GERMANS have No
SENSE Of HUMOR
Howl That Allies Are "InhuInan"
in Their Treatment

The Hague, Feb. 14.-After the
ping and foodstuffs during the war,
thus contributing to the present world
shortage, the fact that Germany is
TO be provided with $30.0OO,0OO worth
of fOOdstuffs in exchange for tonnage
has only brought forth expressions Of
ingratitude and outbursts of stormy
indignation at the Allies ''inhuman,
attitude"
For months the world at large has
been informed that only a supply of
food could save Germany from Boil
shevism and internal collapse, thus
hoping to evoke sympathy, but obvi-
ously expecting that no quid pro quo
would be demanded Erzberger. who
accepted the terms with the explana-
ton that they might have been much
worse, has come in for hot fire Of
abuse from the Right and Left press.
Even the moderate dem ocratic
F'rankfurter zeitung demands to
know by what right he disposed of
4he German mercantile fleet, who au
thorzed him to do so, who is respon-
Siblc, and from whom he received
his instructions. This the German
people must. have, says the paper, and
these "inefficient' persons remain in
office to lead Germany to still further
ruin. The question must be brought
up, it declares, at the national as
.sembly.

Zoitung proceeds, land not less raw

start the motor of economic life and
prevent idleness and Bolshevism.

have only begun. We fore
see much worse stress for the flu
ture which the Entente military con-
1ditions will impose on us
The article asserts, like many pre-
vious ones, that Germany laid down
her arms only on the basis of Presi-
dent Wilson's principles, and can de-
mand that they be carried out even

PROHIBITION DAY.

Tt IS now possible 10 foretell the precise day on which
the United States will formally and officially go dry
III is Jan. 27. 1920. precisely one year after the receipt
n the State Department at Washington OF the certificate
of ratification OF the federal prohibition amendment by
the thirty-sixth state.
Some technicality may be discovered that will neces-
state the postponement Of the date. but there can hardly
be a change OF more than q day or two. and in all proba-
bility the date mentioned will stand. It will soon be an

We shall then have another day 10 celebrate. Pre-

AAAA - 49,
H CASE.

There was something extremely pathetic, if not
tragic. in the Greek trial of Mrs. Carrie P. Herndon,
principal OF the Irving school in Hammond. last night
II is pathetic to see a woman of Mrs. Herndon's age and
attachments who has given her life to the education of
the young, after she had spent so many years in prepar-
ing her wonderful mental equipment for her work. con
fronted by such shameful charges. most of which were
evoked. II might be said. out Of thin air. The tragedy
Of school teaching was certainly laid bare. There came
from the grave a voice. that OF a young girl teacher who
had died because OF neglect Of self in pursuit OF her teach
ing duty. Her vicarious testimony held Mrs. Herndon
guiltless OF brutality.
II must have been a triumph for the accused school
mistress to have had so many noble men and women
speak for her Of her brilliant past as an educator viva
voce and By letter. Her life, Il may be truly said. has
been one long sacrifice for the young. She gave her very
heart and blood to the children she served and no one
could hear her talk without being powerfully impressed
with her loyalty to her profession and her sincerity in
her work.
Mrs Herndon's one mistake Is her belief in the eff
cacy OF the strap as a corrective. 1t is wrong TO rule by
fear. The little girl whom she whipped until there were
black and blue marks on her leg was punished solely be-
cause she would not talk. 1t is not always possible for
a child 70 talk when ordered to do so. That is not a fault
calling for the rod. We know Of course that educators
will take issue with US. but we do not believe that any
person has any right to lay hands on any child not their
own. II parents cannot control their children al home
they had better keep them out of school.
The accused principal has OF course outlived her use
tulneSs in Hammond. and therein is the pity Of it for she
has given the best years of her life in the district she
taught and the results she has obtained there have been
remarkable. It is TO be hoped that the faithful work she
has done in that troubled district will bring about closer
cooperation between parent and teacher. Teaching
school is a hard. wearing life. 1t consumes energy and
vitality. 1t can dull the sharpest intellect. sour the
sweetest disposition and hang a burden of care on the
most cheerful nature, il there is not the proper co-opera-
ton between the two agencies. parent and child We
exact a good deal OF the school teacher and we certainly
ought to give her as much as Ee take, if not more

THE BRITISH ON THE SEA.

The difference between Great Brtains control OF
the sea and Germanys army on land is that nobody had
any reason to be afraid OF the former. The British fleet
is for defensive purposes only. Great Britain is an is
land, and would have small chance of defence by an
army if an enemy invaded her, She must have a great
feet as her only sure protection. She has one, but never
has she used il. as Germany would have used it. to
strangle the trade Of other nations. The seas are free
to trade as if Great Rritain's navy were the size OF vene.
zuela's.
This is why Germany's conception Of the freedom
OF the seas" in time of peace was always without a grain
or foundation. Al for war. Britain has used her fleet as
fairly and l~egitimately as in time of peace. Her navy Is
unstained by any Of the atrocities that made the worlds
blood run cold during the short life OF the German navy.
Without it We could not have won this war. and despite
the temptation 10 retaliate the British navy conducted
its share Of the war as impeccably as if il had been
fighting an honorable foe. The British feet is a protec-
ton 10 the worlds trade in time of peace, and a bulwark
against assasstns in time of war, II is a friend to the
trader, but a terror to the pirate, as Germany nov knows.
