Stories of the War Striking Tribute From the French. ‘The correspondent of the ‘Petit Journal” in London pays a striking tribute to the effort mow being made by_the British, and concludes thus: British Government is reform- have given excellent results. Labor reorganized in a few weeks, is making night and day with feverish haste mu- nitions and still more munitions.

Let us be convinced that alone the alliance een France and Great Britain, growing ever closer, will suffice to give us victory, and, what is perhaps more atmecuit, will enable us to profit by that victory. German Prisoners Are Treated Well.

From one point of view it looks liks a callous scramble for dead men’s shoes and, no doubt, it is, In some cases. But, on the other hand, many of the clamorers probably need work and meed it badly. The company turned all applicants away rather brusquely, declaring that there were no jobs—and that was probably true at the moment.

Do not be alarmed for the freedom of the press. The government is not likely to interfere with the rabid pro- German press even when it borders on treasonable talk. For the present at least public opinion can deal 'with them.

No threats were made against the 2,000 maniacs who pledged themseives to “stand to- gether” if worst came to worst be- tween the United States and Germany, but they were given plainiy to under- stand that Utica people had no use for them and their sentiments and that their presence and their talk were not agreeable.
