AuTocRAcY IN WAR
When autocracy makes war 1t hest
tates at nothing.
Who could conceive of an Ameri-
can army officers numbering women
and mangling children by bombs hurl-
ed from an airship at night into a
sleeping city?
Who could imagine an American
soldiers raining death from the sky
upon unsuspecting and helpless non
combatants and upon wounded pris-
oners in hospitals flying the Red
Cross flag?
Who could picture an American ad-
miral's ruthlessly sowing the deep
sea with mines to destroy the ships
and sailors Of neutral nations en-
gagged in the pursuits Of peaceful
commerce?
Who could think Of American troops
grimly engaged in shooting down dis
armed peasants who had tried to de-
fend their little possessions?
1t is all unthinkable. No American
officer who did what the Germans
have done at Antwerp who did what
the Germans have done In the North
sea, who did what the Germans have
done in Belgium, could withstand for
single day the avalanche Of Amer
lean criticism. His own people
would instantly repudiate him as a
barbarian and no excuse Of military
advantage over the enemy would be
accepted or tolerated. The nation
would declare with one voice that the
American people did not make war
that way and wanted no victories
won in that manner. Even Germans
in the United States who are eager
to defend everything that German
autocracy has done in Antwerp and
in Belgium and on the North sea
would be quick to protest against
J such insensate massacre II the blood
of the innocents stained the hands

Autocracy offers in its own defense
the excuse that the practices com
planned of are not expressly forbid
den in the articles of war. But the
articles of war, like the treaty tina;
guaranteed the neutrality OF Belgium
are "a mere scrap of paper"
They, too, can be enforced only
with fire and sword.

NEW FRENCH NEcKWEAR-
is Ut EQUAL TO OURS?

Paris. The knowing ones say that
America has better neckwear than
France, and that a greater variety OF
things is to be found in our shops
than in those Of Paris.
Possibly. But the idea in neck
wear, as well as in the rest OF
clothes, sprung in the rue de la PAX
and copied at once on the Boulevard
Haussmann, from which spot 1t drifts
into the world. The word drift Is
scarcely appropriate connected with
any fashion. The word leap Is bet
ter for one part of the world knows
what the other part is wearing so
quickly that the fashion reporter Is
compelled to be h mental subject.
America rarely accepts the French
neckwear entirely; it plays upon the
general theme and produces fashions
of its own. First it took the Medeci
collar and put 1t into muslin ana
made the turnover part most pro
nounced. Then 1t used the Robes
pierre in several ways; 1t never quite
adopted the Gladstone in its original
lines. but France also changed this
model quite materially before 1t be-
came popular.
The stir Rolling Collar
Now there Is new collar in the
French shops. 1t is made Of muslin,
I'm bright colors like turquoise blue
and watermelon pink and amethyst
purple. 1t is formed exactly like
the yoke put collar. 1t Is a turn
over, both sides Of which are OF
equal depth, but instead Of being fiat
tened out, 1t is deity rolled at the
edge.
There is no trimming on 1t be-
yond a line of hemstitching or OF
hand embroidered French dots. 1t
does not reach far down In front,
and the neckband is slipped into the
surplice front of white blouse or a
dark blue frock.
Shirts Match Collars
The size, the stiffness, and the
bright celebration of these yoke col
lars give such emphasis to blouse
that many smart women have deter
mined to match them with liner
skirts.
For instance, many of the smart
costumes going to Deauville have
very short plain skirts of watermel'
on pink linen with full white blouses
having long satin sleeves finished at
the neck with yoke collar OF pink
muslin.
With this costume are worn pink
and white striped stockings-those
accordion stripes that are quite pref
ty-and the new white canvas pump
with the smooth rubber sole and no
heels.
The sailor hat is of white satin
with an enormous black velvet poin
setta at the back.
There are all kinds OF collars and
designs In these new collars. There
are plenty OF black and white stripes
and women who like more brilliant
touch of color than a plain surface
gives are taking up the MartiGe stufrs
with their broad stripes against which
are backed brilliant flowers.

AN UNHAPPY SUGGESTION

Medical zeal sometimes runs be-
yond bounds. One of the most radi
cal suggestions ever made In meet
ing Of the American Medical Asso-
citation is that the public welfare
would best be conserved by subject
ing every man, woman and child in
the ninety odd millions of American
citizens to compulsory physical ex-
animation once every year.
N might be better for everybody to
have such an examination. Many
men who can afford a thorough phys
ical examination every twelve months
have such an examination made.
But the public resents the cocksure
ness Of the medical mans attitude.
The public knows the doctor Is by no
means an infallible being, that he
makes mistakes in diagnosis, in
treatment and even in his recommen-
dations as to sanitary measures. Like
everything else that has hint Of
compulsion in it, this suggestion
would be fought N the last ditch by
a very great percentage of the popu.
lation.
When the time como that q doc
tor knows as much about his work
and makes as few mistakes as the
electrical expert or the architect,
then there might be chance for the
adoption OF such a suggestion. But
medical science changes too rapidly;
it's truths" of yesterday are the ex-
ploded theories of today. From its
very nature 1t lacks in that exact
ness and surety which it must attain
before 1t can herd the population
meekly before 1t for an annual physi-
cal examination.
Such suggestions always do more
or less harm. They furnish the ene-
mics of medical progress with much
ammunition wherewith they attack
medical tyranny. They are better
left unmade until there Is at least
a faint hope of their partial public
approval.

