D. C. BOY FINDS
A GOOD GERMAN
Lieut.. J. G. Graham Says
He Was Well Treated
in Prison Camp.
All Germans are not Huns.

All Germans are not Huns,
This is the conviction of Lieut. ].
G. Graham. I522k Twelfth street
northwest who. in an excerpt from
his dairy sent to his parents. relates
exceptional courteous treatment by
certain commanding officer in a
German prison camp"
Confined in the prison camp for
four months. after being wounded in
the second battle OF the Marine. Lieut.
Graham sends home the following
remarkable Salutation made on the
eve of the Americans departure from
the camp by the German command
ant:
"Nov. 26. 191S.-Up at a. m. Break
fast at 4, and the following talk given
by German commandant before leav-
ing Villingen:
Sooner than you expected your
day of liberation has arrived. In a
short time you will be back again
with your own dear friends in Amer
ica and England. Tell them that the
German people have no more griev-
ance against them. 1t does not con-
slider itself conquered, but as con-
quering (as you can see by the troops
coming back from the 'front.', because
IL has. won its own liberty. Now IL is
your turn to give the German people
a Just peace in peace terms which
will give them the liberty to live, just
ly and peaceably with the world at
large and which will leave no hate
to again disturb the peace of the
world.
1--WE all hope that you will reach
your home safely and find everyone In
good health.
"T again request you not to part
from Germany with hatred against
us. and to influence your people TO
look upon Germany not as 1t has been
judged-perhaps justly up TO the pres
ent time. The new Germany has the
desire to live in perfect peace with
its recent thirty enemies, but in the
same manner to live as promised by
Presicent WILSON,"

TALK OF MOVING
PEACE PARLEY
French Attitude May Result
in Changing of Place
of Sittipgs.

Paris, Feb. 1O-There Is a possibility
that the worlds Peace Conference
may be transferred to neutral ground.
The antagonistic attitude taken by
certain officials of the French govern
ment and by a certain section of the
French press has been SO intense and
so menacing to interallied concord
that the question of moving the Peace
Conference to a place where the I'm
dependence of the conference" would
be guaranteed already has been seri-
ously suggested.
1t may, indeed. be stated that repre-
sentatives of three of the govern
ments sitting at the Quai d'Orsay
peace table have been and are seri-
ously discussing this question.
Propaganda by French
Intense propaganda has been car
ried on by certain French newspapers
which admittedly has threatened To
interfere with the freedom of action
on the part of the Peace Conference.
The attitude of certain French OFF,
cials participating in the conference
has been of a more or less obstructive
nature. This is believed due to the
fact that France has been closer to
the horrors and realities of war than
any other allied nation, and that war
conditions actually still prevail. and
that the French people find t perhaps
harder than the people of any other
country to look at the issues of war
and pea}e from an absolutely object
i've point of view.
1t is argued by those who see a
serious menace in these facts that
transferrence of the conference to a
neutral point would obviate these diff
ficulties.

cause Bill Carries No APP
preparation for Building.

The big navy" program urged by
Secretary Daniels and President Will
son. both before and since the latter
went to Europe, and unanimously rec
commended by the House Naval Affairs
Committee. is endangered.
That part of the annual naval bill
providing for construction after July
/, 1922, of ten first-class battleships
and as many scout cruisers. was
striken from the bill on a point of
order made by Republican Leader
Mann in the House this afternoon and
sustained by Representative Jarrett,
of Tennessee, who was in the chair
The point of order was that this part
of the bill Is general legislation pro-
viding for wholly new work. attached
TO a regular appropriation bill, Vio-
lation of the House rules, and, fur
ther, that it is an authorization with
out an appropriation for carrying 1t
into effect.
To meet the emergency, Chairman
Pou, of the Rules Committee, hurried
ly brought In a special rule making
the legislation in order. and called a
meeting of the Rules Committee for
this morning to consider it.
Test Strength Today.
The special rule undoubtedly will be
reported to the House when it meets
today. and the test of strength will
come then. If the special rule goes
through, it will be a decisive victory
for advocates of the big navy pro-
gram and means that it will be
adopted.
Representative Padgett, chairman
of the Naval Affairs Committee,
sought to get around the point of
order raised by Representative Mann,
by amending the section authorizing
the construction of ten battleships to
appropriate $4,000, 600 with which to
begin the work. Representative Mann
quickly raised another point of order,
based on the same premises, and the
chair announced it was of the opinion
that the previous ruling covered the
second point. Representative Padgett
argued that the amendment making
the appropriation removed the ob1ec-
ton against authorization without
appropriation, and that the committee
in drawing the bill had simply fol-
lowed precendent established in the
adoption of naval bills in previous
years.
Representative Miller, of Minnesota.
moved to amend by making the ap-
preparation s210,000,00o, sufficient to
cover the cost of the ten battleships,
estimated to cost $21, 100000 each, and
the question was on this amendment
when the bill was laid aside for the
day.
Reading and adoption of the Sec
tons providing for continuation of
work already undertaken or author
lied, with only a few minor changes,
had been accomplished when Repre-
sentative Mann raised his point of
order.

