VAALS, Holland. April 12. If one
watches closely the Ions lines of
weary, footsore prisoners belnpr
marched into or out of French and
Russian towns one sees many a bitter
token of "the fortunes of war" those
grim, ironic touches that imbue with
a singular fascination the shifting
papreantry of victory and defeat.
The voice of the past seems audibly
1 3 bo mocking the present and new
feuds to be making a Jest of ancient
friendships when you see German sol
diers with "Belle alliance" (Waterloo)
on their caps marching a column of
Knglish prisoners down the station
platform of a Belgian town Charle
roi, for example which Just a century
ago caught the echo of the artillery
fire at Waterloo. Those guards were
drawn from a regiment whose most
glorious inheritance is their Waterloo
memory.
Germnn Tempted Into Satire.
Once the strange jumble of contrasts
and ironies which war creates offered
an IrrestUble temptation to a droll and
satirical officer who, in civil life is
the widely-known Dr. Lieven of
Aachen.
One night he had to go from com
na i-t mnrt t to pomttartment of a train
filled with prisoners. One first-class
carriage contained British officers,
smong them officers of the Gordon
Highlanders.
Now. everybody knows what the
Gordon Highlanders did at Waterloo.
There is, as the London papers are so
fond of saying, "no more glorious page
in British annals." It was the Ninety
second then may still be for aught I
know and was more frequently
spokon of in those times by the nu
merals than as "the Gordon Highland
ers." Dr. Lieven speak excellent English
and with the tetrring inflection one
Boon acquires in London. He swung
open the door of tho compartment in
which the officers of the Highlanders
sat, and, civilly saluting, said: "How
many, gentlemen?"
There was an instant of surly silence
and then ungracious utterance of the
words:
"Thirteen officers of the Gordon
Highlanders."
"Any wounded?"
"No" still curtly.
The doctor was angry. He knows
as welt as anybody the Highlanders"
uuatre uras ana waienoo recora
two days' fighting with a loss in
Kiuea ana wounaea or one coionei,
on Major, six Captains, 14 Lieuten
ants, six enslsna. 13 sersreants and so
on. lie looked straight into the eyes
of the surly spokesman of the High
landers and said:
"Thirteen officers of the Gordon
Highlanders and none wounded.
Thnnlt you!" ,
The last two words with the upward
London tilt and on those words the
doctor slammed the door.
"I shouldn't have said It," he re
marked to me, "but their stupid su
perciliousness to a man whose only
wish was to help them was more than
I could let pass."
Germany Prlnon re Exceed Million.
The number of prisoners of war in
Germany today exceeds 1,000.000. In
March alone over 54.000 were taken.
Yesterday the Austrians gathered in
7300 Russians In tne Carpathians, but
the number was not sufficient to
arouse jubilant comment in Germany.
The feeding of these hundreds of
thousands of adults must be an enor
mous burden for an Umpire that is
urging upon even the children the
rounsel that not to waste is truly to
serve tho fatherland in its time of
trouble.
Thinking of that. I asked a German
officer why Germany had made no
advance In the matter of a general
exchange of prisoners. He winked
cheerfully and said. "It is not worth
while."
A million prisoners and the number
ever growing, undoubtedly are going
to prove no negligible factor when the
warring powers begin to discuss terms
of peace.
Only certain prisoners of the Mo
hammedan faith have been released, so
the gossip runs, and they have been
tent hack to the Kast on the strength
of their plea to be allowed to join the
Turkish army.
The most dramatic as well as the
most unexpected individual capture
made by the Germans was the capture
of the Governor of Warsaw, who rode
serenely to his fate in an automobile
with footmen in livery and proclaimed
himself as - excellenz when he rose
from the back seat and handed his
revolver over to a Prussian Lieutenant
of dragoons.

