ASKS THAT HUNS
BE PREVENTED FROM
ABUSING PRISONERS

London, Wednesday,, Nov. 20
british Wireless Service) - The
Times, in discussing the casualties
during the war, calls upon the Allied
governments to compel the Germans
to treat the prisoners in their hands
without abuse. 1t says that the los
ses in the war are the greatest
since Asiatic barbarians carried on
wars of determination.
Now, for the first time" it says.
Eve begin to learn officially at how
great cost the victory has been won.
Our casualties on land amount to
the enormous figure of 100000. To
judge the full sum of bloody sacri-
flee, the casualties of our Allies and
themurders Germany has done must
be added. Since wars of extermina-
ton were carried on by barbaric con-
querors of Asia no such cea of blood
has deluged the world. These pub
lshed casualties are more than
double the entire white population
of New Zealand or of the Union Of
South Africa. They are far great
er than the population Of any city
in the world except London and
New York.
Describing the surrender today OF
the German warships to the COM
mander- in chief of the Grand fleet.
Sir David Beatty, correspondentent.i
say that after all the German ships
had been taken over, the British adj
miral came through the line on the
Queen Elizabeth. Every allied YES
eel greeted the admiral and the flag
ship with loud and ringing cheers.
The British grand fleet put to sea
in two single lines six miles apart
and so formed as to enable the sur
rendering foot to come up in the
center. The leading ship Of the Cer-
man line was sighted between ana
10 O'Clock in the morning. 1t was the
seydlitz, flying the German naval
ensign.

Cost Inspection"
System Is Saving
Big Money for Navy

New York, Nov. 21-The cost in
spection" system under which the
price for naval vessels built on the

been made by the government OF
l,057, 600 pounds of devitalized wheat
gluten, which was to have found its
way to Germany through Switzer-
land, it was announced in a state
ment today by A. Mitchell Palmer,

The custodian withheld the names
of the shippers and consignees of
the wheat, a product rom which
the terminating seed has been taken.

predicted that much higher price
would be obtained at the sale.
The wheat was stored by Ger
man firm.
Wheat gluten is used in the max
ing of diabetic foods, has a high
n. rive value and also is used in the
making of food extracts, said the

sociated Press. SIXTY Prussians
have been taken prisoner by the
Americans near Fismette, north of
Fismes, without either side firing a
shot. The Prussians were machine
gunners and all that remained OF a
company which had been in line less
than a month.
American detachments went out a
few nights ago, the location of the
machine gun positions having been
reported by prisoner. According
to the officer who questioned the
Prussians asserted that they nearly
all had agreed to surrender If the
slightest opportunity arose.
The Americans who took the pris-

capture, declaring that the Prus-
slams virtually deserted their posts.

lieved that if the battle line recedes
to Germany proper the fighting
spirit of the German soldiers will be

Washington, Aug. 20.-Informa-
tion furnished by officers of vessel.
attacked by German submarines al
along the American coast ha:
strengthened the belief held by sew.
eral experienced officials here that tn
the enemy raiders have had commu-
niSation with persons on shore and
may even have landed members OF
their crews in an effort to obtain re-
liable information.
The navy department, officially
refused last night to indorse this be-
lief, though admitting the possibil-
ity.
Positive claim that he met in a
New York saloon an officer from
the submarine that sunk the oil tank
steamer O. b. Jennings is made by
the first officer of that vessel, ac-
cording to a story reaching the de-
partment. The recognition between
the American and German is said to
have been instantaneous, the latter
making his escape when the Amer
lean appealed to a brother officer
accompanying him for confirmation
OF his belief.
Other instances have been heard,
not so we'll substantiated, of the dis
covery of evidence that German
submarines have been in close touch
with the shore. One story along this
line was that the captain of a coast
wise vessel, being ordered to the
submarine with his papers, was
astounded to see on the desk of the
German commander copies of New
York dailies OF the same date.
Communication between the raid
ers and the mainland is possible at
scores of places along the Atlantic
shore, naval officials believe, the if
regularity of the American coast at
lertain points making such thing
possible.
