THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
WHAT TT REALLY, MEANS
BY JOSIAH f. REED.

has insisted on more than another it
is the self-determination of peoples
no government without the consent
of the governed. Yet Italy wishes to
have part of Jugo- Slavia, France the
west bank of the Rhine and Armenia,
while England wants control not only
of the German colonies in Africa but
of Arabia, Palestine. syria and Meso-
notamia. Even Belgium ie asking for
Luxembourg and part of Holland.
England'S demands are in some
cases not unreasonable. 1t is con-
ceivable that some of the territories
in question would like to be under
British jurisdiction. But instead of
appealing to them to see what they
want, she is appealing to the Peace
Conference to see IL she can get con-
/ troll without consulting them at all
AS for the demands of the other
! countries, nobody would have the
hardwood to maintain that the peo-
pies in question were being consult
ed in the least. Armenia has come out
latfooted against being put under a
| French protectorate. she wants to
he Independent and is entitled to in
dependence. The Jugo-Slavs have no
love for the Italians. Certainly the
Dutch don't want to be ruled by Bel
gians Anybody might suppose that
France would have learned lesson
/ from Alsace- Lorraine. Instead of
that she wants to take revenge by
stealing some of Germany. In her
blind anxiety to be safe. she is max
ing another war with Germany inevi-
table.
This is the situation with respect
to one general principle; the self-de-
termination of peoples. But it's the
same all the way through. What
ever the attitude of the peoples them
selves may be. certainly the govern
ments of Europe have not accepted

THE CASE OF WIRX.

Since the demand has become gem
eral for the punishment of the Ger
mans responsible for the cruelty to
prisoners, as well as for punishment
of those responsible for the horrors
perpetrated on the civilian popula-
tons OF France and Belgium, there
has been renewed discussion of the
trial and execution of Captain Wirz
the German-Swiss officer in command
of Andersonville prison during the
civil war.
Claims have been made from the
southern states that Wirz was unjustly
executed Judge \. p Chapman, of
the California court of appeals, who
acted as judge advocate of the mill
tary court that tried Wirz, has written
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1919-01-21

a letter TO the New York Times throw
ing light on that matter.
Let it be noted that General Lew
Wallace. author of Ben Hur and one
time territorial governor of New Mex
leo, was the presiding officer at the
trial
Judge Chapman says
THE evidence on which Wirz was
convicted came not only from the lips
of the surviving union prisoners. but
from the lips OF rebel soldiers and
officers on duty ut Andersonville and
from official reports made by officers
who reported the facts to the rebel
secretary of war.
There were 1911 deaths at the
prison during the year of its occupa-
ton. For the four months of June,
July August and September, 1854,
$3.50 We're buried in the trenches out
side the stockholm average of 2,l47
per month, or a daily death roll of
over 10.
Surgeon Bates, one of the physi-
clans i'm attendance at the prison pen
and hospital, was a witness, and testi-
fled at great length to the conditions
existing at the prison and the treat
ment given the prisoners. His opinion
was asked as to the deaths occurring
which resulted from the conditions he
had described. He answered: Il feel
myself safe in saving that 70 per cent
of those who died might have been
saved had those unfortunate men been
properly cared for as to food. cloth
ing, bedding, etc The prison was an
Irt,, I
into which thousands of our soldiers
were crowded and left without shelter
from heat and cold, and, MS was re-
ported officially by Colonel Chandler,
inspector general of the rebel army,
so densely packed that there was
scarcely room for all to lie down at
the same time. The evidence was
conclusive that the prisoners were de-
liberately starved to death, and in n
region where supplies were available
and abundant. General Sherman sub
sisted his army on that country in his
march to the sea-
The atrocities committed at Ander-
ton in the south as well as in the
north, and southerners willingly gave
the major part of the evidence upon
which Wirz was convicted.
The effort of Wir2. who spoke Eng
fish brokenly was to fasten the guilt
on the confederate secretary of war,
but no evidence was produced. or ever
has been produced, to show that the
crueltes had other instIgation than
in Virus own evil heart.
But what WirZ did was human
compared with the atrocities inflicted
by Germans on British, French and
Russian prisoners.

in dealing with of finance and reve-

Des Moines. July 2s.-Ten billions OF
dollars!
That is approximately the value OF
Iowa's farm lands on the open mar
ket today. according to conclusions
drawn from figures prepared from
township assessors tax valuation re-
ports for the entire state, by the state
treasurer's office.
The treasurer's report shows total
assessed valuation of farm lands OF
SO, 197,164,030. And this is upon an
average valuation per acre OF 1885,
whereas Iowa farms now are moving
in unprecedented volume at from 5000
to $500 an acre.
The per-acre valuation which the
assessors have placed is certainly not
more than one-third Of the market
value of Iowa farm land. And thrice
the total shown by the assessors Is
just about ten billions Of dollars.
Since taxes are paid on one-fourth
of the assessed valuation, the average
taxes paid on Iowa land by the Iowa
farmer this year will be fraction less
than two cents an acre-1.73 cents to
be exact-on every mill Of tax levied.
Interesting figures for Analyst.

hundred millions OF farm crops every
year to pay 6 per cent interest on tho
