GERMAN OFFICIALS TO BE PUNISHED ' FOR BARBARISM

rnv Associated Pr LONDON, December 6. German offlclals guilty of acts which resulted in Injury or danger to British prisoners of war Rchould be held personally responsible, Lord Robert Cecil, former assistant secretary of state for foreign affairs, says. Thia statement was made in a message relative to the attitude of the government on the subject of treatment of prisoners, which has ben generally, discussed since the signing of the armistice. Lord Robert says: "If we are satisfied that any of our soldiers or civilian fellow subjects have ben ill treated in such a way as to injure their health or endanger their lives we should make it perfectly clear that we will personally hold the officials responsible for the ill treatment, and if necessary, try him for his life. This should be done, be he the kaiser or any subordinates. "We cannot make it too ciear that the ill treatment of prisoners is not like occurences in battle, committed in hot blood or ignorance. It is deliberate, cold-blooded cruelty and ought to be punished if there is any relic ot Justice left in the world."

Over 5,000 Enemy Aliens Were Interned in U. S. During War

By Associated Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. The declsion of the war department that the bodies of American soldiers who lost their lives in France should remain buried in that country until after the end of the war was reached in agreement-with the government of France. This is disclosed in the annual report of Major General Harris,1 adjutant general, made public today. "Under articles agreed upon by the United States and the French governments," General Harris says, "the remains of all soldiers who die in France are to He buried in France until the termination of the war." It was because of this agreement the report says, that relatives are informed of the place of burial of soldiers in France whenever this information is obtainable. The statistics on the army given in the report throw little light on the present organization as they are of date of last June 30. Among items of interest presented, however, is the fact that the adoption of the finger print identification system for the service not only served to identify 33 of the men lost with the Tuscania who would otherwise have been buried among the unknown dead; but also enabled the department to sift out 548 leases of fraudulent enlistment. The report shows also that a total of 5,037 enemy aliens were in custody as prisoners of war or under internment in this country. Of these 1,411 were prisoners of war. Including the eYews of German auxiliary war craft seized at the outbreak of the war. No prisoners taken by the army in France have been brought to the United States. During the period covered by the ! report, eleven prisoners died, 14 ini , Heart Problems Dear Mrs. Thompson: Will you please suggest something nice to give a boy friend for a Christmas present? I want to give about eight or ten dollars for it. I should not have said "a friend," for h Is more to me than lust a friend. I love him dearly and he has told me several tmes that he loves me. To know that he is a civilian will perhaps aid you in your suggestions. DOT. You have to know a man's habits and what he already posseses in order to make a good selection jn a present for him. A fountain pen, smoking or writing outfit, bill folder, picture or box of cigars might be acceptable. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I havp been going with b boy for over a year. In all that time I have never heard or seen anything bad about him. 1 think a great deal of him and I th'nk he does of me. I have another boy friend over in France. Tie is a very nice boy and he seems like a brother to m. They are both fine boys. If ! the other one comes home from France what shall I do with both? I love the one I have gone with for a year and a half. AMERICAN BEAUTY. Go with both of the boys. Since you are not engaged, neither has an entire claim upon you. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been married a little over a year and have a little baby. I love my husband dearly and until a week ago I thought he loved me. My sister, who lives in another town, was taken sick and I had to go to take care of her. She got well sooner than we expecteu ana I I thought I would surprise my husi band by going home without telling i him I. was coming. ! Before I went away we made plans ! for him to cook his own dinners at nieht, and when I got home I found ' a lot of dirty dishes in the sink, which ; made me think he had been doing as I we arranged. I went to the store and bought things for a very fine dinner ! that nieht. It was ready at the usual I t i in-, but my husband did not come j home. Then I waited until twelve ! o'clock, and finally gave up expecting Ihitn and , went to bed because he did i not show up. ! At three in the morning he came in I and he had been drinking. I made i him tell me where he had been and j he confessed that he had gone to a poker party at a friend's house. I I don't know what to do. It worries me j all 1he time now to think that my I husband would not be true to me when j I was awav. To my knowledge he has never done a thing like this when j I was home. Do you think he still I loves me? I can never trust him en tirely again. FLORENCE. Your husband's offence is slight in comparison with the surprises some husbands give their wives. He does love you if he is faithful to you when you are at home. Probably he was lonely without you and accepted the invitation to play poker more for a diversion than because he likes the game. Do not make a big matter out of this. Continue to trust your husband and entirely forget this little occurrence. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl twenty years old. I have been going with a man three years my senior since I was sixteen. He gives me every attention when he is at home and sends me candy and flowers when away, hut he has never told me that he loves me. I go with other boys sometimes, but he .never seems jealous. He goes on and makes a date next time and never says a word about my going with someone else. I love him, but it seems he will never speak of love. He is in France and cabled me that he arrived safely. He does that way all the time. I thought that he would tell me before he sailed, but he did not. Do you think that he loves me and will tell me sometime? Everybody thinks that we are engaged or secretly married. I blush when anyone asks me about him and as he is so attentive and goes with no other girl I can see whv people think as they do. What shail I do? BLUSHING MARY. Just be patient and wait. Both of you are very young to marry, and the man probably realizes this. If the money he spends so lavishly comes from his father, that is reason enough for him not to marry. He may be waiting until he is in a position to support a wife before he asks you to marry him.

