Woman's Life May Be Cost
of Radium Theft in Hospital

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-Desperate but
unavailing search was made in
Chicago yesterday by the authorities
of st. Duke's Hospital for just tiny
speck of radium. The life OF a
woman was at stake. Radium alone
of all agencies known to man might
retard the growth of a quick cancer
from which she is suffering. The
tiny supply that~the hospital had on
hand disappeared some days ago.
Johns Hopkins University in Baiti-
more was asked to send q bit of
radium to Chicago. So was Bellevue
Hospital in New York. A similar re-
quest was cabled to Nine. Curie, the
discoverer of radium, in Paris. The
hospital authorities are hopeful that
some will be received in time. Miss
Marie Cotton, of Des Moines, Iowa,
is the patient. The case is such that
treatment with radium seems to be
the only resort.

JEDS PULL AWAY
FROM ROYAL TEAM
Take Three Games From New
corners, Who Have But
Three Men on Alleys.

With an advantage Of three full games
on the Royals in the District Duckpin
League, the Jeds are today in the van
OF the race in that circuit. and It Is
expected that this margin will be main
tained by them throughout the remain
der Of the season. captain Dulin's team
rolled a set Friday night with the New
comers, taking all three games by sub
stantial majorities. The wide margin
separating the teams in Friday night
match are the result Of the failure or
two members of the Newcomers to ap-
pear for the games. but the crippled
team went through with its games, de-
spite the handicap.
This stretching away to the front by
the Jeds gives that team an inroad on
the pennant which is most deserving,
because of the consistent games which
IL has rolled since the beginning of 1914
In it's last game with the Royals. the
Jeds met with misfortune in the very
last minutes of play, and FOR while 1t
I was feared that the runners-up in the
league could step into the front of the
procession. This setback, however. was
obviated by the result of the Jeds-
Newcomers set, and the former outfit
is now thought to have a lead in the
competition which will endure until the
schedule is comp, ted.
The District League has just entered
into the third section Of its schedule.
All of the sets are being rolled on
the Royal alleys, il being agreed that
this series should be staged on neutral
alleys. Entirely different alleys are
being used Tor this final series Of games.

enough to take care of itself for tn

enough to take care of itself for the
present; but France is not; yet
France is so great that if it could
be crushed there would be no other
states upon the continent in western
Europe that could claim any option
but to submit to whatever demands
Germany might make. Italy could
be punished for her recalcitrancy to
the triple alliance, Belgium, Holland
and Denmark annexed; the Balkan
states made appendages first of Aus
tria and incidentally of Germany,
and in short the German supremacy
extended from the Bosphorus to the
English channel.
But why limit the German ambi-
ton at the channel? England is
safe so long as England dominates
the seas, but no longer. Given to
Germany the power to extort from
the people of all central, western
and southern Europe contributions
for military purposes, power to
force the young men of all those
regions into her army and navy, it
would be matter of but few years
for Germany to build and equip a
navy more powerful than any the
English could build and maintain,
and Germany already has an army
that could overwhelm the British
isles, if only the command Of the
sea were hers.
And after Great Britain, what is
left for the German to covet? There
would be Russia, whose steppes
would be open to invasion as far as
the German might care to invade,
and the United States, the fairest
and best provided of all lands, but
not strong enough to contend with
a military and naval consolidation
of Europe. An ambition such as
that of the Hohenzollerns has no
limit but the earth, or such limit as
may be set by hostile arms. France
is sought as the kaiser's victim now,
and Belgium and other minor states
are incidental. Russia is to be stood
off as the occasion may require.
England's navy is to be outnumber-
ed with ships built from the contri-
buttons of conquered peoples. Let
the United States beware being the
only considerable obstacle to a
world greed.

"CIVILIZED WARFARE"

Sioux City Journal: The drop
ping of bombs from an airship upon
a fortified city is protested against
as contrary to the rules of civilized
warfare. The point seems hardly
worth making.
Looking at the technical side,
why is it any less brutal to drop an
explosive shell into a city from
dirigible balloon than to shoot it in
from a huge siege gun? In the one
case it drops straight down. In the
other it describes parabola. In
either case it destroys life and prop
erty when it bursts. In one case
the noncombatant fares as badly as
in the other.
BY the way, isn't it about time to
stop talking about "the usages Of
civilized warfare?" Can there be
anything about warfare that har-
monies with real civilization? If
so, what is it?
We used to permit warfare be-
tween individuals as a means of set
Ting disputes. 1t was considered
honorable for two men to go out and
fight each other with swords or
shoot at each other with pistols to
decide which had the right end of
grievance. 1t was a poor way OF
trying to administer justice. All it
decided was which was the better
shot or the better swordsman.
Throughout the civilized world to-
day men who have grievances
against each other are compelled to
go into court to settle them. There
is unanimous agreement that the
prospect of fair settlement Of in
dividual grievances has been there
by much improved.
Although we have abolished war
as an honorable method of settling
differences between individuals, we
retain it as an honorable method Of
settling differences between the COL
lections of individuals that go to
make up nations. How can this dis
crepancy be defended? If it is
wrong for an Englishman and
German to fight with pistols to de-
eide who owns an acre of land, how
can it be right for 100000 Eng
lishmen and 100000 Germans to
fight to decide which nation owns
100, 100000 acres of land? If the
fight may lead to an unjust decision
between two individuals the princi-
pie is not changed by adding largely
to the number of individuals inter
ested in the controversy.
"Civilized warfare is misnom-
err. When the world is fully civiliz-
ed nations will go into court to set
tie their troubles as individuals are
compelled to do now. There will be
Righteousness enough in the world
to see that international courts deal
strict justice. Until that time comes
we will have to put up with the
wrack and ruin of war. White toll
Grating it little substantial good
will be accomplished by insisting
that explosive shells shall be launch
ed periodically instead Of perpen-
dicularly.
