National
 Safety Measures

"More than 80,000 men, women and chil- dren were killed in our c 70 u n try last year through accident a larger casualty list than the United States suf- fered during nineteen months of war"
 This is a verbatim re- port taken from a con- servative Chicago jour- nal.
 Moreover, "25O, 1000 people were seriously injured through acci- dent III this twelve months period" says Sidney J. Williams, Sec retary of the National Safety Council.
 "We are going to try to cut down these ap- palling figures" he con- tinues. "We are going to start campaigns for public and industrial safety. We intend to or ganize s h 0 ols for chauffeurs and traffic policemen; and in 4,0O0 industrial plants we in- tend to have schools for foremen, executives and Workmen."
 It is a splendid work; doubtless it will help somewhat to cut down those appalling figures this year. But men and women would have to quit working and walk ing the streets to avoid accidents entirely.
 In addition to all pos. sible preventive meas. ures, the proVident man will not fail to carry that popular Accident and Health" insurance policy which gives him 3 valuable recompense ir case he should fall ill ol suffer accident.
 This policy, writer every day by Trustees s y S t e m Insurance Agency, 2024 First Ave nue, provides a Weekl, indemnity D aym e n while the insured is il from any cause, includ ing accident; -and alst carries all the usual pro visions covering loss O life or limb through ac cident.

HUMAN, MANAGER OF SHOE STORE SAW
 MEN NEAR OFFICE
Identified Dead Man As One of That
 Pair

Arthur F. Auman. manager of a building where the United Bond Go. office is located, told Coroner Phe1an
 today that he saw two men going to-
 ward the Bond Co. office just before
 two highwaymen tried to rob the
 place last week. The witness said he
 had seen the body of the robber shot
 and killed by Manager Joseph P.
 Strank of the Bonding Co. and he
 identified the man as one of those he
 saw that day.
 Detective George Simon of the Po-
 lice department told of finding a, bull
 let on the stairway shortly after the shooting. It is thought by the police
 that this bullet may have entered the clothes of the robber who fled down the stairs and that the missile was shaken from his garments as he ran. Joseph P. Strank resumed the stand and described how the robber stood a!s he was shot. The witness said the man was advancing toward him and was endeavoring to push over the desk when the shot was fired. Stranl thought the robber was not more than one or two feet away from the desk when he was shot. The mar was bending forward at the time. Medical Examiner Garlick said the bullet went through the robbers bodJ in almost a straight line. He thought this was due to the fact tha1 Strank was pointing the pistol up
 ward and his assailant was bending forward. The coroner continued 1 the hearing until Saturday.

 gress. The powers briefly recall, among. so many crimes, the cynical violation of the neutrality of Bel gium and Luxembourg, the barbarous and pitiless system of hostages, de- portation en masse, the carrying off of young girls from the city of Lille, who were torn from their families and delivered defenseless to the worst promiscuity; the systematic devasta- ton of entire regions without military utility, the submarine war without restriction, including inhuman aban- donment of victims on the high seas, and innumerab1e acts, against non- oombatants committed by German authority in violation of the laws of war.
 Responsibility, at least moral, for all these acts reaches up to the su- preme head who ordered them, or made abusive use of his full powers to infringe, or to allow infringement upon the most sacred regulations of human conscience.
 'HThe powers cannot conceive that the government of the Netherlands can regard with less reproduction than themselves the immense responsibility of tue former emperor.
 "Hol1and will not fulfill her interna- tional duty if she refused to associate , herself with other nations as far as her means allow in undertaking, or at least not hindering, chastisema1t of the crimes committed.
 "In addressing this demand to the Dutch government, the powers be- 1ieve it their duty to emphasize it's special character. It is their duty to insure the execution of Article 227 without allowing themselves to be stopped by arguments because it is
 not a question of a public accusation with judicial character as regards it's ! basis, but an act of high international policy imposed by the universal con- science in which legal forms have been provided solely to assure to the accused such guarantees such as l never before recognized in public law. l The powers are convinced Holland, 1 which has always shown respect for 1 the right, and love of justice, having been one of the first to claim place | in the society of nations, will not be I willing to cover by her moral author | ity the violation of principles essen-
 tial to the solidarity of nations, all of f which are equally interested in pre-
 venting the return of a similar catas-
 trophe.

CITY COURT HAD
 NO BUSINESS TO
 TRANSACT TODAY

Business in the city court today, the first Monday after the enforce ment of the prohibition law, was con- spicuous by it's absence. Only one case, that of a Portuguese, who was arrested on a warrant charging as- sault, was heard by the court, and this was nolled.
 In the old days when liquor flowed freely, Monday was the heaviest day of the week in city court circles, and the prisoners enclosure was gener- ally well filled with gentlemen who were handicapped by poor judgment of capacity. Today there was nothing doing.
 This condition may be regarded as significant-and then again it may not.
