The Crowd Around a
Drunk-SOme Who Were
COnspicuOusly Absent

There is patrol box at the corner OF
4 Grand River-ave. and Park-pl.
BY the patrol box stood policeman.
With hand gripping the left sleeve OF
his coat, the policeman held man who
was drunk.
Around the policeman and his prisoner
there was crowd.
II was the kind of crowd that always
collects quickly in the street.
There were business men in it, profess
sional men, workingmen, boys and wo-
man.
The drunk swayed back and forth on
I HI rims during the wait for the wagon,
& nov and then expressing derogatory
\ oudnion Of policemen and one policeman
I 81 particular.
He applied several hard names to the
: salesman.
The policeman yanked the drunk
around until he faced him and then cuffed
him hard on nose that was already
crooked from having been hit before.
ssShut up that kind of talk" growled
the officer.
Sail right, Mr.. P'liceman," drawled
the drunk. "Fyou think you can make
that nose any crookederer than It's now,
y rot mother guess comm, see?"
Stupefed by whisky, irresponsible for
his words, the poor devil had to take the
officers beating.
He turned his pockets inside out and
4 they were empty.
His last cent gone, the saloon where he
u had spent his money and made "a good
fellow Of himself" had probably put him
ont into the street.
There an officer found him and ar
y rested him.
And, as we have said, a crowd collect

And, as we have said, there were all
sorts Of persons in this crowd, even wo-
men who didn't move despite the vile talk
Of the drunk.
The noticeable thing in connection
with this crowd, however, was in what it
\ lacked-the fact of those who were NOT
present.
The saloonkeeper who sold the drunk
his booze was not there-he had the
mans money and was no longer interest
ed, it seems.
The wholesaler who sold the booze to
the retailer was not there.
Probably out seeking the shade and
the fresh air in his limousine.
The brewer who made the beer that
was sold to the man and the distiller who
made the whisky that was sold to the
man---they were not there, either.

You speak much of human judges.
If our judges were less human and
more like machines we would have
more real justice. For if the law
making bodies knew that the laws
passed by them would be enforced
literally they would take greater care
in what they made law, and law
breakers, knowing that the laws
would be so enforced without the in
terventiOn Of weak, Vacilating, pre-
JUDGED judges, would think more
than once before breaking a law al
ready in force. With machines inter
preting the law and rendering deci-
siOns in all cases, we would very soon
be having heaven on earth. 1t is pos
sible that in some isolated case a
judge would make a home-Tun by not
following the law; but let him con-
tinUe that practice and his errors
would become innumerable
You say of soIemn-looking judges,
they make 'em fear the law, but
they don't make them love il" Very
little of the law now in force can be
loved by anyone, and that which can
be loved needs no lawmakers, judges
and police to enforce it. That law
would be Obeyed as it is now obeyed,
as of course, without official inter
VentiOn. But the rest of the law,
that law which governs our complex
governmental machinery and our
commerce, that law which is a little
in advance of the present time, being
progressive steps, are not loved, but
must be respected. And how can you
make men respect the law if they
cannot respect the law Interpreters,
those who enter judgment on the
law, those who decree what it is and
those who direct how it shall be en-
forced?

Notwithstanding the many known
and unknown uncertainties and i'm
projections of our laws and judges,
their ridiculous delays, their many
antiquated methods, and even the
corruption that exists among them,
we must respect them, for it is the
best we have. The tone of your let
ter and the point of view from which
you look upon them causes their dis
respect. Of that we have an over
abundance, so much so that there is

NOTHING SHORT OF IMMUNITY
L. 5. Insists Merchant Ships Must BE
Warned of Attack,

Washin gton, Feb. 17.-Secretary
Lansing said late to-day that the
United States would accept nothing
short Of a full and complete agree
ment in the submarine controversy
with Germany covering the points for
which it has contended as to the past
and assurances for the future.
Secretary Lansing said the United
States considered the announcement
Of the new submarine campaign in
consistent with assurances previously
given, and that the United States
considered a merchant ship with de-
fensive armament and one without
guns at all in the same class. AS
surances were wanted. he said, to
extend immunity from liners to all
merchant ships.
Accepted Professionally.
Secretary Lansing to-day accepted
the Lusitania agreement as accepta-
bic to the United States insofar as it
relates to that case, but asked Count
Won Bernstorff for assurances that
Germany will not carry it's policy of
sinking merchant ships without
warning to liners even if they carry
defensive armament.
The question Of what constitutes
defensive armament is to be deter
mined later in a way not yet agreed
upon. 1t is suggested that the Uni
ted States may propose that guns
mounted on the stern Of ships and
capable OF being swung from Is to
30 degrees in either direction might
come within that class.
1t was stated authoritatively that
Germany. because of it's unusual po-
sition, cannot and will not accept the
suggestion of the United States as it
now stands. that liners carrying
arms shall be immune from attack
undcr previous assurances
Secretary Lansing explained fully
to the ambassador the position of
the United States in the light Of the
new developments, and is understood
to have told him that while Ger
many's position is recognized as we'll
founded, the United States must in
sist that Germany conform all her
practices to international law mas
much as the entente allies have de-
Clincd to make any change.

TURK STRONGHOLD CAPTURED.
Turks Said to Have Lost 100, 900
Men and 1000 Guns.

Petrograd, Feb. 17.-The official
Messenger estimates the Turkish
garrison at Erzerum, capture of
which was announced yesterday, as
100000 men.
1t is also estimated that moro than
1000 guns were captured. 1t IS said
there were 467 guns in the outer
forts, 37i in the central forts and
200 field guns at Erzerum.
5000 Russians Reported Slain.
London, Feb. 17.-Wfth the cap

terest in war operations has shifted
its center momentarily to the fields
Of warfare in Armenia, Persia and
Mcsopotamia, where the campaigns
are expected to be notably influenced
in their course by the fall of the
Turkish stronghold.
The current Turkish official state
mcnt gives no Clew ITO the course of
events following the capture of the
fortress and indeed does not record
that happening. Tho only mention
Of the operations in this sector is a
declaration that the Russians, in the
fighting OF the three days preceding,

Military observers in allied capi-
tails who regard Erzerum las the key
to Asia Minor expect the Russian sue
cess to facilitate the capture Of Ire
bizond, on the Black Sea coast to the
north. giving possession to the Turk
ish gateway from Asia into Europe,
while the Turkish forces throughout
Armenia will be put in jeopardy, it
is argued, and the pressure on the
British in Mesopotamia will be re-

by the Russians will now be possible

las, it is declared
According to the official count the
British Mesopotamian forces have
been heavy sufferers In the recent
fighting. The British losses in the
battle at Batiha, west Of Korna, ag-
gregated 1000, it is stated.
