THE BRITISH LIONS SHARE.

British newspaper comment on the reply of the Allies to President Wilson's note emphasizes the "selfaface ment" of Great Britain It is pointed out that alone among the powers signing that document Britain claims nothing for herself.
 Russia is have Constantinople, France is to have AsaceLorraine, Italy is have Trieste and Dalmatia Belgium and Serbia are be evacuated and compen- stated etc But Britain now head and front the Allies bearing chief burden of the and making immense sacrifices. makes no specific demand. The impression is given that Britain will be content with the moral satisfaction of having redeemed Belgium, saved France obtained independence for the small natonal of Europe and made the future for all
 Undoubtedly this attitude the average British point of view. The British people sanctioned their countrys participation in the with conscious de sire to get any material benefit of it. but with the idea they championing wronged neghbors and doing the world service. They still think so the conviction gives comfort in the midst of sacrifices. Perhaps the responsible the policies of the British Empire the same heartfelt convc tion They need lightly be accused of nsncerity.
 Nevertheless need take all this "self-eface- ment" talk at face value We know that when Germany attacked Belgium and France England had to fight to ward off the dagger pointed at her heart" She has to win this war, or lose her place great wordpower
 Incidentally it is observable that the Allies reply makes no mention of Egypt which Great Britain has definitely appropriated since the started It makes mention either of the German colonies in Africa and the various German islands scattered the world most of which Great Britain has seized It makes mention of the territory the British have occupied and occupying the head of the Persian Gulf and up through Mesopctamia and southern Persia and ward from Egypt.
 Who will have all that territory when peace comes, if the Allies win?
 'Sefefacement' sounds good Blessed the meek for they shall inherit the earth" England has fought important war from which, whether winner loser she emerged without territorial gains She has never fought joint without getting the lions share of the spells She has genius quiet, persistent benevolent engument of the universe She has taken empire from Germany in the last two Will she give it back? If she does it will be a unique act of sefsacrifce.

CRAZY COURT PROCEDURE.


 Dr. Paul E. Bowers medical superintendent of the In- Hospital criminals, respectfully submits that procedure with regard to men ar rested for crime is itself insane and criminal
 Probably 50 per of all court trials, he are concerned with criminal cases And yet infinitely more attention is still given "the legal classification of crime and the modes punishment" than is given to the criminal jurists pacidly and contenedy continue study their books instead of men, searching in ponderous volumes of citations recting decisions the legal graveyard of the past and with crumbling, motheaten and time-worn prece dents they attempt regulate unsocia that springs from disordered mentality"
 No less than 75 per cent of the men who appear be- the disciplinary officer of the Indiana state prison he says, mentally defective In recent study that Dr. Bowers made of 100 prisoners, each of whom had been convicted fewer than four times he found that 45 insane eeble-mnded and in every instance the mental effectiveness bore direct casual relation their crimes" And they tried, sentenced and punished they responsible for their actions It's bad enough, viewed injustice to irresponsible human beings the part of stupid society But from the selfish standpoint of society itself Dr. Bowers plains it's expensive Those 45 defectives had had al together S0 trials. It is said that average than s1OOO convict prisoner Thus least s1S0000 spent in getting those mental cripples prison where they didn't belong-ony them loose again commit other irresponsible of lenses against society
 The remedy, says Dr. Bowers, is to mix medical and psychiatric knowledge with legal procedure He would have physician attached to every court to examine every prisoner physically mentally and sOcOlogicay at the time of his arrest The prisoner would be tried usual Then the physician would submit his report before the judge pronounced sentence and the convict ed would be jail, committed hospital turned to a probation officer, the facts war ranted.
 Wouldn't that be vastly sensible than our pres ent system?

HOPE OF FINDING TWO LOST AVIAT0RS
 ALIVE IS WANING
(By Review Leased Wire.)


 LA BOLSA, Sonora, Jan. 1S., (By courier to Yuma).-After a day of fruitless search, returning parties voiced the opinion tonight that there was slight hope of finding alive the army aviators, Lieut.. Colonel Harry G. Bishop and Lieut.. w. A. Robertson, IT., who have been lost in Sonora or Lower California wilds since Janu- ary 10.
 Searchers today circled all sections of Sonora from La Bolsa to Port lsa- bel. The parties, with three auto mobiles, were joined by men on horse back sent out by Colonel Esteban Cantu, military governor of Lower California. The two factions com bined and the horsemen rode through the thick brush where 1t is impos- sible for automobiles to pass.
 One of the automobile parties, ac- companied by an Associated Press representative left late today for Pima cate, following the northeast bank of the creek near Colonia for fifteen miles. From there the party will head for Fl Doctor ranch and make that section the base of supplies un- til the search is completed.
 Members of the various parties said it had been extremely cold and rainy since last Saturday and the ground was in such soggy condition the automobiles often made but one mile an hour
