THE CAPTURE
OF DE WET
THOUGHT HE HAD OPPORTUN
ITY OF PAYING BACK ENG
LAND OLD SCORE
Ten years or so ago England tried
a great experiment. She gavethe
Boers, against whom she had fought
a long and bloody war, full citizen
ship and declared that bygones were
bygones. A year and a half ago the
theory on which she acted was put
o the test. War broke out with a
people supposed to be particularly
friendly toward the Boers, and her
enemies were in a position to come
to the aid of the Boers if they
chose to rise.
Of course, as all knew, the South
Africans as a whole were* splendidly
loyal, and in a few months carried
to a conclusion the campaign upon
which England can look back with
unfeigned pleasure. But it was not
! in human nature that that loyalty
j should have been untarnished and
' that there should not have been
i some of England’s veteran foes
I who would not take the opportunity
j to pay back old scores. For a few
months matters in South Africa
were critical, and it seemed as if
at the beginning of the great war
the entire country would be in- a
blaze ,and the debt that England j
owes to the strudy honor and cour
age of General Louis Botha and
General Smuts is beyond price.
So the a ccount which Philip J.
Sampson has written of the abortive
insurection of General Christian De
Wet is something more than one of
the ordinary “war books.” It is a
study in colonial statesmanship, and
deserves to be read by all who
would understand the relations be
tween a dominant power and a peo
ple dependent upon it. Probably
the Boer injpconcilables were always
few in number, and undoubtedly
many of those who appeared in the
rebel commandoes were stirred by
no deeper feeling than neighborly
loyalty to heir friends, but for all
that the situation was a most dif
ficult one to handle and caused
Botha many anxious hours.
So even more important than Mr.
Sampson’s spirited account of the
actual fighting and the motor-car
round-up of De Wet is the sketch
he gives of the first steps toward
revolt and the curious and dramatic
death of General Delarey by a
chance bullet as he was at last
taking the irrevocable step which
would have placed him in the Ger
man side.

ANOTHER WAY TO
HASTEN PEACE
It is said that by an official or
der,Germany has stopped the ship
ment of bread to prisoners of war
in Germany, unless each package of
bread is addressed to an individual
prisoner. This order has caused con
sternation to those in charge of the
bready supply to prisoners, as they
say it is practically impossible to
send packages except to a few, and
that the great bulk of prisoners
will have their bread supply cut off.
They declare, too, that back of this
order is a sinister move to strike
such t rror among the Aliles on the
starv j condition of their prison
ers, that they will be willing to lis
ten to peace.

FOUR PRISONERS OF
WAR ARE RECAPTURED
CALAIS, Me., Jan. 22—A situa
tion of international interest de
veloped today when four men, alleg
ed to be prisoners of war, who had
escaped from a detention camp at
Ajnhurst, N. S. were captured on the
American side of the border.
The escape from the camp at Am
merst was effected by tunneling 150
feet under walls to a point beyond
the sentry lines.
Th» men crossed the ice on the
St. Croix river two miles above this
city from the New Brunswick shore.
Three of the men had fled to Ayer
Junction, where they were about
to board a westbound train, when H.
C. Gillis, a Nnited States immigra
tion inspector arrested them. An
other was caught here.
Agents of the Canadian govern
ment in this city said formal pro
ceedings would be started at once
through the administration at Ot
tawa and the British ambassador I
at Washington seeking the return j
of the fugitives to Canadian terri-1
tory.
The men apprehended here gave
their names as William Schdoeder,
Gustave Hartwig, George Klein
worth and Hans Neu.

TWO SWISS OFFICERS
ACCUSED OFTREASON
MEMBERS OF GENERAL STAFF
GIVE INFORMATION TO
TEUTONIC ALLIES
_
GENEVA, Jan. 22—Col. Maurice
dc Wattensyl and Colonel Karl Egli,
both of the Swiss General Staff,
have been charged with high treas
on.
Formal complaints against the of
ficers were made to the Federal
Council by Geneva Councilors
Ilaboure and Guinaud and National
Councilor Villemin. The Federal
Council, in conjunction with Gener
al Ulrich Wille, commander of the
Swiss Army, had investigated sim
iliar but less grave charges against
these officers on Dec. 24, and as a
result had ordered their transfer
.to other posts.
General Wille appointed a high
officer to make a strict investiga
tion of the new charges. It is under
stood that the two Colonels are
charged with having communicated
to Germany information regarding
French positions along the French
Swiss frontier. According to other
accounts, it is alleged that they
gave every night to the Austro-Ger
man Military Attaches the reports
received at Swiss headquarters con
| reining the situation, movements,
and the disposition of Swiss troops
along the frontiers.

REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR GIRL
(By Helen Rowland in P.-I.)
Every man firmly believes that
it takes audacity to win a woman’s
love and mendacity to keep it.
No doubt the recent grippe epi
demic, so soon after New Year’s
was secretly regarded as a boon by
a lot of men who found It one dig
nified way of sliding gracefully off
the “water wagon” via the “med
icinal route.”
A man’s “ideal woman” appears
to be the kind that is as sweet and
soft and fluffly as a lemon merin
gue pie— and usually just as in
sipid and as likely to disagree with
him.
The saddest sight on earth is that
of a widow who is foolish enough to
buy a second husband with the mon
ey she saved by feeding her first
husband on half portions and
ragouts.
“The weather”, says a masculine
paragrapher, “is the only thing that
can change quicker than a woman's
mind.” Pouf! How about a man’s
heart?
Yes, Corinne, this is Leap Year,
but it is not really comme il faut
to ask a man to marry you—unless,
of course, you are prepared to sup
port him in the style to which he
would like to become accustomed.
When a girl marries for compli
ments and kisses, her husband is al
ways astonished and hurt because
she isn’t satisfied with three meals
a day, a peck on the cheek and the
thrilling privilege of sitting around
evenings and watching him read the
newspaper.
Now that those little crowns of
pin curls are coming in, one woman’s
hair is another woman’s “crowning
glory.”
