The WOman'S
Peace Party
By HARRIET CHAPEL
OF Tie Ngu0ssss

Ages agOrthat Is, in the early days
of the European war. the WOman's
Peace party undertook the noble work
of curing the worlds war sickness.
They attracted my attention by an.
nouncing a two weeks course Of lee
lures which promised vast enlighten-
mcnt. On their list Of speakers were
notable names. I remember hearing
Professor Hull, Professor Nasmith,
Norman Angel, Madeline u. DOty and
Crystal Eastman.
l attached myself to them with great
hopes. l thought, "Now l shall hear
Of a substitute for war, effective
enough to check evil doers," for l had
q Philistine feeling that there were
evildOers yet about.
Daily l listened to those lectures and
even timidly put my questions when
the proper time for question came.
They were nice people, those friends.
and l am very grateful for the OppOr-
tunity OF study which they afforded
me.
But my first question, Suppose some
evil-minded nation Is really bent on ag-
gressiOn, what ean can be used for
curb:ng it without warfare!" never re-
ceived q direct answer. That was be-
cause they blandly assumed that all NIL
tons are really bent on peace and wars
arise purely from mlsapprehensiOns;
therefore what Is needed is agreements
to arbitrate and to boycott fretful ma
tons. So simple!
Might 30 Sinner Nations.
My superstition that there might be
sinner nations must have seemed
frightfully crude. but somehow it lin
gers with me yet. Their plans, based
on international agreements and c
nOinic penalties, appeared to me so re-
mote and SC conditional upon the good
Will Of the parties-which good will
would keep the peace anyway-that
grew doubtful of their practical value.
But a second problem there was.
which might bring to light a remedy
for war. I'm case an aggressOr mp
peGred, would he be disarmed by non
reslstanceY" l thought. Perhaps Il II
ton Of willing martyrs, ready to be
stripped of land and life rather than
fight. would shame the world into
peace. But" thought l, what IN

wrap is not too gorgeous to be youth
full, is clever and original enough 10
be interesting and there are NOT two
opinions aS to its beauty.
Even Paris, after four years Of war,
with air raids always imminent and
amid II thousand difficulties, has HAD
the courage to carry on its business
of creating beautiful apparel The
French feel that this is n necessity.
Their genius for clothes has been such
an asset that place for it must I've
maintained. They have been mn'h
given to black and white for evening
gowns and wraps and a cape very fnli,
of black satin lined with white satin,

%everyonc'S admiration. 1t has al I'M

are other satin capes in dark shades

lars and banded trimmings, and black

amount OF educating 1t will take to
tune the minds of u whole people to
this self-sacriice. Perhaps these
friends seek to do that work Of educa-
tiOn!"
But no. They scarcely admitted the
casc Of invasion of an unresisting peO-
pie. Neither did l hear advice to en-
dure all that might be inflicted by a
foe. Friends might prosecute n pacifst.
but a foe-hardly. Since that time
Russia's cOntiagratiOn has illuminated
the idea, but ever Russians have not
been consistent martyrs. They have
done some lively fighting when antag-
onists have proved to be not altogeth-
er harmless.
Finally l thought, although they
have neither a practical substitute for
war. moi IA holy teaching Of nOn-resist-
ance. perhaps still they offer the clear
est, swiftest leadership we have, and
In a little while they will, perhaps, for
mulate the practical remedy" But a
third time l was disappointed.
Could Not Follow Them.
AS the current of events swept the
United States toward war. these people
might have joined In the needed work
Of the hour, making themselves useful
as Norman Angel has. and deferred
their teaching Of ideals until the PEG
| pie returned to Il teachable mood. In
such n course they would have shown
| practical leadership and good peda-
gogy. Instead they persistently forced
their cry for "pence" upon n nation
angrily conscious OF n throttling hand
Mt its throat. They did more. They
went 10 Washington and hung upon the
skirts of a sorely-tried government with
the aim of hampering its action. And
their | broke with them.
Regretfully I wrote to them saying
I could no longer follow a leadership
so lacking in prdpriety. SO out of touch
witt, the actual American spirit. sc
dominated by fantastic theories made
in Germany. But l had to resign
second time before they could under
StaIiG IL.
They are. however, well-mcaning PEG
pie and very earnest in the pursuit OF
the ideal. and | am grateful for I'M
opportunity for study which they OF
ferec in this institute. Butt wonder
If row, in the light of recent history
they have discovered that much-want
ed substitute for war?
Or-that there may be sinner mn
tons?
Or-if they are ready now for the al
tentative of non-resistance, as in Ar
menia?
Or-if they have discovered ih'
American principle of cooperation ant
neighborly solidarity, as an adequate
social method in place of socialism?

because the man may tur ou o tn

cope with any situatiOn-if YOU will

citizens loyal to America are at work

has been well checked. Once a man

Why Can't Kill
a German?
slS
Bv WILLIAM HAMILTON OSBORNE
Of The Vigtiantes

I am, We'll say, n loyal American
citizen, owe draft and enlistment age,
with not the slightest present chance
of going to war. But l am war-llke,
we'll say,-and l want to kill my
German. Why won't they let me?
One day along comes my oppOrtun-
ity. l Overhear two men cOnspirinS to
blow up a bridge over which a.troop
train Is to pass. l follow them. While
they are engaged in their operations l
draw n gun and shoot them dead. l
am satisfied. I have killed two Ger
mans instead Of one. And have saved
the lives of a thousand American SOL
diers. l am a hero. Nevertheless l get
a Jolt. Instead of lauding me to the
skies, the authorities arrest me, n
hold me on the technical charge or
murder. Why? Well, in the first place,
when the facts come out. the situation
Is n little in%convenient. One of the two
men I have killed turns out to be a
secret service man, who has pretended
to be a German spy, and who has pre-
tended to fall in with the other mans
plans-his idea being to arrest him.
or even shoot him before the plan car!
be carried out. Therefore in this par
ticular case, one of the men have
killed turns out to have been not only
q patriotic American citizen. but a
very valuable American citizen. In my
excess of zeal 1 have overstepped the
mark. Perhaps 1 should be held for
manslaughter In the case of the secret
service man-but why should they hold
me for the murder Of the German!
And yet they do. He is an enemy alien.
Why the Slayer 10 a Murderer.
The facts above are purely fanciful
of course. And yet, they are significant.
He is a slayer, in the ~suppositious
case, guilty Of murder-and If so,
why7 He Is a civilian, not assigned to
duty, and not acting under orders. He
is not a wardrobe Is not a police
officer. Now, every citizen Is vested
with several rights. In the first place,
he may defend himself, his home, his
household, his chattels, to the death.
In the c place. ne mas the fignt
of arrest. Where q crime Is committed
in his presence, he can arrest the
offender; II the offender resists arrest,
the civilian may enforce arrest; II the
enforcement Of arrest endangers his
own life, then he may take life In en-
forcing the arrest. Take two cases
a b%elligerent mob, or a detachment OF
enemy soldiers. descend upon a village
or community, with the evident and
avowed purpose Of attacking 1t. Every
man, woman and child in that COM
munity has the right to resist the ad.
vances of that mob or squad Of sol
diers, and in defending that right
they have the right to kill. So. too. as
in the instance of the German who had
conspired to blow up a bridge. the citi.
zen has the right Of arrest-but he

There is no doubt that. as a rule, the
long and narrow samplers are older
than those more nearly square. These
ancient samplers. especially the few
hearing dates of the seventeenth cen
fury. are much finer in design. more
closely worked, and better in execu-
ton than those of later date. The lih-
