To Eradicate Insane.

New York, Dec. 28.-Mentally de
fective criminals and incurably in
sane persons should be put to death
by the state. The world would b.
much better off if it were not for
these unfortunate individuals, and so
ciety, in self defense, should provide
for their legal determination. These
are the leading points in the startling
paper contributed by DR.. Edward Wal
lace Lee of this city to the current
issue of the New York Medical Jour
nal In his paper DR.. Lee blames in
toXicants, bad habits, drugs and ma
laria for causing a large percentage
of crime.
"The inmates of our penal insti-
tutions may be roughly divided into
three classes" says DR.. Lees paper;

and should never have been confined
those who should be treated with the
hope of cure, and those who should be

AUTOMOBILES WON
BATTLE OF MARINE
(By Franklin p. Merrick)

! Paris, Dec 24.-It is not generally
known that the Battle of the Marnc
was won by automobiles. General
/ Gallieni had 400 taxicabs and other
! light motor cars at his disposal. 1t
Twill be remembered that Won Kluck,
with the right of the German army,
got as far as Champiley. General
Gallieni, as military governor of Par
is, had large force, probably half
million men, at his disposal, and he
was responsible for the defense of
Paris.
Gallieni figured that he had more
men than he really needed and that
10000 of his men could be spared
for work at the front.
Acting entirely upon his own re-
sponsibility, he ordered his men to
crowd into the automobiles. He made
each taxicab carry nine soldiers. 1t
was a curious sight. There were two
in each seat, two on the hood, one
with the driver and one on each run
ming board.
Within six hours he threw the whole
10000 against the flank of the Ger
mans at MeauX, about 35 miles from
Paris. Won Kluck evidently had not
reckoned with such sortie. He was
forced to stop and give battle. The
French, retiring on his front, re-
formed and gave battle. The result
was the retreat of the Germans from
the Marne to the Aisne after the san
culinary battle named from the first
river.
This is only one of the great Eek
ploits of the French army automobile
transport service. No other nation
in this war has used the motor car
with the effectiveness of the French.
The automobile transport service is
organized as a separate branch.
Working with amazing rapidity just
after the beginning of the war, the
French army officers drafted into this
corps men who had been employed in
automobile manufacture - foremen.
Ekilled workmen, testers and drivers.
! The officers were drawn from the
manufacturers, agents and other
heads of automobile organizations.
| The heaviest trucks are used for am
munition carriers and lighter COM
mercial vehicles for the food supply.
| General Mongin commands the whole
corps.
Some noted French race drivers are
now in the army service. Boillot al
ternates with the Marquis D'Albufera
ir driving General Joffre's car. Sew
eral machines are kept ready day and
night for General Joffre and it is no
unusual thing for him to enter one
of them and drive the whole length
of the battle front in the course of
the night.
There are now $4,000 automobiles
and 10000 trucks in the service of the
French army.
One of the automobile service corps
! biggest feats was the transfer of the
British army from Braisne, between
Soisne and Rheims, to st. Omar, a
distance of ITO miles. The 100000
men were transported to their new
positions within three days.

Recall Principle at Stake.

The senate has a duty in this CON
test which cannot be shirked. The
principle of the recall itself is al
stake. If word goes out over the
country that in California an official
who has offended the tenderloin, may,
under forged petition or an irregu
larly circulated petition, be deprived
! of his office, other states will be slow
about adopting the recall.
The corrupt element at San Fran
cisco has brought the referendum in
to disrepute by employing forged ref
erendum petitions to hold up laws
enacted by our state legislature.
That same San Francisco tenderloir
must not be permitted to bring the
recall into disrepute also. More is al
stake than Senator Grants right to his
seat in the senate. A great principle
is at stake. And it, is up to the sen
ate of The State of California to see
TO it that that great principle is jeal-
ously guarded.
/ To deprive man of his office be
cause he has offended the tenderloir
is bad enough. To permit, in addi
ton, of his being deprived of his of
flee by irregular procedure cannot be-
tolerated Nevertheless, those wht
are seeking to punish" Senator Gran
for being decent in the state senat
are whispering about that the senat
must not be too nice about insisting
upon the recall provisions of the con
stitution being followed.
But this is just what common sens
dictate the senate must insist upon. |