terned aliens ware paroled by the department of justice and 13 escaped, of them two were drowned. In all there were 29 escapes but 16 were recaptured. "All guarantees contemplated by international law as to humane treatment, freedom in exercise of religious beliefs, full opportunity for education, proper healthful recreation and amusement and other privileges looking toward comfort, well being and betterment of prisoners are, it is believed, being conscientiously observed," General Harris says.

INFLUENZA "STOLE" MILLIONS IN UNITED STATES NEW YORK. Dec. 6 The Spanish influenza epidemic which swept this country during the autumn "stole" millions of the best years of life from American manhood and womanhood, Henry Moir, an insurance authority of this city declared here today. The average economic loss of active life in each case of death from the malady or its aftermath was at least 25 years, said Mr. Moir, emphasizing the peculiarity of the epidemic, which found most of its victims under 30 years of age, as compared with the average life of 55 and 60 years of persons insured in well established companies. Addressing the Association of Life Insurance presidents, Mr. Moir, who is president of the Acturial Society of America, described how the epidemic had dislocated the standard mortality experience of the insurance companies in the past 15 years. With no pestilence taking toll of lives in the United States and Canada during that period, he said, the standards of health i of persons under 50 were found to be much better than at any recorded time I in the past. But the influenza epij demic, causing 86,828 deaths in 44 large cities in eight weeks, or an avI erage of four of every 1.000 of the population, he added, had brought a new element into the situation. Investi gation of claims before several large insurance companies, he declared, showed that 13 per cent of the deaths were due to influenza and 87 to pneumonia following influenza, while less than 2 per cent were persons over 55 years, as against 80 per cent under 40 and 60 per cent under 35. From these figures, the actuary said, it was apparent that the age of maximum virulence of the epidemic had been under 30, taking the young and vigorous "those whom we expected to undertake much of the world's work." Mr. Moir warned the public that there is no assurance that the danger is past. "We learn," he said, "that influenza is now revisiting Europe and this time there are indications that it may be more objectionable than the milder form of midsummer. We should therefore take warning from this recurrence and observe watchful care to prevent further infection, since the disease has distinctly decreased and seems to be dying out in this country." Seattle Shipyards to Build Armored Cruisers (By Associated Press) SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. fi-Ths nn. J nouncement that the Todd Dry Dock j and Construction Company of Seattle I would shortly begin construction of three armored cruisers for the United States navy, was made here today by William H.

