WHITE WINGED PEACE.
A Great Scheme For Avertine Wars In

A Great Scheme For Averting Wars In
the Future.
Writing on the difficulties of putting
an end to war. F. p. Dunno says in the
Metropolitan:
1t is an interesting theory that it is
not tough minded old statesmen who
drive tender youth to war 1t is youth
itself which tugs on the leash and pulls
the unwilling statesmen. We can well
believe that this Is so. The courage of
youth is pure fearlessness. The young
are not afraid of death. They regard
is as something that cannot possibly
happen to them. They apprehend it in
tellectually. but they do not feel 1t;
hence we propose to our fellow peace
commissioners this plan for averting
wars in future
In nearly every country there is n
maximum of age limit for enlistment
or CONSUMPTION. 1t is in the, neighbor-
hood of forty years. Now. why. in
the interests Of peace, would it not be
well to make minimum age limit in
stead? Suppose we say that on the
first call only men over sixty could be
drafted, and on the second only men
over fifty. and on the third only men
over forty. and no man under forty
could be permitted to fight
How long then would wars continue?
The first call would be answered by a
storm Of doctors certificates. the sec
ond by the prompt suspension of all
banks. and on the third call a body
Of resolute patriots who had long been
conscious that death regarded them
wistfully would proceed at once to the
palace or White House or ministry Of
foreign affairs and lynch the king.

THREE AIRMEN KILLED
Aviator and Passenger. in Germany
and ParmaIee at Yakima.

Bremen, Germany, June 3.-Albert
Buchstaetter, one of the best known
German aviators, and his passenger,
Lieutenant Stille of the Germany
army, were killed Sunday when THEN
rmenoplane plunged to the ground
just after starting on the northwest
aviation circuit of 425 miles.
The monoplane, guided by Buch-
staetter, rose and was taking a curve
preparatory to Strengthening out for
the long journey when the accident
occurred. Apparently the aviator
plane dropped so heavily that it was
half buried in the earth and nae to
be AXE apart before the bodies of
the two men could be extricated.
Fifteen professional aviators with
members of the army aviation corps
as passengers had entered the contest,
but after the accident the flight was
messed by, a. distinguished gathering,
among which was the grand duke of
O~ldenburg.
Buchstaetter was an experienced
aviator and had made several notable
flights during 1911.
Parmalee Killed at Yakima.
North Yakima, Wash, June B.
With a smile and a wave of his hand
to the thousands who watched him,
Philip O. Parmalee, one of the
Wright aviators, took the air in the
teeth of a gusty west wind here Sat-
urday afternoon. Three minutes lat
er his broken and lifeless body was
dragged from beneath the wreckage
of his biplane in an apple orchard in
the lower end of the Mozee valley,
two miles from his starting point.
The exact cause of the disaster that
plunged him to death probably never
will be known.
