INTERESTING NEWS

At the ship we were met by several

taken Immediately to the hotel the
"Y' runs for the accommodation of its
workers.
After visiting several places of in
terest and having dinner at the ex-
cellent Y. M. C. A. cafe, we retired for
the evening.
At the depot the next morning the
leader of our party took a group of
pictures of the workers. Shortly af-
ter all of us boarded train for Paris.
All along the road we saw unmis.
taxable signs of war. Women were
working in the fields, acting as por.
ters at the depots, pushing immense
trucks of luggage and on the train
serving as conductors and walters.
At every station Red Cross nurses
came through the train collecting
funds, and at one place we saw a
train-load of wounded French SOL
diers-a vivid reminder of war.
A little after eight o'clock we ar
rived in Paris, the great city of which
we had heard so much and knew so
little. 1t was dark except for few
street lights. The stiffness which ex-
listed was almost uncanny. Crowds
of people stood about the depot, in
cluding many Y M. C. A. workers.
Immediately an autobus was filled
with members of our party and
driven hurriedly across the River
Rivoli. After we had unloaded our
baggage, which consisted of almost
every kind of luggage and which we
had packed under and over us, we
entered the hotel and Immediately
sat down to dinner. There we were
met by some of the officials of the

HUN PAPERS ROMP
ON MOB VIOLENCE
IN UNITED STATES

THE HAGUE.-For some time the
German press has been laying partie-
ular stress upon the exaggerating
stories intended to give the impress
sion that Germans are being lynched
in America. The same reports are
published. republishcd, quoted and re-
quoted in order to give the impression
that lynching Germans is indulged in
as daily sport in America
The Munich Neueste Nachrichten
says that at the Berne prisoner con-
ference the German representatives
will have the opportunity of bringing
up the question of Praeger, who was
lynched, remarking questions were
asked of the foreign office represen-
tative at the last session of the Reichs-
tag on this case. 1t calls attention to
the cases of Consuls Bopp and Shack
of San Francisco, which, it says,
should be made the subject of an in
terpellation in the Reichstag. The
paper says that the German delegates
should bring up the whole question at
the conference and be able to assure
better, treatment for Germans in
America.
The Kolnische Volkszeitung pub
fishes a long article headed "Presi-
dent Wilson, Judge Lynch, Mister
Mob" The article asserts that form
erly American writer's alleged that the
crime of lynching existed only in the
black belt, but now, the paper de-
clares, lynch law belongs to the ap-
proved rites of culture" in the United
States.
The most horrible scenes of human
bestiality which can be recorded" it
goes on, 'are quite natural for the
Yankee. $ He no longer gets
excited over a lynching and is only
ashaNed when foreigners call atten-

1t is always asserted, the paper pro

people are responsible for the lynch

War is sometimes called a neces-

unnecessary, it is undoubtedly an evil.
Even in the case of an individual it is
often necessary to fight in order to
defend ones self or to retain ones
self-respect. And so too, with ma
tions, it is often necessary to resort
to arms in order that certain princi-
pies be maintained, and that right and
justice may prevail. Thus we see that
it is sometimes absolutely impossible
to avoid war. however much we may
dislike it.
But we started out to discuss
whether or not good can come out of
such an evil. Let us see. The result
