WAR is NO CRIME
BV DR.. Frank Crane

In their deliberations as to what to do with
the kaiser, and whether or not he could be
held personally responsible and be legally
punished for the war and its outrages, the
peace conference was hampered by the fact
that war is no crime. H..
For crime is breaking Of the law. IN
War is not the breaking of any human laws
1t is entirely legal
A king can command his subjects to gather
together and go forth to chop down the citi-
zens of a neighboring state burn their houses
and take their possessions, and not be anne
nable to any human court. He can't even be
"jerked up and fined" for disturbing the
peace.
On the contrary, the grateful boobs who
paid the bills and furnished their sons for
slaughter in his royal sport, will probably
build him a monument in the capitol square,
huzza at him as he rides his prancing steed
down the street, name their babies after him,
and pray for the peace of his murderous soul.
In fact, up till now, for nations there is
no law. The society of nations has always
lived in a state Of anarchy, each doing what
was right in it's own eyes.
The world has been as lawless as an Arr
IONA mining camp in the sixties.
What is called international law was but as
a chain of posies to hold lions.
No law is worth boot in Hades unless
there is some arm to enforce it. An interna-
tionaI law was myth because there was no
information.
1t is precisely to remedy this defect that
the Versailles council proposes a League OF
Nations
1t is to make the rambunctious would-be
conqueror a criminal, to be caught and hung.
and not to be glorified.
1t is to drive royal, legal, national bandits
from the highways of the world, and to sweep
the seven seas Of commissioned pirates
In the sight of God and Of normal, decent
human beings, war of offense is a crime, and
the whole kernel in the nut Of the Covenant
of Nations is to make it also crime before
the earthly law.
And, sooner or later, in some way or other,
we shall have to put policeman and gun
behind that law, and pass an O'Sullivan act
compelling all nations to give up their dan
gerous hardware

BE SINCERE
By H. AddingtOn Bruce


vF | were aseked TO make list of person
al qualities indispensable to gaining
n real success in life, I am sure that high
in my list l should place the quality of sim
certify.
Insincere people may, and often do, win
money, place, and power. But they never
know true happiness.
Surrounded though they may be by an
army of toadies and batterers, they go
through life in the bleak solitude of those
who have no friends. If m. fortune befall
them they speedily learn to the full the
meaning of the word misery.
And their insincerity itself is forever a
special risk that may bring misfortune upon
them at any moment.
Be they ever so clever in pretending to be
sincere they are certain in some way to be-
tray their real character. Soon or late they
will make slips understandable by all men.
In this connection Grenville Kleiser tells
little story which I commend to the con-
sderation of the insincere. Prefacing his
story with Beechers remark: LET no man
who is a sneak try tc be orator." MI
Kleiser goes on:
GA politician of much promise was adj
dressing a distinguished audience. The
opera house was crowded to the doors to
| hear him, and apparently he was making
a good impression upon all his hearers.
But suddenly, at the very climax of his
speech, while upward of 1000 eyes were
riveted upon him, he was seen to wink at a
personal friend of his sitting in a nearby
box, and at that instant his future political
prospects were shattered as vase struck by
| lightning.
''In that single instant he was appraised
| by that discriminating audience, and his
doom was sealed"
| All the while the insincere are similarly
and quite as unconsciously, assisting others
to form a sound, however severe, judgment
| of them.
A cynical smile, {. shrug of the shoulders
an indiscreet phrase, telltale signs innumer'
able emanate from them, despite all thei1
watchfulness. No mar can perpetually keeT
his true self under cover.
| There are moments when he is found tic
| be off his guard, tC speak, and in those
mc:Ecnt3 the manner OF man that he is Will
be Enthusiastically revealed.
| And least of all is sincerity quality that
can be successfully initiated. 1t twines
| through the whole emotional fiber, it has its
roots in the heart,
That is why those who lack it are as men
cut off from their fellows by an invisible bar
rier And why those possessing it contrive
! to find joy in life, however loWly their estate
In tune with their brother-men, they are
in tune with the universe Their sincerity is
an open sesame to all that is best IN the
world.
! Aye, even from the narrow viewpoint OF
material prosperity, sir cerity's aid is not to
be despised.
Sincerity gives wings to power" is the
way an old proverb happily puts it. &C
! through any list of acknowledged leaders in
! business and professional life You will
| find there are few who have not been pre-
eminently sincere.

John Armstrong Chaloner, great grandson
of John Jacob Aston with an estate value at
million and half dollars, is now in New
York his native city, after an absence of %
years during which time he has been an exile
from New York state to escape incarceration
in the Bloomingdale asylum for the insane to
which he was committed in 1897 on the ap-
plication of his brother. He returned to ap-
pear in cart as plaintiff in a libel suit
wants 100000 damages a special order for
bidding Cnalnor's arrest and detention as an
escaped lunatic being secured from the court
to protect him while in the state. ChalOner
escaped from the Bloomingdale asylum and
went into Virginia and later to North Caro-
lima. The courts of both states have declar-
ed him perfectly sane, but in New York he
is legally insane. He is famous for his re-
mark, 'Who's loony now" made after hear
ing that his brother, Robert Winthrop Chalo-
ner, had made over large amount of his
estate to Lima Cavallieri.
The first real thrill at the present session
of the New York legislature occurred Mon
day when Senator George F. THOMPSON, of
Niagara, chairman of the Senate Public
Service committee, charged in the open SEN
ate that he had been offered up to $780,
600" to vote favorably on the Carson-Martin

sensation and considerable disturbance has
resulted therefrom. The charges of bribery
will be thoroughly probed Senator Thomp-

connected with the offer.

perhaps a bit moreso. The situations
are grotesque; even risque in parts,
while the lines ar sometimes rather

audience is kept high in it's seats in
order to follow the bright bits OF
humor.
Mr.. Burford Hampden, as he

keenly humorous as ever, although
his present vehicle scarcely gives
him the same opportunity to display
his ability. Ida st. Leon, as the
bride, last seen here in Polly of the
Circus" also pleases her audience
with her naive personality. The en-
tire cast with perhaps one exception
is. quite above the average.
The plot has to do with loving
young couple who are planning to
elope. A minister, during an attack
of amnesia turns burglar and being
caught in the act is pressed into