ROAD SECRETLY INSPECTED
Chief Kngineer Goes Over Eugene
Coos Bay Line Unaccompanied.
Kl'OE.NB, Or., May 2. (Special.)
William Hood, chief engineer of the
Southern Pacific, has just spent a week
on tho Kugene-Coos Bay line, unknown
to the engineer in charge of the Wil
lamette Pacific construction , or with
any other of the local officials.
He followed the right of way south
from Vapleton to Mari.hfleld, and walked
must of the distance.
"1 Imd a good trip," he said today,
"but there is really nothing new to
toll."
pursued according to this year's pro
gramme of two battleships, with cer
tain auxiliaries, no scout cruisers and
no battle cruisers, will lead nowhere if
it is the real purpose of the Nation to
have an adequate navy, for we are not
even following a programme of new
construction intended to replace those
vessels which have been or will soon
be condemned because unfit for service
on account of age.
"While, as the Secretary has stated,
the Navy is today recruited to its maxi
mum strength (which is due to the de
creased demand for labor in various
lines of trade throughout the United
States), yet the commander-in-chief of
the fleet, in a communication to the
Naval Academy, gives the opinion that
the fleet lacks in its complete equip
ment about 5000 men and a number of
officers.
1S.O0O Additional Men Needed.
To put all the ships in commission
that could be useful In time of war
would require 18,000 additional men and
many officers, according to Admiral
Badger in his evidence before the Naval
committee this winter; ana yet In nis
letter the Secretary assures the public
that the Navy in 1915 is larger, better
equipped and in better condition than
in any previous year, while experts
know that this is impossible, since
many of the battleships have been re
tained so long in Mexico that fleet
maneuvering, vital for efficiency, has
been terribly hampered and interfered
with.
"The naval conflicts of the European
war have emphasized the importance
of speed, range and armament. The
Blucher. faster than any of our ships,
was destroyed because she was slower
than any of the other ships in the
conflict. Yet we are building no fast
cruisers or battle cruisers. The secre
tary. In his enthusiasm over our 14
inch guns, which he says will shoot
farther, shoot straighter and hit harder
than any naval gun now in use, over
looks the fact that Japan has in com
mission and building eight naval
ships with 14-inch guns probably as
good as our 14-lnch guns, and that
England has the Queen Elizabeth in
commission with 15-inch guns, a bat
tleship or over Zi.ooo tons, with a
speed of 25 knots, and nine other capi
tal ships building with lo-lnch guns.
"The war has demonstrated the need
and value of aircraft. Tie general
board recommended the appropriation
of $5,000,000, but only one-fifth of the
amount was obtained.
"In view of the increasing number
of submarines and the accident in
Hawaii, there is urgent necessity for
testing and wrecking docks that may
be used for salving submarines of any
size, docking submarines and testing
to determine the resistance to external
water pressure. Two docks of this
description will be required for the At
lantic and two for the Pacific.
"Upon the efficiency of tho supply
ships depends the efficiency of the
fleet. The importance of supply ships
has also been demonstrated in this war.
One was authorized in 1313. It would
have been nearly completed by this
time If built under contract, but it is
to bo constructed in one of our Navy
yards and it has not yet been laid
down.
"Without ample coal and oil storage
at distant bases, in the absence of a
large merchant marine, to Insure a
continued supply cf fuel, the range and
efficiency of the fleet will be seriously
impaired in time of war.
Heal Element Forgotten.
"The general board In a report to the
Secretary stated: 'The strength of the
fleet is measured too often in the pub
lic mind by the number and tonnage of
its material units. The real strength
of the fleet is the combination of its
personnel (with their skill and train
ing) and its material, and of these two
elements the more important, the per
sonnel, is too often forgotten and ncg-
lectea in making provisions for our
tleet."
One of the basic troubles at the pres
ent moment is the demoralization which
has been going on of our personnel and
which is not taken Into account. Fur
ther, it is poor economy to build bat
tleships without making, as we are do
ing now. a proper provision for the in
crease required in personnel, as is the
approved practice in other countries.
The difficulty in the administration
of the Navy at the present moment Is
duo to the fact that the organization
in rorce for four years founded on a
plan to a great extent the outcome of
Admiral Mahon's ideas, has been dis
rupted and disorganized without con
sulting experts, and nothing has been
put In its place. Imagine a new rail
road president removing division heads
without replacing them and expecting
the operation of the entire railroad
system to be continued with .efficiency,
economy and despatch. The test of a
naval organization comes when, in an
emergency, it can pass smoothly from
a peace to a war basis. In the present
condition of the organization it could
not be accomplished without the great
est confusion and congestion to the
mortification of the Navy and the pos
sibility of grave consequences to the
discredit of the country."

