GLAD COLONIES ARE FREED
Native Chiefs In Former German Pos.
sessions Hope They Will Remain
Under British Rule.

London.-German cruelty exercised
toward the natives Of her former col
onies Is outlined in the statements of
native chiefs in the Samoan islands,
the Kameruns, Togoland, Southwest
Africa, and East Africa, in white
book published by the colonial Office.
The statements show that the natives
everywhere hope to remain under Brit
ish rule.
In Q few ceses the chiefs said they
were afraid to say anything st their
land be restored to the Germans, who
had threatened them with what they
would do when the war was over. This
fear, however, failed to prevent vir-
tually unanimous appeal for retention
Of the British flag. .,+a
The horrors Of the German rule In
Southwest Africa, the white book says,
already are too well known to require
repetition. but the same system Of
tyranny was found in other German
colonies in q greater or less degree.
The burden running through all the
statements Of the natives Of Togoland
and the Kameruns is ''flogging, dog
gins, logging" especially In connec-
ton with forced labor on plantations.

Horsemen Knew Their Business.


The value of having practical horse
men in charge of remount camps is
shown In provisions made for shelter.
When It came to building the great
depots required at each of the camps
they ordered open sheds instead of
barns-or for the severe northern cli-
mate, sheds closed on one side. To
the city-bred humanitarian who saw
thousands of Uncle Sans horses and
mules standing out in the cold, this
seemed cruel, and complaint was en-
tered. But by practical test Il was
shown that the horsemen were .riRht.
Those animals which were housed mn
did not thrive as well as the ones
which were kept in the open. When
talking with the head Of the remount
division the thing he was most proud
Of was the fact that our horses were
kept In better condition with fewer
losses. than the horses Of England or
France, and that we did this with q
much smaller man force, largely be-
cause we give them open-air treat
nlent.

Mr.. Congressman, Can You Live
On s. a Day?
BY EARL GOODWIN.

JOHN NOLAN Congressman from California, asks
that the Government establish for itself minimum wage
of three dollars day.
That is not much to ask but by passing his bin Con
gess will wipe out one Of the most dsgaceful wage stu

them TWO DOLLARS day.
would like to see any in Congress live in Wash
ington for two dollars day.
It cost 81 $50 to keep wife and three children Just on
the very edge of proper food and clothing in this city in
1916 according to careful inquiry by the Department Of
Laborand the cost of living in many items has DOUBLED
since that time.
to keep its employees ALIVE 1t doesn't ask for money for
imported table water such the United States Senators
buy for themselves of public funds does it cone
plate anything much better than trip to movie show at
the extreme.
There are thousands of Government employees who are
receiving less than three dollars day. which is almost
SUBSTARVATION wage, at that There are families Try
ing to exist less than three dollars day who haven't
had clothes In seven years, according to testimony
before the Congressional committees.
This Government has right to create jobs for
with responsibility and then appropriate for compensation
less money than costs to live by the most economical
management
Government that can spend two hundred thousand
dollars for rejecting pool for the Lincoln Memorial
afford to pay its watchmen and charwomen ENOUGH to
live
The rejecting pool will be work of art something to
be talked of by visitors from all over the world.
Also there is something else to be talked Of and that

Dispensing With An Introduction.
To start a stamp boom in this
column, it is only necessary to say
something about "picked-up ac-
quaintances." The other day q
young "war worker" wrote letter,
on this much discussed theme, that
has evoked one notable reply.
It gives the bald, cynical point
Of view Of a young man out for a
good time. His letter is a valu-
able document for those girls who
would have their cake and eat it,
too. 1t refers to the experiences
of a girl who accepted a motor
ride from a stranger and, resent
ing his behavior, was compelled to
get out Of the car and walk back
the six miles to Washington.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Good, The only regret is that it
was not sixteen miles instead Of six.
A dose like that would discourage
these spongers who are looking for
anything and everything free. Their
standard of morality is to get all
the free dinners, free theaters, free
rides, and free flowers they can and
to soueaI about morality and the
duties Of gentlemen when there Is
a suggestion Of their doing some
thing in return. without meaning
TO be vindictive. nevertheless the
hope cannot be depressed that more
Of these commercial Vamps Will get
stung well and often in their own
coin.
Mark Twain is accredited with
saving humorously, "Be good and
you'll be lonesome" But one feels
justified in surmising that any but
the most hardened type OF girl
would prefer loneliness than COM
panionship with a man who owns
TO the above point of view.
IL She Had q Thousand Tongues.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
note with interest your advice
against chance acquaintance. II l
had a thousand tongues and could
voice them all, /, too, would say to
both men and women: Beware
Of chance acqusintances." hap
pen to know the case OF a beauti-
full girl who had talent for paint
ing and music. She met man in
an unconventional way and married
him after a short courtShip. Later
she learned he had a wife and chill
dren. Too proud to return home
disgraced. she became q companion
to an invalid woman. Thoroughly
bumbIed, she felt too unworthy for
the best, so again she married a
man who has made her life unbear-
able. You see, the first wrong step
led to lifelong mistakes and sor-
row not only for herself, but her
family who loved her. The man or
woman who considers himself or
herself so cheap that any one may
call them friend must expect cheap
treatment. Stick to the people you
know and hrst learn something

II Is very evident that the Utilities
Commission had one pulled over on
them when they granted the z-eent
transfer privilege. At the conIeEehSe
between that body and the railway OF
6cisIs A. is easily seen that the rail-
vyay, company did not mention, and the
TTtiIitIes Commission overlooked, the
Tact that a free transfer for a con-
+inuous ride in the same dlrectlon on
ita own line would be demanded ~
the public at points where the moIEe
nower Is changed and where certain
cars end their runs and are sent oaCA

TortI, Canitol above V street IL you

" street and wish to ride above the
nit or TO Brooklyn you are MADE 10
purchase a transfer at 2 cents sool-
tional but. If you wait for BFook
land car il costs the regular rare OF
5 cents. II you get on an n sIreet car
with a transfer to North CapltoI street
purchased at cents addltlonaI you
MAJ take a " street car and you are
furnished on request 18th a free
transfer from the pit northward. II
This free transfer is furnished on
transfer for a continuous ride, why
"a not one furnished for a continuous
ride for a nickel?
1t is very evident that in all fairness
the Utilities Commission did not IN
tend this point and others ike them
n he used or known as transfer
noint as transfer points are recognized
in changing from one line to another.
THE ides that il should make diner
ence of . cents in price in what car
YOU should ride on on North Capitol
street is simply ridiculous. 1t is an
other way of getting at least part
of the company's first demand OF Z
cants for suburban travel 1t is also
another phase Of the zone system also
proposed by the company.
On Saturday, June IA, at los D. m.
car No. 1882, marked "BroOkland,' was
about to leave the pit at V street. 1t
was followed closely by another
Brookland car. In the hearing of all
the passengers in the front car the in
spector told the conductor TO run to
Fourth street and Michigan avenue
and wait for the car behind and then
