The police commissioner of New York has
made the discovery that "in cities in the
Middle West ordinances have been passed for
bidding pedestrians TO cross streets in congested
districts except at crossings l am not sure that
New York will not have to use similar measures
to prevent the appalling number of accidents that
occur in our streets" New York is so quick to
learn. Only few months ago it adopted the

Permanent Peace.
ny JOHN ID. BARRY.

August Schvan, though he has had long train
ing military man, is the foe of and the
champion of peace. Since he came to this country
a few months ago he has been trying to demon
strate in lectures before clubs and colleges that
the efforts thus far suggested to secure and main
tain peace futile and that the only permanent
way is by putting an end to the protective tariff
and establishing universal free trade. In like
Prof Giddings, of Columbia. one of the ablest of
our economists, he has found enthusiastic sup
porters "Nine-tenths of the wars are trade-wars,"
says Giddings. The Socialists would add another
tenth
Schvan belongs to a family long conspicuous
in the public affairs of Sweden He was mem
Der of the Swedish guards and for four years he
held commission in the Austrian Dragons at
Vienna. Kaiser Wilhelm called him to the staff
college in Berlin On his return to Sweden he
was member of the general staff in Stockholm.
For several years he active in Swedish di-
plomacy, both at home and in St. Petersburg.
Meanwhile, his studies and his experiences were
revising some OF the impressions that he had
formed from reading the kind of history that con-
sisted largely of war records He conceived such
a detestation of war and he realized so keenly the
waste it involved that he determined to devote
himself to working against it, both by writing and
speaking 1t seemed to him that the best oppor-
tunity for his purpose to be found in England.
So few years ago he settled down in London
with the intention of becoming an English cti-
and offering himself for election to the house
OF commons. The outbreak OF the war of 1914
upset his plans. As he found he could be of lit
tie service in England he decided to come here.
That the Kaiser has committed the greatest
crime in history is opinion that Schvan ex-j
presses with profound conviction. For many
years he has known the Kaiser well and has had
exceptional chances OF observing the imperial
characteristics. He says that William is religious
maniac, subject to fearful outburSts OF anger which
expresses itself in voice, always or less dis
agreeable, and. at such times. the most disagree
able voice in the world. The description suggests
that the Kaiser has been rather spoiled There are
many people like him in the great places Of the
world and even in the small places who have not
the excuse OF being religious manacs. Our own
Roosevelt, by the way, has voice that does not
imply qualities beatifc

Like most Of the bcst-known economists to-
day Schvan is stanch free-tradcr. Belief in the
artificial restraints put upon trade he regards as
colossal folly in world so miSed that il pre-
fcrs misery to happiness. He quotes the saying
OF Rcnan: it isn't the stars that give him an idea
of infnity; it is mans stupidity. But just now
mankind is having a lesson such it has never
had before. Great changes bound 10 come out
of this catacySm. Never before in history has
war been so abhorred. The world is ready to
examine the causes OF war to get down to the
fundamentals. To ask the bclligcrents to enter
in a compact not to fight any more is like asking
professional criminals to conspire to stop their
crimnality. The only way to strike at the root
OF the evil is to secure freedom from those in
references to international trade which lead to
bitter international competition for advantage and
to those hatrcds and suspicious that develop over
whclmng ornaments and war itself
With universal free trade. Schvan believes
there would be need of ornaments. So one
hdeous burden would be lifted from the great
nations Of the world. International differences
there would still be; but they could reach settle
ment through the maintenance of an international
tribunal court Each nation should be repre-
scented by judges according to population. The de-
cisions should be enforced by maritime interna-
tional police, manned by men of the smaller sea-
farlng and self-governlng countries without CO.
lonial ambitions, like Norway and Denmark. The
light armored cruisers needed might be taken from
the naves of the world The headquarters might
be in some such place Malta.
The plan sounds fantastic. But is it really sol?
1t is surely not nearly so srotesquc as our pres
ent way of living and it is vastly more economical
Some has said that if Roosevelt had come
forward with practical Scheme for universal
figure in the world. But he is temperamentally
untitled for this kind of greatness To him there
is no real greatness in public affairs free from the
big stick.

Uncle Ezra-Eph Hoskins must have

The Washington herald., 1915-11-11

What is to me most interesting about man
like August Schvan is that he represents a large
number of people the world over, highly intelli-
gent idealists with strong, practical bent, who
are thinking deeply and seriously about what lies
behind war and what must lie behind peace If it
is TO have any real stability. Their investigating
leads them into strange places. 1t upsets many
firmly intrcnched notions. 1t reminds the world
that a sound understanding of economics is essen
tial to establishing of healthy international rela-
tons
But, after all, where does the study of econ
omics lead to? Inevitably it leads back to those
simple Christian principles that all the civilized
nations profess and practice when they feel so
disposed. OF all economic theories there never
was one more opposed to the Christian spirit than
protection the seeking of advantage for some peo-
pie by imposing disadvantage on others and call
ing the result prosperity. 1t is the nquity of the
practice that August Schvan is trying to bring
home to us, with all the wretched consequences in
the struggle for place in the sun, in the ex-
travagant OUTLAWS for the collecting of taxes for
the support of really unnecessary governmental
agencies, the intricate working needed to enable
men to cripple one another and to change the
course of nature and to open wide avenues for
ltemptatian To graft

that colors of Navy and Cadet in
all foreign dyes will be off the

German dyes are nearly all at the

seem to be growing worse. We do
not expect to see another good
lot of Nayies, Reds and Cadets
until the war is over.
If You have Dress Goods to buy,
you can now be sure Of foreign
dyes. Later reliable manufactur-
ers will not pretend to sell these
colors. We win not use domestic
colors in Dress Goods; we will go
without. So, if you buy here,
you will get the best or not any.
