The Downtrodden Autoist

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The letters from your two lawyer
correspondents in defence Of the class above
referred to are doubtless admirable reading
from the criminal lawyers standpoint In
view of the appalling toll in human life -
especially child life which is being paid TO
this Moloch. however. not few of us think
that II the Legislature would revise the speed
law by reducing the legal rate of speed TO
something like the old standard. it would be
really progressive legislation and highly be
neficent act in the interest OF the general
rublic.
There is far greater risk 10 pedestrians
from a vehicle with rubber tires on an as
rhalt pavement than there was from one
moving at the same rate OF speed when metal
tires and stone pavements were the rule.
Why the legal rate should he increased for
the former two and half times and the
actual rate from four TO five times is ques-
ton which admits of no answer consistent
with an enlightened and humane view Of the
matter
Even if il were true, which it certainly is
not. that children will commonly take the
risk OF standing in the way Of rapidly NOV
ing machine. there is far larger percentage
of chaufeurs who take fendish delight in
giving pedestrians a scare by suddenly swerv
ing their cars. especially if they see that the
individual is taking special care for his own
safety.
Conditions in this regard are intolerable,
end it is fervently to be hoped that magis-
teria severity in dealing with this particular
class OF deinquents will not relax. but rather
the reverse until some improvement at least
ir the present state Of things takes place

Germany has, as to both France and England
from the very outset down to to-day prac-
tised instant reprisal in this war whenever
she deemed her citizens or her soldiers, oelne
prisoners. we're not rightly treated. How just
~ she will scorn US and how completely tram

feather now, Mark we'll again. it is the first
n stance and how it is dealt with that deter
mine the long course of events. We should
not shrink from protecting our hapless citi-
zens now in her clutches, and certainly not
when to do so will bring upon others OF our
citizens further miseries and maltreatment.
II is not case for waiting until patience IS
exhausted; il is a case where we have every
thing to gain, now and hereafter, by imme-
date appropriate action. Nor will It bring on
a savage war. As | have said above, IT VIII
Immediately and permanently ameliorate 1t.
The value of reprisal lies in its being swift
and instant Constituted as we are de-
mocracy public sentiment. to sustain on the
Fart of the Administration the indicated
course, should be Immediately aroused. At
tention has already been called in the public
prints 10 the fact that the value well as
the necessity of reprisal was appreciated IN
the Civil War by that truly humane President
Lincoln and was practised in the cause OF
humanity.

Germany and the Doctrine of Reprisal
Blu Charles Stewart Dauison

with Germany Pass over all that occurred
before the declaration of the existence OF
state of war and begin from that time ana we
find that Germany has, as 10 US, begun 10 IN

non-combatant citizens by un!awiul slnA'hss

Reprisal Should be Prompt

The time to practise reprisal is at the out
set not when an enemy has been encour-
AGED and melted Human nature is such that
II license has been permitted an actual sense
of injury is felt when evaporation finally APP
niles a check And in regard to reprlsal II
one awaits the final outrage the reprisat
which is forced is necessarily bloody and
cruel one. whereas had the first milder steps
been suitably checked at first occurrence no
for repellent measures would ever
have arisen. So now in regard TO our war

Also this should be the fact, for all encroach-
ments upon the laws of war tend TO further
diminish the ultimate power of resistance or
the opposinC party all war being attack OF
one kind or another upon all the opposing
party's resources. Considered as whole, the
ultimate object Of war is to destroy the power
of resistance of the enemy and the laws OF
war consist merely of rules when limit pam

his adversary with infringement upon some
accented or established rule and await the re-
suit If followed by instant, swift, exact ana

and how cruel to his own is the weak senti-

Perhaps the most valuable doctrine IN IN
ternational law. or, 70 speak with greater
definition. in that branch known as the laws
Of war, is the doctrine OF reprisal, valuable
because il Is the sanction" and the only
sanction thereof So long as the human race
endures all rules will be recklessly broken II
unattended with sanctions. The sanctions
which enforce the laws of nature are some
times proximate, more often remote. Hence
natural laws are continually broken. and with
a frequency corresponding 10 the remoteness
of the appearance on the stage Of the attend
ant sanction" The penalty OF death, which
attends Immediately upon shooting ones SELL
results in comparatively few suicides, simply
because the penalty is so immediate and IS so
inevitably incurred But the same penalty
when attendant upon oyerindulgence, being
not only more remote but more uncertain OF
application. results m oyerindulgence IN one
direction or another being more frequent
than suicide The working out in human be-
ings of the result of this, itself natural law,
is itself exhibited in every relation OF human
beings, as we'll toward nature as toward eacn
other In direct accordance with the inire-
ouency, the remcteness and the ratio OF prop
ability of actually mourning a penalty does
man conduct himself we'll or i'll. Laws unac-
companied by sanctions are but seldom OBJ
served In civil life the courts Of justice con-
troll the individual and supply the sanctions.
In war no courts o. other tribunals control
the enemy and none but party TO the con-
fict can compel correct action on the part OF
the other and this only By applying that
sanction known as reprisal If the laws OF war
arc disreqarded
