tiers for relief of prisoners at Berne.
Switzerland, for distribution to newly
arrived prisoners. There are about
twenty-five Americans in the Tuchcl
camp at present.
1t is hoped that arrangements can
be made in the near future, whereby
all or nearly ali Of the German prison
camps will be stocked with similar
emergency supplies, in anticipation Of
the wants of those who are unfor-
tunate enough to fall into the hands
of the enemy. There are approx
mately 200 main prison camps in Ger
many, and some 10000 prison groups,
counting the small detachments of
prisoners sent out to do farm labor.
The American Red Cross plans to sup
ply all these work camps, as we'll as
others where American prisoners are
held, with the regulation food par
cells.
In the ordinary course of affairs it
would be necessary for the bureau at
Berne to be advised regarding the
arrival of American prisoners in Il
German camp before sending food
parcels. Ten days or more would
elapse before the prisoners could have
the benefit Of the rations. At the
camp at Tuchel, according to advices
received by cable from Berne, Ser
geant Halyburton and Corporal Upton
American prisoners, have been dele
gated custodians of the emergency
food supplies, and a storer0om has
been assigned to them in which to
keep the parcels that have, been for
warded.

what the unassimilated foreigner did

The immigrant who comes to Amer
lea to become an American and who
works at that job should be welcome;
but of late years too many of another
kind have settled here. Powerful in
~fluences have been at work against
their Americanization in the old way.
Free entry and opportunity have been
given not only to the honest, sturdy
immigrant with a sincere admiration
for our country and the will to work
and become a loyal American, but to
the fellow who had only the will to
work us and against US. The foreign
agitator has been welcomed and told
to go ahead and agitate, ever when
he blackguarded u country and lied
to the ignorant and the credulous
about our government. The profess
sional troublemaker has been per-
mitted to go ahead and make trouble.
Almost any scoundrel in Europe who
fancied a trip to u shores has had
a fair field and plenty of favor over

has been the refuge of the oppressed,
but it has also been the haven of a
lot of rascals who have abused u
hospitality and besmirched u insti-

The final blame for these conditions

SCI1M OF THE MELTING POT

The following editorial from the
Saturday Evening Post is strlklngiy
appropriate at this time and we re-
produce it in full:
American ca~relessness, ~cussedness
and politics are responsible for the
internal situation that has caused so
much anxiety during the past year.
In the heat and stir of preparation the
scum has risen to the top.
As America has turned her face to-
ward the enemy every dirty u in
the country has snapped at her heels.
We have found that enemy intrenched
in America as we'll as in France
sapping in our schools, undermining
in our press, burrowing in our mu-
nicipal and state governments-snlp-
ing whenever a back has been turned.
1t looks bad, but it is only scum,
and beneath it .Americanism is COM
ing to the boiling point. We are in
the healthy condition of knowing
what the trouble is. We have been
too free with America-giving every

age there is someone with whom they
can talk wei family matters, and by
whom they can send word to their

"We shall have on the transports

The war council of the American
Red Cross has just appropriated from
the war fund the sum of $14,40O for
the education in Switzerland of forty
Serbian students in the study of dem
tistry and tuberculosis. The appro-
priation was made upon the recon-
mendation of Cordenio A. Severance,
Red Cross commissioner for Serbia,
who pointed out that the hardships
endured by the Serbian army and peo-
pie have resulted in a great increase
in tuberculosis. The sum voted will
pay for the maintenance and educa-
ton of the young Serbians for a
course lasting n year.

