What War MOUes Mean
BY J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, Jan. O.-Once more
the futility of an offensive attack
from the air has been demonstrated;
once more women and children have
been killed as the result Of useless
experiments with aerial weapons. The
science Of warfare has not mounted
to the heavens. Valuable Obscrva-
tions can be made from above. but
death and destruction cannot be
rained down except upon the limo.
cent more than the guilty.
This is the constant air lesson Of
the war, emphasized anew by The
aerial raid last night upon England.
Civilians are prohibited from making
war on the enemy. and the strict
application of the German military
code In Belgium has demonstrated
what fearful penalties arc imposed
I'D arms against soldiers in uniform.
But attacks, 1t seems. can bs de-
liycred against women and children
by aerial soldiers not only without
incurring penalties, but also without
loss of military honor. The civilian
has no rights. He can be murdered
with impunity II military reasons re-
QuiPe that no warning or q OOmDafd-
ment be given TO him; and II he
resjsts. he makes himself an outlaw,
to be summarily shot.
II an immense military advantage
were obtainable by promiscuous
bomb-dropping on innocent towns.
no protest COULD be considered, for
an army will mot sacrifice itself to
save civilians: but when serious
military gains are practically i'm
possible and certainly improbable.
the rules Of war should give civilians
the benefit Of the doubt. Otherwise
war moves OF this character de-
veiop an intense hatred which will
endangrr the international situation
Tor long wears after the war SAds.
This is one reason why, as q strate-
etc measure. modern armies ara
supposed to treat civilians with all
possible consideration.

ing They Would Assist Ma.
tionaI Defense Movement.

To aid in building up the military
strength OF the country. veterans OF
the SPANISH American and Philippine
wars were urged today by Lieut.. Col.
A. l.. Parmerter. u. 8. A., adjustant
general OF the District National Guard.
to enlist in the citizen-m either as
active guardsmen or members Of the
Reserve Corps.
In a letter to the officers of all the
United Spanish War Veteran camps.
the Army and Navy garrisons and tho
posts of Veterans Of Foreign Wars.
Colonel Parmerter states that by join
ing the National Guard. the "men will
not only be performing a duty that
every man owes to his country. but
they will also keep in close touch with
Va profession they must be interested IN
or they would not be members of the
veteran organizations"
Colonel Parmerter's appeal reads in
part:
"At this time when there is SO much
agitation and interest displayed In the
matter of national defense. the con-
certed action of the different veteran
| organizations Of Washington toward
for -arding such movement would
have great weight.
THE duties Of the reservist in time
Of peace are not hard. He Is required
to report for inspection and muster
twice a year. fire the course Of small

! campment. In time of war the reservist
would. OF course. perform active duty
