TO STAMP OUT FRAl D
Military and Postal Officials
Planning Campaign.
SwindIers Seek to Rob Relatives of
Soldiers Through False kilograms
and Letters.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Military and
postal officials are planning vigorous
campaign against swindlers who are
again seeking to defraud relatives of
soldiers through false letters and tele-
grams.
Complaints from relatives, it was
learned, are again reaching the depart
ment showing that rehabilitation has
given a better opportunity for such
criminal operations.
The usual practice is for the swind-
Ter to obtain the names of relatives
Of soldier from the published cas-
ualty lists. A telegram signed in the
soldiers name is sent saying he is
free to come home on furlough if his
relatives will wire money for the
trip and in filing the message the
sender valves Identification and asks
his relatives to do the same. Some
times relatives are asked to send the
money to the soldier, care of general

A GERMANS TRUTHFUL
STATEMENT.

This is interesting not so much b.
cause it is true, as because it is trut
from a German. 1t is Macmillan Hal
len, who says in his paper:
We had fifty-one months of dom
ination in Belgium accompanied
by the theft of raw materials, ma
chinery and merchandise of all
sorts and of $75O,O0O,0O0 in mon
ey, currency and bank notes, with
the violation of individual rights,
forced labor, deportations and
even at the last moment with pill
lage and destruction of towns.
Then there has been the devas-
tation of Northern France, with
the deliberate destruction of ca
Z thedrals, monuments, factories
and fruit trees; also air lombard
ments, such as are contrary to
the usages of war, and the tor
pedoing of passenger steamers
and hospital ships.
The list of our deeds comprises
also secret compacts with the
Irish and the Flemings, the in
PRODUCTION Of disease bacilli by
means of shells. On all sides there
has been corruption, fraud, theft,
the open or secret violation of all
rights, while entire fields have
been soaked with blood, as in the
case of the Armenians.
With all that we have been de-
feated. Can we wonder that not
one voice is raised in favor of
Germany?

"There was realization, immediate
and intense, that in all recent weeks
he has been fighting against great
odds and in the presence of real OBJ

LEARN FROM THE EAST.
Fer People Can Teach Those Of tn
West Things Worth Having.

Lucian, In the Rochester Post.Expr.ss.
Should we aim at Occidenta1ixing
the Orient? I think not.
Our unrest, our discomfort, our
practical estimate Of human rela-
tions which, when analysed. proves
to be mere worldiness, our measure
msnt Of nearly everything in terms
Of money would not elevate. but, on
the contrary, demorAli4e the dreaming
east. Did not the arrogant Romans
in an earlier day glory In their mar
tial triumphs and feast luxuriously
after their victories crowned with
flowers and Indifferent to the suf-
ferings Of their conquered victims?
But how did the east view this dis
pride? Matthew Arnold gives the
answer.
The breeding East with ave beheld
Her impous younger world;
The Roman tempest swelted and Bwel1ed,
And on her head was hurled.
The East bowed low before the blast
In patient deep disdsin;
She let the legions thunder past,
And plunged in thought again. -
Today the western world exults In
Its mechanical inventions Is the Ro-
mans did in their conQuests. Even II
Germany no longer menaces western
civilization. is that civilization sacro-
sanct?
We call ourselves Christians. But
do we follow Christ? Can we really
worship God while we pay homage to
Mammon? Under our mask of ex-
ternal propriety we hide moral rotten
ness.
Faith in the east is q reality. In
the west 1t is a profession. The pa
thence Of q Chinese commands the
admiration Of q world in which there
il an incessant rush for the spoil"
a conflict between the looters which
is ferocious and ruthless. and a lack
Of all mutually and Of all charity
whenever personal interests are at
stake. The Japanese love their coun-
try with q single-mindedness which
few other nations can comprehend
The Hindus in their religious sincere
ty are a model for the western pur-
suers of sanctity.
Even Islam with it's stern monothe-
ism has in it something that politi-
cal chicanery cannot enfeeble or de-
stroy.
We can teach the east only mechan-
zeal or intellectual efficiency. But
she can teach us that life without
spirituality IL sort Of moral death.
And this is a lesson we Occidentals
sorely need to learn. for most Of us
are rank materialists.

The Courage to Experiment.

From the Engineering and Mining Journal.
Throughout the whole fabric of f1u-
man life and endeavor is woven the
thread of chance. Great social and
economic investments are merely ex-
extent on chance for their success or
failure. But. though chance may WELD
so potent an influence, the primary
need for initiative must not be over
looked. For Initiative leads to expert
mentation, and experimentation to
achievement. And achievement seldom
comes by chance.
Experiments are often termed fall
ures in that they indicate the imprAc.
ticability of certain line Of action.
They are. however, almost invariably
successful in eliminating from CEN
sideration the less essential proposals.
and reactions in certain INSTANCES
with accuracy. but in many cases it
is impossible. The problem resolves
itself into one of preliminary expert
mentation, carried out on a large or
small scale, as circumstances dictate.
Small-scale experiments are, relative
ly considered. cheaply performed: they
can often be conducted to give results
that may be duplicated to a nicely on
a large scale. but they are not always
applicable. Large-scale experiments
involve heavy expenses. and 1t often
requires courage to institute them.
The war has broadened the outlook,
and unheard-of sums have been spent
in the encouragement Of local produc-
ton. Some experiments resulted in
failure, but the success Of the remain
der has justified the expense tenfold-
1t has proved that the resources were
there and that 1t was just question
Of developing q latent asset with suf-
fcient capital and courage.
