Those who fondly hope that the adop

put an end to the rum traffic in this
country forever, should not. forget the
fate of tho fifteenth amendment, which

amendment to that constitution which Is
not backed up by public sentiment is as
| ineffective as a village ordinance under
like conditions. The South pays no at
tention to the suffrage amendment; and
although the federal government has all
the power to enforce it, nothing is ever
done about it. II may be the same with
this latest one-if it is ever adopted

raid OF Nov, BY
Thousands of Sammies over the Amer.
lean zone were left to draw their own
conclusions yesterday on whether or not
the Boches had murdered seven helpless
captives. The matter was called to every
soldiers attention in an official division
bulletin, circulated yesterday. The ar
tcle sets forth these facts;
In the November raid the Boches took
y prisoners.
Later an illustrated German paper
printed photographs OF the first Amer
lcan prisoners, surrounded by a taunting
crowd in Berin-and the photograph
showed only five prisoners.
The bulletin makes no suggestions as
to the fate of the missing seven, but few
officials, are hopeful that they are yet
alive.
A certain famous major general com
menting to the United Press yesterday
on the German atrocities, declared;
The Huns mistreatment of prisoners
is one of the most frightful chapters of
the war The Sammies must be warned
and must be prepared to sell their lives
at the highest price; to fight to death
even in the face OF overwhelming mum
bers."
The traditional good humor of the
American soldiers was transformed into
bitter rage yesterday when the Sammes
read bulletins announcing the German
plans to treat future American prisoners
as persons of no intelligence" and to
place them under unusual hardships.
