Rights of Worlds Childhood Should
 Be Treated by Signers of Wars Peace International Protectorate Will Ask Magma Chara from Delegates to the Hague Guaranteeing Rights of
 Future Citizens.

If indeed this be q war for peace, peace that proffers some field of life to the weak, then shall not childhood send it's embassy to plead at whatever conference restates the equity of nations? Not war babies not war orphans merely. but the whole status of childhood in the world shall find q voice at the war's end. If the plan of the Unconditional Welfare League to make the cause of child hood heard to gain the worlds car wins.
 Dr. c. Stanley Hall. Dr. Albert Shaw Anthony Camietti and Mrs. Florence Kelley are among tho officers of this league, which asks that; not the mere feeding and cloting of children orphaned By the war is. enough As well, they feel that by some construc- tive and educational plan the child hood of the future must be protected against tho evils bred of wars and tho cause of childhood given some self reliant strength through a code of children's rights---an international Magma Charta, that shall diminish raternalism and ring in new dem- ocracy
 Most Pitiable figure.
 "The child is the most disregarded and pitiablc figure in the whole war drama of Europe today" eaid Edward F. Brown, author of the plan for this international protectorate, to me. "The father IS removed from the family. The mother is put into the factories that she may perform the work of men And the child is left without it's natural protectors. Little of noth- ing Is done to save this future citi- zen, and he is left to care for him. self as best he can.
 "Tens of thousands of boys are working in the fields of Great Britain instead of being in schools, and the schools. according to an educational iournal which I received from London are being used for the accommodation Of the soldiery.
 Manned By Women.
 "The ammunition factories of Eng land are manned by women who are the mothers and the prospective mothers of the race, for the men are either a war or disinclined to work. starvation has given these poor worn- cn into labor beyond their natural strength. This Is but one of the many abnormal conditions Of the world war, and it means that future generations will not yield sound babies to support the Ideal of peace.

 When the information is gathered from all the countries with sugges- tions from the leaders of thought the international Child Welfare League will call an international conference on child care. This league plans to have this conference take place in some European capital, preferably at The Hague.
 At the conference it is hoped there will be formulated an international Code of Child Care and the Embassy of childhood will be selected, the function of which win De to secure representation at the ultimate peace conference of the world powers. There an International Magma Charta of Childhood will De demanded.
 Statement of Rights.
 The proposed contents of the Chil- dren's Magma Charta are statement of the rights of the child a construc- tive program of legislation to pro- tect the children of the world, irre- spective of nativity. and a definite plan for the immediate relief of con- dftions brought on by the war such as the care of prospective mothers of war babies and the care and the lesi-

CHARLES FROHMAN

The horror of the Lusitania dis
aster is too fresh in mind to permit
analysis of the loss the theater has
sustained in the death of Charles
Frohman. Practically a new stand
ard of theatrical values must be es-
tablished to provide a place for him
in the history of the stage.
He stood for all that was best in
the drama in America and England.
His name was a guarantee of con-
scientious effort in production, in
acting, and in the play itself. One
or the other of this trinity sometimes
failed him-but it was seldom. And
a Charles Frohman failure was of
ten better in one or the other of
these theatrical unities than the
average managers success.

goers, he has a record of a greater
number of successes, a greater num-
ber of artistic productions, a greater
number of real stars of the stage de-
veloped under his management, than
any other producer of plays in this
country or Europe.
Constantly adapting practical
ideas to ideals, theory to practice and
art to the commerce of the theater,
his career was unique and his effort
leaves mark toward which his sue
cessors must constantly strive if
they would profit by any of the ira
ditions he made or fostered.

WILL CHURCHILL 60?

