THE RED CROSS TREATY.

The international Red Cross conven-
ton at Geneva has concluded its ses-
sions. an agreement having been
reached on all important matters. The
delegates to the convention lacked the
mower to make their actions binding on
the nations they represented, but it
is not believed that here will be any
difficulty about securing a ratification
of the articles agreed upon. Six months
time was given to the nations for the
exchange of ratifications so that prob
ably by the opening of 1907 the new
provisions will have taken the place
of those enacted at the convention of
1854
The articles are all broadly humane.
They tend to mitigate to a considerable
extent the horrors of war and to in
sure 10 it's victims the best possible at
tention. In the very first chapter of
the agreement the obligations of the
victor are defined. Soldiers who are
left i'll or wounded on the field are to
be made prisoners of war and given
every possible attention until they are
exchanged under such stipulations as
the belligerents may agree upon. The
field must be thoroughly. searched by
the victor for wounded and sick.
Further he must exchange with the
loser all information possible about the
dead and wounded, and he must return

THE RILLPosTER's DEVIL.

At their national convention in Chi
cago the other day the Billposters' as
ISOLATION decided TO discontinue the use
of pictures of the devil in any form on
their billboards. AS we have not at
hand the arguments that were used to
bring about this result, we cannot say
how it was accomplished. All we know
is that pictures of the devil will not
be used any longer. This will be a Sc
we're blow to Lewis Morrison of
Faust" fame, but Morrison will prob
ably be able to Withstand the shock
And it is to be presumed that the bill
posters will in the future as in the
past, see nothing wrong about decorat-
ing their boards with pictures of maid
ems in near-costumeless costumes.
The adjustment of the devil is not
going to stop the crusade against the
billboards. They were not a nuisance
because of the devil pictures. They
principles. On vacant lots. on roofs
of buildings, wherever they are erect
ed, they disfigure the landscape and
negative efforts at civic beauty. In
most of the principal cities of the Unit
ed States efforts to regulate, if not to
abolish, the billboards are under way.
The difficulty has been that so many
property owners are willing, for the
sake of a trifling amount of revenue,
to rent space for billboards.
They do not stop to think that prop
erty with a billboard on it depreciates
in value, and that it depreciates the
value of other property in the neigh
borhood. Other things being approx
imately equal, nobody is going to buy
a home across the street from a bill
board if he can get one somewhere
else. And not the least offensive thing
they offer for criminals. Many a high
wayman has used them to the disad-
vantage of his victims.
While we are on the subject we may
say that the action of the billboard men
in abolishing the devil is at least a
step in the right direction. The sec
ond right step will be the adjustment
of pictures of chorus girls in scanty
costumes. The third will be the abol-
ishment of pictures of any sort and
the fourth the adjustment of the bill
boards. Let us all join in hoping that
the last three steps will be taken
quickly.
