Coblenz are being we'll treated by the
Huns, who are friendly, while a few
days ago another press representative
stated that "the inhabitants are sui

that, as we have contended upon other
occasions, there are liars and camou-
f1agers among the newspaper CORE

people place little or no confidence in
newspaper correspondents stories

why not discontinue the publication of

Major Curtis, formerly chief Of staff
to Adjutant General Khinow, charged
at a meeting Of state adjutants general
in st. Paul that conspiracy exists
among regular army officers to wipe
the national guard out Of existence.
The regular army" he said, mot
openly but as snakes in the grass, is
opposed to a continuation Of the ma
tional guard" and advised vigorous
campaign to save the organization.
He added: on officers must fight,
and fight hard, or in six months the
national guard win be thing Of the
past" For some reason or other the
regular army officers have for a long
time antagonized the national guard,
and it is high time that these pompous,
strutting ROSTERS had their wings
clipped. ~

Lloyd George, the British prime
minister, has given out some interest
ing figures as to Germany's indebted
ness to the allies. He places the total
at $12O, 000, 100000, Of which Great
Britain's bill is $4,000, 100000. TAX
ing everything into consideration the
allies demand seems to be very mod
est. Before the war, says the pre-
mier, Germany'5 estimated wealth was
between SIS ,000, 100000 and 500, OOO-
100000, so that if the whole Of this
wealth were taken there would not be
sufficient to liquidate the Indebtedness.
In consideration Of this condition,
Lloyd George said, he had advised that
Germany shall pay to the utmost
limit Of her capacity" This is, in
deed, fair recommendation, and the
allies will doubtless see that the Huns
nose is kept to the grindstone until
the utmost limit of capacity is
reached

to. While it is true that we will have
to assist our allies by placing them on

Colonel Harvey in War Weekly:
The proposal to feed the Huns is
doubtless humane. We should not
care to have them starve to death. It
is true that in 1901 the Germans
deliberately imposed starvation upon
the French and killed many in that
way. When Frenchmen begged Bis
marck to relax the rigors of war lit
tie so that babies might be saved
from starvation he refused, roaring
with a Gargantuan grin, Babies?
Donnerwetter! I thought you had
eaten them ALI" But then we are not
Huns. So we should not object to
letting benevolent Americans feed the
Germans AFTER we have made sure
that nobody in Belgium or France or
Serbia or Russia, or any other civil
lied country is hungry

Following the departure Of Presi-
dent Wilson for France Mr.. McAdoo
sprung q proposition to test out gov
eminent ownership Of railroads for a
period of five years and declared that
the scheme had Mr.. Wilson's approval.
In the face of this the president, in
his address to congress, in substance
said that he had nothing to offer re-
garding the railroad question, but left
it entirely in the hands Of the two
houses to thresh out and decide. Had
he approved the McAdoo scheme it is
not reasonable to believe that he would
have withheld it from congress. To
say the least the two statements are
highly contradictory.
