Cecil Rhodes used to take coop OF
hens on board to provide fresh eggs on
his numerous voyages between Eng
land and South Africa But those were
three weeks journeys, and not mere
five day crossing of the Atlantic.
Hence another prominent South Afri-
can parsonage was asked why he did
not follow Rhodes example and pro

laid eggs at sea. "Oh, don't bother

replied. but tip the bos'un who looks

INTERNATIONAL WAR
GREATEST OF CRIMES
So Says Arthur Macdonald in Paper
Read Before Meeting of Medico-
Legal Society.

international war is the greatest of
all crimes, Arthur Macdonald. a noted
criminologist Of this city, said in q paper
on. platform Of Criminal Anthropolo-
gist," which he read at the December
meeting Of the Medico-Legal Society, in
New York on December Il.
Degrees OF criminality should be es-
timated according to detriment to the
community" said Mr.. Macdonald. From
this point of view, international crime, or
war. is by far the greatest of all crimes"
Society has no right to permit prison.
ers to be released who will probably re-
turn to crime" said Mr.. Macdonald, in
another part of his address. Where it
is a question between justice and the
community the community should have
the benefit Of the doubt.
The prison should be a reformatory
and the reformatory a school; the object
of both should be to teach good mental,
moral and physical habits; both should
be distinctly educational. There should
be a minimum temptation to do wrong
and a maximum encouragement to do
right
Mr. Macdonald is the author of many
books on criminal anthropology. He was
connected with the bureau OF education
for many years, and has studied in this
country and in several European coun-
tries.
