On Political Prisoners.

~ tHe Iuitor' Inc washington Herald.
Kindly permit me to express my
opinion of Justice through your VAL
liable columns regarding the men
now serving sentence for their ex-
preston OF opinion and interfering
with the draft during out nations
participation in the last war, and
the appeal now being made for
their pardon.
1t is a very dangerous piece OF
business for any person to throw
bolts into the machinery of war
when nation Is involved in such,
as an offender seldom escapes pun
lshment in some manner.
Most OF the offenders. to my
knowledge, were interfering with
the draft. though none of them
were guilty of stealing from. or
selling their country for a price.
either during times OF peace or
war. And any person who is guilty
OF such in time of war a long term
of imprisonment or the penalty OF
death would be a just punishment.
depending on the case and circum-
stances.
AS one. / have but little sympath thy
for person who would steal from
their country in time or war, or
sell their country for price.
though the former has been done
by persons while the nation was in
volved in the last war. and was
done under the cloak of patriotism.
If any of the offenders have been
guilty of either of these crimes
against our country when II was
in distress. Involved in war" then
they riEhtfully and justly deserve
the punishment they are undergo
ing, but the government should
make some provisions to relieve the
hardships of their families.
None of the offenders have been
guilty of a crime against our coun-
try nearly so great as some of
those who were responsible for the
release Of Grover BerSdoll. and al
lowed him to go to Germany.

Opinions of Men.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
1t makes me mad to read of what
some men expect of woman. Just
because she is progressive, they
think she is immoral. For instance,
this man, F. B. A. seems to think
that to walk in F street, to look
smart and up-to-date. to try and
make up to look healthy and pleas
ant, q refer to a little rouge on
the face) instead of looking be-
draggled and pale, means that one
is not deserving of respect. II we
all did things and dressed in the
same manner as our grandparents,
I'm afraid there wouldn't be much
progress. 1t may have been very
nice for that mans mother to wear
prim and sedate clothes, but one
mans preference doesn't make
moral laws. 1t may surprise him
to know that some of these F street
flappers, despite their bright faces
and clothes. are being just as well
looked after and are just as nice as
his mother was at their age.
think morals" are a matter of
mind and not of clothes. Some of
the primmest looking people, who
do not frequent the primrose Path
of F street. are sometimes the least
moral when a man is disrespect-
full to a woman because her clothes
or appearance doesn't suit him, he
is certainly no gentleman. and
should look into his own morals
before condemning others. To be
chivalrous to only those who meet
with ones outward approval is not
true "chivalry" under one definition
or another

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:

10 the EDITOR, Inc "tsnlntton hernio.
Sir,-Amid all the stage manage
ment which operated to obscure
vital matters demanding settlement
at Genoa. It is refreshing that a
true note should have been struck
in the treaty understanding be-
tween Germany and Russia. which
may help the peoples of both those
great countries on their road to
restoration. I sincerely hope that
this arrangement may not be inter
fered with. It should help to put
an end to the irritating claim for
political dominance on the part of
the Allies and the Supreme Council.
This claim is wrong in itself. and
has delayed the spirit of peace and
settlement, so essential to the
whole future of European society.
