Enatand's Revolution.
From the Indianapolis News

From the Indianapolis News.
The English habitually make changes in
their political. economic and social life
slowly. II might almost he said that the
British empire has been built on a policy
of Industrious conservatism. The war. OF
course. upset the orderly sequence of
events in the lives of F;nglishmen. and
some observers have lately commended that
it introduced them to the possibilities Of
organized violence as a means of accom-
l~lishing some much needed reforms.
The Industrial commission which this
country sent to England 4 few months
ago to find out about how strong the
British government Is with the people.
now reports. through unofficial inter
views with members. that a revolution in
England is not only u possibility, but "a
strong probability. but there is no boil
shevisin. nor will there be. The wide
spread destruction OF property merely to
satisfy a grudge or emphasize an argu-
ment or make a holiday for a lot Of born
vandals does not, it appears. appeal to
English worhingmen. Their idea of a
revolution is well behaved seizure Of the
government by expression of opinion at
the polls. In short. it is nothing more
serious than Il democratic pee,ic decid-
INK by lawful methods how thoy will get
along.

The Crime Of Aces.

From the Springfield Republican
There must. be a very widespread feel
Ing that with the former kaiser a largo
number Of other men deserve to be tried
for the crime of bringing on the war.
Guilty as the kaiser Is. in a moral sense.
1t is absurd to thinls OF him as the only
one bearing responsibility for what has
happened. A tribunal that could sift the
question OF personal guilt to the very bot
tom would not he severely limited to any
u country in finding culprits. nor would
it's Inquiries be confined even to the pres
ent generation. The evil that men do
lives after thern-especially in laying the
foundations of wars. II there could be a
graau inquest after every war. in order to
nx che moral guilt of everyone con-
cerned in causing it. the world might be
the gamer. A trial of tho kaiser. however
far removed it might be from an i'm
partial or legal procedure. might be an
excellent departure from previous inter-
national practice if it should establish a
precedent that in later times could be
~broadened and applied on . comprehen-
SiVD scale.

FLEMING STONES THEORY.

Alone in the library. Fleming Stone
and Detective Hardy we're in counsel.
I'm going to show you this thing
as see it, Mr.. Hardy" said Stone.
Il frankly admit it's all theory, |
haven't a particle of human testimony
to back it. but it seems to me the only
solution that will fit all points of the
mystery. And l shall ask you to con-
slider it confidential for the present,
until can corroborate it by unmis-
taxable proofs"
Hardy nodded assent, his eyes fixed
on the speaker in a sort Of fascination.
This young detective had not been
at all idle OF late. but his work had
amounted to nothing definite, and
though he was himself convinced that
Pauline Stuart was responsible for her
aunt's death. he seldom exploited that
view before Stone. having learned that
It was an unwelcome subject.
Here's the theory In a. very small
nutshell" said Stone. .but remember,
you're not to mention It to anyone un-
til I give you permission. Miss Lucy
Darlington took that powder. thinking
It a drug that would make her beauti-
full"
"a charm! a phlter?" Hardy's eyes
seemed to bulge In his excitement.
I'm not sure whether It was q fake
magic affair. say. from q clairvoyant or
fortune teller. or whether 1t was a
plain swindle from . beauty doctor or
something Of that sort. You know
such people play on the crodulity Of
rich patrons and get enormous sums
and q PROMISE OF secrecy for a SO
called beauty producer"
But why would the beauty doctor
or the clairyoyant person give a pa
ltfent poison"
They didn't. They gave a harmless
powder. and some evil minded person
added tho aconite. secretly, knowing

He reports the reign of terror the boil

from Letvia was far worse than that be-

imprisoned 1000 alleged agtators and

necessary to shoot 400 more. Col. Green
says many of these prisoners are I'M

ident Wilson received the news of
the overthrow of the Scheidemann

the American peace delegation. He
regarded it as an indication that the

The president told the delegation
that if the Germans sign he will
leave for America on the same night.
If they refuse he will leave a day
or two after their decision is made
known.
Optimistic View.
The American peace delegation
views the Italian developments op-
timistically, believing that Francisco
Nitti, former minister of finance, who
is said TO be slated to succeed Or

They are hopeful of speedy settle

believed here hat Orlando's failure
to impress the peace conference,
