AS TO CONQUEST BY STARVATION

Lloyd George. the British Minister of Munitions, has been quoted as say- ing that it is not desirable to bring Germany to terms by starvation. There will have to be a decisive. ni1i- tary victory by force of arms to &C., complish the purpose of the Allies. That purpose is to destroy the military power of Germany and force an aban- donment of it's militaristic policy of government. If the blockade was made so affective as to starve the people into surrender without caus- ing a complete conversion of their government to modern civilized meth- ods, 1t would leave a sullen bitterness and hatred which would be nourished until the strength of the country re. covered and new preparation for war could be made.
 It may be readily admitted that what Germany's enemies are fighting for is their own future safety and conditions of government in Europe which will make the repetition of such a conflict as this impossible. After all

in the majority of cases the lesion never closes.
 Although in a case like this, of an extreme lesion. there is for some time danger of a relapse, we hope that the celebrated poet will be able to take up again. at no very distant day, his work as writer and soldier once more.
 DIR. LANDOLT.
 Specialists of, this city say that a recovery from an injury of this char acter Is almost miraculous in the case Of an adult. Only children are known to recover their eyesight, once the re- tina has actually become detached Perhaps poets, in their capacity as sgrown-up children. have the more perfect faith. which in d'Annunzio in- duced the healing of his injured eve. Perhaps, also, it was the absolute pa- tience with which he could bear to lie strapped down to a board, motion less for months. Whichever it is. the whole world.

the destruction and loss and suffering there would not be likely to be any thing of the kind attempted for a gen. eratton to come at least. Europe will have had enough of it and so long as memory of its effect was really alive there would be no likeli- hood that the people would tolerate another experience of the kind. They would rise up against any design for bringing it about. But the pur- pose of the Allies will not be accom- plished until the incentive for such warfare, the spirit in the ruling power behind it. shall be, if not "crushed out" abandoned as a mat ter of national policy, given up be- cause those directly subject to it will have no more of it. It is not the German people or the German na- tion but the dynastic policy /of the Prussian autocracy that must be beaten.
 Starvation is no less an effective weapon of warfare because it is not used in destroying armies. It will weaken the support of armies and it is pretty sure to weaken the support of the government which is making such ruthless use of them. That government has been responsible for brining so much misery and suffering upon the people subject to it's author ity, and the more likely are they in the end to realize who has been to blame for 1t. They may be ready to get rid of such a policy of gov ernment as has brought all this upon them. If the real purpose is to be accomplished in the end it will not be directly forced by foreign ene- mics. but by the people who have suffered from it. The conversion of Germany to civilized modes of govern ing cannot be compelled from the outside. It must come from the will of the governed when they have suf- ficiently gathered the bitter fruits of a barbarous rule.-New York Journal of Commerce.

perpetuity to his family by the people or Soleure as, token of gratitude for tue services rendered the town by the first ans<Roth of Rumisberg in the year 1882. Every year since then the head of the house of Roth of Rumisberg has received his pension and robe of honor.
 The last head of the house died re- gently. and the Government of the Canton of Soleure Is not certain which of the surviving members of the fam fly Is entitled to succeed to the hon. ors. It Is believed that some of the Roths emigrated to America, and it may be that among them is one who by right of primogeniture has a prior claim upon the ancient foundation.
 The story of how the first Hans Roth won the everlasting gratitude of the people of Soleuro makes a quaint link between the medieval past and to-day. In order to re-establish the waning prestige of the once powerful Counts of Kyburg. member of that family in 1882 planned to seize and plumber the towns of Soleure. Berne, fhun. and Aarberg. Soleure was to be the first victim to the robber ba- ron. who had enlisted in his support the men-at-arms of Count Diethelm of Neuchatel and the treacherous assist ance of, certain inmates of the Abbey of St. Ursus within the town walls. a hint of them had reached the bur ghers. But by the merest chance, a farmer, the first Hans Roth of Ru- misberg, chanced to encounter the ad- vancing troops of Kyburg and Neu- chatel. overheard them discussing their intentions and realized the dan- ger to the sleeping city.
 How Roth Gave Alarm.
 Hans Roth was not a burgher of Soleure, but he was a man of the people. By the shortest path across the mountainsides he ran at top speed, easily distancing the slow-moving sol diers, and carried the news to the watchmen at the town gate. An alarm was sounded, the population turned out in arms. the gates were barred, the walls manned, and when the Count of Kyburg advanced to take his prey he found it in a state of defence far beyond his power to subdue. Baf- fled and disappointed, he departed, and the people, of Soleure swarmed round their rescuer.
 The councillors of the Canton met, and it was agreed to establish fune. from which every year should be paid a pension and purchased a robe of honor for Hans Roth or the eldest of his descendants. That pension has never failed. and lest it should the Swiss Government has requested the aid of the newspapers of the United States in spreading broadcast the ti- dings that the title of succession is clouded, and that all of the blood of Hans Roth in this country should izsn- tify themselves. in order that the ques- ton may be settled.

