colossal Cheek"

The German announcement that any cap
tured American who has shotgun in his hands
will be executed at once and that if America
continues to furnish shotguns to its troops
aother reprisals" will be carried out is based on
the statement that the use OF such weapons is
forbidden by The Hague conventions" This
ID curious proposition worth bit of analysis.
Article II, section %, of The Hague conven-
tlon of 1899, and the same numbered section
and article of the convention of 1907 in identical
language, prohibit the use in land warfare Of
arms, projectiles or materials "propres causer
maux superfus." The record copy is, of course,
in French How vagueness appears in this may
Be- noted from the TACT that the same French
words are differently translated in the official
text OF the twosconventions. The English text
Aof 1899 makes the phrase read "of nature to
cause superfuous injury" The text of 1907
makes 1t Calculated to cause unnecessary suf-
fering" That is the nearest thing to any men
} ton Of shotguns.
No military man will say that such injury as
Il necessary to stop an enemy soldier from
further fighting Is "superhuous injury" The
shotgun does stop such soldier with less risk
to his life than rife involves, but perhaps with
more Suffering" The average man would
rather be stopped with buckshot than with a
rife bullet Pain may be greater, but life is the
important thing.

Insincerity Of Austrian Overtures.

Again Austria invites belligerents to a dis
cussion of peace terms, but in such fashion as
to plainly show lack of sincerity. In the list
OF delegates assembled at Vienna to storm the
world with the newest proposal we find WEEK
erie, Tisza, Apponyi and Andrassy, all past
masters in the gentle Austrian art of double
crossing. Prince Macmillan, "pacihst" chan
cellor Of the German empire, is collecting a cab
met OF political misfts and nondescripts, pre-
tending to be coalition of all Germanys inter-
ests but really makeshift gathered in hope of
fooling somebody.
Each OF the Hungarian statesmen named is
reactionary to the limit; the tugo-Slavs have
groaned under the Magyar oppression for gen.
erations, and now the incarnate heads of that
tyranny are set up as evangels of just and last
ing peace. In Germany we find Schiedemann,
socialist, who connived with Erzberger to over
turn Won Bethmann-H olweg and then acceoted
Michaelis and later Won Hertling, filling place
in the cabinet; Won Hintze changing parties that
he may retain the portfolio Of foreign minister.
Iroeber, defender of the Brest-Litovsk farce,
and finally Prince Macmillan declaring his sup
port OF the Reichstag resolution of July, 1917.
Where can any hope for peace founded on
impartial justice for all nations spring from such
group' Representatives of system of inter-
national politics that has been sent to the dis
card, they inspire no confidence in a world
grown both wary and weary Of their machina-
tons.

Where the sunsets are the brightest
And where everything Is best

And the dusky twilight falls,
Then my heart goes out In answer
As the voice of Helmweh calls

Where they're missing me today,
And the time when~Ill go back Their
