French prisoners. according 10 state
ment made bv General Friedrich, the
officer in charge of prisoner affairs in
Germany, to the main committee of
the reichstag on Jan 10 General
Friedrich gave this information in the
course OF a discussion as to the meas
ureS being taken TO combat the al
legged ill-treatment Of German prisoners
in France. General Friedrich began
hv asserting that France stood far be-
hind the other nations in her treat
mcnt of prisoners and then, as re-
ported in the Berlincr Tagcblat., con
tirued:
- In the plenary session of tne reiehs-
tag il has been declared openly that
the German government Is not willing
to allow its brave soldiers TO be treated
arbitrarily If the French do not
change their attitude further sharp
measures or raqrisal will be ordered.
The grave wrong that the French have
done to our Alsatians and their refusal
to return them was the cause of 600
Frcnchmen being sent 70 Lithuania and
400 French women to Holzminden. At
least 500 Alsatians are still being il
legally held III France. All representa-
tions and negotiations have been dis
regarded by tac French The informed
persons will be held until the French
have handed over the last Alsatian
We are absolutely justified in so doing

tions in Bernc with the English and
the other nations. Both sides showed
willingness to get the exchange OF pris-

the war These difficulties are du

that is the submarine
''The submarine was sprung up0r
the British navy. at any rate the new
methods and morals of the submarine
as Il surprise. | remember that Lord
Fisher wrote a memorandum in 1911
in which he expressed the opinion that
if the Germans were to 90 to war with
Great Britain they would use subma-
rines against merchant ships. That
memorandum went to the board of adj
miralty after ! had joined it as sec,
ond sea lord, and there was nobody in
a responsible position who agreed that
the German navy would really do such
a thing as Lord Fisher predicted
"Well, Lord Fisher was right, as in
many eases, and the navy was UMPIRE
pared to deal with the submarine in
that particular direction. But even if
the words of Lord Fisher had been be-
lieved there was no time to introduce
measures which would have effeetuallv
stopped the submarine from getting
out and that is the only way to deal
with them. There is no royal road to
the saving of your merchant ships from
the submarine once the latter has got
out of its harbor. The only royal road
is to block him in, and that is an impos
sible operation.
But the British navy was faced
with its task and it did its best It
is = superhuman task, because the sub
| marine is q craft which can 90 under
water for "a hours and lie under water
| for 4S hours, and you don't know
where she is.
. People have asked me recently why
our losses in the Irish Sea are so heavy.
/ The reason is this: There is much
shoal water in the Irish Sea, so that
the submarines can find plenty of
places where they can drop right to the
bottom and sit there without sound
! In deep water they can't do that. be
cause a submarine can't safely 90 deep
or than $50 to 200 feet, and cant lie
still unless she is on the bottom. RI
keep submerged in deep water, she
must keep her engines going.
"Well. in the Irish Sea subma
rine sinks ship and gets craft afte
her Our ship hunts her out, but a.
soon as things get too hot for thu
U-boat she dives and sits quietly at tn
bottom until her troubles are over
Our ship must after a time go back t
port for fuel. Then up comes tn
U-boat again and continues her ne
farious career. That is the difficult,
in that particular locality. She ca
sit at the bottom for IS hours if sh
| likes and then come up in some othe
part of the sea.
, Similarly, the difficulty in keepin
them to their own ports is accentuate
, by the fact that the water in an
around the Heligoland blight for
radius of $50 miles is of depth /
I which the submarine can sit at the bo'
tom. Assuming that we had a sufiicier

Baby Mallards Dra,D
Many TO Riverside

A big flock Of baby mallard ducks
that have been Matched at Riverside
cemetery are attracting the attention
and interest of many visitors to the
lake these evenings. There are now
more than forty OF these little Wild
rucks on the lake, they having been
Matched from the eggs lain by the two
hen mallards that with their mates
were placed in the cemetery last fall.
Most of the eggs were Matched ur'der
hens. that brought out three or four
settings. The hen mallards. who laid
eighty eggs, were allowed to set on
eggs and both came off with sixteen
little Nwoolly ducks Wednesday. No
sooner were they all out OF the shells
than the old mothers led them frovl
the barn nearby to the lake and in they
all went. One was crippled and died
in the nest and one other was so
wobbly on his legs that he could not
make the long journey to the water.
He was given a little special care by
the keeper until noon, when he had
gained enough strength to join his lit
tie brothers and sisters in the big lake.

those who are willing to take two or
more children for two weeks to phone
the Y. w. c. A. rooms and make the
arrangements. Most of the children
were taken last year by families in tA,
country so the association is hoping
that the same will be the case this year
altho Miss Lora Hagler. local secretary
of the Y. w. c. A., win be glad if fami-
lies in town will take children. She
hopes to find places for at least forty
children as there are many more chill

Teamsters, Chauffeurs and Helpers
Union No. 575 has submitted new
schedule of wages, hours and better
working conditions to their employers
and are meeting with success, several
of the large transfer concerns having
granted the new schedule and every
thing points to a favorable conclusion
of the negotiations now on.
This young organization now has a
membership of 700 enthusiastic mem
bers and bids fair to be the largest
and strongest union in the city. Much
of the progress this union has made
is due to the untiring efforts of Busi-
ness Agent William N Stacks, who
has been on the job night and day
working TO make Local No. 575 a
powerful factor in the labor move
ment of this city. Credit is also due
the other officers of Local No. 575
for their assistance in this work.
A charter has been asked from the
International Transfers Union for a
local union of bread drivers of To-
peka, Kan. Three meetings were
held in order to perfect this union,
and before demand was made for a
charter this organization was per-
fected to 100 per cent membership.
This is a trick probably never accom-
plished in organizing any union in the
United States.

THE KIND TO BUY

There are few people who wish to
buy or select caskets unless forced
to, but when we are compelled to buy
them we should make sure they are
Denver Union Made. Especially
when they are made right and sold
right. The Thompson Mortuary &
Manufacturing Company are manu-
featuring cheap, medium and high
grade caskets, and will make special
designs when requested. If any Den
yer undertakers tell you they can not
get union made caskets in Denver, go
to the Thompson Mortuary display
rooms at Alameda and Logan in con-
nection with their factory, select any
style you wish and have it finished
according to your idea. 1t will be
strictly Denver union made. They
will deliver it to any home, and the
kindred, if they do not wish to engage
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson for profess
sional service, can select any under
taker they wish, and will save money.
