SELLING WAR MUNITIONS.

When it comes to the moral ques-
ton involved in the sale of munitions
of war by citizens of neutral ma
ton to belligerents we are confront
ed with one of that class of questions
in which amateur reformers are apt
to be misled by generalizations.
In general no one will deny that
war is murder and to kill men is
morally wrong. Since this is true,
must not those who furnish the weap.
ons with which that killing is done
have their share in the evil?
On the surface it would appear
that the manufacture and sale of ar
ticles designed to kill men, involves
degree of responsibility for every
death which results from the use of
such articles. And for permitting its
citizens to engage in this traffic in
arms, there are those, generally per-
sons with a partisan interest, how
ever, who would place upon the United
States responsibility for Continuing
this year" Now that is rather NOR
bid view of responsibility. The Am
erican people did not begin this war,
and those who brought it upon them
selves are asking good deal if they
should expect us to act as their guard
ians and stop their fighting in spite
of themselves by refusing to let them
have the necessary instruments. No
one would feel there was anything
morally wrong in selling an individual
a revolver to defend his home against
the vicious attack of burglar. In
this war each side claims to be fight
| ing in the defense of all that is just
and holy. The United States is in
no position to go into the merits Of
these claims. 1t can only keep an
open market where all who feel they
have just cause can get weapons,
and trust hat the right cause will
win.
A consideration of the practical re-
suits ought to be convincing. Sup
/, pose the United States should pro-
hibit this traffic, and as a result there
should be established new principle
of international law that neutral ma
tions may not sell munitions of war
to belligerents. What would such n
rule accomplish? 1t would simply
mean that no nation at war may pur-
chase supplies outside its own terri
tory. Then the weaker, more peace
able nations would be wholly at the
mercy of the strong and warlike. The
nation which took the offensive would
have every advantages; for the often
sive nation would lay in supplies while
its neighbors were engaged in peace
full industrial occupations. 1t would
seize the moment when its rivals were
unprepared to defend themselves as
the occasion for attacks, and then il
those who were defending their homes
against invasion were unable to buy
arms in foreign market their cause,
however just, would be lost.
knowledge of this danger would
mean that every nation would have to
keep its military preparations to a
maximum degree of efficiency all the
time. A larger amount Of energy
than ever before would be withdrawn
from the useful arts of industry and
turned to the manufacture of military
equipment. The rivalry of war prepa-
rations even in times Of peace would
be greater than ever before.

lagos are near together We drove
through many OF them without seeing
anybody but women and children.
France has called all her able-bodied
men to her armies and they are in the
trenches.
Starting out from Chateauroux on
the morning of our second day, we
had another automo bile ride of just
seventy miles, bringing us to the fam
Gus city of Orleans. By some means
the gasoline in my car had become
mixed with water, or water with gaso-
line. We had all kinds of troubles,
and when our car stopped all the
chauffeurs and mechanics from the
other cars gathered around ours to
give advice and to make remarks and
possibly to swear. l do not know
enough Of Franch to know when a
man is swearing. But our handsome
young mechanic would be able to coax
our car to run for a couple of miles
then the affliction would break out
again. Finally our stopping became
quite regular and the occasion of some
amusement. Our mechanic conquered
in the end and then we made great
speed, reaching the city of Orleans
on the beautiful rives Loire with an
hour to spare before our railway train
should leave for Paris.
Visits the Cathedral.
OF course we hurried to see the cele-
brated cathedral whose foundations
were laid thousand years ago, noted
as one of the handsomest and largest
cathedrals in France. But Orleans oc-
eupies a place in history not because
it is seventy-five miles southwest of
Paris; not on account of its cathedral; /;
not on account Of the river Loire and,
not because it has 10000 population,
but because it was the scene of the
heroic and emotional conduct of
Jeanne dare, who in the year 1929
took the leadership of small portion
OF .he French army and led it to an
assault upon the English garrison
which was holding Orleans, being pro
tected by Notifications.
Honor Jeanne dare.
The first thing the traveller looks
upon when he enters Orleans is some
sort Of monument 10, or statue
representing Jeanne dare. Then he
travels through a succession of mon
unents and statues till he comes to
tbs cathedral, and inside of it is n
grand group statue mado of marble
Of the heoric French girl, lately placed
behind the alter. Services were in
nIog' SIS and many men and women
welc at prayer. Therefore we did
lot disturb them to minutely observe
The statue but the young artist,
Charlie j. Payne of the London
Graphic, with his artistic taste ex-
slammed What a beautiful figure"
and mis- words expressed it.
IN the war of 1870 the Germans
captured Orleans, losing it again to
The French a month later, the city
going hgcE to the French at the con-
cluson II peace.
Our ourneys made complete cir
Gle and while seemingly long, did
not cover large amount of territory
but we learned of French agriculture,
the quiteness of French country life
had Il good look at the beautiful Loire
river and formed the acquaintance of
tive charming French officers and
