Canning. We congratulate . that officer upon his honorable ac- quittal and the court upon its sound settees) in returning such a verdict. It was due to a chance remark at mess made by Lieut. Canning that a most unsatisfactory state of affairs wars revealed re'gar'ding the treatment of German prisoners and the attitude of the Home Mee. Lieut, Canning' wa:i adjutant of t110 Loftllottse Park pr'ieon camp, of which Lt. -Col. G. F. Ilaiiies was commandant In that came) was a Count Leopold von Pies - sen, who had bel'n allowed to receive lvisits the v is of various ladles, one of whom was said to be a German, while another , h ,r was Mrs. Leverton Harris, wil'r of Commander Leverton Harris, R.N.V.It„ Parliamentary. Scere- tary to the Ministry oi' Blockade. Lieut. Canning's crime was that he said to the colonel: "You have only got to be it baron in this camp to get preferential treatment," and that he protested against the visits, of ladies to von Plessen. He did so with the more reason as von Piessen had been caught making a tunnel from his hut and had been punished for that act by removal to another part of the camp. The evidence givefh showed that special "orders" had been granted by the Hotlhe Office for ladies to visit this count and two other Germans of position before Col. Haines was in command. During his period ' of command a letter was received from a, Mr, Waller, of the Home Office, ask- ing for special privileges for Mrs. Leverton Harris, and saying: "This lady is the wife of a mem- ber of Parliament, and she has an, plied for permission to visit Baron Leopold von Plessen. She wants spe- cial facilities to the effect that sherds not to be supervised. She. wishes to see him alone, and she does not wish the time circumscribed." Col. Haines alleged that he refused to grant these privileges, but was unable to state whether an officer was present when Mrs, Leverton Har- ris saw von Plessen, or whether par- cels which she brought had been censored, An explanation issued by Mrs, Leverton Harris about her visits does not enable us to understand why the Home Office letter stipulated for (1) no supervision and (2) no time limit. • The affair cannot be left where it stands, and we are glad to see it re- ported that the Prime Minister is "seriously concerned at the revela- tions of the association of highly placed persons in this country with interned enemy prisoners" and that he intends to give the nrat.ter hit notice: personal attention, We commend the following questions to his - k. What right has the Home Of- fice, which is a civil department, to interfere in a military matter and issue "special permits" or "orders" to women to visit prison camps? 3, Who is Mr. 'Waller; and, how does it came that he can 'write from the Horne Office directing a niilftaxy officer to grant special privileges, sueh as absence of supervision and limit to the time -of a visit, in such , tt case as P1ees"1111. ' 3. How far have these revelations strengthened the public confidence In the Ministry of Blockade and its 'arlianhentary Secretary. ' 4. What are the names Of the oth- er ladies who saw German prisoners? Was there a German woman, and, if so, who is she?. It has long been suspected tlutt the Home Office, not content with showing discreditable timidity and tenderness in stealing with the Huns, With whom it wasdirectly concerned, was actually going out of its way to interfere with other Departments, and notably with the navy and army. Here we have proof. Here also we have proof that persons with a "pull" a n see prisoners under conditions that eounel military discipline would never permit. Whitt makes the whole Affair worse is that the Home Office yestei'cda.v was attempting to latish it up by refusing all i.nfornlation on the subject . Nothing, after these discoveries-- made as they have been by mere chance - will satisfy public opinion but ft drastic overhaul of the Home Office. The persons who habitually favor Germany and ,Germane must be removed. They are a'danger to tae a:onrttry, The whole management of aliens ought 'without any more delay to be taken from the florae Office and made over to a new Aliens Departs went, manned by energetic Britons and not by pedantic or pro -German aides, The meet* of Baron Schroe- der, of the uninternod glum, of the boreb-dodging Russians were bad. enough.
