WHITE BREAD FOR
MEN AT RUHLEBEN
Parcels From Home Keep In
termed Prisoners Supplied
With Good Food.
BY BASsETT DIGBY..
Especial Correspondence of The Even
Ing Star and Chicago Daily News.)


STOCKHOLM. Sweden. June g.
Since Ambassador Gerard left Berlin
the veil shadowing Ruhleben inten-
ment camp near Aix-la-Chapelle has
rarely been drawn aside. I have now
succeeded in procuring some details
of how things are going with the
camp.
English prisoners have dealt with
them Enthusiastically. A ,tannery
has been started, with the. official
sanction of the German commandant,
and the rat skins are properly pre-
pared and made into large quantities
of purses and card cases. Inquiry
among some local restaurant pro-
on the destination of the rats when
skinned. There is certainly no need
for them in camp, as parcels from
home are keeping the men well sup
piled with good food. The plumpness
and plentifulness of the Ruhleben
sparrows are byword in Berlin.

Living Conditions Improve.
Housing and heating conditions
used to be notoriously bad at Ruhle-
ben. but in the winter of 1918
were improved. though not by any
means perfected. There has been con-
siderable partitioning off of the sleep
ing barracks into cubicles, so that
small groups of men have more pri-
vacy. Even the negro barracks have
been cubicled. Heating conditions
have been improved by bringing into
camp some locomotives and using
them to generate steam.

Senatorial friendships.

To the Editor of The Star:
Henry Cabot Lodge, in his STORY
Of the Revolution" published Just
about the close Of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war. records the letter of An
thony Wayne. written from the death
bed of Nathaniel Green, the oft-test-
ed, but ever faithful friend Of Wash
ington. II have seen a great and a
good man die; great as a soldier,
great as a citizen, immaculate as
friend"
The late Benjamin R. Tillman, SEN
ator from the state OF South Carolina,
left as dying request that his eu-
logy be pronounced by his friend. the
Cabot Lodge.
So here again ends on earth one
more of those historic friendships Of
the American Senate. friendships be-
tween senators of the north and SEN
ators of the south. friendships be-
posing schools of political thought
and action. Many such friendships
have f1owered to full beauty through
| out the 120 years of this forum of
Americas best and greatest. The
| friendship forged and held with links
of steel between Thurman of Ohio and
Edmunds of Vermont as alike that of
Conkling of New York and Lamar of
Mississippi remain yet fragrant MEM
ories.
Each decade finds reincarnated
within the Senate the ancient friend
ship Of David and Jonathan growing
| anew at the tap root of the supreme
love on earth-the love of man and
man.
In legislative battle. in days now
passed forever. the heavy battle-
ak of the southron of Carolina oft
sparked its metal against the slender
rapier of the Puritan of Massachu-
setts, but the Americanism in both
men ever proved bridge strong and
wide enough to carry safely over,
while beneath the waters Of their
friendship. sweetly minyling. flowed
calmly on their way.
The senator from Massachusetts, has
had during his busy life Of politics
and letters many tributes paid him;
none can he hold higher than that his
political foe fallen deal at his post of
duty. ever a hater and fighter of social
shams, political hypocrisies and re-
ligious cants, fighting always open
and above board, an out and out man.
should leave his exact and correct
appraisement among men to be re-
corded and the work book of his life
closed forever by his friend. Henry
The alchemy Of friendship gives
one to see behind the veil the better
and the nobler man. to see the real

thurs knightly sword Excalibur has

WHAT A SHAME

When the colored citizens Of Seattle or
ganized Colored Council of Defense to ex-
clusively look after the entertainment Of
colored soldiers a more flagrant case of seq
regation was never set on foot and it's an
absolute disgrace.
While a committee Of colored citizens is
in Camp Lewis combating the efforts to seq
regate the whie and black soldiers, other
colored citizens in Seattle are segreating
not only the colored soldiers but likewise
themselves, all Of which is so despicable
that to be hated it needs but to be seen.
Every colored person who voted for the
organizing Of a separate council for defense
should be drummed out Of the city. If the
officers Of Camp Lewis do not fling the ac-
tions Of the colored citizens Of Seattle into
the face Of the committee and say to them
charity begins at home, we will be surpris-
ed if there yer was need Of am ass melting
in Seattle to denounce the actions of self
constituted few, now is the time and the or
ganizers of that Colored Council of Defense
handled without gloves. The colored man
who resents the segregation Of the white
man. but almost with the same breath does
so himself, is hypocrite and is not worthy
Of being called citizen Of this Republic.

THEY ARE GONE

while the mills Of the Gods grind very slow
yet they grind exceedingly fine. Within the
past month a quartet of Americas most
dangerous, bleatant mouthed bovines have
reached the end of their rows and are now
"where the wood bine twineth." Benja-
min Tillman, the fre-eating human pitch
fork, is doing the sleep that knoweth no
waking, and we thank God for small favors.
James K. Vardeman, the Mississippi musk
rat, has been run into his hole and had to
pull his hole in after him to save his bacon :;
Cole Blease, the South Carolina blather-
skite has second time been beaten for
seat in the United States Senate, which must
be the end of his political career w d.
Haywood the Big, clustering Bill, that
should have been hanged for the death Of
Gov. Stunnenberg of Idaho, some twenty
odd years ago. has finally got his and now
faces a twenty year prison term and in ad-
dition a fine Of $4,000, all Of which will
result in life Imprisonment for this man of
blood and bones.
It may be long long lane to Tiperary,
but, "believe me" if you just pound away,

HAWTHORN RAW STATEMENT

In discussing the after-War situation in la
Dor circles COL j. M. Hawthorne, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress from the Se-
attle-Kitsap district, is quoted as having
made the following statement:
Hawthorne said he would use every ef-
fort, If elected, toward smoothing over after
the war problems which might bring chaos
to the country if not attended to.
lin some jobs, it will not be possible to
have two men do one days work." he said.
''In that case, we would have employees
work alternate weeks. l can see the posi-
bility Of $4,000 men for 10000 jobs in Se-
attle, and the only way to deal with such a
situation is halftime work for all.''
Nothing short of a dangerous political
demagogue would 60 on record as favoring
legislation to this effect. He is simply
trucking for the support of organized labor
and will make any kind of unreasonable
promise to camoufage them into giving him
their votes, with the hope oef backing and
filling when once in Congress to Justify
himself. When the war is over there will
be greater need for farmers and farm
hands than now or any time in the life time
OF those soldiers and instead of putting in
half time in the city work shops they can
go to the country and put in full time For
ten years after the war the United States
will have to be the store house of the world
and it will be more profitable to raise hog
and hominy in the country than to raise hell
IN cities and towns. Provide homes for the
returned soldiers in the rural districts and
encourage them to help get the world back
to normal condition from a food stand
point and humanity will be benefited to a
much greater extent than over crowding the
cities IN quest of four hour per day Jobs.
But this political camoufaging seems to be
characteristic Of the southern Democrat. In
the south he goes to Congress on the pre-
text OF preventing ''nigger dominancy'' and
IN the north he goes to Congress on the
pretext OF protecting the working man.
Some time ago we made the statement that
1t would be burning disgrace for Seattle
to ever again elect Southern Democrat to
Congress and since we have read the above
statement of Col. Hawthorne we are doubly
certain of it,

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take glass Of Salts if your Back hurts
or Bladder bothers you Drink
more water.

II you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full Of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush of the
body's urinous waste get four ounces Of
dad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful ia glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts Is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, ard has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,

bladder weakness.
