Amiens cathedral stands alone among

this. They know that the cities they

cathedral cannot be restored They
know that every shell that crashes through
the nave or transept of Amiens is in

PRESS COMMENT.
SHORT WAY WITH TRAITORS.

Opposition to the Chamberlain bill,
which provides for turning German
spies and other fomenters Of sedltion over
to the military arm, is TO be expected.
Every war measure which gives the gov
ernment extraordinary powers is regarded
with more or less suspicion. Not since
Civil War days has there been anything
like military rule in this country. All our
national traditions are against 1t. We
like to think that our laws provide amply
for our security; we have rather exag-
gerated idea, indeed, of the power of laws
III themselves. But, in the words OF the
familiar proverb, the safety of the people
IL the supreme law. War means that this
safety is endangered in peculiar degree.
Thus during the Civil War II was found
necessary to suspend writs Of habeas
corpus. one of the most cherished rights
of free people. To turn over To courts
martial cases that are ordinarily tried IN
civil courts would be far less drastic
step. H. would affect procedure, but IT
would not affect Justice. The object of the
Chamberlain bill is simply to secure fit
and speedy punishment for serious crimes
against the nation. None will deny that
the object itself is desirable.
The civil courts have no doubt done
their best IN situation full of difficulties
They have had to take the cases rs pre-
pared by the Department of Justice and
tn deal with them in accordance with the
letter Of the Federal statutes. Now one
admitted defect in our legal system Is the
opportunity IL offers for long delays IN
reaching a final judgment, even when the
guilt of the accused is clear \ criminal
is entitled, of course to every legitimate
means of defence But this undeniably
correct theory has led IN practice Ia the
resort to meticulous tcchnlcalitics through
which the ends of justice are too often
defeated. This is danger even in time
Of peace. and the danger is multiplied in
time of war II Is neither reasonable nor
just that the lives of the men who are
fighting for us should bc imperiled by
trcasons, stratagcms aud spoils at home.
The shortest way TO deal with the plotters
is the best Philadelphia Ledger.
