Why Can't ! Kill
German?
r.
By WILLIAM HAMILTON OSBORNE
of The TigiLdntes

/ am, We'll say, loyal American
citizen, over draft and enlistment age,
with not the slightest present chance
of going to war. But l am war-like,
We'll say,-and | want to kill my
German. Why won't they let me?
One day along comes my OppOrtun-
ity. | overhear two men cOnspiring to
blow up a bridge over which a troop
train is to pass. | follow them. While
they are engaged in their operations l
draw gun and shoot them dead. l
am satisfied. l have killed two Ger
mans instead of one. And l have saved
the lives of a thousand American sol
diers. / am a hero. Nevertheless l get
jolt. Instead of lauding me to the
skies, the authorities arrest me, and
hold me on the technical charge OF
murder. Why? Well, in the first place,
when the facts come out, the situation
is little announcement. One of the two
men I 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
q patriotic American citizen, but a
very valuable American citizen. In my
excess of zeal l 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 is an enemy alien.
Why the Slayer Is 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,
why? He is 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.

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; if the
enforcement of arrest endangers his
own life, then he may take life in en-
forcing the arrest. Take two cases !:
q belligerent mob, or detachment of
enemy soldiers, descend upon village
or community. with the evident and
avowed purpose of attacking It. Every
man, woman and child in that COM
munity has the right to resist the adj
vances of that mob or squad of sol
diers. and in defending that right.

zen has the right OF arrest-but he

The WOnan'S
Peace Party
By HARRIET CHAPEL
OF The VigiidnteS

Ages agO-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
nOuncing two weeks course of lee
lures which promised vast enlighten-
ment. On their list of speakers were
notable names. | remember hearing
Professor Hull, Professor Nasmith,
Norman Angel, Madeline z. Doty and
Crystal Eastman.
| attached myself to them with great
hopes. l thought, "Now l shall hear
of & substitute for war, effective
enough to check evil doers,' for l had
a Philistine feeling that there were
evilGoers yet about.
Daily 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 means can be used for
curbing it without warfareY" never re-
ceived a direct answer. That was be-
cause they blandly assumed that all ma
tons 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!
Might Be Sinner Nations.
My supposition 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 eco
nomic penalties, appeared to me SO re-
mote and so 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. In case an aggressOr ap-
pe&red, would he be disarmed by non
resiStanceY | thought. Perhaps a ma
ton of willing martyrs, ready to be
stripped of land and life rather than
fight, would shame the world iptO
peace. But" thought l, what an

amount of educating 1t will aKe TO
tune the minds of whole people to
ms self-sacrifice Perhaps these
friends seek to do that work of educa-
tion!"
But no. They scarcely admitted the
case 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 a pacifist
but foe-hardly. Since that time
Russia'S conflagration has Illuminated
the idea, but even Russians have not
been consistent martyrs. They have
done some lively fighting when antag-
Onists have proved to be net altogeth-
er harmless.
Finally l thought, although they
have neither a practical substitute for
war. nor u holy teaching of non-resist-
ance. perhaps, still they offer the clear
est, swiftest leadership we have, and
in little while they will, perhaps. for
mulate the practical remedy" But a
third time l was disappointed.
Could Not Follow Them.
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 peo-
pie returned to a teachable mood. In
such a course they would have shown
practical leadership and good peda-
gOgy. Instead they persistently forced
their cry for peace" upon a nation
angrily conscious of throttling hand
at its throat They did more. They
went 70 Washington and hung upon the
skirts of a sorely tried government with
the aim of hampering it's action. And
their l broke with them.
Respectfully l wrote to them saying
I could no longer follow a leadership
so lacking in propriety, so out of touch
with the actual American spirit, SO
dominated by fantastic theories made
In Germany. But l had to resign a
second time before they could under
stand it.
They are, however, welf-meaning peo-
pie ard very earnest in the pursuit of
the ideal, and l am grateful for the
opportunity for study which they of
fereG in this institute. Butt wonder
if now, in the light of recent history
they have discovered that much-want-
ed substitute for war?
Or-that/ there may be sinner ma
tons?
Off they are ready now for the al
tentative of non-resistance, as in Ar
menia?
Or-if they have discovered the
American principle of cooperation and
neighborly solidarity, as an adequate
social method in place of socialism?
