The new situations in which civil
cation fount itself in this war how
ever, were difficult, because of the
lack of precedent.
Had the Ia been taken priso-
ner, he coul have been held respon-
sible for crimes actually ordered by
him As he was not taken prisoner
il is doubtful whether these laws can
apply. There is no precedent in com
mon law which can be made to fit
this particular case. Moreover. under
the old law ~ Jurisprudence in Eng
land and The United states. as we'll as
elsewhere there is nothing for fhis
TO come under.
+. This fact dates back to the time
when il was held that the KING could
do W wrong.
II has been decided now to hold
the entire worli responsible before an
international tribunal. as though in a
national court. The solution finally
reached seams Ia me to have been
the wise one. and tho only one con
s'stcnt with he modern rules regard
ing responsibility for war. AS no pre-
Cedent existed it was necessary to
make one for the situation. Law is
developed from precedent to pre-
ecdcnt must he esta hlished for new
situation
The kaiser as commander in
chief Of the German army, actually
ordered the crimes of the war This
is shown botn by the history OF the
war and by his own admissions and
acts.
Unless our modern policy Of in
ternational right is to be considered
as mere rhetorical and philosophical
statements. the kaiser and others in
Germany who deliberately planned
and brought about the war must be
regarded as responsible
IT seems IN me tho peace confer
ence has acte wisely. that there will
he created a most valua bile point In
international law, and that the tri-
hnnal should exercise a most helpful
influence on International politics. In
ternational crimes cannot be treated
as mere taunts to be acted upon by a
part Of the family of nations. The
deliberate making OF war by one ma
ton will be considered in this tribunal
of nations crime against civiliza-
ton and held as the highest treason
against the family of nations"

.Chidren's Minds Should Be
Stored With Pictures They.
Can Describe in Own Words

Memorizing is a worthy mental exer-
else; but n can hardly help protest.
Ing against the practice, now happily
less common than In years Wit, In
memory, of compelling young children
to commit to memory tasks actually
painful either from their impossible
length or from their uninteresting and
unintelligible matter. The good prac-
tice Of a p~leasurable habit of learning
by heart a suitable quantity of suitable
matter has suffered from a natural re.
action; but we are now returning to
better things. and we are convinc,a
that there are few efforts more pleas
ant to children than the consciousness
of having committed to a
suitable task, that is, of having formed
a clear and complete picture of some
interesting subject.
Do not let the time pass for storing
your scholars minds with an abun,
dance of distinct pictures, which they
can represent to their own minds and
describe in their own words.-A

loCuStS as Food Date
Back to the Days of John
the Baptist, and Others

1t was not necessary for a learned
entomologist in the Johns Hopkins fac
ulty to prove the edibility of locusts by
eating a few of them and surviving the
experiment. For unnumbered centu-
ries these insects have been an occa-
sional, but considerable, part of the
diet of millions of people in several
parts of the world, and if ever those
people hear of the Johns Hopkins mans
exploit they will smile superiority and
wonder at the belatedness of his au-
dacity. The history of John the Bap-
fist is not the only recorded instance
i'm which empirical persons have anti
cipated the scientist.
Of course, locusts are edible; so are
hundreds of other insects-thousands
of them, probably-and it might not
be at all injudicious at this time, when
so much of the worlds population is
going hungry, if more attention were
bestowed on what is, after all, the
largest of new food sources. Still, the
llocusts in this country are not in much
danger as a result of the professors
revelation, even though he does say
that they taste like shrimp.

