the filing of the patrolman's will,

investigation conducted into eight
other deaths that have occurred in
her circle of immediate associates

Although Mrs. Vermilya is under

both the police and coroner admit
they have no evidence on which to

PEACE TREATIES
SAYS REVOLT IN CHINA AND

New York, Nov. Theodore Roose.
welt has an article on Arbitration,
Pretense and Reality" in the current
number of the Outlook 1t says in
part:
surely the real friends of peace in
this country ought to be able to profit
by the events that have happened in
China and in the Mediterranean dur
ing these very fall months, since the
arbitration treaty was considered in
the senate.
During these months we have seen
a widespread revolt in China with
utter disorganization of the empire
and we have seen war Unexpectedly
break out between Italy and Turkey.
In China there had doubtless been
much excuse for the revolt because
tyranny and misgovernment has been
greater than an any really civilized
nation, and they have an army very
much less efficient than that of any
civilized power.
"As for the Italy and Turkish war,
am not now concerned with it's ethi-
cal justification. Personally | believe
Tripoli should fall under European
control, just as 1t is in the interest
of humanity that Morocco shall so
fall; just as it has been of immeasur,
able benefit to mankind, and especial
ly to Algerian and Egyptian mankind
that Algeria and Egypt should fall
under the control of France and OF
England. But this is not the point
The point is that this war proves the
utter inefficiency of paper treaties
when they are unbacked by force
the utter folly of those who believe
that these paper treaties accomplish
any purpose on the stage of this
worlds development when there is NJ
force behind them; and finally no
merely the folly, but the iniquity o
making treaties which there is no rea
intention of putting into effect.
Turkeys treaties with various Ecu
ropean powers explicitly guaranteed
her integrity and on the mere techni
