TIME Marquis Of Lansdowne, whose
recent statement Of peace sugges-
tions, condemned by the Unionsts
after reputation by Mr.. \. Bonar Law,
brewed a brief tempest in England, has
had almost fifty years of diplomatic ex-
perience. His first appointment, as Lord
Of the Treasury, was given him in 1869 by
Gladstone. With the dissolution of the
Asquith Cabinet last year, Of which he
had been a member as minister without
portfolio, his official service ended, tenn
porarily, at least.
His career seems TO have been patterned
after that Of his grandfather, VINO, aiter
holding government Office for fifty years,
at last was given a seat in the Cabinet
without portfolio.

Petty-Fitzmaurice, is peer of many

chants National Bank of Boston, through
It's textile department In preparation of
this brochure it was necessary to secure as
sistance from various industrial commit
tees and boards of the British government,
French industrial commissioners, special
reports received through American con-
sulates, current foreign and domestic pub
locations touching upon this subject, and
several American authorities.
In England to-day, the report reads,
there are about l,256,000 women who have
undertaken work formerly done almost
wholly by men, raising their employment
total from about 3,2S2,O00 10 4,53S,000.
This total employment, the report says,
does not include domestic servants, women
in small shops or on farms, or nurses in
military, naval or Red Cross hospitals
Slightly over 100000 are now engaged in
agricultural labor. Still more are en-

nv that verdict. found that the woman in
killing De Saulles had done no wrong; if
they had some lingering doubts about the
righteousness Of her act, they declared that
she should not be punished for it. 1t need
not be pointed out that it is not the intention
Of the law that person who takes the life
Of another shall 20 scot free"
To prevent such miscarriages as it
thinks this acquittal was, the paper just
under quotation thinks there is crying
need Of an amendment to the laws of New
York providing that when the plea of in
sanity is presented and accepted by the
jury the verdict shall be in every case,
Guilty. but insane to the end that under
the direction of the court the prisoner may
be put under such restraint as the public
safety demands" And the opinion re-
ceives this additional Disguised comment:
"WhAt safeguards the law may be able to
set up against the vagaries of jurors who
sweep evidence aside, pay little or no atten-
ton TO law, and, yielding to influences that
sway the unccvenanted minds of the crowd,
proceed to render yerdicts based upon the
little girl theory of their solemn duty, is
problem We must leave for solution to
those wiser generations who may inhabit
this earth in some future day
Similar doubts as to the exact justice
of the verdict appear in the comment of
"The Philadelphia Public Ledger"
There were dolbtless extenuating crcum-

iuries-except the apparently important
facts Of the beauty and distress and the
sex of the heroines."
"The Brooklyn Eagle" also draws con-
trast between the verdict given 'the beau
tiful Mrs. De Saulles" and "a poor, friend
less, ignorant Italian woman" who slew
her seducer after he had spat in her face
and refused to right the wrong ne had
DONE" with the result that
"a New York jury convicted her OF murder
in the Gr-t degree. She was sentenced TO
DEATH taken % Sing sing 20 await her doom,
but was saved in the very shadow Of the

perhaps recognized that she enjoyed az her
trial rome of the advantages derived from
the possession of youth, beauty, wealth, So
clal station, brainetorm experts and the en-
listment Of sob sisters Of both sexes to
write/up her sufferings in the newspapers"
On the other hand, "The New York
World" decided that
lawfully to acquit the jury must have
been Satisfied that at the moment of firing
the shots Mrs. De Saules was not in a
mental state TO be re sponsibe for her act.
And the jury was the final arbiter Of her fate.
No princiuIc or precedent Of unwritter law

authorities in Washington are deluged
with requests for relief, many Of them
threatening serious consequences. The
situation is very grave. With the arrival
Of the first month Of actual winter the
Fuel Administration finds itself up against
the real test. The government control Of

Mr.. Allen entered the banking firm from

ago, when he was called to New York from
his business of hardware in the Middle
West to become vice-president Of the Me
chanics and Metals National Bank.
By birth Mr.. Allen is Yankee, and va
rious branches of his family still live in
New England. He was born in 1877 at
Walpole, Mass, graduated from Phillips
Academy, and in 1900 from Yale. With
out waiting for grass 10 grow until

importanv one offered by the Simmons
Hardware Company, which made it neces-
sary for him to go TO st. Louis. After
working his way up through the different
departments he finally was appointed as
sistant secretary and at the same time
elected to a dictatorship in the company.
1t was his work during the several years
he held this position that attracted out
side attention and resulted in his election
to the vice-presidency of the Mechanics
and Metals National Bank. He has lived
in New York ever since. But the hard
ware business in st. Louis has never ceased
TO interest him, and he is still director of
his old company.

w 7 HAT the press thinks of the YER
" dict of mot guilty" in the De
Saulles murder trial is, in the
case of the New York dailies, interesting
for what is not said. For on the day fol-
lowing the verdict not a word of editorial
comment appeared in such papers as "The
Evening Post, "The Evening Mai" "The
Evening Sum-" "The Globe" 1.-THE Even
ing World" THE Telegraph. The Trib-
une. THE American" and "The Evening
Telegram" while "The Herald contented
itself with something 20 the effect that the
trial would result in doing away with the
Hypothetical question" All these papers,
however, devoted columns of space to the
trial sending numerous feature writers
and photographers to cover the proceed
ings in full On one occasion one paper
ran a full two pages of testimony in one
issue. Whatever its significance, this edi-
torial silence is essentially piece of news.
Of those New York papers, however,
which do comment THE Times" is by far
the most concerned. Plainly" said THE

opinion which is generally agreed with.

Draft Proceedings

NrEW YORK CITY'S new draft direc-
" tor. Philip J. McCook, has been for
tbc past two months director Of the
MAYORS Committee on National Defence,
and as such his headquarters have been in
the Hall Of Records. The assumption of
his new duties does not involve Occu-
nancy Of new Offices. Insteae, it means
merely a few additions, in the way of
files and staff, to his present office equip
ment. For the most part the same old
machinery will be used, and Mr.. McCook
will continue to hang his hat on the same
old hook in the same old offices.
Although the actual classification Of
draft registrants does not begin until after
December 10, the new director started
last week TO organize his forces for the
task.
Mr.. McCook is a lawyer who frequently
has interested himself in behalf Of per-
sons accused of crime who could not afford
TO engage counsel. In 1898 he was a
student at the Harvard Law School, but
at the beginning of the Spanish War he
gave up his studies and enlisted in the
9Th Massachusetts Infantry. His regi-
ment went to Porto Rico with General
Miles, and was the first eXpeditionary

For several years he was president OF

is here reproduced.
1t remained for "The Kansas City
Times" veteran of many trials in which
the testimony of alienists was freely i'll
troduced, to take light view of the trial,
particularly that related TO the alienists.
With the details Of the shooting out of the
way, and except for any unfortunate inhu-
ence they might have had upon the jury,
the case, thinks this paper, may properly
be opened without prejudice, ard this case
has to do with the thyroid gland:
WAS it functioning properly upon the
night when the incident testified 70 by the
minor witnesses occurred? That it was not

dropped her husband in his tracks with four
we'll directed bullets. They are more sig
nihcant when the woman is able to bring
major witnesses. Not witnesses to the incl
dent. but witnesses TO the state of the thyroid
gland.
IF these conditions are established the
jury must accept them as predicating an
inactivity OF the vital processes. Not the
vital process Of the victim Of the inciaent.
