The assassination Of DR.. Pozzi In
Paris has ended the useful life Of one
of the most illustrious OF French sur
geons and perhaps the one most widely
known In England and the United
States. He was the victim Of man
upon whom he had performed an opera
ton for cerebral lesion, but whom he
was unable/to cure. This man, owing
to increased sufferlngs and mental dis
turbance, was obsessed with the Idea
that the famous surgeon was RESPONSE
Bile for his condition, and In his de-
mented state resolved to avenge him i.
self upon the scientist who had done
his utmost to restore him 70 normally.
Professor Pozzi had wide acquaint-
anco In Paris. where he is mourned by
thousands of poor women whom he
treated in the hospitals and by thou
sands more In aristocratic and artistic
circles, where he was a welcome
friend. In the course OF his long pro-
fessional life he had been a surgeon
in the hospitals, a professor OF the
Paris Faculty Of Medicine, and had
made many innovations in surgery.
especially with regard to the diseases
of women.
He had created model wards for the
diseases Of women at the Broca Hos
pital, where he was surgeon in chief
for thirty years. He was II years old
and had almost ceased operating. His
art demands the vigorous hands and
the clear sight of the man who has
not yet passed maturity. But he al
ways continued TO take a passionate
interest in everything pertaining to
his profession. II was he who, as
the result of journey to the United
States, made known in France the
splendid discoveries made by our COM
patriot DR.. Carrel in his New York
laboratory, discoveries which found a

In his youth Pozzi was a splendidly
handsome man. one OF the most per-
feet types Of masculine beauty that
have ever seen. and, despite the years,
he had aged very little outwardly. An
admirable portrait Of him by Sargent
is in existence. In 1t he is pictured
draped In his red robe Of professor of
the faculty OF nhedicine--the profess
sors Of tho four faculties, literature,
law. medicine, and science. are the only
ones in France who have preserved
the .pomp Of this costume. Pozzi kept
this air OF a Doge Of Venice with
which he went through life.
The great preoccupation--I had
almost said the principal ambition
of this illustrious surgeon. to whom
no honor WAS lacking, was to live as
a gentleman. He was a magnificent
horseman. and in the sales d'armes a
fencer of the first order. He would lay
down the lancet to take up the poet s
pen; last year, In the Rerue dc Paris.

Instead Of advancing wages higher

stored to them. There will at first be
opposition to the movement to restore

The Ksiser In International Law.

The Kaiser has caused q message
to be sent to the Burgomaster Of
Frankfort In which the officials and
people Of that city arc assured that
the Emperor deeply sympathizes In
the misfortune which has befallen the
open town Of Frankfort as the re.
suit Of an enemy attack which was
contrary to international law and
claimed many victims"
No doubt the Kaiser is consider
ably stirred by the effect produced
by Allied air raids on Frankfort.
Those raids have had a most dis
turbing influence on German civil.
ians. But why does the great crimi-
nal under international law drag In
that code he has violated In every
provision which seemed to hpr him
from attaining his ambitions?
The Kaiser began the war, with
the lawless, criminal, indefensible in
vasion Of Belgium, u nation not only
entitled under international law to
immunity from his attack, hut to the
protection of whose neutrality Ger
many was specifically bound by sol.
emn treaty. Luxembourg also was
seized and Is held in bondage by the
kaiser's arms In cynical contempt Of
international law.
The whole business Of murder BY
U-boats, the sinking OF unarmed mer-
chantmen without warning, the de-
struction Of neutral ships and the
killing Of their crews, Is carried on
by Germany In defiance Of interna-
ticnal law. THE Sun has shown that
the destruction of American fishing
boats not only violates international
law but Is done in complete con-
tempt Of treaty engagements Of Ger.
many with the United States entered
into with the greatest care and par
ticularly designed to endure even
though the two Powers be at war.
German air raids on English and
French open towns have been
planned, organized, carried out, not
once, but many times. without regard
to International law, until the civil
lized world has been forced 10 Wcog-
nize, reluctantly and against Its will,
that for Germany there Is no interna-
tional law that conserves the rights
aud privileges Of other nations.
International law has been Knocked
by Germany In its treatment Of civil
ians in every nation German armies
have invaded; whenever n hospital
has been attacked, wherever an am
bulance ship has been torpedoed.
And yet the head and front, the
titular chief and principal benefi-
ciary OF German crime, has the au.
dacity to appeal to international law.

