ment here.
Mr.. Prices objections to Judge
Arosemena are based on the latter's
alleged anu-American acts, dating
back to the time when, as superior
Judge of the criminal court he dealt
with the cases of Panama policemen
who shot unarmed American soldiers
on the streets of Panama on July 4,
1912, and on two occasions in the
spring of 1915. In these cases there
was no doubt, to the foreign element,
at least, that the policemen had shot

opinion in which he denounced the
conduct of the American soldiers and
found that only one of the score Of
policemen arraigned was guilty of mis-
conduct. This one had been dead
about a month at the time the opinion
was delivered. In subsequent cases
the American Minister insisted that
Judge Arosemna be not allowed on the
bench.
Further venting his alleged griev-
ances against the Americans, Judge
Arosemena last year published, under
the nom de plume of LEO Franck" an
arraignment of the American conduct
of affairs on the Isthmus in which he
made caustic comments on Gov. Go
ethals and other American officials
and the commissary stores of the Ca
nal, which he claimed we're running
the economic independence Of Pana-
ma. He has published other less Vi.
rulent anti-American notes over his
own name.
Recently Judge Arosemena pub
lished a letter in which he disclaimed
any anti-American feeling. saying the
opposition to him was purely mat
ter of personal spite. A year ago he
went to the United States to study
penal institutions and at the instance
of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
Mr.. Price gave him letter of intro
duction, in which he spoke of him In
commendatory terms. 1t is reported
that Arosemena is using this letter to
prove that Price once thought highly
Of him and has changed his mind for
personal reasons, Mr.. Price denies
this, and says he has no objection to
Judge Arosemena's appointment to
any other post than that of chief
prosecuting officer.

MUNITlON WORKERS
STRUCG BECAUSE THEY

(By Associated Press.

(By Associated Press,
London, Oct. 10.-Several hundred
munition workers in a London shop
went on strike recently because new
foreman was not formally introduced
to them. They were out for nearly
two days and twenty-five of them were
Summoned before the military tribunal
for leaving work.
j One of the defendants, a man named
Burgess. told the court that In thirty
years experience he had never heard
.of foreman being appointed without
his being introduced with the remark:
Mr. Blank, this will be your foreman
in future"
The manager of the works said 1t
would be impossible to. introduce a
new foreman to more than 1000 men.
Burgess said they did not expect the
manager to introduce the foreman to
everyone in the factory, and especial
ly not to the young ladies.
The court agreed that 1t would have
been much better II the men had been
properly informed of the new appoint
ment, and, to the accompaniment Of
loud cheers, dismissed the proceed
lings.

T7HERE is nothing In modern civi1i-
zation that we can look upon
with more satisfaction than the
rise Of woman. We have to go among
savage tribes in order to get object
lessons in the history Of mans tyranny
over woman. The story of the develop
ment OF marriage is one of the most
astonishing things in human annals.
Marriage in the beginning was moth
ing more than a method of acquiring
property. The woman was the prop
erty, and the man took her either by
force. by gift or by purchase. She had
no choice and no rights, no more than
IL she had been a dog or q COW. Her
person. her liberty and hsr life were
all at the absolute disposal of her hus-
band.
The only persons wha at the start
had any greater claim upon her than
the man who wished to marry her.
were her parents. And their claim
was that of the owners of an animal
raised to be sold. The traces Of this
original subsection and abaseu1ent of
woman remain yet today, even in civ
ilized society
The greatest praise of America Is
that, cut off from the Old World and
free to develop it's social ideas and
customs in the light OF advancing civ
ilizatiOn, IL has never adopted the
European custom OF selling its daugh-
ters for a price.

not in the field in his time, we are
told; battles were not fought along
lines hundreds OF miles in length. arm
les did not dig themselves In and fight
invisibly, aeroplanes had not been in
vented to survey the enemy's dispose
tons and reveal his plans from moYing
watch towers in the sky
There were no cO-Ordinated lines of
railroad and swift automotors to ia
cilitate the movement and cOncentra-
ton OF troops, there were no machine
guns to NOV down charging columns,
there was no gigantic artillery second
ed by explosives of tremendous power
to reduce the strongest Notifications
or regiments to pieces by a single
shot.
Power and Genius Unchanged.
All this is perfectly true. but it does
not In the slightest degree alter the
fundamental principles of the art of
war or eliminate the part that genius
Of the Napoleonic kind can play in IL.
Modern inventions have produced the
same evolution in warfare that they
have in trade and industry, and no
more. They have uplifted the whole
level Of human endeavor. but they have
not eliminated the natural inequali-
ties. The continent has risen, but the
mountains have gone up with It, The
entire civilized world shares the ad-
vance, and the mind surveys its eter-
nal problems from the same relative
elevation that it had before.
Have the gigantic augmentations of
capital and the illimitable extensions
Of trade, commerce, industry and in
accommodation paralyzed the powers
Of superior men, or reduced them to a
lower relative place? Every Body knows
that such has not been the effect
The captains of industry have kept
their place at the head, and have grown
greater with the increasing grea tness
of the means at their command There
Is not the least Indication that genius
is being overtopped. It still rides tri-
umphant on the summit of the wave.
1t cannot be submerged by the product
Of its own creation.
If Napoleon were in Europe today
his glance would comprehend the mill
tary situation and penetrate the heart
OF its problems just as masterfully as
IT did more than a hundred years ago.
He would be Napoleon still. His rela-
tive value would remain unchanged.
Saw and Did.
Just as he saw what to do, and did
ii quicker and better than the other
generals Of his own time, so he would
show his superiority now. There can
not be any doubt about this, for it is
or the very nature Of genius to soar
above the level Of its time That is
what genius is for; that is what con-
stitutes genius
Newton today would be at the head
Of all the astronomers. Archimedes
today would lead all the physicists.
l mean Newton and Archimedes with
the same minds that they had when
they were on the earth before.
The quality of mind does not alter;
only its requirements advance. Re-
appearing today, such men would
stand. as we all do, on the accumula-
ton OF the human achievement Of the
past. I find my little girl in school

No Supreme Military Genius.
Great geniuses appear sporadically,
both in time and in place. There has
not been a supreme military genius
since Napoleon. although there have
been many wars. There was none Of

that ii would be well for the world IL
no new Napoleon should ever be born,
but perhaps we are wrong about that.
Caesar gave the world a great push
in advance, though at a terrible price
in blood and suffering; Napoleon shook
the grasp Of absOlutism from the

set up a temporary tyranny Of his own.
This popularity Of Napoleon throws
light on the nature of genius. It IS
an irresponsible and irresistible force
The physical basis OF genius seems to
be a brain with windows. through
which the mind sees things face to
