are getting some of the horror Of
aeroplane bombing that Germany has
inflicted upon France and England
for years are squealing their heads
of and denouncing the practice as
against international law. II is just
the physic the Germans need to make
them realize the horrors OF war. They
cannot be reasoned with. They know
absolutely nothing but force, and it
is only through force that they can be
brought to their senses. Let the allies
harry Germany as Germany has har-
ried France and Belgium and they
will yell enough. And that is what
Germany must get before peace can

The Hon. Jennette Rankin, of Mon
tana, the only woman who has ever
been elected to congress, became am
bilious with taste Of public life and
sought the nomination for United
States senator from her state on the
republican ticket. AS republicans are
100 per cent loyal, and then some,
Miss Rankin was properly defeated.
As congressman her record was
anything but brilliant. The novelty
Of her being the first female elected
to that body attracted much attention
to her. but her ability is mediocre, her
attitude on measures before congress
was guided by sentiment and not rea-
son, and had she appeared in a legis-
lative body body of her own sex she
would not have attracted passing no.
tice. When war was declared against
Germany she took stand against the
administration, and as a result she
has been repudiated by the loyal ma
jority Of her party. Had she stood
true to her country in the supreme
test there is every reason to believe
that she would have enjoyed the dis
tinction Of being the first woman
chosen to the senate, as she has the
distinction of being the first woman
elected to congress.
