A correspondent whose letter we print
President zelaya was justified in put
ting 10 death American citizens who
We're captured while serving I'm General
Estrada's army simply because they were
Americans and not Nicaraguans. and
asks II the United States would recog-
nize as regular belligerents foreigners
fighting in the ranks of a revolutionary
army and on capturing them would ac-
cord them the rights of prisoners of
war He may be answered by citations
from two eminent American authorities.
Charles Lee. who was Washingtons and
Adarns's Attorney General of the United
States. laid down the principle that "a
subject of a foreign power. acting under
"a commission from the hostile govern
"ment. should be treated as an enemy.
"and confined as a prisoner Of war"
Daniel Webster. as Secretary Of State.
had under consideration a hypothetical
case practically identical with the pres
cnt. When Texas was in rebellion or
revolution against Mexico the question
arose Of the status Of American citizens
whom Mexico might capture while they
were serving with the Texan revolu-
tionary army. Mr.. Webster unhesitat
ingly expressed the opinion that if such
men were not treated as prisoners Of
war. even though Mexico had not recog-
nized Texas as a belligerent. "conse-
"quences of the most serious character
would certainly ensue" Those state
ments Of American principle. policy and
practice seem pertinent 10 and conclu-
sive of the Nicara guam case.

The New York Medical Journal finds
little that is novel in DR.. Jonnesco's pro-
cedure. An American surgeon produced
anesthesia twenty years ago by inject
ing cocaine and strychnine into the
spine. and others have made the neces-
sary puncture in the neck, not in the
lumbar region. Doubts of the wisdom
of allowing a patient 20 remain con-
scious during a severe operation are also
expressed by the paper just mentioned.
Perhaps the chief benefit 20 be derived
from the Rumanian's visit 70 the me-
tropOlis will be the fresh discussion IL
is exciting of what are really old
methods.

We must take exception TO some flip

which come from East Africa about the
strange beasts and birds which have
been reported as falling before Colonel
Roosevelt's trusty rifle, the gist of them
being that such creatures never had any

the Kirumbo bird and the Bartickiensis
Africanus are mere post-prandial myths.
but we draw the line at such intimations
concerning the Gyascutus. What. that

YOUNG GIRL VICTIM
RELATES Her STORY
IRISH LACE MAKER TELLS OF
ABDUCTION
Accusations Made by Unfortunate
Woman Involve Lace Dealer, Two
Young Men and Mysterious
Stranger

CHICAGO, July al want you for
a man in French Lick Springs. He will
give you lots of money"
Ella Gingles, the 1S-year-old Irish
lace maker, testified in Judge Bren-
tano's court here today that the above
remark was made to her by Miss Agnes
Barrette, proprietress of a lace store in
the Wilmington hotel at the time the
Gingles girl was found gagged and
bound in the bath room of the hotel,

I was taken to a room by Miss Bar

speaking of visit prior to the binding
and gagging incident. Later a man
came into the room, and I cannot tell
what else happened. [ only know a
man named Charlie called up the man
in the ROOM"
Miss Gingles claimed on the stand
that the larceny charge against her
was part of the plot to drive her into
going to French Lick Springs. The re
lation of this story visibly affected the
witness.
No attempt was made to bring out
the identity of the mysterious man in
French Lick Springs who was supposed
to be behind all this plotting.

DENVER. July 3.-The National
Council of Education, which is the first
active gathering preliminary to the
Educational association which begins
its sessions Monday, held its first ses-
sion at $50 this morning.
1t was opened with short statement
by Joseph Swain, president of Swarth-
more college, Swarthmore, Pa, presl-
dent of the council. The principal DIS
cussion was on the report of the COM
mittee on provision for eXceptlollal
children in the public schools. An IN
troductory statement was MADE py
James H. Van Sickle. superintendent OF
schools of Baltimore.
"Spiritless Teaching was the subject
of /. c. Mcneil, superintendent OF
schools of Memphis. Tenn, who spoke
in the general discussion that followed.
His address in part is as follows;
Some teaching is unscientitiC and
consequently so spiritless that it would
make most any child delinquent. Pa
rents and teachers often make delin-
uuents of children by failing to observe
the fundamental things and processes
incident to growth and development.
Permanent aversion to school is the
legitimate result of putting children at
work on studies they are not mature
enough to comprehend
Condemns Too Much Crowdng
The speaker condemned the attempt
to nut high school branches into gram
mar grades or intermediate studies into
primary grades, and said that educa-
tioual agencies must look continuously
to the care of the physical and emo
tional as well as to the intellectual SIDE
of education.
society suffers from elements which
are unstable. erratic and inefficient
These elements corrupt morals, lead TO
irrational modes Of living and swell the
hosts of the helpless and criminal VINO
become the real burdens OF society.
"Unless delinquent classes have the
benefits of the kind of education which
is adapted to their peculiar needs, they
grow up among us and recruit the
army OF people who never mt any
where. They fill the poor houses, the
prisons. the asylums and the sluinS.
They produce and reproduce their kind
and bring about a feeling of social un-
rest, which is growing in this complex
age.
"A failure on the part of the home
to exercise even a forceful discipline IS
moral sin. which has put the curse or
Cain and the stamp of Satan on many
a promising boy or girl
"When VIC realize the baneful work
ing of uneven discipline growing out of
weak willed, inefficient parental gov
ernment we stand in the presence of a
great problem.
How can we impress fathers and
mothers and teachers with the idea
that weak and vacilating government
of children blasts their lives and makes
Them candidates for the ranks of the
ignoble?" .,-.
