HENRY sIENKIEWICZ:

The death Of Henryk Sienkiewlcz Will De
deeply regretted by all lovers of beautiful 1T
erature. He was master of the historical
novel-indeed, it would be no fulsome comPl-
ment to call him the Polish Walter Scott. His
romances Of Poland and Russia are full OF lie
and versimiitude He is best known as fhe
author of 'Quo Vadisi" work which gives
highly dramatic picture of Rome in the days OF
the christian martyrs A little story of his en-
titled ''The Land of Promise" deserves to be
read. It describes the sufferings of poor
Polish peasant and his daughter who came to
the United States in the belief that 1t was
land flowing with milk and honey Ignorant
Of the conditions of life here, the credulous
newcomer was the victim Of designing adven-
turers, and having lost his scanty savings, ne
drowned himself.
( Sienkiewicz was not only brilliant Polish
writer: He was also great patriot While re-
siding at Vevey, Switzerland, where he died, ne
devoted most of his time striving to relieve his
starving country Every Pole in the world will
grieve over his death.

PEACE REMOTE.

It would appear that our state department
has not protested against the deportation of
Belgian girls and women at which Cardinal
MERCER and the pope disclalmed with such
spirited indignation. Neither has our govern
ment protested against the more recent depor-
tation of Belgian workmen who were carried
away in cattle cars to Germany to work
against their country. What we have done is
to suggest to the imperial government that
these acts have made a bad impression here.
Perhaps this is the most that can do unless
we are ready, as do not seem to be, to take
a fearless stand for international law and hui
man rights and it may be rather late in the
day for that
Frederick Palmer, the newspaper CORES
pondent, has been in France and England re-
Gently and he has talked with the biggest men
in both countries He learned that in the
Somme fighting to date at least 100000 men
have been killed or wounded, that as many as
10000 have been hit in twenty-four hours of
fighting when the allied forces were making
their advances, that 5000 French and German
guns have been in action simultaneously. And
then, after he had been told all this, he learned
that next years fighting would double that of
this year if doubling proved necessary to sue
cess for the allies
Tt is fight to the finish, Joffre and Haig
and all the others told Hamer, ana lt begins 10
look as though they spoke the solemn truth.
There seems to be fatality about the con-
duct of this war and conspiracy of events,
such as the Belgian deportations, to make an
early peace impossible. There is no belliger-
ent that does not long for peace, pant for it as
the hart for the waterbrooks. But every time
it seems to be drawing into sight something
happens to outrage allied sentiment anew and
nerve it to greater exertions and determination.
Out of the weller and the horror of the conflict,
masses OF men who thought at first that it was
only such clash as Machiavellian statecraft
had often brought upon the world have come to

see that it is a battle for tremendous and per
manent results. They begin to realize that y
must change the face Of Europe, will probably
put the Phrygian cap on other coins besides our
own, set a limit to armament for aggression ana
change in many ways the outlook OF mankind
Peace is two years nearer than 1t was Two
wears ago; but that is the most that can be SAID.
It is not in sight and is probably year away.
Peace means acauiescence, forced or voluntary,
of all the belligerents in an old or new order OF
things and no indications Of this are manifest
as yet.

GUN HAND TOO FREE

,The latest figures on accidental deaths in the
United States the mortality census tor 1919,
make it appear that the American gun hand IS
free-and easy. We grow alarmed over the
increasing mortality from automobile acct
dents and the government report says firearms
caused nearly as many deaths as railroad and
street car accidents combined To be exact,
seven thousand, nine hundred and ninety-four
persons lost their lives by use OF firearms IN
the area under observation by the government
last year. This is rate of 11.9 to every one
hundred thousand of population.
1t is evident the safety first campaign waged
diligently in nearly all states and the safety
precautions taken at great expense by rail
roads, other public service corporations, and
manufacturing companies of all kinds, have
had very decided results Accidental deaths
from all causes last year numbered ffty-one
thousand, four hundred and six. In 1913 there
were ifty-four thousand and eleven We are
getting somewhere in our efforts to reduce the
mortality from industrial accidents But the
number of persons who died from gunshot
wounds made more than fifteen per cent. Iof
those who died accidentally from all causes.
This is enough to convince for need of
safety first movement to educate in the hand
ling Of revovers and rifles, for the statistics
recited refer only to accidental killings. Homi-
cides and suicides are not included.
What an epoch of Innovation we live in and
what a startling change it will be to look down
from the congressional gallery and see the only
woman who ever had seat there. She is a
Montana product, graduate of some school Of
philanthropy, whatever that may be, and ap-
pears to be sprightly woman who conducted
a spirited campaign, dancing with miners in
their dance halls, pleasing them with her
speeches and winning their votes But is it not
after all sort of undignifed joke upon our in
situations to send her to Washington to help
manage national affairs7 Will it not tend to
cheaper republican government in the eyes of
the world? Of course there are always men in
every congress who are only numerical add
ton to it, but they not particularly in evil
dence as this woman must be. Their lack of
capacity or manifest unfitness for their high
position is not generally known. But a con-
gresswoman cannot escape attention, and
less she is prominently strong and earnest,
dgnified, poised and of extraordinary intel
lectual stature will not her presence there lead
thoughtful observers to hold our form of govern
ment in 1essened esteem?
