Ignorance and Death.

It has been often said that igno-
rance is the cause Of much sacrifice
Of life. This is especially true in the
hazardous occupations, such, for in
stance, as mining. Hundreds Of lives
have been destroyed because Of the
ignorance of few men, who have
failed to understand the dangers at
tending the use of fire in under
ground workings. Yet ignorance is
not an excuse for these disasters. In
all mines are posted notices, in vari-
ous languages, warning all who enter
against striking matches for the
Lighting of pipes or other purposes
Despite these specific urgings of dan
ger, matches are struck, safety lamps
are opened and then explosions oe.
cur, with terrible results.
Familiarity with explosives, cou-
pied with Ignorance, makes bad
combination. An "aecident" occurred
Christmas day at small town neal
Washington, Pa. A coal miner car
Iied home a keg Of blasting powder
that had become damp. He wanted
10 test it to see if it had dried, and
Evening star., 1919-12-28

for two years systematically trans.
porting immense quantities Of ma
chinery and ore to their own factories
in Germany. The defense was that
these acts were committed in obe-
dience to orders from grand head
quarters, but it was proved at the
trial that Rocking and his brothers
acted on their own initiative.
This Is the first case Of punishment
for war crimes OF this character.
Others will doubtless follow Those
guilty Of barbarities and pi1age and
systematic. destruction who have been
identified. will be brought to book
from time to time. When the peace
treaty has been ratified the courts
will doubtless be sitting almost con-
tinuously in many places trying these
offenders. France and Belgium can.
not make good their losses through
judicial reprisals, but tho punish
ments awarded will be justified in
the eyes Of the world q necessary and
deserved.
Evening star., 1919-12-28

setting the open keg in front Of .
fireplace, threw q handful Of the pow
der on the flames. This powder
flared, a spark entered the open keg
and the house was blown up, A girl
was killed, tho parents were mortally
hurt and q boy was badly burned.
There is no way to safeguard
against such shocking Indifference to
the rules Of safety. If those who are
careless were the only victims Of their
own recklessness and ignorance the
public might not feel the same degree
of distress. But usually such an act
sacrifices other lives. The motorist
who drives his car upon railroad
track without assuring himself of per-
feet safety imperils and often sac
riices others than himself. The
miner who lights pipe in a gaseous
mine puts in jeopardy all other oc-
cupants of the mine.
No matter how often the perils of
explosives are proclaimed these
chances are taken and the casualty
roll of the country tells the tale Of
the consequences. There seems no
escape from the result Of defiance of
the rule that powder and fame or gas
and fame cannot be brought together
without a smash.

The Rent Commission.

Decision by Judge Aukam Of the
Municipal Court that the Ball law
rent commission is the only resort for
disputes involving landlords and
tenants in tho District, inasmuch as
the Court of Appeals has declared the
act unconstitutional, rem
ders it more than ever urgent that the
commission should be named speedily.
1t has now been several weeks since
the Ball bill was signed, and the hope
was that the commission would be
named and in working order quickly.
Presumably there will be no an
nouncement Of the selections until
after Congress reassembles, inasmuch
as these are presidential appoint
ments, subject to confirmation by the
Senate. 1t may be questioned by
some whether the Municipal Court
can free itself Of jurisdiction ON the
ground Of the appellate courts ral-
ing on the Salisbury act, inasmuch
as appeal has been taken from that
decision to tho United States Supreme
Court, this appeal acting as a stay
pending final adjudication. Under
the terms Of the Ball act the Sanls-
bury resolution was to remain in
force and applicable for ninety days
after the confirmation of the COM
missioners. A nice question arises
whether that act, If it is still in force
pending Supreme Court decision, is
to be administered by the commission
when appointed or by the judicial
tribune heretofore provided, namely,
the Municipal Court. Whatever the
decision may be in this respect, it is
most desirable that the commission
should be promptly organized.

Ambassador Pezet.

Though he has not yet been re-
eeived by the President, whose ill.,
ness has compelled the postponement
Of that ceremony, Federico Alfonso
Pezet has established himself as the
ambassador from Peru at Washing
ton, thus renewing relationship that
continued for a considerable period
when Mr.. Pezet was here as minister.
It is gratifying to welcome him back
to this capital, where he made a host
Of friends, both official and personal,
during his previous stay. To an ex-
ceptional degree this accomplished
diplomat adjusted to the thought and
manners and habits of America, hav-
ing become thoroughly familiar in
course Of visits here with the customs
and ideals of the people Of the Unit.
ed States. During his absence from
Washington Mr.. Pezet's post has been
raised from the status Of legation to
that Of embassy, and it is particular
" pleasant now to find him restored
to duty with higher honors and ad-
vanced rank, for which he. is 80 ex-
ceptionally qualified.

Punishing War Crimes.

A German officer has been convict
ed by court-martial at Amiens, France,
on a charge Of organizing the pillage
of factories in eastern France. This
man, Robert Roeckling, was the ad-
ministrator Of mines at karlsruhe,
and under his direction in November,
1918, just before the armistice, he
collected material and machinery
from the factories and destroyed it.
He and his two brothers were "steel
kings" in Germany. One Of the
brothers was a member Of the armi
stice commission and another was a
member of the peace delegation. They
we're thus rendered immune from pun
ishment, but the Amiens court-mar-
tial has nevertheless convicted them
by default. The one who stood trial
was given a penalty Of ten years. i'm
prisonment, followed by fifteen years
of exile, with a fine of 10,0O0,OO
francs. The crime Of these brothers
consisted not merely of destroying
material just before the armistice, but
