KRUGER's MISSION or PEACE

II seems clear now, from the ad-
dresses made by the eX-presldent Of the
Transyaal In France. that his visit to
Europe IS not FOR war purposes. but
for peace He does not expect to en-
list France or any other country, in a
military expedition to South Africa
against the British, but he seems to
have an idea that through some pow
erful influence It may be possible TO
arrange FOR arbitration, in accordance
with the principles Of The Hague con-
ference between the British govern
ment and the late Boer republics. This
is the only inference that can be drawn
from his public utterances, as reported
by the press.
The stirring words Mr.. Kruger first
uttered on his landing In Marsellles,
to the effect that his people would fight
to the bitter end, and that nothing but
total determination could deprive them
Of their independence, do not conflict
with the view that his mission is one
OF peace. on the contrary, II It is a
fact that Great Britain Is confronted
with but two alternatives-to evacuate
the republics or to massacre the popu.
lation that fact Itself should be the
strongest incentive for the European
governments TO ask Great Britain for
arbitration. and for the British govern.

pies subscribed TO by the peace dele
gates at The Hague Undoubtedly Dom
Paul looks at the matter from this
point Of view
But there is no present prospect that
this logic will avail Technically the
two republics DO not exist. They are
now British colonies. and the Hague
agreement does not include arbitration
between q mother country and her
rebelious colonies No European power
can even suggest such arbitration, since
that would be construed as interference
with Great Britalns internal" affairs.

landing accurately on the girls bare
flesh was pulled away with a sort Of
drawing movement leaving behind a
ridge slightly darker than the sur
rounding skin. The second blow
crossed the first, and before the third
descended a drop OF blood appeared
at the meeting place Of the first two
ridges. This continued until the girls
legs and back were covered with welts
and blood. The proceeding was pune
tuated with the girls cries, her APP
peals for mercy, and her protestations
that she hadn't dome muffin but she
did not tell the truth She might have
been murdered right there, but she
would apparently have stuck TO her lie
to the last breath.
Such treatment OF human beings was
not abandoned by the civilized world
on account OF any sentimental sympa-
thy for crimes and criminals. Nor was
torture, burning at the stake and sim
liar punishments relegated to the past
for such reasons il was done because
civilization found It was necessary to
do away with then for its/own sake.

II they are again adopted, the con-

In view OF this popularity OF Chinese
pollcy. there may be some dimlnution
OF the insistent demand that China be
riven such a measure Of punishment
that she will not care 10 repeat her re-
cent escapade But severity OF punish
ment Is always guaged by the size and
condition Of the victim and the ability
OF the castigator 10 apply the rod. In
this case the culprit Is rather formlda-

on the part Of the powers TO have our