modern weapons been known. How easy it would have been, for example, to spy out the position of the enemy with airships. How much of the ex- citement that carried men along against frightful odds, if not to vic- tory, at least to the glory that always belongs to men who fight bravely for a cause in whose justice they thor oughly believe, would have been missed had the men been confined to the trenches. Khaki is moro service able for army wear, but will it ever evoke the thrill that does the blue or the gray of the old rritorms, as future generations behold it? It would be very interesting to learn the views of these old soldiers regarding these things Modern warfare ic not more deadly, in proportion to the weapons used and the number f men engaged, probably, than was the old fighting. We shudder at the destruction of his- torical places and the sweeping away of homes, but did not the same sort of thing happen in the Civil War? There are terrible things in war that cannot be avoided, whichever side is the ag- gressor.
 Both Sides Alike. I
 In every army tf.ere are men of all sorts and conditions. There are brave men, intent on doing their duty, what ever the cost, yet really tender Of heart, and ready to relieve suffering and avoid the wanton giving of pain so far as possible even to an enemy. There are callous. brutal men, who have no compunction of heart, and who kill and destroy for the mere @A Co lit is not fair to assume that all the chivalry or all the brutality is on any one side of a struggle. There are |southeIn women living today who shudder at the remembrance of acts of wanton and barbarous vandalism perpetrated by northern soldiers, as well as northern women who have equally horrifying remembrances of brutality toward prisoners on the part of soldiers of the south. But these same persons also know of many acts of chivalrous generosity and kindness shown toward them and theirs by sol diers of the side opposed to their own, and no not dream of condemning the many for the actions of an unrepre- sentative few. iSo in, these days of storm and stress, one must be chary of condemning any one nation wholesale for acts of barbarity, without positive evidence that the whole nation is. practically, of one mind in the matter and so responsible.
 One wonders, sometimes, whether in the long perspective of history, it will be possible to look back over these days of war as we do over the days of the eos, and if some things will ap- pear in a light so wholly different from that which showed them in the time of their occurrence. Things as- sume their true proportions at a little distance; there are many sidelights thrown upon them. and the paths which led up to them from many diff 1erent .iirections and brought contrib uting causes are visible. So the world will have to wait to view the present crisis through a vista of years before judgment can be fairly rendered.

Preserved for the World, Despite War Injury, by the, skill of Paris
 Surgeon.

The most glorious eye in Europe. 1ince swinburne's ceased to dwell on -land and sky and sea-" Gabrielle GAnnunzio's, which was injured all most beyond hope during an aerial re- connaissance some months ago, seems in a fair way to recover power of vf- Bion and sepsitiveness to the poignant realities of old earth's never-resting kinemacolor. The poet. after months of the greatest patience under the most painful and irksome treatment, has reaped his reward; he, himself. has been able to write his friends in Paris. enclosing the very hopeful re- port of his physicians that he will in ail likelihood retain the full sight Of both his eyes.
 The poet writes:
