Danger Frequently Overlooked.
There is one danger which is fre-

THE statement made today by Gen. eral Greene, commander of Camp Lewis, that three leading citizens or Seattle were waxing rich off the vice conditions of that city, may be near CT the truth. than the general imag- ined when he made his rash state ment. Seattle has always been wicked, and Seattle will probably always be wicked so long as her leading busi- ness men and officials encourage graft and vice. While sporadic attempts have been made to clean up the city, the mayor and the whiskey ring have defeated every effort to better con- ditions. So vile and so bold have the leaders in crime become that the av- craze sourdough is forced to hide his poke when sighting the Modern Sod om and d draw on his friends until he left it's confines.

"WORLD WAR" NO MisNOMER

The expression world war; at least until the United States entered the struggle, was regarded by many writers as misnomer. Notwithstand- ing that a greater area of the worlds surface was involved in the conflict even at that time. than ever before in history, it was argued that because nations with such vast populations and territories as the United States and China remained neutral, the war was not approximately a world war.
 It can be said almost literally to- day that the whole world is engaged in this titanic struggle. More than fifteen-sixteenths of the earth's popu- lation is in the war and incidentally, the proportion is ten to one against the Teutonic allies-Germany, Aus tria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
 At the present time tyenty-one na- tions are arrayed against the central powers. The twenty-first country to align itself with the cause of democ- racy was Uruguay Indeed, it may al most be said that there are twenty two, for Ecuador has announced that it will not receive the German min- ister accredited to its capital, and the state department at Washington re- gards this decision as a breach of diplomatic relations.
 The enemies of the kaiser and his allies, in order of their entrance, are Serbia, Montenegro, Belgium, France, Russia, Great Britain, Japan, Portu- gal, Italy, Greece, the United States, Cuba, Panama, China. Siam, Brazil, Costa Rica, San Salvador, Argentina, Peru. Uruguay and, Ecuador. of these no formal declarations of war have been made by. the Last six.

The figures take into account not only
the actual cost to the consumer of al
coholic drinks, but the cost of crimes
due to alcoholism, the distribution of
charities to victims of alcohol, and the
loss of salaries through alcoholic ILL

French people drink altogether per

HOW MUCH SHOULD A COP
STAKE" BEFORE USING
"BILLIE;' ON PRISONER

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 23.-Has a
policeman any right to retaliate or
any legal way of stopping it, when 4
drunken or angry prisoner curses him
in language which the policeman, if q
private citizen, would have a right to
resent with blows?
Again the point has come up in con-
nection with the handling of DRINKS
and other unruly offenders in Atlanta.
Various hourts of Georgia have taken
different views on the subject, so that
there is no sure precedent based on
laws of this state, and a lawyer de-
tending a client here has cited re-
cent ruling by an Iowa state court in
which it is declared that a prisoner
has an inalienable right 20 swear at
the policeman who is arresting him,
and that such action does not consti-
tute resisting arrest or any ether pun
ishable offense, unless the cursing is
done in the presence of third party,
who is not policeman, and whom the
cursing might offend To be cursed,
in the view of the Iowa court. is a
part of the policeman's job.
Atlanta policemen usually take this
same charitable view when a prisoner
is SO drunk or angry that he doesn't
know what he is doing, but every once
i'll while it gets too much for the cop.
and he gets mad and whacks the in