SOMERVILLE ILL WITH INFLUENZA AT VLADIVOSTOK

"It will be terrible if we do not have enough clothing or food for the poor old men, the distracted women, and shivering children this winter," wrote Thomas E., Jones, head of the educational and refugee departments of the Y. M. C. A. In Vladivostok to his wife in Japan, recently. Mrs. Jones has sent on to the American Friend headquarters in this city notes from a numbers of letters from her husband, who ws a missionary in Japan before entering Y. M. C. A. work In Siberia. Mrs. Jones is residing with her father, Prof. Lloyd Balderston of the University of Sapporo, in Sapporo, Japan, at present. Mr. and Mrs. Jones visited in Richmond soon after their marriage a year ago. Continuing he says: "From South Africa to Siberia, and around the world westward from Tokyo to San Francisco the influenza rages. As far as I have heard it seems to be everywhere. Out of 290 cases we had here in the Vladivostok one half of them were influenza. J. J. Somerville, former secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Richmond has been ill with it. "Just a word about the general situation here. Things go along about as well as In any European city, with the exception of the electric cars, and they are crowded beyond description. There is plenty of food and clothing so far, but the prices are impossible for poor peole. Then too, various things I have ordered to be shipped in can not be had here at all. My order consisted of door locks, photo films, writing pads, etc. .The population here is a perfect jumble of nationalities. It apoears most worse than New York. The moral conditions are j fierce. Much needs our sympathy here, I j assure you. The soldier's, the povertyi stricken refugees, and the civilians all come in on the sympathy part. Paper Mill Strikers Ordered Back to Work (By Associated Press GLENS FALLS, N. Y., Dec. 6 Shortly after the strike of 15,000 union employes of newspaper mills in New York and New England went into effect this morning, J. T.

Soldiers' Beneficiaries Need Not Be Dependents (By Associated Prsssi WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Beneficiaries of deceased soldiers are not required to show that they were dependent on the soldier as a condition for the collection of government insurance on his death, Secretary McAdoo said today, explaining that there is current a misunderstanding on this question. The misapprehension doubtless is due to confusion with compensation regulations which are independent of Insurance provisions, he said. Commercial Club to Take Action on South Side Bridge Pres. Howard A. Dill of the Commercial club was authorized to appoint a committee of three to confer with the members of the South Side Improvement association in regard to the south side bridge, at the meeting of Ihe board of trustees of the club at the Y.

Secretary Carl LTllman reported on the National Secretaries' convention, which he recently atended, laying especial emphasis upon the reconstruction and the industrial development work brought up there.

French War Posters Are Now on Exhibit Here French War Posters used in' France in thrift loans are on display at the Second National Bank. They were sent to Dudley Elmer by E. G. Crawford, who was formerly a paying teller ot the Second National bank, and who is now in Y. M. C. A. work in France. The posters are five in number and are similar to those used In Liberty Loan campaigns. The faces of the people in the posters seem to portray more the horrors of war than do American posters. They have not the finished art of some of our posters, but they make one feel strongly the need of giving. They may be seen on the west wall of the entrance of the bank.

Fugitives frorii Russia who have reached here say that living conditions in Petrograd are terrible. The famine there, they say, defies the imagination. Flour is selling for 50 rubles and butter and sugar for 150 rubles per kilogram (2.2 pounds). Herrings are the only food obtainable and sell for five rubles each. All middle class elements are excluded from public eating houses and are dying of starvation by thousands. Hundreds are buried each day between 6 and 9 o'clock in the morning, no funerals being permitted later during the day. Of a normal population of two millions, only a half million persons are left in Petrograd. The city looks deserted. Half of all the flats are occupied by red guards and their families. Hotels, restaurants, cafes and offices are closed. The houses of the middle classes pre deserted, their furniture has been stolen and the windows have been smashed. Many widely known persons have been shot or have starved to death recently, umors of apprcaching entente intervention have increased Bolshevistic hatred and resulted in frenzied persecution of the middle class elements There is great nervousness in the neutral legations. The Polish legation has been looted while the Swiss legation has been entered forcibly. The personnel of this legation has left Petrograd.

MONEY MAKING WAS PROFITABLE FOR U. S. LAST YEAR (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. The money

making business was highly profitable for the government in the last year. The annual report of Raymond T. Baker, director of the mint, made publie today shows that the seigniorage was $20,538,000 on $43,596,000 worth of coins minted during the year ending June 30. This means that the actual value of the silver, nickel and bronze made into coins was $20,538,000 less than the face value at which they were issued. The year's work stimulated by war to such an extent that the three mints were kept busy 24 hours a day, brought a new record for production. More than 714,000,000 csins were manufactured as compared with 406,000,000 the year before, a high record at that time. The greatest demand was for one cent pieces, of which 445,000,000 were minted. Next the country needed new dimes and 116,000,00 of these were made; 82,723.000 nickels; 45,223,000 quarters and 24,105,000 halfdollars were turned out. No gold was minted. War currency demands in India and ether countries also imposed on the mints the burden of melting down great piles of silver dollars for export as bullion.