REVISED LINEUP
NO AID TO CUBS
Pirates Earn Enough to Tie the
Count and Are Donated Enough
to Win, 4 to z.

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 4. - Fred
Mitchell's revised lineup did no
better than the ordinary enc in the
first game of the Pittsburgh series
yesterday. The Pirates earned
enough runs of Phil Douglas to
tie the score and Phil's associates
kicked off as many as the Cubs
scored. AS a result the Pirates
took the contest, 4 to ..
The return of Charlie Hollocher
filled Mitch with some good ideas
as to how to increase the efficiency
Of his machine. He put Lee Magee
in center field and mad him hit
third, while Lee Mann was dropped
to seventh. Magee helped drive in
one run, Will Mann scored the 9TH
er and nothing was gained by the
switch. AS a result of this the
Cubs are only two games ahead of
an even break on the seasons la
Dor.
Wilbur Cooper pitched effective
ly and the Cubs could not CLEAN n
run till the eighth. AT that time
he was four runs ahead and could
afford to take things easy.
The Cubs threatened to commit
much execution in the eighth, fill
ing the bases with none out. How
ever, they gained only one run.
Flack led off with a single and
Hollocher got a base on balls. Ma
gee beat out a slow hit to Terry,
but Merkle forced Magee. This al
lowed Flack to count. Pick and
Deal were helpless and the rally
blew up.
Mann started the ninth with
single to Cooper. They let him
run so he stole second and third.

popped out, but Flack beat a slow
bounder to Cutshaw and Mann
came in. Cutshaw threw the bail

INDIANS LOOK
LIKE DUBS IN
GAME WITH SOx
Gleason Men Score 10 Runs in One
Inning and Final Count Is
Placed ct IL to I.

Cleveland, Ohio, July At was
a shame to waste Claude Williams
on the Cleveland Ir@ans yesterday.
Kid Gleason or George Phair or
somebody could have pitched just
as well as not, and saved Williams
for one of the two games against
Detroit tomorrow, because the Sox
knocked the Indians fat in a rec
ord game, IL to l.
The only danger the Sox expert
enced was darkness. It doesn't
get dark these days until bedtime,
especially with things closed up
tight, but it was the fourth inning
when the Sox staged their record
breaking assault, and, as you all
know, it takes five innings to make
a legal game.
Well, there. was danger during
the fourth inning that Cleveland
wouldn't get three men out before
the moon came up. And If the
game had been called because OF
darkness, all the rampage would
have been for nothing.
1t was an inning that is historic.
Cleveland used four pitchers to get
the side out. The Sox scored 10
runs. Lee Foil, boss of the In
dams, said after the game it was
the first time in his life he'd seen
four pitchers work in one inning.
Well, in this game he probably
would have used FIVE or six had he
been able to warm them up fast
enough.
Really, the Sox could have won
this game about 81 TO 0, judging
from appearances, but after that
fourth, when they got 10 runs, the
only idea was to get hit or get
out. Even the Cleveland players
were hitting the first ball after the
first round with the hope of ending
the farce as soon as possible. The
