Private Dally by The Ah ghing: Slow to Believe the Ill That You Read HE passions of war, at best, produce many cruelties. But we advise our readers to be slow to believe a tenth of the charges and counter-charges that have been or be made of atrocities in the war's wake. Not all who make these charges are wilful slanderers, their vision is disturbed. : ‘ _ A little while ago, for example, we were reading. daily re- ts of how brutally German officials and soldiers were iting American tourists caught in the war tide. But it turns out that not only were these tales false, but that the reverse was true—practically every American return- ig from Germany tells of the exceptional courtesy and kind- with which Americans were treated there. Except for the few days at the war's beginning, when sry German official had his hands full with getting the pops started, the consideration shown for Americans in Ger-| ny was not only all that we could ask, but actually went} ond what might reasonably have been expected. The con-| it between the first reports and the confirmed truth has de a very warm feeling in this country for the German pple. ~ So now, when we read tales of alleged German brutalism the wake of the army’s march, we accept them—NOT. Since it is chiefly of the Germans that these atrocity tales “are now being told, we needn't speak of the other armies ex-| cept to suggest equal caution in believing ill. | War is bad enough at best; so bad that it doesn't need lies or distortions to condemn it. N urging the defeat of the Lafe Hamilton ring at the primaries Tuesday, The Star is guided by non-partisan ives entirely. < The republicans can do their party no greater service to get rid of the gang politicians, such as Bill Gay prosecutor, Bill Sickles for county clerk, etc. + From a political standpoint, it would be to the interest of the republicans to defeat the Hamilton ring and nominate men whose records are not so putrid. ' From the county’s standpoint, it would be the most wholesome thing that has happened for years. _ _ It would mean saving $20,000 a year in the office con- trolled for years by the Sickles family; it would mean a man in the secutor’s office who would not give comfort and aid to Hamilton duplicity and dubious practices. It’s time for the republicans to clean house. Get rid of the Hamilton Outfit and get rid of “God Hates a Coward” Humphrey. ah the only way the G. O. P. can hope to regain confi- ce. Good Sport Cheated HE minor results of the war that give disappointment are the necessary postponement of the air flight across the Atlantic and the yacht race for the America’s cup. The for- mer hae more than the latter, because of its novelty. , t is a very sporty idea, this promised attempt to see if mn can fly across the ocean. It appeals intensely to the Spirit of adventure and offers a spectacular test of mechanism in a daring new field of endeavor. ; But who knows what surprises in air flight the war itself may bring out? Quite early in the progress of aviation the human imagination conceived the chance that earth’s bravest Battles would one day be fought in the clouds. : And now that war is bringing this speculation to the who can guess what surprises may be in store? you vote, don’t forget that vat at gg < on ne of be reactionary members of the supreme int.

It seems strange that the very men| who should show chivalry and pro- tection to women and children are the ones who sometimes place au- thority above kindness and consid- eration. It does me good to note the part} | The The Star is taking on behalf of the side that is the weaker and op- pressed, The doctrine of universal love to- ward the neighbor is never more needed than now.

ABOUT NORTH YAKIMA Editor The Star: I am writing relative to the fake advertisements for men in North Yakima and the rest of the county. There are two men to every tree here, and two and three men to every hop vine. Anybody com- ing here that what I say is true, Men are pouring into North Yak- ima from all parts of the United States. There is no work and the railroads are making all the money. J.
