rison told the court she went up
stairs in the rooming house and got
it. In the testimony it was brought
out that after returning to the city
Mcdonald went to pawnshop IN
Washington street and purchased
an automatic pistol for $50. He
told the CHIEF that the other man
had a gun and he wanted TO be on
equal footing while trying to get his
money back.
There was a scuffle, and the Off
Ger said the Indian was reaching III
his shirt for the automatic when
Policeman Ford told him to let it
loos-, and, failing to do so, the Of
f'>-r struck him. McDonald's shirt
had many blood spots on it.
At the station $ll0 was found on
Mcdonald and his sister. They
were not allowed to make bond, be-
cause the police said they were
drunk. They paid their fines.
After being discharged from police
court Mcdonald and his sister went
before the county attorney, where
Mcdonald swore to two complaints,
charging Braziel with taking the $50
from Nina Simpson, and carrying a
pistol. The warrants were issued
from Justice BourlandS court and
Braziel made bond in the sum OF
$500 for a preliminary hearing, the
date OF which has not been fixed.
Braziel said he did not take any
money from the woman and il hav-
ing i gun locked up in his car was
carrying it he might be guilty, but
as for taking the money, he did not
do so. He said he had hauled men.
drunk and sober, with any amount
of momney on them and had never
before been charged with anything
TX, that. He said he would not
have that stain on his name for
many times the amount OF money
involved in this case. He said the
Indians were drunk and he wanted
to get rid OF them and brought them
into town, and intended calling an
officer. as the woman had a pistol
with her in the country and was
shooting it while out there. He said
he believed if the officer had not
reached Mcdonald just when he did
that Mcdonald would have shot
him.

OSAKA'S CITY PLAN

The city planning idea has won its
foothold in Japan. The island king
dom. still strange mixture OF the
ultra modern and the medieval, has
been stirred to constructive action
by the astonishing growth of its
industrial communities, and today
under government supervision. such
great municipalities as Osaka, 4oko-
hama, Nagoya, Kyoto and Kobe have
gone seriously to work. Tokyo, the
capital, knew its first systematic de-
velopment some years since, when
the city planning fever was at its
height in America.
1t is Osaka that contemplates the
most prctentious civic improve
ments. Its industrial development
has been most rapid, and its.sanitary
and housing conditions most OBJ
jectionable. The program there
should interest-not to say astound
anv American community.
Osaka. now a city of rather more
than 100000 inhabitants. with sub
urbs nearly as large, is planning for
streets, parks and transportation ia
cilities for a city of 100000 before
1885, and has already begun to work
upon system of ward markets and
ward community houses, municipal
w owned and controlled, which its
sponsors believe will be models for
many occidental cities.
Japan came late to the council OF
the nations, but its PROGRESS, mill
tary. diplomatic and industrial has
made plain the Nipponese right to
seat and a hearing. Municipal i'm
provements on the scale contemplate
ed by Osaka are added evidence OF
the spirit OF our neighbor on the
west.

DEATH TO PRISONERS

German officers. made prisoners
on the Aisne- Marne front, admit
with ready frankness that they have
told their men that capture by the
Americans means death. The men,
accustomed like the rest of the Ger
man people to accept without ques-
ton the statements OF those in au-
thoritv, have believed and have
fought accordingly.
Now German officers are asking
American officers if they, too, have
not told the men they lead into bat
tie the same ridiculous story, and
they are surprised to learn the truth.
American officers do not need TO tell
this stereotyped lie. Their men fear
capture. indeed, more than death,
but it is only because they have
heard the horrors of German prison
camps. and they prefer to die fight
ing rather than starve and freeze in
vermin- ridden huts, subject TO the
abuse and the brutality of German
civilians.
The Americans, like their allies,
wv why they fight. The Germans
aot and were all the overwhelm-
mass of proof of the justice OF
rllied cause to be discarded. this
iact alone would be sufficient ev-
ence that the German government
is wholly in the wrong. 1t will not
tell the truth to those who obey its
orders, evenas it dare not admit the
truth to itself. and it denies the men
who die for it even the chance to die
with eyes open, seeing things as they
are.
The German Officers lie always to
their men, even as the officials and
the newspapers Il" to the waiting
wives and childrci behind the line.
The German army fights with des-
peration because it believes those
lies. and the German people make
their sacrifice for the same reason.
No lie can be believed forever

THERE'S A BETTER PLAN

New York's big fall moving day"
October |, may be the date set for a
tenants strike" il the new organi-
cation called the Tenants League
wins enough followers to carry out
its purpose. The league, OF course,
is trying to combat the excessive
rent advances of landlords of the
metropolis. III the rents cannot by
legislation or court action be re-
duced to something approaching
fair amount, the promoters OF the
league propose 10 call strike,
The strike will consist OF a general
moving out Of the houses and apart
ments where rates are extortion-
ate.
The difficulty that occurs to the
ordinary observer is that OF finding
other residences for the strikers.
Mrs. Mardfin, promoter OF the
league, proposes to have the organ
ization find shelter for the protest
ing tenants. Ii necessary she would
hire halls and establish barracks for
those who join the grand exodus.
1t does not soun sensible for any
time OF the year. but less so in the
autumn with a possible coal short
age looming ahead in the winter.
Camping out in city streets to de
prive landlords of excessive profits
is not going to hu trthe landslords
very much while there is such 4 great
demand for housing facilities.
III the league concentrates its Ell
fort on studying the problem, get
tings facts about profiteering land
lords and working toward legisla-
tion providing for fair rentals and
lust punishment for violators. it will
be doing more good than by encour-
aging people to dump themselves in
to the streets or into temporary bar
racks.
The rent situation in most of our
cities is serious. Something must be
done to better it. Organized tenants
acting sanely can undoubtedly ac-
comDlish much.
