ROUSED BY DYING CHILDREN
Death of Six From Starvation in Ger.
many Brings Attacks on
Government.

Amsterdam.-The death of six chill
dren at the German reform school in
TiefenOrt, SaXe-Weimer, from what
practically amounts to starvation, al
though it is politely called "undernour-
ishment" in the official reports, has
caused widespread comment in Ger
many.
Assailed in the grand ducal parlia-
ment for tolerating such conditions,
the government put forth the diverting
excuse that the children died from
tuberculosis brought on by deficient
mental conditions" This, says Vor-
waerts in scathing editorial, is "a
disease that is likely to prove more
serious and more mysterious than the
influenza epidemic in Spain"

didates for Judge of the District Court.
His name will appear last on the hal

Judge Wright is not politician, aud
is therefore one of the hest Judges who
ever served OH our district court bench.
He is Of the highest type of man, and
during his term OH the bench did more
than any judge within our memory In
the West Side Criminal court to re-
deem men and women brought before
him. He has an ideal conception of
Justice tempered with mercy and be-
lieves in reformation of man rather
than the infiiction of the last ounce Of
punishment permitted under the law
his humanitarian principles and up
right integrity has endeaped him tn
many of our citizens who have had o''-
casion to appear as witnesses before
him.
The headiess ballot gives the lme5i

of mere party politics by making Judge

Washington.-The war department
authorizes the following:
The present war brought forth
new kind of ammunition for airplane
use in the form Of special cartridges
containing bullets for nrmor-piercing,
tracing, and incendiary purposes.
With the progress Of the war the
more vital parts of the airplane were
protected with light armor, so that 1t
became necessary to introduce the ar
mor-piercing bullet.
AS the gasoline tanks were particu-
larly susceptible to incendiary explo-
sion, 1t was necessary to procure a
bullet containing an inflammable sub
stance, ignited upon discharge, which
would carry the spark Of flame into
the tank upon piercing It.
