THE MOB LAW.

The President has given out mes
sage to the people of the United
States regarding mob law. The fol-
lowing editorial is taken from the
Commercial Appeal on the subject:
"Mr. Wilson's appeal to the Amer
lean people to go slow in taking into
their hands the summary punishment
Of lawbreakers in one Of the most ell
oquent of his many addresses. He
was handling matter that struck
deep at the heart of our highest legal
ideal--the protection of human life
and his words caught even an unu-
sual amount of considerate attention.
There MUST be no more lynch
ings during the period Of the war;
there SHOULD be no more during
the history of the country. We have
adequate laws for the punishment of
even such criminals as incur public
anger and inflame public passions to
white heat. We must learn to let the
mills of justice do our grinding, and
not turn the millstones ourselves.
Every lynching here is heralded in
Germany as proof of American
barbarism off-setting Hun atrocity.
Can we afford to lower ourselves to
such a debased level? The President
has looked beyond the horizon and
seen the scales in which Germany
weighs us after each lawless outbreak
over here" L.
He says:
1--WE proudly claim be the cham
pions of democracy. If we really are
in deed and in truth, let us see to it
that we do not discredit our own. /
say plainly that every American
who takes part in the action Of mob
or gives it any sort of countenance
is no true son of this great democra-
cy, but is betrayer, and does more
to discredit her by that single dis
loyalty to her standards of law and
of right than the words of her states
men or the sacrifice of her heroic
boys in the trenches can do to make
suffering people believe her to be
their savior. How shall we commend
democracy to the acceptance of other
peoples, if we disgrace our own by
proving that it is, after all, no pro-
lection to the weak?"
"Inother words how are we to
pick the mote from another's eye
while the beam is in our own? 1t is
the old biblical question in new set
ting"
The disorders which the president
had forcibly in mind just now were
no doubt the outburst against the
pro-Germans and dislyoaltists, al
though the lynchings of negroes for
the unthinkable crime is just as alb
horrent to him. The country is full
of luke-warm COMMUNICATIONS or
whole-hearted German smypathizers,
and the temptation to the kinsmen Of
our boys fighting so bravely in France
to finish this antagonistic spirit Turk
ing at home is strong indeed. The
desire and the will to strike and strike
is perfectly appreciable. If uncon-
trolled 1t spreads like contagion and
runs quickly to mob violence. It is
haf against which the President
peaks soS

 '"The Germans feel this, and are all
 r'ady taking means to strengthen their numbers characteristic ally thorough, characteristically lack irg in fine feeling. Quite early, when it became evident that the population
 question would be instant, German women began to protest that woman's dignity and right to her own person must be respected. They knew well what they had to be afraid of! And now we learn that they were justifi- ably on their guard. The papers tell us that the German government is en- couraging Lateral marriages urging married couples to obtain consent of their partners to contract temporary unions with others, unions which are to come to an end when children have been born. Women are especially ex- horted to do this, those in particular one supposes, whose husbands are in the trenches. And who has not been mortified to learn of the carrying off of children born of German fathers in the occupied territories? And again.
 of the carrying away of French chill
 dren, of girls and of women? This has not been purely wanton cruelty: It
 has been part of a deliberate policy, the same policy which made Bismarck encourage easy legitimatizing of chill
 dren. What would become of my ar-
 mics? he is said to have exclaimed in reply to the advocates of a strfcter morality. Well! England and France also have their population problem, anw we in turn shall have ours.

 bring this about will tax the best et a | forts of our statesmen.

One of the most important activities of woman in war time, an activity TOT which she is peculiarly fitted, is the care and protection of the nation children, according to Miss Caroline Ruutz-Rees, chairman of the commit tee on woman's activities of the Con necticut Council of Defense and head mistress of Rosemary Hall. Miss Ruutz-Rees said:
 "Whv must our nation conserve it's children? That is a question which inspires in most women the same sort of embarrassment that geometrical problems cause in minds without aptl- tude for distractions, Why attempt to prove what any one can see? What reasons can one find for what any one would take for granted?
 By instinct we women feel that children's welfare has a profound inn pcrtance: by instinct we not only care for our own, but are uneasy that chIl- dren should be i'll cared for anywhere without our kin. And this instinct has been fOstered into sentiment and conviction by all sorts of movements in which women have taken an active part ana llNely interest, SuCIl elSS ll4C llindergartcn and Montessori move ments, the movement for free school lunches, for day nurseries, for Homes or for placement in truer homes, and so on.
 'The recent establishment of the Childrens Bureau was proof that the welfare of children was, even before the war, in the category of things worthy of political consideration. It had become evident even then that. if the nation was to be built up, physic' ally and morally, it's children must be cared for; but what then gave anxi- ety to the thoughtful student of social conditions is now a problem forced upon the attention Of every intelligent citizen.

The Czechoslovaks are the most western
OF the great Slav peoples. They are COM
posed OF the Czechs who inhabit Bohemia,
Moravia, and Silesia, which are provinces
of Austria, and of the Slovaks who live
in Slovakia, i. e.. in the most northern
counties of Hungary. They number about
nine millions, of, whom three-quarters are
Czechs and one-quarter. Slovaks Both
peoples are Of the same race, and the two
languages are so closely akin that a per-
