LETTER SAYS BELHMANN
OPPOSED SUB WARFARE
Hindenburg Epistle Printed in Ber-
lin Shows Writer Took Full
Responsibility.

BERLIN, August 13 (by the Associ-
ated Press).-A letter from Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg to Prince
Macmillan of Baden German chan
cellor at the time Of the signing Of
the armistice), concerning the begin
ming Of submarine warfare, printed
here today, seeks to show that Dr.
Won Bethmann Hollweg, who was the
chancellor at that time,. had little
confidence in President Wilson's peace
Intervention and that the U-boat war
fare directly crossed efforts then go
ing on to bring about peace.
DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg, Won
Hindenburg says, objected to the sub
marine warfare on the ground that it
would imperil Germany's relations
with the neutrals and Won Hinden-
burg replied that the supreme army
whether the U-boat warfare should
be conducted or not and that he, Won
Hindenburg, would proceed in full
feeling of responsibility for a VIC
torious outcome of the war, regard
less Of the chancellor's opinions.
The letter mentions the numerous
protests of the then German ambas-
sador to the United States. Count Won
Bernstorff, against the submarine
warfare as likely to bring the United
States into the war. 1t refers to Ger
many's refusal of President Wilson as
an intermediary in any peace and
says that Won Bernstorf's warning
that>a breach with America was in
evitable was ,disregarded. After fail
ing i'd his efforts to persuade the
German authorities from inaugurat-
ing the submarine warfare, the letter
declares, Won Bernstorn attempted to

|U.S.-RUN NROADSROBBED
OF MILLIONS IN GOODS
$40, ,OO0, 900 Worth of Merchandise
Stolen From Cars in Transit
or on Sidings.

A total approximating about $780,
600. 900 worth of merchandise has been
stolen from freight cars in transit and
on sidings since the United States
assumed control of the railroads, 1t
was learned yesterday. This huge sum,
representing goods and merchandise
for which the railroads assumed re-
sponsibility when they undertook to
ship them, must be made up to the
shippers and consignees. 5l-
Largest losses in freight from rail-
road cars have been in and around
New York city. officials Of the secret

bands of car thieves whose machina-
tions are carried on by systematic
process are operating. The goods
stolen include everything from 1000

atives are hand in hand with the
thieves.
Buffalo ranks next to New York as
the point whsre large freight losses
from thievery originate. During the
year ended June 80. 1918. about $6.-
OO0, 600 worth Of freight was stolen in
and about the Buffalo. terminals.
About the same amount has been
missed from terminals In and near
Chicago, ana LOT tHe SdAic pclto
Pittsburgh's terminal losses were
50, 500, 600 Offhand estimates from
the railroad administration for the
last fiscal year fix the loss at about
$40, 900. 900 on all the roads in the
country.
Before the railroads were taken
over by the government. the roads
furnished their own detectives and
secret service men. A short time
after the government assumed con-
trol w. G. McAdoo. then Director
general, created the secret service de-
partment and appointed William J.
FLYNN at its head. Shortly after an out
break of bomb plots. when Flynn lelt
the railroad administration to work
with the Department of Justice, d.
rector General Hines appointed Rob-
ert s. Mitchell as chief Of the secret
service department. Mr.. Mitchell was
formerly head Of the secret service
department of the Missouri Pacific.
Agents Of the I. w. w. are, in many
cases, held responsible by railroad
men for the thefts. Washington has
suffered from freight losses. but not
as great in proportion to population
as other eastern cities.

FIX BLAME FOR ITALIAN.
1917 RETREAT TO PAVE
Commissioners Report Four Gen
erals and Military Causes Re
sponsible for Disaster.

ROME, August 14.-Gen. Cadorna, the
Italian commander-in-chief in October,
1917, and Gems. Porro. Capello and
Cavaciocchi were mainly responsible for
the disaster to the Italian army at
Caporetto which resulted in the retreat
to the Piave, according to the official
report Of the commission Of inquiry
made public today. The defeat Of the
Italians when the Austro- German army
broke through their line is attributed
by the commission chiefly to military
causes, including depression Of morale
and an entire lack Of reserves.
The report Of the commission admits
that socialist and clerical propaganda
played its part in lessening the morale
of the Italian soldiers.

IMPROVING MILITARY COURTS

1t is a cause for general satisfac-
ton that Secretary Baker before he
went abroad directed Col. Ansell te
prepare a bill enlbodying the reforms
advocated by him in the administra-
ton of military justice.
The reports of this officer, who act
ed as Judge Advocate General dur
ing the war revealing the injustice
and inhumanity of many courts-mar-
tial decisions, thoroughly aroused the
public, and Mr.. Baker is but meeting
demand when he allows the inves-
tigation to SO ahead and lends his
authority to proposed reforms.
Military justice must of necessity be
rigid. Discipline must be such as to
insure obedience. No one, however,
can fail to believe that even military
justice should be tempered with
mercy and some appreciation of in
dividual rights and extenuating cir

REAL THRIFT. :

The government through its cam.
paign to encourage popular savings
in Thrift and War Savings Stamps
has brought the word thrift" into
commoner usage than ever. One
hears. it. on every hand. Yet how
many people Tho use it realize that
thrift is preliminary process and en-
trely. distinct from saving?
The thrifty person is not the one
who puts twenty-five cents into a
thrift stamp which should be put into
pair -of new. shoe laces, or five dol
lars into ". S. s. which should be
set aside that week for meat.
Thrift only paves the way for saw
ing It considers: carefully present
needs and future ;. possibilities and
decides what are necessary expenses,
setting aside such a portion Of the in
come as Will provide for them. It also
determines what are. unnecessary ex-
penses, and stops the outgo Of money
for them.
That is notz thrift which neglects
either process, nor can there be any
security in savings when seither is
neglected. The essential item of ex-
penditure, temporarily ignored, viii
have to be met finally, probably by
taking from the savings what should
never have been put there The un-
necessary expenditure oft repeated
means no savings at all.
Thrift holds tie scale between the
two, and upon the nicely with which

sitimate. expenditure and waste will
depend present. comfort and future
