Unwritten Law in France.

The trial of Nine. Caaux for the murder of
Castor Camette in Paris terminated just as every
body expected it would-in the womans acquttal.
There was no shadow of doubt of her intent or of
the ferocty with which she carried it out nearly all
of the half dozen shots she fired at her victim taking
effect but the prosecutor himself suggested that the
crime possibly not premeditated and hence the
way made clear for the unwritten law to pre-
vail The verdict be scoffed at or criticised
in this country with the old adage about glass houses
in mind 1t is much the custom in this country
as it is in France to acquit women who kill men,
though recent criminal annals do not reveal a
murder for cause sresemblng closely the Of
which MIME Caillaux has just been acquitted.
Newspapers in this country have devoted much
to the exciting and dramatic Partisan court
scenes and episodes, but after all the emotions and
impulses which inspired them differed not at all from
those which have swayed many crowded court rooms
on this side of the water; only in Paris they were
given more violent expression, not even the judges
and court officials imposing any restraint upon mani
festations of their feelings.
The circumstances leading to the murder were,
happily, peculiarly Partisan The trial scenes and the
verdict cannot be described as altogether un-Amer

Great War a Day Nearer.

A great European conflict apparently is day
nearer. Austria-Hungary, having formally declared
war, prepares to do her whole will with Serva with
so far no hand raised to stay her The eyes of the
world now turn to St; Petersburg for signs of the
fate of Europe Great Britains plan to bring about
mediation has necessarily failed because of Austria
Hungarys rejection in advance of any negotiations
contemplating the granting of all her demands and
of Germany's refusal to be party to interference
with her program.
The outside world is not permitted to see behind
the scenes in the drama European politics
is a game of mystery and intrigue. The crisis has
progressed to the present stage for reasons known
only in the inner circles of diplomacy and in the
palaces of kings and emperors. 1t may be true that
a word from the Kaiser would have restrained Aus
tria-Hungary as of the dispatches intimate and
if the mighty clash comes civilization may stahd
appalled, that the word not given without knowing
the reason why. Likewise it is surmised that the
efforts of the powers not involved viii be directed
toward conhning hostlities to stria-Hungary and
Sevia- Some tremendous influence would be neces-

GRADE CROSSING DANGERS.

It II understood that the saddest thing
about the death Of the veteran fagman
was that his life was lost in protecting
some little children from the danger OF
an oncoming express train and that II
he had not been making efforts to pro-

have been killed by the freight train
that was switching at the crossing. An
accident at Chestnut street crossing
might not terminate in favor of some

to eliminate the crossing before an accI-

II has been said that 'post-mortem
kindness does not cheer the burdened

fragrance backward over the weary

Vice President Marshalrs complaint against the
new traffic regulations which prohibit the keeping of
automobiles standing in Fifteenth street or H street
for more than fifteen minutes at time may be well
founded, but if the Vice President is justified in
protesting because his automobile must wait for him
in Vermont avenue, short block away, it would
seem that business men, whose establishments are
much further removed from the thoroughfare desig-
mated for parking purposes have greater reason to
complain The suggestion that hotel luncheon parties
will be inconyenienced by the regulations is not
convincing Obviously some rule is necessary to
