This may not reflect a clean bill of morality on the part of those fleeced, but there are laws to take care of such depart- ures from the narrow path without providing an averiue in which the pro- fessional blackmatlers ean work. For that reason changes in the Mann act are sought, but if they are made they should not be such as to interfere with the original purposes of the act.

MONTENEGRO AND ITALY. There have been confilcting reports as to what Montenegro is going to do now that tho Austrians have captured Mount Lovcen which was relied upon for the defense of Cettinfe. From one side it is declared that they intend to arrange a separate peace with Aus- tria_already having declared a truce, while from the other comes a denial of any such thing, Under the cir- cumstances fighting as they are against such overwhelming odds and without any relief being sent to them it would not be surprising if they had thrown up their hands except that sich is not characteristic of those people. Theéy are not accustomed to defeat or given to showing the white feather because of a severe reverse, and for that reason the declaration that' is made that they will continue to fight until the last man falls has the real Montenesrin ring. = ‘What Italy is going to do under the circumstances holds the attention of all the belligefents as well as those on the side lines. It has disclosed dilatory tactics by not having pre- vipusly sent such assistance to these people that it would have prevented the much opposed extension of Aus- trian control along the Adriatic. The blow which has fallen upon the Mon- tenegrins while serious is likewise of grave importance to Italy and it finds itself in the position of being required to hustle at the eleventh hour to over- come a much more serious menace than has previously existed. At the same time it will be required to use greater efforts than were called for had thelr response been made some months ago. Italy today has undoubt- edly awakened to the danger of pro- crastination. ) IVE CARRANZA A CHANCE. the talk that is being heard the sending of the ermy of country into Mexico imme- tely because of the murder of mw of Americans shows 3 of sane consideration of situation.

It must be remembered that It- aly's are heavily engaged with the As ans in the north, and, juds- ing from the slow progress they have mude, they can il afford to withdraw men for a Balkan campaign. They maust consider that such a move would bring about engagements with Ger- man troops and eventually would start 2 war between the German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy, and that such a war, even though meaning the seizure and confiscation of all German ships in Itallan ports, would mean the seizure and confiscation of all Italian German ports, and the con- fiscation by the German government of King Victor Emmanuel’s heavy in- vestments in Krupp, which would practically bankrupt the House of Savoy. It must also be considered that the Teutonic allles are possessed with tremendous strength at present in the Balkans, and should the Italians su in making a landing at Duraz- 20, there can be little doubt but that the Teutons would sweep into Albania and should the entente allies attempt to sally from Saloniki at such a time, they must remember that thé Turkish and Bulgarian watchdogs are still on the Grecian frontier. It is popular opinion that the ob- Ject of the Balkan campaign is the capture of Buez, but that no one knows. If Suez falls into the hands of the Teutons, it would mean a se- rious loss to England and to her al- lies, but there has been no guarantee given ds to whether or not the Egyp- tian campaign is not going to be a gi- gantic bluff. English military experts tells us capture of Suez is an {mpos- sibility, and laugh at the idea of a force attempting to fake it. They point out that it would take so many thousands automobiles to transport so many thusand men across the desert in Asfa to bring them to the Egyptian frontier. We must realize, however, that the other side makes its calcula- tions also, which was plainly shown on Gallipoli, which the world now knows was the t failure and most costly expedition of the war. The English forces lost almost 115,000 men there, (and the French losses ) besides several battleships from the largest fleet ever assembled for an attack upon the Dar- danelles.

When the Austro-Germans started their conquest of Serbls, it was silent warning to and Roumania to “Stay Neutral” and when Bulgaria entefed the war, it changed the complete situation in the Balkans—it linked together the Teu- ton and the Turk. This war has shown the countries of Burope that Turkey can now take her place among them as a military | power, and that the Ottoman Empire has ‘come back.” With a miilion men or more under arms, she has proved to the Teutons that she is no mean ally, and her position on the map, enables her to keep the handcuffs on the Rus- sian giant at the Bosphorous. Those who scoffed at her milifary strength when she joined the Dual Alllance ad- mit_that she has surprised the world by her terrible defeat to the allies on Gallipoli. The parts that she is yet to play in the European struggle will prove that she must still be recognized as the most powerful country of the Balkans. It will be small credit to the Triple Entente and their allies if they cannot inflict a crushing defeat on the Cen- tral Powers and their allies, but they | will ‘find that they have the biggest job on their hands that history has ever known. EARLE M. WOOD Taftville, Conn., Jan. 14.. 1916. Stories of the War German Prisoners at Dorchester. For the second time within one hundred and fifty years German sol- diers are occupying the historic old horse artillery barracks at Dorches- ter, England, but while the first? oo- cupants, an Hanoverian regiment, came welcomed as a guard of honor for King George 1, the fortunes of war have made the present occuplers the enforced guests of the British gov- ernment. Another striking ‘instance of the whirligig of history was the discovery by the German prisoners, while excavating roads for an addition to their camp, of the bones of French prisoners who died in the barracks during the Napoleonia wars. Over three thousand German pris- oners, now occupy the camp, and ad- ditional huts are being built for more. The old barracks are inadequate to house all of the prisoners and streets of huts extending over both slopes of a little valley form a small town for their accommodation. The whole camp is surrounded by a wooden and wire tence inside of which barb wire en- tanglements form a barrier dominated Dby sentry boxes from which a squad of guards armed with rifies overlook every possible avente of escape. These sentries are the only visible evidence of human restraint for except a few commissioned officers assisted by four sergeants and a émall squad or cross orderlies there is not a single British soldier inside the compound. For the first time since German war prisoners have been brought to BEng- land unofficial neutrals were allowed to inspect one of their camps and an Associated Press correspondént was personaily conducted over the place by the commandant, Major W. Bulkeley, D. O., who not only al- lowed him to see everything in she place but permitted him to-talk freely in_private with the prisoners. The visit was made under the worst possible weather conditions, a heavy cold rain having flooded the lowlands near Dorchester. The camp, located on sloping hillsides, escaped the ac- tual floods, but the mud of the un- paved streets was deep and sticky. The prizoners, pald two pence an hour for such work, were busy dige! paved drainage ditches which wil soon make progress about the place much more comfortable. Several. of the huts were leaking, but the occu- pants, who do not care to be sepa- rated’ from their units, preferred to await their repair rather than move into other huts in the new portion of the camp. Many of the prisoners occupy the old artillery barracks, a long row of brick bulldings with stables on the sround and quarters for the men above. The stables, well warmed by sheet iron stoves, form primitive but comfortable quarters, while the rooms above, each equipped with from two to four bunks, are the Wiznor's.
