KIND TO PRISONERS GUILTY
viii Be Punished for Lack
Of Self-Respect."

Women, even the miraculous Ger
man superwomen, are incorrlgible.
observes a writer In the Literary d.
gest. The German government has
just discovered to Its horror that
Gretchen, In common with all the
daughters Of Eve, Is not insensible
to the charms of a well favored man,
and, II given the opportunity, even
she is disposed to f1irt. The Franken-
furter Zeitung Indignantly writes:
Female inhabitants of houses adj
Jacent to camps of officer prisoners
of war have repeatedly attempted to
enter into communication with the
imprisoned officers, and even throw
them things. Thanks, however, to the
sharp lookout kept by the authorities.
the attempts in each case were frus-
trated. The guilty persons, who be-
long to all classes of society and are
of various ages, were discovered.
while the police authorities have
hitherto considered sharp reprlmands
as sufficient warnings, In the belief
that such unconsidered acts were due
TO foolish desire for sensation, in
future such conduct will be visited
by very severe legal penalties and
public exposure. These penalties will
furthermore be imposed without dis
elimination or all who may render
themselves guilty OF such lack of self-
respect"

 The fate of his nieces. the two 'ountesses RzyszczcwsH, was more terrible than that of the prince. They mad managed to escape by a back way and had reached the market-place of the town. There they were recognized ana soldiers at once seized them. These two youthful countesses whose 7Aqulslte loveliness had made them the center of all eyes in the salons of 'ne palaces of Warsaw, and whose goodness and sweetness had made them beloved by the people of Sla- Fota' were defended for a time by the Catholic priest of Slavuta. who mad known them from childhood and prepared them for first communion. put the soldiers refused to be de- pFlVed of their victims, and showered blows with the butt ends of their rifles on the courageous pries., who fell and was beaten to death. It is perhaps well that the sufferings of the two countesses ended in death.
 The day ended with the soldiers running amok in the town. murdering ana maltreating the peaceful inhab- itants, while the scene was lit up by 'ne flames of the blazing castle of the lSangushko."

AMERICAN EMBASSY HAS
 DIFFICULTY WITH LETTERS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 21.-Americans whoI write letters to friends abroad should take special pains to address the let ters adequately. If an exact address cannot be obtained, and it is neces- Sary for any reason to address the let ter care of the American embassy in London" all possible details TO- garding the person addressed should be given on the face of the envelope for the assistance of the embassy au- thorities.
 There are now lying at the Ameri- ca nembassy here hundreds Of letters wKfh have been addressed casually "cahe American Embassy" and which the embassy officials have no way of delivering. If the senders had even indicated whether the person ad. dressed was in the ermy, the navy, the aviation corps, or the nature of his business in London, there might have been a chance of the letter ind
 Hs ifs way, but without any such par f."Hlars the likelihood of it's reaching Is destination is rather remote.
 ~"op people at home seem to think 'hst the American embassy in London ,s small, compact office where is 1"Df card index of all Americans aWasd AS a matter of fact, the '1erican embassy in London has ex- panded since the war until it occupies half dozen scattered buildings and employs several hundred clerks and secretaries, Americans who call at the embassy usually have business with only one department, and the clerks who have charge of the casual mail are extremely unlikely to hear, their names.

NEW YORK, Jan 2,.-Nothwith standing it's proximity to the scene of the European war, Sweden has just completed the most successful ath- letic season in the history of sport in that country. Under the coaching of Ernie Hjertberg, formerly prominent in American amateur and professional athletics, the Swedish track and field performers have made remarkable strides and will be factors to>be feared in years to come when international track competitions shall have been re- sumed.
 The year 1917 was the most sue cessful in the history of Swedish ath- tetlcs' both from the viewpoint of gen eral interest and of performances. TWenty-two new Swedish records were established, and four of these were at the same time new worlds records. Three of these world record perform ances were the work of John Zander. the phenomenal long g-disUance man, whose defeat of Ted Meredith at 1000