tional and race prejudice, to passion,
ignorance and discomfort. They have
made possible the perpetuation of a
babel of tongues, a segregation of
races, a growing class prejudice in
this country. They have exalted the
hyphen until it has become a badge of
honor; they have groveled to every
vote except the American vote. 1t is
about time to show them what the
solid Americanism of this country can
do to them at the polls.
Added to all these forces, selfish,
grating, sinister, we have the class
appeal-the easiest of all with the
uneducated or half-educated foreigner,
who has been class-ridden- all his life,
without the opportunity that he has
over here to become a member of any
class for which his brains and his will
to work qualify him. AS the appeal

magogue, the CRATER, the cheap sin

"men with soft hands and hard faces"
or with hard hands and soft faces,
are everywhere just now-among la
Dor, bidding it take advantage of the
nations need; among farmers, telling
them that they are getting a raw deal.
They search out a particular sore

that. Last and least are. those fat

light on them. They are self-sacri-

ROARING WHILE
GERMANS MASS RESERVES
Heavy British Casualties in
Week; 6,555 Killed or Dead
of Wounds.

With the British Army in France,
May 1O.-The artillerymen yesterday
and last night continued to carry the
weight of the conflict on their shoul-
ders and had a busy time of it at
numerous points along the battle
front.
There vas no infantry action in
this period, but from the furious, gun
duels waged south of Arras during the
early part of the night one might
easily have drawn the conclusion that
a grand attack was in progress.
During the evening the Germans es-
sayed a raid near Boyelles and about
the same time the British, a few
thousand yards northward at Neuville-
Vitasse, undertook an expedition into
the enemy's lines. The first move sent
colored flares whirling across the sky
in an appeal for artillery barrage.
Within a few seconds the big guns of
both sides all along this part of the
front were pounding away like mad,
and for several hours the duel con-
tinued with drumfire intensity.
Heavy Ground Delays Germans.
Doubtless the heavy ground, due to
rains, is holding back the preparations
of the Germans, for it is no easy task
20 move up men, guns and supplies
over the morass in thes sh%ell-furrowed
territory to the front. Meanwhile the
allied line everywhere is being REIN
forced to meet the enemy when again
he unlashes his infantry forces. The
Americans are taking a prominent
part in this strengthening Of the line.
M. Clemenceau, the French premier,
who has just returned to Paris from
a visit to the battle front, is authority
for the statement that American
troops are continuing to arrive in the
battle zone in force.

: This is the picture I saw last Janu.
ary in France,-and you have merci-
fully changed It! Color enough there
was-above, the eternal blue; in the
background, fields Of living green,
which the German shells could not
prevent from creeping back; in the
middle foreground, a long village
street so battered and burned that
1t vas merely a canyon Of cream-col-
ored ruins. In front Of n little
broken house were four figures In
black-an old woman, pOking among
the fallen stones in a vain search for
something that could be used; a
younger woman: seated on what had
once been a doorstep, with her face
hidden in her rms and a little boy
and girl, who stared, half frightened,
half curious, at the desolation about
them. The little boy held in his thin
hand a Red Cross flag. All four were
pale and gaunt the faces and bodies
Of the children showed none of the
round curves that make the beauty Of
4 child.
This is their history: When the
war broke out, Nine. Pellier, her
mother and her four younger children
were visiting her husbands mother IN
the north of France. Her husband
and two elder o N were at home In
Lorraine taking care of the summer
crops. Then the war! The mother
tn-law Of Nine. Pellier was Ill and
could not be left. Her old mother
was afraid to travel to Lorraine with
the full care Of the four children. Be-
fore they could all start together the
Germans invaded. Bad news is allow
ed to come Into northern France, and
so as the months passed Nine. Pellier
learned that her village home had been
bombarded and that her husband and
two sons had been killed. Except for
the Belgian Relief Commission, which
operates in northern France also, she
and her little ones would have starved
outright. At the best they were un
dernourished. Then the great pusf
began, and hopes for France grew
high. But as the French soldiers ad
vanced they had to lombard the north
ern towns. Nine. Pellier begged TIL
Germans to let her 60 away with he
children-even into Germany. Thi
was refused. She tried to seek safet,
in some cellar whenever there was
bombardment. Nevertheless a shell
killed two Of her children.
