London, Oct. H.-London today was left
in a maze by the conflict Of reports
Of the belligerent powers. And 10 its own
war office It looked in vain for enlighten-
ment.
Interest centered upon the efforts Of
the Germans to gain advantage along the
coast with the prospect Of an attempted
invasion OF England by water or through
the air. The German Emperor's insis-
tent demand for the capture OF Calais
was taken to mean nothing less than a
serious determination. upon the part OF
the Kaiser to threaten England from the
straits Of Dover.
Admiralty In Silent.
The admiralty is silent on the German
report that all the British ships have
been forced to withdraw from the attack
before Nieuport and Ostend by the ac-
curacy Of the fire from the German big
guns. Also the admiralty ignores as
lacking confirmation the report that one
of the British ships was hit and is now
in flames.
Most startling Of the unconfirmed re-
ports of the day was that published in
a dispatch to the Evening News from
Rotterdam that Gen. Won Veseler, COM
mander Of the German army which took
Antwerp, had committed suicide by shoot
ing himself. One report was that the
conqueror Of Antwerp was overcome by
grief because, after opening the way for
the Germans to the coast, the supreme
command OF the troops operating against
the allies to the west Of the scene of his
triumph was given to the Duke of Wurt-

The Crank with the Pistol.

All recent attempts upon the lives Of public men
have been made by detectives. Gallagher, who shot
Mayor Gaynor, and Schrank, who shot Colonel
Roosevelt, adjudged mentally unsound. And
Mahoney, who has just tried to shoot Mayor Mitchell,
has every appearance of being irresponsible. Isn't
all talk. then, of anarchy and the yellow press
responsible for such assaults as these beside the
mark? Newspapers cannot be edited for lunatcs.
In public discussion it Is impossible to keep in view
the possible effect Of what Is said upon unsound
minds. Perfectly reasonable criticism OF public
man may inspire murder in the heart Of Schrank
or Mahoney.
The lesson of all these shootings is that too many
crack Drained persons capable OF homicide are
allowed at large. Even when they have evinced
their homicdal tendencies it is easy for them to re-
gain freedom and opportunity TO slay. A high
court has just decided in effect that when homi-
cidal maniac escapes from custody In state and
fees TO another he cannot be brought back But the
Thaws do not usually have to purchase freedom and
hide in another state Indulgent laws turn them
loose often to come back again after another killing
An Indifferent state allows crack Drained persons
like Gallagher, Schrank and Mahoney at large 10
multiply after their kind until finally some
serious crime brings them into confinement. The
state has many opportunities TO observe them and
decide whether they are safe to allow at liberty
The detectives under its eyes in the schools
They might be studied there. They likely TO fall
into the hands Of the police, for they usually
guilty Of minor crimes, or at least OF misconduct
and thus again they may be observed And it
might be made the duty OF physicians to report all
cases Of mental deficiency coming under their OBJ
servatlon
There are many thousands of possible Schranks
and MahOneys at large and the state is doing little
nothing protect itself from them to prevent
them from leaving many thousands Of descendants
Of their sort TO make the problem worse In the
next generation.

A Schoolboy Murderer.

The murder of the chauffeur Clute in Albany has
been a mystery for year. 1t is an even more
poignant mystery now that arrest has been
made and the public prosecutor thinks that the
slayer has been found.
If the theory of the prosecution is to be accepted
an eighteen-year-old schooboy, of good family,
means and unquesioned reputation, coming to AL
bany 10 attend dance, separated from his two
companions hired public automobile and after
driving into the country killed and robbed the
chauffeur. No motive unless robbery appears; for
Clifford, the accused boy, is not supposed to have
known Clute.
The circumstances are against the arrested lad,
particularly the finding of Clutes chauffeurs
license and other papers hidden in the house WHERE
Clifford stayed the night after the murder, the
house of of the lads with whom he came to
Albany to attend the dance. His clothing, more
over, was soed when he rejoined his companions
on the night of the murder Blood-staned gloves
found at the scene Of the crime bore the name OF
the cothier from whom the accused boy bought his
clothes.
The authorities have psychological riddle to
solve What would turn a youth Of apparent good
character, with no more motive for robbery than Il
rich mans son who had just been expelled from
school but had not yet told his father would have,
suddenly into murderer and robber? Either the
accused lad has been the victim Of set of cir
cumstances such is to be found only in the
pages Of fiction or be has heart that only nov
elist could solve. The story far as it has been
unraveed is not one that belongs in this everyday
world

True COLLEGE Democracy.

