
HUFFMAN GETS TELEGRAM
1,595,7OO Sent to. Army Since
War Began.
Much Work Yet To Be Done by
Draft Boards.

The United States has sent 1885,
70s men to the army training camps
since the beginning o the war. ac-
cording to a message today to Charles
S. Huffman, adjutant general, from
Provost Marshal Crowder. The rec
ord includes June inductions, but does
not include today's call for 10000 col
ored troops from southern states,
which would bring the total of 1885,
70S.
Crowder.s statement shows that
more than 100000 have been in
ducted-including all June calls
since January 1. The calls for Sep
tember October, November and De-
cember totalled 516,363. Calls in
May broke all previous records and
accounted for a grand total of 373,-
O63 in training. camps for the month.
Including the call for colored troops,
the June inductions will amount to
332.353. Crowder's figures are ex-
elusive of today's call and show 292,-
354 Inductions for the three months
of November, December. and January
totalled a little more than 1900, or
about $500 less than the February
calls. Total inductions to June l were
1,303.354.
Plans for Future Calls.
In his message to General Huff
man, Crowder outlines plans for many
future calls. He intimates strongly
that men in second, third and even
the fourth class may prepare for ac-
tive service. The message contains
high praise for the army of 100000
men who have handled the selective
draft work. In July this army will
begin the task of separating the idlers
from the toilers and sending the
idlers into army service.
mo call can be so large" says the
Crowder telegram, that it will not be
filled Immediately whether the num-
ber be such as may be filled by those
who have been found to stand in the
first rank of availables, or so great
that men standing in the second, third
or fourth ranks of availability must
go. In other words, all these millions
of men who one year ago were an
inert mass have become a mobile
army. Each has found his place and
each in his proper turn has marched
or awaits this order to march.
Much Work to Be Done
Much work yet remains. Today
the new men of twenty-one are being
registered and must be speedily classi-
fled. On the first of next month the
local and district boards will be in
vested with the still further response
bility of preventing idleness and of
unproductive employment which is
not effective to the nation in the
emergency"

gram shows the following record of
inductions at army camps since the
beginning of the war:
