EMITTING THE JAILS.

A Canadian paper reports government of- ficial as stating that prohibition was fast empty ing the jails all over the country. This official reports that in some places where the local jails were never without drunks charged with various crimes, they have not had drun:- for months. The prison population has decreased twenty five per cent and the percentage of crime has fallen off noticeably, this official reports.
 We readily agree with that man that pro- hibition is emptying jails for we have proof right handy that such is the case, and thank goodness, to the benefit of our fellowmen. And while there is still some drinking going on in spots, the decrease in crimes and accidents is re- markable Up to the first day of the present year, hardly month passed without the acc- dental drowning of one or more men through liquor. Hardly day passed without one or more cases of drunk and disorderly conduct ap- peared before the municipal or commissioners s courts. And despite this great change, the bus mess of our town that opponents of prohibition predicted would go to the dogs has brought on prosperity instead. The grass that was pre- dicted would grow in the streets has not taken roots yet. And to think that we have ceased to make beasts of ourselves It is all wonderful.

WHERE ARE THEY?

Ii would be interesting to discover what has become of the dyed-in-the-wool l. w. w. who were so numerous only few weeks ago. It is not probable that they have been shamed into going to work: for they have been usually in- pervious to moral suasion and their numbers cannot have been appreciably changed by indus trial condition. Like the hobos, in busy as well as in slack seasons they have been proud in their boast that they never have worked and never would work. But it is now clear that they have eon. somewhere and without leaving trace ence of the sub-chasers in this part of the terri tory had the desired effect

LONDON, October 22-With refer
ence to the paragraph in the German
note denying that the German navy
in sinking ships ever purposely de-
stroyed lifeboats with their pas
sengers. it: is pointed out in govern
ment circles that many cases could be
quoted in reply to this denial. Two re-
cent cases are the Llandovery Castle.
the Canadian hospital ship sunk in the
Atlantic, and the French steamer
Lydiana, sunk on the north coast of
Spain July 1s.
The Llandovery Castle was torpedoed
and sunk of the Irish coast on the
night of June q. while returning
from Halifax with no wounded abroad.
The vessel carried 258 persons, includ-
ing fourteen female nurses, and only
twenty-four were saved. The German
submarine made no effort to aid the
survivors and even tried to sink at
least one Of the lifeboats.
pedoed, two whaleboats and raft were
lowered. The German submarine
famned both boats, cutting them in
two. After several fruitless attempts,
the submarine succeeded in sinking the
raft and then disappeared without help
ing TIE SURVIVORS,. NINE men OF the
crew of forty-two were picked up
later. having chung to wreckage for
more than day. The second engineer
OF the Lydiana reported that the crew
of the submarine had laughed at him
when he accused them of deliberately
trying to kill all on board the steamer.
The section of the wireless text of
the German note referred 70 reads:
The German government further de-
MES that the German. navy in sinking
Iships has ever purposely destroyed life
boats with their passengers. The Ger
man government proposes with regard
to all those charges that the facts be
cleared up by neutral commissions"

NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, October
q (by the Associated Press).-Three
German airplanes were brought down on
Friday by Lieut.. Cleveland McDermott
Of Syracuse, N. Y. This was disclosed
by further details received today of the
exploit Of this airman. who previously
was reported to have brought down one
Fokker on that day. This increases to
eighteen the number of German ma
chimes destroyed. on Friday by Lieut..
McDermott and the other American
aviators who were protecting the planes
engaged in the all-American bombing
raid.
After bringing down his first oppo-
nent the lieutenant was attacked by five
Fokkers. He Unanswered toward the
American lines, fighting all the time and
sending down one of the Germans. Just
before his machine was downed near
Brieulles he winged the third German.
This places a total of four enemy ma
chimes to the credit of the lieutenant.

UNTIL AFTER ELECTION
Series Of Three-Day Recesses Gives
Freedom to Conduct
Campaigns.

There is general getaway from
Washington by members of Congress.
Under a gentlemen's agreement the
House has entered upon series of
three-day recesses until the revenue
bill comes back in amended form from
the Senate, or until the Senate offers
a concurrent resolution for a'definite
period Of adjournment -
Members as they are leaving Wash
iington are planning not to be back
until after the November election.
There is an informal agreement in
the Senate for definite period Of
adjournment from October % to No
vsmber II. and the House leaders On
both sides are agreeable to a con-
current resolution for this period Of
adjournment. When the Senate brings
in a concurrent, resolution the House
members will accept it and enter upon
the definite period instead of the
three-day recesses.
1t is not expected that the. Senate
finance committee will have finished
rewriting the revenue bill before Oc-
tober %. The House members, there
fore, feel that in absenting them
selves from Washington they will be
privileged to remain at home until
after the election.
