The judge had to apologize and remit the fine be cause the secretary insisted on his rights under the law. Other repre- sentatives of foreign countries have been arrested in other parts of the country. but they have preferred 10 pay the fines inflicted rather than call attention to their disregard of To- cal ordinances. Immunity from ar rest has been granted in nearly all countries to representatives of other powers. on the theory that they never leave their own country. For instance. wherever the French ambassador stands there is France. and only French laws can reach him. Conse- ouently, when French minister or attache is guilty of a misdemeanor he must be tried in France under French laws if he insists on his rights.

If the population of a fair-sized city were wiped out of existence by a sin gle cata clysm, If the families of s0.OO0 strong, able-b bodied men were thrown dependent on the world through the in stantaneous workings of great pesti- lence, would not civilization, particu- larly If in a measure responsible for what had happened, be called upon not only to find relief for the victims but to furnish safeguards against repe- tition of the disaster! Is it because the world doubts its own motives that il can gaze upon such sacrifice of hu- man life as is now being offered on the mountains of Manchuria and find justi- flea tion in it's patriotiSmt And if there is found in this grisly monument of the dead incentive to higher things sutfi- cient for its cost to what account must we debit the sorrow and suffering of the hundreds of thousands bereft and helpless ones, paying out of all propOr ton to their means or their deserts: :: To hold that one nation whose sons are machine slaughtered in an acci- dent called war, is gloritied thereby, while another, losing a tithe of the number through the accident of a plague, forfeits the respect of her sis ters, is carrying regard for conven ton beyond limits where intelligence may flow. It is not only the privilege but the duty of civilized peoples to readjust, ruthlessly if need be, the tra
 ditional standards of national and per sonal morality to fit the broader un- derstanding of mans duty to mankind which we boast to-day. Yet so far re- moved are our practices from our, prin- ciples that the slaughter of d hundred thousand brave men is accepted as calmly as a recognized preliminary to the national adjustment of the differ ences between Japan and Russia. Is there wonder that those living in darkness" accept only tentatively our doctrine of peace on earth?"

END TW0-PLATO0N TEST
Chicago Ftremen Quit the Game aud
Return to the old
system.

The two-platoon system was finally elmi-
mated from the Chicago fire department at
8 O'Clock Thursday night and the men in
the Franklin street engine house were
happy. The men themselves petitioned
Chief Campion to revert to the old system
and Mayor Dunno gave his consent Thir-
teen transfers are involved in the ending
OF the system.
For the last week the system has worked
a hardship upon the men. particularly the
officers of the two companies, hook and
ladder No. 6 and engine No. No. Before
the Shonk fire one lieutenant and two men
were sick in bed and, according to the
rules formulated for the test the other
men were compelled to do tho work OF
those off duty. This necessitated some OF
the men remaining on duty twenty-four
hours at a time and the officers we're com

day former Marshal Musham handed his

firemen were compelled to remain on watch
for the three men who were sick at home

Firemen have been trained not to talk
freely, so it is impossible without an order
from the fire marshal to get vote of the
men who took part in the test Upon
promises that their names would not be
used. some of the firemen gave their opin-

man favored it unqualifedy and a ma
