WHY JAIL HIM. ANYWAY?

Ludwig Dittmar has escaped from jau--and four
governments are ready 70 send troops to put him

nations demanded that some few war criminals"
be tried.
Judged by the standards of war. he a brave
man. for he risSed his life upon a and untred
machine whose hazards unknown and
which anything might be expected.
Judged by the standards Of peace. he was about

United States that they were ready to throw up
their hands in panic. he probably would have been
promoted some overlordship OF conquered terri
tory.
The same people who would have arplauded his
prowess a day Of victory knew that was neces-
sary to sacrifice him. but they did not lose their
sneaking admiration for his ruthlessness or a more
open conviction of their hypocrisy, so his
cape from Jail was made easy.
1t happens that he escapes on the day that the
nations which conquered and which demanded his
punishment, make public their plans for removing

notable that in the insstence of France backed

The best that has been done is agree not to use

Why Jail Dittmar the youthful lieutenant who
dubbed with devotion to his fatherland and permit
the kaiser TO end his days in luxurious exile?
Why jail this lieutenant who summarized a hos

There is a lot Of hypocrisy in the world. The
hunt for escaped Dittmar smacks loudly of it,

credit for the legislation passed for the benefit Of
farmers
In his speeches. he calls attention TO the bill for
bidding trading in future on grain markets to the

eminent, TO the extension Of broader credits
through the Farm Loan banks.
As matter Of ract. every one of these measures
forced by the agricultural bloc in congress
which had behind it the political support Of the
party Of opposition.
Every one Of these laws was passed against the
protest Of the group which counts on New for
vote whenever needed.
Every one Of these laws was forced by threats Of
breaking up the republican party
These very laws al demanded and passed by the
farmers group. led to a denunciauon by Prest

Tumbling merrily from the press.
Billions of volumes, more or less;
Everybody has seized a pen,
Plumbers, butchers and grocery

BARRIERS manicures spill the ink
To tell the universe what they think.
And so they come in a steady flow,
There's none too naughty and none

To write a volume, indite a work
The writing bacillus appears to Turk

the mammoth affair, which promises
to be the most pretentious of Its

now that the food show has closed,
trucks will begin unloading scenic
hall into a veritable fairyland.
Big Support Promised.

to bring the 1928 convention to
Washington, and with it some 100000
visitors.
Mr.. Mullane said last night that

The main floor will be divided so
that there will be something to catch
the eye from the minute a visitor
enters until he leaves.
There are approximately 5000
Shriners in the District, and last
night Illustrious Potentate l.. P.
Steuart said that he would leave no
stone unturned until he was assured
that large delegations from all the
Almas units in the city had sfgnif1ed
their intention of attending the Cali
fornia convention.
