A JUSTIFICATION.

Reading of crime, such as murder and suicide, is not the best intellectual pabulum upon which humanity can feed the mind; but it has this in its favor: it acts as a sort of jack where on those who are slipping might lift open the eyes of those who have de- parted from the straight and narrow. It should serve to put the human car back on the track again.
 The world war Is crime in the eyes of God and man: yet it has served a mission. It has brought the race back to it's senses. It has put checkrein upon many wild natures. It has shown conclusively what small atoms we are. It has given a different view of human nature. It has stirred up a latent religious feeling that has long since lain dormant.
 Since the introduction of the mod ern newspaper,-madep possible by the invention of steam engines, printing machines, the telephone and tele- graph,-the crimes of the world have been blazoned forth i'll big letters. There is no sensational story break Ing anywhere in the world that can not be brought to the attention of millions of readers in all parts of the earth. Because of this we know more of crime than our forbears who held forth before the inventions that make possible the carrying and assem bling and presentation of intelligence. Also, because of other inventions, to-wit, the automobile, the Maxim silencer, the bright lights, modern apartment houses and hotels, one might almost say the cabaret, there Is more crime to record.
 One school of moralists is in favor of suppressing all news of this sort. It is not, according to the followers of this school, news fit to print On the other hand there are those who see the benefits humanity derives from having the seamy side of life exposed The pitfalls and ditches along the road of life are many. It is some times we'll to know where they are, lest others stumble and fall. So we have a Justification for the business of exposing crime.

LOSE NO TIME.

Now that approximately two hum dred men from this city have gone to the training camp at Aver, Mass, let
 us not neglect the names of those who went before. The men who went to Camp Devens yesterday are known to all hands. Their names and their records are In the keeping
 of the two local exemption boards.
 All the data connected with them and
 which will be of use for future his-
 torians can be easily obtained from the men who helped Uncle Sam select these young fellows under the new
 service law. Those adventurous spirits who went away before even their l country called them, who went for I overseas service In the armies of the 1 Entente Allies are not so fortunate. l In many cases they did not register l with anyone who might let their l friends in New Britain know their l whereabouts. There are, of course, | parents and kinsfolk who know where 1 these boys have gone and with what 1 armies they are serving. This is the ] information we want, and for which the Herald has waged a consistent
 call. We also want the names of all l our boys who are now serving in the
 regular army, the navy, and the na- ] tional guard. Let us lose no time in
 making the record complete.

Hospital Ships.
(Newark NewS)

Though Germany may look upon it merely as a concession, reserving to itself all liberty of action" in the premises, there is ground for encour- agement in the arrangement said now to have been reached with respect to British and French hospital ships Not only does this arrangement make for the elimination of one of the hor- TOTS and barbarities of warfare, but and this is of special importance-it is step toward checking the policy of reprisals, to which policy the French have been forced in this con- nection.
 When Germany announced that hospital ships would be torpedoed without warning, alleging that this fragrant departure from the rules of humanity as defined by both Geneva and Hague conventions was justified because of suspicion that hospital ships were used to transport troops and ammunition the French govern ment announced that German prison CTS would be placed on those ves- sells. In return, Germany placed French prisoners in exposed positions. So what was bad became worse. Britain, 1t should be noted, categor ically denied that hospital ships were being put to illegal use.
 Now, following the suggestion of King Alfonso that a neutral commits sioner be placed on each hospital ship, with the reported acceptance by the kaiser of the plan, it Is an- nounced that freedom of movement for the British and French hospital ships is to be assured. One report has it that there will be limitation of sea area for these ships But progress toward desired end is be- ing made; it is said that efforts are under way to include Italian hospital ships in the agreement. With return to civilized practices regarding hos pital ships, German prisoners are re- moved by the French from hospital ships and the German government says it will remove French prisoners from exposed points on the lines to positions of safety.
 ,, This is a ray of light on a situati., which Wal dark enough. It may , pave the Wa,' to other arrangeme having a relation to that final com ing together on the principles of world liberty and justice for which America and our allies are fighting. How far C. 'rmany has departed from humane methods of warfare is shown not only by the attacks made by it's commanders on hospital ships
 but also by the attacks on land hos l pitals, during which American hos 1 pital contingents have suffered. This ] latter indefensible cruelty still stands l as an edded indictment against Ger man ruthlessness

The Whistling Bellboy.
(New York Herald)

There are rules and regulations for the bellboys employed by the Park Avenue Hotel and unless the man. agement Is mistaken the rules and regulations compare favorably In the matter of stringency with any now operating in the bellboys bylaws ap- piled to a bit of disorder which de- veloped yesterday.
 One of the assistant managers was waiting for an elevator on the third floor when a hell hop, red of pompa- dour and powerful of lung came whistling along the corridor.
 "Boy,' called the assistant mana ger don't you know better than that? What do you mean by whist ling in the halls?"
 ''I'm doin' me work, that's what mean," answered the bellboy Tn woman in 30S asked me t page her bulldog."
 And in a matter of this kind the hotel rules are speeohless.

