In fact the King did not hesitate to
make Musurus feel that England strong
" resented the manner in which she
had been treated by the Porte, during
the last twenty years or so. and the
iugratitude which The Ottoman govern
ment had shown for England's support
at the tine Of the Crimean war, and
again in 1917. when she prevented Rus
STA from taking possession Of Ccnstan-
rinopIe, stopping her at the very gates

A Medal for General Andre.

General Andre. the French minister of
war. having attained the age limit, has
been placed on the retired list Of the
army, and in consequence thereof figures
from now on at the head Of the war
department as a civilian instead Of as
a general of division in active service.
The President, in order 20 signalize
the event, issued decree comforting
upon him the highly priced "MedaiIle
Militaire." a decoration instituted fer
the special purpose of rewarding ex-
ceptional acts Of gallautry and heroism
among the non-commissioned officers
and men Of the army and navy, and
which, as far as the commissioned Off
GERS are concerned. can only be con-
ferred upon full generals who have
commanded on the battlefield. and who
have filled at least two terms as COM
mander of army corps. or else who have
twice been minister of war
It is on the latter ground that the
medal has been conferred upon General
Andre 1 do not believe there are at
present more than dozen French gen
erals who wear it on their breast. and
there is no decoration in France that
the commissioned officer Of the army or
navy prizes more highly than the
.'Medaille Silitaire."

The Postmaster General on
Smuggling.
4 Curious Plea IL Mitigation IN the
Porto Rican Scandal.


Postmaster General Payne offers a
novel plea in mitigation for the Gov
eminent officials charged with ziolat
ing the Porto Rican customs laws.
He holds that there are two kinds Of
smuggling" and that the offenses
committed by the indicted Federal Of
fcers in Porto Rico were of "a purely
playful and mnocuous nature. The
offenders, Mr. Payne argues, carried
IN wines, liquors. and cigars, not to be
sold for gam IN the open market. but
TO be used IN private houses or at the
San Juan clubs. Therefore. they
should not be treated with the severi-
" visited on the vulgar everyday
smuggler, who breaks the laws to
make an Legitimate business profit.
We find no force in such transpar-
ent casuistry. The distinctions made
by the Postmaster General are more
ingenious than convincing. His the
DRY Is defensible neither from a legal
nor a moral point Of view. In the eve
Of the law the smuggler who brings IN
goods for personal use is no less a
criminal than the smuggIer who
brings IN goods to sell them at a mar
ket profit Each defrauds the state
for his own selfish benefit. One saves
the duty and pockets It: the other
adds 1t to the price paid by the con
suming public and also pockets II.
The state suffers as much from one
transaction as the other.
Nor from the point of view of NOR
ais Is II any less heinous to srau6gie
for ones personal use than to snug
gle for purposes Of commerce. The
petty smuggler appropriates to him
self all the benefits of his crime. The
commercial snuggler may in many
eases share the profits of his law
breaking enterprise with the consum-
ing public.
There Is, however, another phase of
the Porto Rican scandal which Mr..
Payne overlooks entirely in his apoI-
oey. He admits that the offenses com
planned of were committed under the
conditions invariably attendant upon
sem-miIitary occupancy" In other
words. they were committed by mill
tary and civil officers Of the Govern
ment who held themselves above the
foolish restrictions of Porto Ricau
law.
The real gravity Of the San Juan
scandal lies, indeed, in the fact that
officers wearing the Uniform Of the
United States and sworn to uphold lis
laws should nave endeavored TO set
up one standard OF conduct for them
selves and another standard for ma
tive Porto Ricans.
Representing IN that insular de
pendency the authority and prestige
Of the Federal Government, they dis
honored themselves and it by using
their commissions as a shield for Gus
toms thievery. IF only to restore
American credit, they should be pros
ecuted to the full extent Of the law
We hope the Administration viii stop
Its efforts TO whistle their offenses
down the wind. Il cannot afford to
annuI from Washington the indict-
ments brought against these baekslid-
ing officials IN the Porto Rican courts.
