WAR NOT PROFITABLE.

RoIivia's rejection of Argentina's award In
her dispute with Peru, the eruption Of unreason-
ing passion at La PaZ, and most OF all, perhapS'
the reflections cast upon Argentina by the Presl-
dent of Bolivia himself, have caused a severance
of diplomatic relations between Argentina and
Bolivia and a serious menace of war 1t must
be regretted that Argentina has deemed IL nee
essary to take the course which she has taken'
though her provocation was great, and we must
earnestly hope that hoStilities will be averted-
Argentina and some other South American
states have been conspicuous advocates of peace,
and it will be gratifying to see its advocacy now
made effective in the relations of that enllSht-
ened republic with her weaker neighbor. II II
is. there surely will be general feeling OF relle1
among other South American states, and in none
it is to be hoped will there be any feeling OF
disappointment
This is to be said, because it has been rumored
that merchants and others in Chill have been
welcoming the prospect of a war between Bo-
lva and one of her neighbors as likely to prove
advantageous to Chilli In that they we're by
no means singular The opinion is often eX-
pressed that a war between two powers would
be pecuniarily profitable to 4 third power We
do not know that the sordid expectation has
ever led to war or to the eXertiOn of influences
for the bringing about Of war though 1t Is OBJ
viOus that if il were sufficiently strong and con-
fident 1t might have that detestabe effect. But
it NAV he said with all possible emphasis that
such an expectation would be based upon
dubious grounds There are strong reasons for
doubling whether war is ever really profitable,
even TO neutralS.
There may be temporary and superhclal pro1-
its When two nations are engaged In hos
tilitics a neutral neighbor may he called upon
or may lave opportunity to conduct commerce
and industries which the war has suspended IN
the helligerent states and also to supply many
commodities with which those states are not for
the time able TO provide themselves. In that
way individuals in the neutral country may be
enriched But it is 10 be doubted whether that
country is either generally permanently en-
riched boom of war time speculation is
sure to be followed by reaction Industries
which were expanded 10 meet the war dme
demand must suffer shrnkage or collapse with
the return of peace. In finance, in manufact
ures and in commerce war inevitably causes
disturbance Of normal processes which In the
end is almost certain to be detrimental
Nor is ii to he forgotten that while the bel
lgerents under the strain of the needs Of war
may make extensive purchases at high prices,
the losses caused by are certain ~ reduce
their purchasing power at the return Of peace
and thus TO make them less valuable customers.
For these and other reasons war Is To he depre-
Gated even on the Sordid grounds of pecuniary
profit sReace and the progress and prosperity
TO which peace is essential are for the real and
lasting benefit of all nations.

THE MAYOR AND THE CODE,

We hope that the Mayors dramatic return 10
the city means the veto of the new building CODE
Certainly with him in the chair at the hearing
yesterday a new spirit was shown. Tammany
has been iamming it through by brute force ana
the short session which Acting Mayor McGowan
had planned TO hold would have afforded the
opponents of the revision little opportunity TO
present their case But the Mayor has thrown
the doors wide open, and there will be ample op-
portunity to hear the whole truth.
The more that is learned Of the code the more
monstrous Ii appears. Not only would 1t In
crease by 10 to 10 per cent the cost Of construct
ing tau buildings, but 1t would actually dis
courage fireproOf construction in buildings OF
five or six stories, so that more would be paid
for freproof construction and there would be
less of it.
Worst of all are the administrative features of
the measure The Superintendent OF Buildings
would be almost car. His discretionary
power would be extraordinary. He could set
aside the requirements of the code at will He
could as was brought out at the hearing, permit
the erection of a twenty story building with an
iron instead Of a steel frame. Thus politics
comes into the code not only in favoring the
hollow tile interests. of which the grand sachem
of Tammany Hall is the counsel, but i'll opening
the way for pull" and favoritsm TO builders.
Not only would the profit from the 10 or 10 per
cent increase in the cost Of building go-well,
where it would do most good-but Tammany,
through the superintendents of buildings, would
have the entire building industry of the city at
its mercy. The code would be potentially no
worse if 1t said fatty that 10 per cent of the
cost of every building must be paid into the
Golfers Of Tammany Hall, and that every one
having anything TO do with the industry must go
to Tammany Hall for all kinds of permits and
might go there for every conceivable indulgence.
pulp is the main consideration In the code

GETTING RID OF THE PLATFORM.