Ahout the livest movement in college education at
the present moment is the widespread effort 10
achieve more democratic college life. 1t may be
protested that true democracy is thing of the spirit
and will not come overnight for the whstling But
all the signs point to the view that much OF the
spirit is to-day at hand and that present efforts are
but designed to give that spirit prompt and full ex-
preston.
A good analysis of the difficulties which beset
democracy in our large Eastern colleges was made
recently by young Harvard graduate. The problem,
he said was to amalgamate In some fashion three
,eparate social classes-the compacent provincial
sts. the conscientious provnciasts and the bitter
orovincalists The first are the private school men

The most valuable and interesting men in college,
are the men who have fought their way up and into
college by sheer grit and intelligence.
Roughly, these three classes are in all our col
leges and the difficulty Of preventing their remain
ing separate and hostile is always present Each
class Is provincial in a sense more than the
young barbarians at the top, who hold themselves
-'9of from human beings whose clothes and man
Lers and parents are unlike their own. 1t is an
admirable promise for the future that the present
day college man is awake TO the needs Of democracy
and is ready TO fight for its principle in his alma
mater.

The RUPTURE with Huerta.

TN. rosult Of the final conference in Mexico City
between the American Charge dAfaires and the
Nexican Foreign Office makes it incumbent on
President Wilson to submit to Congress to-day the
question of obtaining reparation for the Tampco
incident General Huerta dubbed up to the last
moment of grace allowed him and is still unwilling,
for reasons of his own, to give proper satisfaction
TO the United States for the insult to its flag and
ifs uniform On the face Of the facts Congress can
do nothing but stand behind the President and
empower him to use whatever military force may
be necessary to compel a compliance with the
terms of his ultimatum.
That would not necessarily mean war with Mex
ico since from our point of view we are dealing
with an individual who has usurped power rather
than with the head of nation. We have never
recognized Huerta the President of the Mexican
Republic We do not hold the Mexican people as
& whole responsible for his insolent and dicatoral
attitude. large part of the Mexican population
is in arms against him and another large part sub
mits to his rule only as choice of evils.
IL Huerta could be eliminated all cause for bring
ing pressure on Mexico by Selling or blockading
its ports would vanish. Even if he should declare
war that declaration would bind only himself and
his immediate following. In the absence of fur

THE DEATH PENALTY
A Reader Points Out That Its Object
Is Wholly Humane.


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: our criminal laws are wholly
impersonal. When our legislators enact
these laws they are not having In mind
any individuals at all They neither
Judge nor con'ict. They simply warn
This they do by announcing beforehand
that whosoever shall commit the crime
named, he will be held to answer for 1t
before the legally constituted tribunal
Conviction however, would be evidently
little better than farce were no pun
ishment TO follow. The punishment is
but an expression Of the law-abidinS
citizens displeasure against the crime
Let no such displeasure be shown, and
the bonds Of social order would lie ire
trievably dissolved.
1t IL, therefore. an utterly false con-
ception which leads to the calling OF the
infection of even the death penalty an
act of revenge" or OF judicial muir
der" There is in II not the slightest
element Of either
1t is. Of course. an open question what
penalty it is. on the whole best to inn
pose on any given crime. Put whatever
it be, there is in it nothing which savors
in the least of cruelty. barbarity, vim
dictiveness or revenge. On the contrary,
its object IS wholly humane one-to
keep the ill-disposed from harminG the
well-disposed, and, so far as fear of the
consequences can do II, TO keep the in
tending criminal from harming himself.
