SHORT ON KULTUR
ON LEAVING HOME

AMSTERDAM, June 1.-THE
statement accompanying the volun-
tary dissolution of the National Ger
man-American alliance, made public
at Philadelphia on April IL, is arous-
ing doleful comment in the German
newspapers, which revive earlier COM
plants that German-Americans 'nev,
er came up to the expected support of
Kultur in the new Fatherland.'
THE only explanation" says an
article in the Berlin Lokal-Anzeiger,
''is that the majority of German emil
grants are insufficiently equipped
with that commodity. Our
optimism regarding the part Ger
man-Americans would play was bas-
ed upon true German sentimental and
naive ideas concerning foreign poli-
tics. Now we have awakened from
the dream and have found that their
supposed allegiance to their old
homeland ideals is mere empty
sound

GERMANS TORTURE
FORTY TO DEATH

LONDON. June T. BY Maii.)-
The slow murder of forty British
prisoners sent by the Germans to
work under fire on the Russian front
is related by a member of the royal
naval division who has just reached
England after escaping from Germany.
1t had been decided, he says. that
out of a party of 500 British prison.
ers, thirty-six should die in conse-
quence of an allegation that thirty-six
German prisoners had been murder
ed by their British sentries.
The men were formed into groups
of three, and the misdeeds',o of any in
dividual were visited upon all three
men in the group.
They were taken from working par
ties at the end of the day. made to
mount on a block and then tied to
pole. The block afterward was
kicked away, leaving the men sus-
pended with their feet a little off the
ground. In this position they were
kept for two and half hours each
night for fourteen nights in intense
cold. Forty men died under the treat
ment.

ON TO BERLIN

~ HERE is joy for the allies
VI and grief for the Hun in
General March's state
ment that over 100000 Ameri-
can soldiers are now in Europe
and that the million mark will
be reached early in July.
There is joy in the fact that
unprepared as it was when the
war came this country has ad-
opted military plan under
which the present enormous
stream of soldiers may be kept
flowing TO France as long as
necessary.
To this end let every loyal
heart cooperate. Let the draft
forces be taken as fast. as need
ed, let the draft be extended so
as to make sure on the score of
abundant manpower for the
army. We have one task and
one only before US. 1t is a task
for every man and every wom-

thoroughly, the more steadfast-

Energetic, resolute war wag-

farms of France while their
men are in the trenches or in
their graves.
