When the statement is made that the losses. through the conflict in
Europe have already reached a stupendous 100000 it is enough 20
take one breath away, it is almost uncomfortable, but yet how much
greater and how much more awful do the figures cen when they are
compared with something with which w e are more or less fanniaf.
This point va finely brought out last night in a paper read by E. +.
Patrick before the Leisure Hour club, in which he drew the following
simne:
1T has been stated on good authority that during the eight months
OF the a devastating Europe the casualties, meaning dead,
wounded and captured, amount to 100000, a n average of 100000 per
month. This refers only to ab1e-bodied men, the flower of their re-
spectve countries, between the ages of Is and s., and does not, Of
who by reason of deformiy, are unable to enlist or toe old to be &c
cepted as soldiers.
1.-THE city of Boston at the last census in 1910 had a population of
10000 This included, Of course, every man, woman and child within
the confines of that city
IF we will stop to consider this situation and apply it to a city
like Boston the appalling fact appears that ice each month since the
beginning OF the a the inhabitants of eight such cities as Boston, If
all were fulgrown men, have either been killed, wounded Or captured.
This takes n o consideration of the appalling misery, want, poverty,
restitution and distress imposed upon the women and children and other
non-combatants in the death, permanent disability and deprivation Of the
society OF their husbands, fathers and brothers

DECLINED WITH THANKS

The United States must respectfully decline to accept CONSTANT
nople at the hands OF the Allies, as proposed by DR.. Vernon Bartlett of
Oxford University. With every desire to be of service in assuring the
future peace of Europe, W regret that re cannot take Constantinop1e as
a gift or IN any terms. Not even to relieve the anxiety of IL good
friends across the Atlantic, says the New York World, would we be
willing to go that far in IL dsinterestedness. The offer is extremely
hattering, but nee more W. firmly decline with thanks.
For yer sixteen years the United States has been the fortunate
possessor of those gems and jewels of the Pacific that make up the

of Turkey as a favor to the governments of Europe, w shall insist upon

Treason.

The constitutional definition of treason is con

Treason against the United States shall consist
only in levying against them in adhering to

The statutory definition OF treason is contained

their enemies giving them aid and comfort, is guilty
of treason. a.

A Judge Who Did His Duty.

Judge Aspinwall, OF the New York Supreme
Court, is lacking in appreciation OF the dramatic
and also in that maudlin sympathy for those who
DEFY the law which has become so conspicuous in
criminal trials in recent years. A week ago a man
named White made dramatic confession in the
judges court. He stopped the court proceedings
with declaration of his guilt, and tore from the
lapel OF his coat the badge OF a fratcrnal order
confessing that he longer worthy Of its
adornment. 1t one OF those dramatic court
scenes find in the modern best seller" and it
should have moved the stern judge to tears but it
did The Judge was the ono individual in the
court room who not moved" as the prisoner
at the bar told of his rise in business to high
salaried and confidential position, how he was
wined and dined by his employer until he acquired
extravagant tastes, and 10 crafty them he con-
spired with professional criminals to rob his own
cashier. 1t touching tale with moral that
not the honest, industrious and capable bust
ness stand against the seductive influence
OF champagne lunch which leads directly to
champagne taste and the broad highway to perdi-
ton.
The mans employer who gave him his conf
dcncc and invited him TO lunch was morally re-
sponsble for his downfall. Every reader OF a
best seller auditor at Chautauqua lecture
could that the result Of the arrest and
confession, with nominal sentence and parole
the curtain fell the powerful, dramatic scene
Everybody in the court room did it apparently
save the judge. With eyes undimmed by tears
and voice unaffected by emotion the Judge adj
journed court with the announcement that the
sentence would be given in week. The climax
thus delayed but the prisoner at the bar
realizing that he had made great impression on
the spectators and the reporters. and later with
big headlines over his human interest story in the
sensational press, did not doubt that his employer
and not he would receive the condemnation of the
court
The court was crowded with sympa-
thizers and those who had taken the moral of the
trial to heart but had the prisoner been a student
the judge rather than the spectators he might
not have been SO confident when he rose with
debonnair manner to be told to go and sin no more
The judge was still judge, and he disposed of
the case with indeterminate sentence of not
less than seven and one-half years, and not more
than fifteen years. Then the judge unfeeingly
directed the balf to take the prisoner away. There
was no speech from the prisoners box as to why
sentence should not be passed, no cheers for the
judge and no crowding about the prisoner to con-
graduate him. There were no flowers and no dra-
mates. 1t was the matter-of-fact sentence of .
self-confessed highwayman who had robbed his
own confidential fellow employee
1t it should have been, and it demon
strated that Judge Aspinwal fully realized why