Religion and Murder.
(Meriden Record )

\NISIAuSu NcCOiuJ
 They had an argument about re- ligion. Just what kind of argument the news dispatch does not say. But it became heated He jumped from the breakfast table, started to hurl his two-year-old daughter across it at his wife. and she shot him. Five other children were present The father is dead. The mother is in jail.
 One reads the news item along with other sordid and unhappy things, and is about to forget it. But one thing stands out. One wonders vague ly what religion it could have been whose discussion led to murder.
 It couldn't have been any form of Christianity-whose gentle founder urged his followers to turn the other cheek" It could not have been the faith of the Jews, on whose ta blets is written the stern command Thou shalt not kill" It could not have been-whats the use going fur ther? The purpose of every religion is to mako people better and hap pier When it does not do that. it falls.
 As one reads this pitifully absurd 1 little story ones mind runs on to l what must lie in it's background. The self will, the pickering, the petty fussing over petty church affairs, the failure to seize upon faith, and hope, and love. and courage and patience and kindliness-these, not religion but its absence-caused the tragedy.
 The war is making people think more keenly of such things. Per haps our trivial differences and our l petty spites will he melted out in the 1 purifying crucible. Perhaps we will 1 come to the simple love of God and ones neighbor which ennobles and 1 :.i,iGes all 1ln varying faiths.

Passing the Buck.
(Wall Street JournaD

Not long ago tho manager of q street car line in large city was pe- titioncd by the employees for an 1n- crease in wages.
 "Gentlomen, I should be delighted to give you an increase.' said the manager, "but--,'' and he went on to show how little money the company had left after paying it's fixed charges. However, said the manager, If you will get the Mayor to eliminate this jitney competition I'll see that you get a raise.'
 The employees committee went out and organized big mass meeting. Sub-committees were formed and in a brief space of time a real campaign. with Down with the jitney, Up with the Wage" as 8 motto, was echoed all over the city.
 Suffice it to say that the city fathers needed the civic urge sufficiently to put the jitneys under the same oper- ating conditions as the trolley.
 The manager now hopes to have the tax lowered the next time his men want an increase.

Your Lad and My Lad.

Down toward the deep blue water, marching to throb of drum, From city street and country lane the lines of khaki come; The rumbling guns, the sturdy tread, are full of grim appeal While rays of western sunshine flash back from furnished steel: With eager eyes and cheeks af1ame the serried ranks advance; And your dear lad, and my dear lad, are on their way to France. A sob clings choking in the throat, as file on file sweep by, Between those cheering multitudes, to where the great ships. lie; The batteries halt, the columns wheel, to clear-toned bugle call, With shoulders squared and faces front they stand khaki wall, Tears shine on every watchers cheek, love speaks in every glance; For your dear lad, and my dear lad, are on their way to France. Before them. through a mist of years, in soldier buff or blue, ;, Brave comrades from a thousand field watch now in proud review; The same old Flag. the same old Faith-the Freedom of the
 World
 Spells Duty in those Tapping folds above long ranks unfurled. Strong are the hearts which bear along Democracy's advance, AS your dear lad, and my dear lad, go on their way to France. The word rings out; a million feet tramp forward on the road, Along that path of sacrifice OCT which their fathers strode. With eager eyes and cheeks af1ame, with cheers on smiling lips, These fighting men of IT move on- ward to their ships, Nor even love may hold them back. or
 halt that stern advance, As your dear lad, and my dear lad, go on their way to France.

Courts View of a Stacker. Waterbury Republican,

Young men of the country who are returning to college or school this fall as well as the young men who gather in the army encampmentS will do well to read what Judge Mullan of the su- preme court in New York city said to a Columbia university junior. Leon Samson was appealing for a manda- mus order on the university to force it to take him back into the univer- s1ty for the coming school year. Sam son, it will be remembered, was ex- pelled for his action last spring in re- sisting the draft and encouraging others to do likewise. Judge Mullan in telling him he would be a menace to the university, said:
 By common consent of civilized mankind through the ages, not the least important of the functions of school or college has been to instill and sink down into the minds of the students love of truth and love of country Does language of the sort used by the palintiff at public meet ings make him a real or political menace to the morals of the student body and blot on the good name and fame of the honored university whose degree he seeks?
 w notuST tHc COnOuCI comes within the accepted definitions of sedition or treason I have not con- cerned myself to inquire. It is suf11- cient for me that he and his kind are attempting to make unsuccessful a war that this country has declared and is waging. That 1t should be inn possible for such person to remain at liberty to make common cause with our enemy Is the view of many, but that consideration Is beyond the scope of this inquiry
 What I have to do with Is the ques- tion whether the plaintiffs continu- ance at Columbia university with the inevitable close contact in which that would place him with impressionable young men of his own age, who might be innoculated by him with the poison of disloyalty, is likely to constitute a menace to the university. I think 1t would, and that the defendant was well within it's rights in refusing fur ther to extend to him it's privileges and opportunities