No event of the war has so
startled and amazed the British peo-
pie as the sinking of the Lusitania.
1t is CHASTITY proof that the sub
marine warfare is not an empty def
ance, that England surely has foe
to dread. 1t will revive the hostility
to Churchill, a civilian, as first lord
Of the admiralty. 1t emphasizes as
a fact what England has believed
to be impossible, that the destruction
of her commerce may be encom-
passed.
In times of peace it is we'll and
advisable for a civilian to preside
over military forces. 1t provides a
check against militarism, and is a
bulwark against imperialism. But
the ideal of military force in war
time is absolute and efficient profess
sional military control.
Churchill has not satisfied Great
Britain, and under his administration
the British navy has fallen short of
the worlds expectations. The Ger
mans have bombarded the British
coast, and German war vessels in
fest British waters, despite the fact
that in every naval arm England far
outclasses her enemy. On the other
hand, the German coast is virgin, so
far as British descents upon it are
concerned.
1t is not impossible that the Lusi-
tania disaster will create a demand
in Great Britain for a national cabi-
net. The nation is just awakening
from it's dream of complete security.
It is beginning to realize that there
is a national peril. All her genius,
all her resources must be employed
in the national interest. 1t is not a
matter for party decision, but re-
spects the safety of the nation and
of the empire, requiring the utmost
Of the nations ability and skill, re-
gardless of party, and of the en-
pire's assistance. But the present
and pressing question doubtlessly
will be whether Churchill shall 90.

pose Of attacking a single ship they
have every chance Of succeeding"
The writer aseribes the attack in the
Lusintania to the failure Of Germany's
original plan and her desire to re-estab-
llsh g. reputation for her submarines
Therefore it is probable, he says. that
several submarines were withdrawn
from a general attack on commerce to
achieve a great coup in catching the
Lusitania.
The Daily Express declares that If
the Lusltania was unconvoyed and un-
guarded the nation has every right to
Archibald Hurd the weu-krown
naval expert Of the Daily Telegraph,

ity that the largest number OF the most
efficient German submarines was as

the question whether the United States

the Whereabouts OF the vessel.
The Standards naval expert saws
there Is some difficulty in accepting the
suggestion that the work was accom-.
plished by a single submarine. The
ship was making 26 knots. and, although
her tonnage might not make rapid
maneuvering possible it was generally
believed in shipping circles that her
speed would save her from effective at
tack. IT Is considered doubtful whether
the largest and newest German suoma

and u knots submerged
Owing to the height Of her super,
structure the Lusitania was visible

Experts Ask WhyLiner

LONDON, May 9.-Expert comment
on the destruction Of the Lusitania and
the loss OF 60 many innocent women
and children, as we'll as non-combatant
men. is as restrained as 1t Is possible
to be in the circumstances. Yet, de-
spite the scientific character OF the
comments. the personal feeling of the
writer's controls them at times.
The expert of the Daily Express, for
instance, suggests that Ambassador
Won Bernstorf at Washington might be
arrested as an accessory before the fact
for murder and be sent to the electric
chair.
The Daily Telegraph comments: This
consideration will, we imagine, fix itself
in the minds of the American people:
The outrage was committed deliberate
ly, after notice"
The Morning Post says:
We find it little difficult to UNDER
stand how, with such warning and such
ample opportunities TO take all precau-
tions, the Lusitania was caught. The
conclusion is inevitable that the exact
course of the vessel must have been
marine. This is difficult to avoid but
uncomfortable to accept. AS TO the
precautions taken by the admiralty to
protect the vessel, We are, OF course.
quite in the dark"
The naval expert OF the Times in his
discussion says:
1T would seem to be a principle hith-
erto that each ship must look out for
herself. 1t is clear from the large
number OF British liners every day using
the ports and waters of the United King
dom that 1t would be quite impossible
TO interfere with thegeneral naval policy
against detaching destroyers and other
suitable craft TO conoy each Tnerchant
ship. To do so in the case of selected
boats, unless there were special national
interests to safeguard. would obviously
be unfair. If one ship Is to be pro-
teCted all would claim a right to similar
treatment.
1t is possible, OF course, that the dan
ger to the Lusitania had been somewhat
underestimated owing to the ineffective