The Houston Post" offers new and interest
ing solution of the problem, do Democratic
platforms bindT' Senator Bailey says that they
ought not TO bind if they go into embarrassing
details and try to tie down statesmen in Con
gress to specific policies. The POST is not pre-
pared to hold that platform should be entirely
guiltleSS OF specifications for ii is hard TO see
how a document of that sort worth drawing up
could avoid some lapses from the abstract into
the concrete. Our Texas contemporary finds an
easier way 10 get rid of Democratic platforms,
whether they are prudently nebulous or often
sively precise The test is whether or not they
survive the onset Of the ballots in a national
election If the Democratic party wins in a
Presidential contest, the national platform holds
good. If the party loses, the platforms little
span of life is ended. Says THE Post:
The puerile contention over several of the spe-
cific demands of the Denver platform amounts
TO nothing. The Denver platform was prac-
ticaly obliterated by the people in November
and from that time until now leaders. people and
conditions have been governed by a new situa
ton The Denver platform was Democracy :
protest against Ronseveltism- The party is now
struggling with conditions substantially differ
ent. and those who are concerned most about
Democratic in7delity. as they term II, are those
who have never done anything for candidate or
platform when there opportunity TO help
Since the Democratic party has won only two
Presidential elections since 1856 II may dismiss
all its platforms since that date except for
those two years as 'obliterated." Maybe they,
too. can be ruled out under the statute OF limi-
tations II may be objected that THE Posts"
plan puts it in the power Of the Republican op-
position TO pass on the fitness of n Democratic
platform TO survive The Republican voters did
the Denver platform to death. The Post joy
fully accepts their verdict. Possibly so long as
the main point with our Texas contemporary IS
TO prove that the platform of 1905 is corpse,
it is willing to give any old suspect credit for
justifiable manslaughter.

THE TROUBLE MAKER IN TROUBLE.

Mr. Clemenceau lost his head. That, in brief
is the explanation of the unexpected and I'M
necessary ministerial crisis in France. 1t may
have been through overconhdence. based upon
his extraordinary success in weathering former
storms. It may have been through underesu-
nation of the prowess of his controversial an
tagonist, who is in fact one Of the ablest
statesmen whom France has produced in our
time 1t may have been through fit of sple-
netfc passion provoked by the exasperating
combination Of bitterness and calm which was
presented by Mr. Delcasse 1t may have been
through that cynical recklessness and bTavado
which he has not infrequently displayed with
fortunate effect Whatever the cause, he acted
with amazing indiscretion. There was need
of provoking the duel with Mr.. Delcasse. There
was certainly none OF pressing 1t to the e1-
tremity of life or death. There none,
either for permitting decisive vote to be
taken before he could rally his scattered forces,
which would have secured him q safe majority
Unless we accept the almost incredible assump-
ton that be was tired of Office and wanted 10
get out-in which case he surely would have
employed some more creditable means and Oc-
casion-we must reckon that Mr. Clemenceau
committed one of the biggest blunders in the
history of French parliamentary tactics.
The result will not be greatly regretted on
personal grounds. Mr. Clemenceau is highly
esteemed for his undoubted abilities and for
the great services which he has rendered to
France But he has never been master of the
fine art of making and keeping friends. Per
haps he bas not desired to be. Il have found,
he once declared, "a source of instruction in
the most cruel insults of my opponents He
has driven rather than led his party. He has
been a fighter, generally giving quarter. His
victories have been won through aggression
rather than through Cancellation and have gen
orally left a ranking sting behind them. He
made and unmade presidents of the republic
and prime ministers. Probably in doing SO he
usually did well for France. Nevertheless, he
was commonly regarded as the great trouble
maker of French politics, and it is only human
nature that the almost innumerable victims of
his truculent Vaccinations should now regard
the spectacle Of the trouble maker himself in
trouble with degree of complaoence, If not of
exultation. Nor will this feeling be greatly
tempered with apprehension of further trouble
making by him after his retirement from office
for such blunder that which he has COM
mitted is likely seriously TO impair his pres
tige. He may again he stormy petrel of
politics" But he will be the creature not the
creator of the storm.
The important question, however is not per-
sonal but national. 1t is not what has happened
or will happen 10 Mr.. Clemenceau but what
will be the effect of the episode upon the well
fare of the French Republic. That question will
probably be answered in satisfactory man

The purpose OF the meeting TO enlarge the
general membership and increase the number

nurses to enroll now because of the approaching

American National Red Cross expects TO maintain

automobile ambulance service. with nurses in at

ner. The temper of the Chamber of Deputies
in refusing 10 countenance the Prime Minis
ters sneers at and structures upon the Algeclras
Conference was most encouraging. There Is
no reason to fear that the change of ministry
will be followed by any detrimental change OF
governmental policy. Nor is return to the
wretched system of ministerial instability prop
able The Republican bloc" will doubtless be
maintained and the new ministry may be more
enduring than the old. There is no dearth OF
statesmen in France competent to hold the port
folios of state If, as a result of the circum-
stances of Mr.. Clemenceau's fall. Mr.. Delcasse
should be recalled to office, either as Prime
Minister or Minister of Foreign Affairs, the
friends of France would rejoice and the inter
