THE laundering German psychology,
which misjudged the temper of the
Belgians, the British and the Americans
is now going astray on how best to com
bat an economic boycott, in the opinion
of "The Hartford Times" which com
ments:
did not understand the psychology Of the
rest of the world and that we did not under
stand their psychology This is only a
scientific way of saying that neither could
foresee how the other would act under GER
tain circumstances, and may be freely ad-
mitted true. Had the Germans known
that their conduct would bring them into
their present position and rouse a world
wide armed resistance they would have hes
itated before invading Belgium. AS for u.s.
we would never believe that men calling
themselves civilized could be guilty OF the
causeless aggression and acts of cruelty ana
brutality that mark the acts of German SOL
diers since August, 1914. Now we under
stand what German human nature is capable
of, though tend to ascribe the blame 10
the system the military class alone. bu'
the Germans do not seem to have Learned
anything about free people. They are
much worried over the prospect OF an eco

not be good policy on the part of the Allies

over the editorial horizon for
u expression at the bartering for
Poland. One is a laughter at
kings and the anachronism of the spec
tacle of trading a land and people
away. The other is concerned with
Poland itself, its history and tradition
and the saving of its valuable authentic
qualities to world civilization by auton-
omv Poland is an integral part Of the
European civilization, with deep rooted
atmosphere and tradition 1t is recog-
nized that without satisfaction for Polish
warnings and aspirations to achieve a
permanent quality of life and continual
ton in history there can be no guaran-
tee of peace in Europe.
The laughter is vented thus by "The
Detroit Journal:
THE Kaiser and Emperor Charles have
done a little trading For the loan of fif-
teen divisions of Austrians and Hungarans
the Kaiser relinqushes claims upon com
grand duke instead of German prince will
direct the Poles how they shall fetch and

The New York World" in much the
same mood, observes:
because Germany never fails TO exact
her price for seeming concession, it is
guessed that she has bargained for Austro-
Hungarian help on the Western front in re-
turn for the empty honor OF an Austrian
King Of Poland That the Austrian solu-
ton Of the Polish problem has been con

TINE field of atrocities-where
Germany holds undisputed sway

has been extended to include
such hated Americans as have
been taken prisoner. In spite of the
letters coming to America from inmates
in German camps, who without excep-
ton insist that they are we'll fed and
we'll treated, information is ftering
through that the pictures painted by
these prisoners, perhaps under compul-
sion are far from true.
Indeed, for fiendish cruelty, the Hun;
according to reports, is quite out-hun-
ming himself in his treatment Of prison.
ers-especially American, British and
Czecho- Slovak. The devilish tortures
inflicted on prisoners may possibly be
part of a wel-defned plan of German
military commanders to give the Central
Powers a club to hold in the German
American conference on the exchange
and treatment Of prisoners, which is to
convene at Berne, Switzerland, on Sep
TENDER %.
Referring to the American commits
sion to this conference, THE Memphis
Commercial Appeal writes:
"The personnel of the colnlniss ION has been
completed and is a strong body of men,
headed by John W. Garrett. Out of this
conference it is hoped will come better con
ditions for those of men unfortunate
enough to be captured by the enemy. Ger
tainly tremendous effort will be made to
put things on more humane footing
But. according to information reach
ing 'The Indianapolis News" there Is
a strong sentiment in Germany against
the exchange of American prisoners.
The "Yanks" really ought to be contin-
ued in the courses in kultur in which
they have been involuntarily enrolled.
From this paper the following is quoted:
"a Bremen newspaper thinks that it would
be unfortunate for the American prisoners
in Germany if they were exchanged. In the
first place. they are now working for the
Fatherland, which, of course, is, from the
German point of view, the highest service
they could render to civilization. There is,
it seems, for them, sufficient employment
on the eastern labor market and in agr-
cultural enterprises behind the front But
the prisoners are getting valuable COM
pensation for their labor. 1t will says the
Bremen paper, do the Americans powerful
lot of good to acuuant themselves with Kul-
tur from the fountain-head.'
I'VE have no doubt that Kultur is found
in its highest flower in the German prison
camps, mines and forests where prisoners
are forced to work. But, after all, it is not
necessary to be prisoner in Germany to
learn what German Kultur is The men in
our armies are already familiar with 1t.
They have seen hospitals bombarded and
the Red Cross fired on. Also they have seen
German machine gunners seeking protection
behind the Red Cross emblem.
every day the evidences of German Kul-
tur are forced on them. Looted homes, out
ragged women, mAtiiated children starving
old men and women, devastated towns and
country sides. all have testified to German
Kultur. If there is anything in the world
more hateful and odious do not know
what it is.

cause is not likely to be neglected by this
country The superb courage and patriotism
of the recent victims of an Austrian court
martial appeal profoundly to our sympa-
tines, and although the two Kaisers nay
barter away the Polish throne, each in an
attan1pt to save his own, the bargain will
never be ratified. Poland will once again
be united and free, thanks to the steadfast
endurance of her peoples wherever they may

A TENDENCY
TO ANEMIA MAY
BE INHERITED

A tendency to thin blood, or anemia,
NAV be hereditary. In fact it often
rms in families and in such cases it
should be com hated, as soon as symp-
tom shows, by the use of reliable
blood-making tonic.
Mrs. Elsie Monatesse, 2 Porter street,
Harerhill, Mass, and her seventeen
year-old daughter, both used DR.. Will.
fiams' Pink Pills for the treatment OF
anemia and their experience follows:
81 had suffered with anemia or lack
of blood from my girlhood, "says Mrs.
Monatesse. 81 was losing my strength,
was run down, and had terrible head
aches. I took bitter tonics and other
medicines but they did not seem to
help me. Twas discouraged, my appe-
tite was poor and what l did eat would
not stay on my stomach.
II had heard of people who were
benefited by using DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and / decided to try them. I
noticed improvements after I had taken
three boxes. My appetite became
better and l felt stronger in every
way.
"My daughter, Antoinette, became
run down about three years ago and
seemed to have no ambition. She was
colorless and her limbs ached continu-
ally. She had no appetite and her face
broke out with pimples. DR.. VII
liams' Pink Pills helped her at once,
and she began to eat better. Her color
came back, and the pains in her limbs
disappeared"

without doubt the attempt OF the
Germans to save their biggest guns
