The .,Woman's

BY HARRIET CHAPEL
OF 1hs Yss6ssss

Ages ag0-that 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

a Philistine feeling that there were

Dolly listened to those lectures and
even tmidly put my questions when
the proper time for question came.
They were nice people. those friends,
AMI 1 am very grateful for the oppOr-

me.
But my first question, Suppose some
svil-minded nation Is really bent on ag-
gresslon, what means can be used for
curb;ng it without warfare?" never re-
ceived direct answer. That was be-
cause they blandly assumed that all ma
lions are really bent on peace and wars
arise purely from misapprehensions
therefore what Is needed is agreements
to arbitrate and to boycott fretful ma
lions. So simple!

MY suppositiOn that there might be

frightfully crude. but somehow it lin

on international agreements and eco

mote and so conditional upon the good
Will of the parties-which good will
would keep the peace anyway-that I
grew doubtful of their practical value.
But a second problem there was,

Why Cant l Kill

Jolt. Instead Of lauding me to the
skies, the authorities arrest me. and
hold me on the technical charge Of
murder. Why2 Well. In the first place.
when the facts come out. the situation
Is n little inconvenient. One of the two
men have killed turns out to be a
secret service man, who has pretended
to be 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 can
be carried out. Therefore in this par
ticular case. one of the men have
killed turns out to have been not only
patriotic American citizen, but a
very valuable American citizen. In my
excess Of zeal have overstepped the
mark. Perhaps 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 IL an enemy allen.

why? He is civilian, not assigned to
duty, and not acting under orders. He
is not warrior-he Is not police

with several rights. In the first place,
he may defend himself, his home. his
household, his chattels, to the death.
In the second place, he has the right
Of arrest. Where a crime is committed
in his presence. he can arrest the
offender; If 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-.
