And TO make the reference more timely. in

Ii has been remarked with such frequency

tho individual men behind the guns in Europe

1t seems TO a mind accustomed to think
OF large bodies merely long repetition Of

ought TO be punished where crime has been
committed. But possibly tho thing that liz
criminal in an individual. such as murder,
is not criminal when committed by large
numbers OF people at the instigation OF an
individual who happens to have power to
enforce his suggestion. The inciter of
wholesale murder is excused because he is

It's queer old world, anyhow. If all in

When Slaughter Is Wholesale

TT Is significant that from Austerlit. in
1906 to Sedan in 1870 France has been
compelled to stand alone. and that for the
first time in century she has allied support
against her natural enemy Germany. If it
means anything. IL means clearly that the
Kaiser has invited against his country a
solid alignment of civilized Europe. not be-
cause OF any inherent German fault in the
premises, but because Europe will have no

certainly as the United States demanded the
elimination of lIuerta in Mexico, the rest Of
Europe is demanding the elimination Of the
Kaiser. and affairs so forward day by
day this fact is being more definitely indi-
Gated. II would be not at all surprising if
this elimination were included in peace
terms. when peace terms come up for
discussion.
