that halcyon period. half a century and

B0MBARDMENT OF TOWNS.
War Barbarity Which Hague Treaty
Sought to Prevent.

from the Philadelphia Press.
One particularly barbarous feature OF
warfare that the world ought by now To
have outgrown is the bombardment of
towns. There is provision in The
Hague treaty OF 1907 against the BON
bardment of towns. villages. dwellings
or buildings which are undefended" anu
a further restriction 10 the effect that
pesiegers. In firing on a fortified town.
should respect. as far as possible. build
ings dedicated to religion. art science or
charitable purposes. historic monuments
hospitals and places where the sick and
wounded are collected. provided they are
not being used at the time for military
purposes" The besieged are required TO
mark such buildings with distinctive and
visible signs"
To respect merely the letter Of these
clauses Is far less than civilization toda,
expects. Take the case. for instance OF
the bomb-carrying airship. the use OF
which should certainly be confined TO
dropping explosives on actual fortitica
tions. bodies of troops or fleets. There
Is one report that German Zeppelin
dropped a bomb into the main square OF
the French town OF Luneville annihilat-
ing body Of infantry and blowing on,
the wall of the principal church. The
truth of the story. which exists in dif
ferent versions. is not SO much in ques
ton as the possibility of such an oc
currence. Little doubt attaches to the re
port that the German army is now she'll
ing the Belgian town of Liege and pos
sibly Namur; an action which not onl,
hurts ones sense of fair play, but en-
dangers many buildings that are price
less records of the past. historically ana
architecturally.
The greatest crime against art and
civilization in the annals of modern his
tory was the shelling of the Parthenou
at Athens by an Austrian feet The
Turks, II is true. had used the ancient
temple as powder magaz zine and thur
made the act one that would still be
| sanctioned by the rules of war. Yet
what man OF intelligence and culture but
ocean rather than one Parthenon shat
tered?
The Belgian towns are rich in cathe-
drals, churches and town halls dating
from the middle ages or the renais-
sance. The cathedral at Antwerp. for
example, Is one of the great cathedrals
OF Europe: the churches and civic
buildings of Liege and Namur are per
haps less important but date from az
advance toward France or the sea
coast they must pass through many
such towns. We shall repair the
wrong we are doing as soon as our
military aims have been reached said
the German chancellor last TUESDAY.
What the civilized world wants. how
ever. is guarantee against wrongs
pair. In the light of Germany's re-
cent disregard of all treaties and agree
ments. has the world any such guar
antee?