WITH THE EDITORS
TOWNLEYISM AND GOOD ROADS

Townleyism, it appears, is opposed to the plan
to issue bonds to build state system of perma-
nent good roads.
That ought to help-ought to help the good
roads movement, and ought to help further to H.
illuminate the question whether Townleyism is or
is not real friend of the farmer.
If Townleyism is opposed to the movement. it
appears to be about the only element in the state
that is opposed to it.
The fact is that this plan is an absolute neces-
sity. Minnesota will never get really good roads
roads that will stand up, roads that will make
it possible to shorten the route from producer to
consumer by motor truck service, roads that will
cheaper the cost of getting the farmers output
to the market and of getting the farmers pur-
chases to his home-in any other way.
Since the cost of this road system is to come
out of automobile owners, some protest might pos
sibly have been looked for from them. None has
come, and none is likely to come. While the in
terest and retirement funds will come out of auto
mobile license fees, these fees will be in lieu Of all
other automobile taxes and the automobile owner
will pay little more than he does now. What in
crease it does entail will be far more than made
up by the fact that his upkeep cost will decrease
very materially when he has good, hard roads to
ride on. ' s>.*a; .....
If Townleyism has decided to oppose this move
ment-apparently because it looks like fatal COM
petition to it's plans to bond the state for socias
tic enterprises-it will be making as great mis-
take as it did when it offered the author of 'Why
Your Country Is at War" as it's candidate for gov

THE SOLDIER SHOULD KEEP HIS INSUR.
ANCE


One of the wisest things the government of the
United States did in it's war preparations was to
substitute an intelligent government life and cas-
ualty insurance system for the Anticipated pen
sion system with all it's gross but inevitable
abuses
One of the best pieces of advice that can be
given to the returning soldier is to hang on to
his government insurance
At any time within five years of the declara-
ton of peace, the soldier can change his war
period term policy into ordinary life, limited pay
ment life or endowment insurance. The quicker
he does it the better The more of it he can carry
the better.
War insurance is cheap because the govern-
nnent sells it at the ordinary term insurance rate
of the life insurance companies, carrying itself,
as it should, the extraordinary risk of war. Reg
ular insurance, Sue has it is advisable to carry,
will of course cost more; but it will be worth as
much more as it costs.
An insurance concern, as believer inlife insur-
ance is urging this advice upon soldiers and has
instructed it's agents everywhere to use every
opportunity to enforce it. This company says to
the soldier in bulletin: "Hold fast to your life
insurance. The allowances and the compensation
substitute for the old pension system is given you
out of hand. But the life insurance, the most
important now of all, you can retain when muster
ed out by your own personal initiative. Do not
for moment think of dropping it. If you cannot
keep up the entire ten thousand, keep up as much
as you can possibly pay for. This society feels
qualified to advise you in this matter. 1t has
been engaged for nearly sixty years in the work
of inducing people to take and to hold life insur-
ance. And it knows of the temptations to lapse
that sometimes come to youth with health and a
strong desire to spend earnings for pleasure. And
it has seen the heartache, and often misery, that
has resulted from this very unwise waste of in
surance protection" q
To the soldier: keep your insurance Exchange
it at the earliest possible moment into as much
regular insurance as you can carry, for the young
er you when you take it the less you will have
to pay in premiums all your life.
To relatives and friends of soldiers: Be sure
that your soldier knows that the government will
exchange and carry his insurance, and urge him