"Only nine shells were flred on the
second and last bombardment of the

Costly Trips to Hot Springs or to Sanatoriums
THOUSANDS have learned that 6088 (Sixty-Eighty-Eight)
eliminates the causes of Rheumatism in much the same
manner as do the waters of Hot Springs and similar resorts.
They have tried 6088 just because we
have said to them as we say to you now
"088 must relieve your Rheumatism
must prove beneficial in cases of Chronic
Skin Eruptions, Biliousness or Indigestion
or your money will be instantly returned
to you by your own druggist."
Now that you can get 6088 of your
druggist, you need no longer suffer the
pangs of Rheumatism. You need no
longer endure the torments o chronic
skin eruptions.
Your Druggist Is Authorized to Guarantee Beneficial Results
6088 (Sixty-Eighty-Eight) is an absolutely
harmless remedy if taken according to our plain
directions. It contains no habit forming drugs.
We bave sold it under a positive money-back -if-not-benefited
Guarantee for years, and of all the
thousands who bave used 6088 ( Sixty-Eighty -Eight)
less than 1 per cent have asked for the
return of their money.
6088 -was not put on the market until it had
been given years of trial by a successful physician
who gained the reputation of a Rheumatism
Specialist through the almost unfailing benefit
the formula of 60S3 achieved.
6088 is earnestly recommended for the treat
ment of Chronic Rheumatism, Mercurial Rheu
matism, Lumbago and Rheumatic Neuralgia, fol
lowing attacks of Inflammatory Rheumatism and
Sciatica. It also proves beneficial in cases of
Chronic Skin Eruptions, Biliousness or Indiges
tion. 6088 (Sixty-Eighty-Eight) not only relieves
Rheumatism, but it tends to build up the entire
system, renovating the organs of the body and
reviving their normal strength and health.

It was generally recalled that in the
note sent by the United States to Ger

matlon of a war zone around the
British Isles and Ireland, the Washing
ton Government asserted that it would
hold the German government "to a

phraseology being so drawn as to cover
attacks on belligerent vessels on which
Americans were traveling.
Attack Believed Accidental.
Officials said at the time that the
purpose of the document was to insist
on the right of Americans to voyage on
the high seas, even on belligerent
merchantmen, and on the observance
of previous rules of International law,
which provide for the transfer to places
of safety of non-combatants aboard un
armed merchantmen.
The possibility of any action other
than a demand for damages in the

THE HAGUE, via London. May 2.
The German aeroplane attack on Die
American tanker Ciisning in the North
Sea last Wednesday was described as
absolutely . unwarranted by Captain
Larz Herland, of the Cushlng, tonight.
Captain Herland detailed the attack in
substance as follows:
"The steamer was making about 11
knots an hour when the aeroplane was
observed circling around the ship. It
was about 7 o'clock in the evening and
was broad daylight. The crew could
see plainly the German colors and the
maltese cross, as the aeroplane was
less than 1000 feet high.
"Suddenly a waterspout arose about
a foot from the port quarter, throwing
tons of water on the decks. Everyone
thought the vessel had struck a mine.
Then a second waterspout rose at a
similar distance and In the same posi
tion. The crew was ordered to shelter
and immediately a third bomb hit the
rail near the smokestack.
"This missile exploded and splinter?
were scattered for a distance of f0 feet
on the aftert deck, several passing
through and tearing the American
ensign."
The captain ordered the crew to their
boat stations, as it appeared evident
that the aviators were aiming at the
smokestack and In event of an explo
sion with 9000 tons of Inflammable oils
aboard, the vessel probably would be
destroyed almost Instantly.
The weather was clear and In the
opinion of the skipper the aviators
could not fail to see the flag and the
name of the vessel, which was painted
in six-foot letters on both sides of the
hull. Upon reaching Rotterdam th.--captain
of the Cushsing made a report
to American Consul-General Listoe.
