WAR CRIMINALS.

1t must be plain to everybody that
the German courts will not mete out
adequate punishment to those German
army officers who were accused of
brutal and unwarranted methods dur
ing the world war; A score or more
officers have been tried, ranging in
rank from major general down to SER
geant. There have been only two or
three convictions, and in these cases
only nominal sentences have been inn
posed.
Coming at this time, when the
world has been wanting to believe
that Germany would act in good faith
in carrying out the peace terms, this
is more than ever unfortunate. 1t will
delay for longer period the feeling
of forgiveness if one of forgetfulness
is SO badly needed.

The Inflated ZR-2 was scheduled to
attempt to break the transoceanic
record of the R-34, the only lighter
than air craft ever to fly across the
ocean. The two aircraft were similar
in many ways.
The R-34 started from East For
tune, Scotland, on July l, 1919, and
landed at Roosevelt Meld, Mineola,
Long Island, on the morning of July
6, covering the 5000 miles in 108
hours and IL minutes. She left New
York on the return trip to Scotland
on July and reached her home port
few days later. On January 20,
1921, this craft, which had cost more
than $1,O00,000 to build, was cut al
most in two by a violent wind and
left wreck outside her airdrome
near Edinburgh.
1t is recalled that despite elaborate
arrangements two years ago, the men
of the R-34 passed through harrow
ing hours when the leviathan of the
clouds ran into shallow atmospheric
depression off the coast Of Newfound-
land. They were then within few
hundred miles of their goal.
"The weather was terrible" said
Major G. H. Cooke, the navigating Of

Hull, Eng, Aug. 24-Seventeen Of
Ulcers and men of the United States
navy and 27 officers and men of the
British navy met death in the collapse
of the dirigible, ZR-2, over the city
of Hull.
Every one of the Americans on
board the Inflated craft persisted, as
far as could be ascertained.
The following are the names of the
Americans who were killed:

which constitutes the most terrible of
its kind in peace times.
While flying about 1000 feet over
Hull, spectators saw the ZR-2 seem
ingly buckle anidships and plunge
downward over the city and into the
Humber river. One theory of the
cause of the disaster is that while the
ships rudders were being tested the
craft took a sharp turn, which caused
her framework to buckle, and thai
the explosion of gasoline tank com
pleted the tragedy of the air. The &C.

some days that the ZR-2 was struc

"There are scores of different kinds
of courage in this world, and you
can't expect one man to have them
all. A man may tremble and cringe
when threatened with physical vio-

magnificent when the assessor comes

than that sort of moral courage
"There used to be a blacksmith in
this town who had a wide reputation
as fire eater. He wasn't afraid of
anything people said. If he heard of
a promising bruiser anywhere in the
countryside, he couldn't rest until he
had mixed things with him. And he
didn't ask for purses or other induce
ments. He engaged in combat just
because he loved it, and was happiest
when his nose was knocked to one
side, and his eyes were bunged up so
that he couldn't see whether he was
going or coming He acted the hero on
several occasions, rescuing people from

bought about million things at the

minutes by going to the dentists, but
that idea turned him faint. At last he
had to go, and the dentist told me he
never saw such doggone coward.
That invincible blacksmith just had to
be lifted into the operating chair and
