. EFOEE long the ethics OF reprisals which
- has so long been subject of controversy
among the British and French but which has
been an academic question with us gill be-
come practical matter for this government
and it's military authorities to decide. For
the honor OF the nation and for the sake of

is clear: there must be no reprisas of the

In symposium printed in the Literary
Digest, respectable MISUNDERSTANDING at

both the theory and the practice of reprisals
in kind. Most Of the advocates, however
argue from the viewpoint of international
law, and insist that reprisals are a legitimate
form OF retaliation. II that is granted, even

Meat Versus Endurance.

The old myth that meat is strengthening is

miserably in test OF physical endurance in

kind. notable illustration of this fact was

The hardest manual labor in the world is