AN 'EMeARoo' ON GRAIN

AN 'eMoAhSO YIN SNAIN
Some ardent advocates of peace
have suggested that the United
States put an end to the worldwide
war by placing an embargo on food
products to be shipped to belligerent
nations. An embargo is an act OF
war. We tried several-of doubtful
notwithstanding the period
preceding the war OF 1912 and did
not like them. The principal suffer
ers were our own people, they did
not do any good and came near pro-
yoking rebellion. Congress Is ex-
pressly forbidden to levy export du-
ties. and that would seem to make
embargoes impossible when the coun'
trv is not at war. To prohibit expor-
tation of grain to belligerents would
merely set up in business an army
of new middlemen in the ports oil
neutral nations whose people nave
retained their sanity.
Besides, the withholding OF such
surpluses OF grain as we have IRON
the belligerents would not stop an!
war. although 1t might cause the
death from starvation of some WON
en- and children and old men at home
pending the time when they could ad
lust themselves to other food sup
plies. For when nations are determ
ined to fight they will fight, and the'
will manage to find something Il
eat.
, II is suggested as possibly desir
able thing that an embargo on grain
would tend to reduce the price o
flour and feed, which Is doubtless cor
rect, but 1t would also be likely u
create an uprising of "embattled far
mers" calculated to make the mem
DRY of Concord and Lexington lpoi

Probably there Is no intent on thu
part of any responsible person to la!
an embargo on anything, but thu
mere suggestion shows the disturbed

A STRANGE COMET
IS ABROAD IN
THE SKY
1T MAY BE SEEN EVERY MORN
ING ABOUT 4:3o; A POLICE
MAN SAID so

If you are star gazer and like to
see the unusual in celestial visitors,
arise about 4:30 o'clock tomorrow
morning and take a squint into the
northeast heavens, says Merchants
Policeman Pierce J. Murphy. There
before your gaze through a somewhat
dimmed sky now by the moon, you
will see pretty comet almost equal,
to the celebrated DeRake comet of
1910. And like that comet, it has not
been announced. SO far as known,
not a thing has been mentioned in any
OF the papers or by men of science re-
garding this comet.
To find the comet, arise at 4:3O o.
clock a. m. and look northeast. The
comet lies directly betewen the con-
stellation Hyades (the A-shaped clus-
ter of stars) and the first star Of the
big dipper.
A war comet is soon to appear but
according to astronomers this is not
yet visible and will be but a small
comet No one seems to know what
the name of this comet is.
At any rate, early in 1910, when the
papers were filled with stories of the
return of Halley's comet. which was
due in October that year, a comet,
very large and well defined and much
better than Halleys proved to be, sud
denly appeared early in the evening
in the southwest heavens. People
thought it was Halleys comet. In
stead it was discovered by man nam
ed DeRake and given the name of De-
Rake's comet. Halley's comet came
in October true to prediction, but it
was a frost compared to the exhibit
ton given by the unscheduled DeRake
tailed star.
Officer Murphy discovered the COM
ct seevral mornings ago. He told
representative Of The Optic about it,
so that the public might have chance
to see it.

TO PREVENT
INJURIES
CAMPAIGN FOR REDUCTION OF
ACCIDENTS WILL BE PROSE
CUTED VIGOROUSLY

In its campaign for the reduction of
accidents on electric railways the Am
erican Electric Railway association,
through its allied organization devot-
ed to the claims department, has or
ganized an accident prevention board,
which is to make its first report at
the thirty-third annual convention Of
the association to be held in Atlantic
City. October IL to 16. The Las We
gas Transit company is to be repre-
sneted at the convention, w. P. South
ard, general manager, told an Optic
representative today by w. A. Haller,
chief engineer and general superin-
tendent of the Federal Light and
Traction company.
Almost every electric railway com
pany, no matter what it's size, has dur
ing the past few years carried on eth
er by itself, or in conjunction with
civic organizations and municipal au-
thorities, accident prevention COM
palgns. The accident prevention
board aims to make a careful study
of these various campaigns, securing
the most efficient methods of educat-
ing both employees and the public in
safety first work and so standardize
the work of accident prevention that
companies may have at their disposal
the most efficient and best methods.
AS far as the employees are concerned
the general training is closely linked
with the work of accident prevention
and because of this fact both the en-
gi,.eering and transportation depart
ments are represented upon the board
which is composed Of representatives
of some of the largest electric rail
way companies in the country. The
general feeling among electric railway
men is that there is no more impor-
ant part of their work than that of ac-
cldent prevention and that a very
great amount of good can be done by
properly conducted compaign under
the auspices of this accident preven-
ticn board
The report is one or 73 reports on
various subjects to be heard at the
coming convention which it is ex-
pected will be attended by between
four and five thousand officers.
