Slavery to names is often the most Iamentably efficient obstacle in the way of fcaltv to ideals. The machine politician himself usually has not the smallest scruple concerning party regularity and has not a sentiment of any kind in connection with al lcgiance to his party. But he trades on the fact that his dupe, the good average citizen, does possess this scruple and feels this sentiment.

The latest and most horrible OF Ter
man atrocities was revealed by an
Italian Yesterday, who recently returned
from Europe, and confessed TO Trib-
une reporter under the seal of strictest
secrecy that the Germans might become
cannibals. He said:
Military necessity is the only recog-
nized law in Germany to-day. II the
blockade by England compels Germans
10 starve. they will not pause before
the ultimate demands OF that necessity.
They will eat their prisoners Of war.
When shown this statement, Major
A. +. Piorkowski. a griZzled German
military officer in this city, said with
out batting an eyelash:
well. now we understand Why the
Germans have been making so many
prisoners Of war lately. But, to be
fair. rather think that they are more
particular what they feed their stom-
achs. even in times Of war. II may be
possible that prisoners of war may be
fed 10 horses specially trained in car

CONFERENCE URGES

Adams in Chair.

Chicago. Feb. 27.-Miss Jane Adams
presided to-day at the National Peace
Confcrence at which a conference OF
the neutral powers was urged TO medl-
ate between the warning nations, with
out the necessity of an armIstlce, while
the war continues. This is known as
the " sconsin Peace Plan and was pre-
scented by John A. Aylward, Of Madison
Wis. BY this plan a method or ccutIaI-
ling all navies and ornaments, placing
them in the hands of peace league,
Was suggested.
An address, by Rabbi Stephen s. Wise,
Of New York. was read at the confer
ence. Dr.. Wise held that the absence
of women from the councils of state
was partially. il not wholly, 20 ac-
count for the present war. He said
that dipiomacy's hidden methods was
one OF the Ultimate causes Of all wars,
including the present.

Some outlet for the passion of men
TO serve and strive together, some OPP
portunity for the play OF the social in
stinct which burns within men is abso-
lutely necessary. Men must be given
some great and reslStless call to servi e
that merges the individual in the com
munity. II you will not let men march
and stand and serve together they will
stand and observe and battle against
one another.
The new emphasis Of the peace
movement must be constructive. pro-