Reader Finds Comfort in
Old Books Written Without
War in the Authors Mind

If during the war it almost seemed
to some people that nothing written be-
fore 1914 had kept its old value, they
may, on the contrary, soon find them,
selves blinking suspiciously at books
written since then. Mathematicians
distinguished carefully between ''sys.
Itematic" error, which is cumulative,
and the casual errors which are as
likely to lie in one direction as the
and in the long run tend to off.
Iset each other. To the reader who is
beginning to recover a deranged critt
cal faculty the trouble with most OF
which has been written since 1914 is
that it contains a systematic error due
to the perturbations set up by the
Igreat war. The comfort of old books.
on the contrary, lies in the fact that
they were not written with the great
war lurking in some corners of the au.
lthor's mind. Whatever their errors
and prejudices, they are not bent all
lone way by a single force, and even
their prejudices neutralize each other

PARCEL POST AND PASTRY

Friday evening of last week, Mrs.
Stewart had one of her shoulder blades
fractured, and she sustained a eyere
nervou shock. Mr.. Stewart was un-
injured, but their ~two-year-old baby
received a scratched face.
Mrs. Stewart was taken to the Office
of a physician, where her injury was
treated. Later all returned home.
Mr.. Stewart and his family were on
their way to Wildwood. The machine
was loaded with cakes, pies, etc, from
the Mortified Baking Co., and these
were thrown all over the road when
the cars went together.
Champion was delivering United

time. He and Stewart saw each other,
and both stopped. Then, as neither
moved for a moment, each started his
machine at the same time.

one side, and he and his family were
pinned under the hood of the car.

Loganherry Juice May Soon
Become Popular Among the
"Soft" Drinks in Demand

"Soft drinks"-"soft" In slang mean
ing "easy to get"-may attain new i'm
portance. Soft drinks made from
fruit juices doubtless will attract many
new devotees, who will find that bev-
erages made from pure fruit juices are
decidedly healthful, cooling, refresh
ing and ~invigorating, says the United
States department of agriculture.
Because of it's pleasant flavor, the
juice of the Logan blackberry, COM
monty known as the lo~ganberry, is
very popular as a beverage. The berry
is also used in making jams, jellies
and soda-fountain sirups. Methods Of
extracting and treating the juice are
constantly being bettered. This in
dustry, already a large one, is growing
rapidly.
L~oganberry juice is naturally so Soul
tnat 1t is necessary both to dilute and
TO sweeten it to obtain a drinkable
article. The berry has a characteristic
navor. 1t somewhat resembles that of
the raspberry, both red and black, hut
is more acid than either.
Adding enough sugar to reduce sufi-
GENTLY the tartness of the juice makes
a product too sirupy to drink, unless it
Is diluted at the same time. The strip
prepared for s~oda-fountain use is not
diluted until sold over the counter.
Some of the sweetened but undiluted
juices have been labeled by manufac-
turers as Concentrated" This de-
scription is unwarranted, as the juices
have not been concentrated or evapo-
rated, but simply sweetened. They
should be properly labeled as logan
berry sirups.

THREE TRUCKS REQUIRED
TO GET CORN TO MARKET

John Wesley %Ingersell, of near Eng
lish Greek, had an experience Friday
morning of last week, which might
have resulted seriously and which as
it was will not soon be forgotten. It
seems that Mr.. Ingersoll, who is q
large truck farmer, started about 3 a.
m. with a truck load of sweet corn for
the community market at Atlantic
City and upon attempting to 0 the
first bridge on Zion Road the bridge
suddenly buckled in the center throw
ing the machine and the driver into
the water.
Ingersoll was cut more or less seri-
ously around the head and face. For
tunately, a neighbor, Frank Albertson,
came along about this time, and play
ed the part of the good Samaritan by
helping Mr.. Ingersoll out of the latter's
predicament by transferring his load
of corn to his own truck. The corn
must have been full of bad luck. how
ever, as in turning of into the Shore
Road Mr.. Albertson encountered an
other car coming from the opposite d.
rection with serious results [ both
machines and necessitating the use of
a third truck to get the produce 10

Mayor Crawford gives notice in to-

that the ordinance recently passed by
Council to regulate the parking of mo-

Main street between the Reading Rail-
road and Verona avenue will be rigidly
enforced. Main street is a narrow
street and with cars standing on both
sides it is hardly possible for a NOV
ing car to make its way through. Es-
pecially bad is the situation on Satur-
day nights. Those who have been il
