Germany has issued a new credit of 15 ■ billion marks, a mark represents about half its former value. This increases Germany's war debt* considerably—near ly 37 billions of dollars in our money.

This important story is given a prominent, front page position, but the “cable-editor,” evidently “pressed for space,” cut the copy a bit injudi ciously. The story omits the very de tails that would interest readers in this country. It does not give 'the names of the unlucky fourteen ves sels. Fortunately, the editor’s space troubles were confined to the front page. He had better look inside. On page 3 he found It possible to give nearly two columns to America’s fiendish "war plot,” a powerful piece contributed by that eminent journalist, Dr. Georg Barthelme, who will be re membered as the gentleman who loved America so much he refused to leave his buddie, ex-Ambassador: Bernstorff, and, later, had to be per suaded to go back to his beloved' “vaterland.” The “doc,” it seems, has overcome his violent affection for the United States. He “reviews” the events that led up to this country’s participation in the war and finds absolutely noth ing In the record to which he can give his entire approval. As a matter of fact, and putting the case with brutal bluntness, the doc is persuaded that the villainous characters written by our best-known authors of popular price melodrama became weak imita tions of the real thing when compared with the scandalous role enacted by the Unitwl States of America in recent years. The doc shakes his head sadly over his former temporary home and turns with more pleasure to a serene contemplation of the joys of kultur. “The Continental Times” has a pet theme from which the editor cannot find the courage to divorce himself. It is the sinking of the “Lusitania.” It seems that he has been watching the developments of that case with close attention and great interest. Therefore he is delighted to “read in American newspapers” that legal pro ceedings brought by survivors of the; catastrophe against the Cunard Steam ship Company clearly show that the' “Lusitania” was blown up by ammu nition she was carrying to Great Britain. This, of course, eliminates all submarine theories and proves con clusively that the Kaiser blundered horribly when he pinned a medal on the commander of the U-boat who' HOW YOU CAN HELP In this issue of Trench and Camp: appears the first of a series of arti-l clcs on the work of the seven civilian i organizations which have combined ir/ the United War Work Campaign to ask the people of the United States i for the gift of $170,500,000 with which! to carry on their work in the interest of soldiers and sailors for the next' year.

It may be well, at this point, to ex plain that “The Continental Times" is printed primarily for British and American war prisoners in Germany. Even the advertisements of steel cast ings, brass tubings, metallurgical fur naces and automobiles, which take up a whole lot of valuable space, are written in English, even if the actual type is a bit Teutonic. The editor points out his keen desire to provide the “news” of the world to the pris oners. Indeed, his philanthropy goes beyond the prison camps. A part of the circulation is distribution, via air planes, over the British and American lines. The editor neglects to state ; that his fearless, independent, cosmo- I politan journal is subsidized by the ! German Government. It is possible, |of course, that he regards this fact ; as a mere business office detail that could not possibly interest British or American prisoners. Aside from this minor detail, how ever, “The Continental Times” is a bear of a newspaper. Every issue contains a “weekly review of the war,” written “by our military expert,” in which the M. E. explains to the pris oners how the grand and glorious German army in outfighting, outguess ing, outthinking arid putting it all over the idiotic Yankees by wishing on them a whole lot of perfectly worthless French territory, for which Berlin hasn’t a bit of use. and which the military expert is mighty glad to see them stung with. However, “The Continental Times" takes a mighty broad view of every phase of modern life. The editor shows his philanthropy by hammering down the subscription rates almost to a starvation figure. Any prisoner can buy a single copy for five cents, or take it on for three months for the ridicu lously low sum of $2. And you can take it from the editor that his one i aim’ in life is to make everybody in ’ the world happy. He doesn’t even ' want to see Ludendorff and Hinden burg beat up. Now, can’t you see every prisoner in Germany weeping over the thought that those dear, kind, benevolent Ger mans are being beaten up outrage ously by unscrupulous American, 1 French and British soldiers > j tions, back to your home folks, with a ! letter telling them to be prepared to i give liberally when the United War 11 Work Campaign drive begins.

The foregoing question is ammunition. It is hot shot with which to puncture German propaganda. It is the duty of evert American to hold himself ready to fire this ammunition at any person who tells any story or repeats any rumor which smoaks of German origin. Forty thousand Four Minute Men began a campaign Monday throughout the Nation to arouse the public to a realization of the dan gers of giving credeneee to or spreading widlcat tales about war pre parations, activities, or disasters. Recently a dispateb to the Evansville, Ind, Journal-News from New • o)k via the Associated Press of a rumor that the Eeviathlan, formerly the Vaterland. had been sunk while loaded with soldiers going over seA In a few minutes the Associated Press was able to deny the rumor. Meanwhile the entire staff of the Journal-News was engaged in a dili gent search for pictures of the monster transport and a story of its his tory and dimensions. J. R. Duncan of Evansville, was in New York at the time and he says the rumor was current there and spread like widlfire.

'VICTORY,' NOT 'PEACE' IS ARMY'S BUSINESS ' Hancock Soldiers Admonished : Not to Give Peace a Thought, But Prepare to Fight. ' In a special memorandum published at 1 the Machine Gun Training Center ail men of the command are admonished not to take the various rumors afloat with Feriousncrs until they are either proved or disproved. : This is exactly the sentiments of the ’officers and men of the Camp, and the memorandum setting forth the Govern -1 mem's views with regards to idle peace talk was received with approval by the men. The memorandum further enlightens jthe men at this Camp that the German forces are being driven back upon all fronts, and that with the usual methods I employ'd by the German Government they are .attempting to throw up a smoke screen of peace talk to cover military de feat. i Attention is also directed that the con sideration of peace terms is for the Ex i ecutive Branch of the Government, and talk or consideration by officers or men of the possibility of Peace or Peace terms, will help Germany and not this country. The memorandum follows. ' The sole business of the Army Is to I fight. The true soldier has only one | word “Victory’’.’ We are a long- wav [from victory and the less wo think about peace the nearer Ave shall be to it. “Every man in this command may be I called upon at anytime to go overseas, i When that, time comes every man will bo [ ready. Meanwhile let him prepare by do ; Ing his full duty to the Army and to his Country. [ “By hard work and American character we have got by one big hazard since the i peace offensive started; The Liberty Loan is over-subscribed. The Army has I done more than its duty in that answer to Germany. It must go on doing more i than its duty. “The Army must go on exactly as if no word of peace had been whispered. All the fighting brain-cella of the mind must [ l*e wide open, and all the peace brain i cells closed. There are things one simp i ly doesn't think about. “Peace” is one of ; them. The Army must behave as if it i never heard the word. LETTER TO EDITOR The Editor, Trench and Camp, Camp i Hancock, Ga.
