the submarine will not be pro.
hibited, but that its size will be
restricted and that it will be re-
quired to conform to the laws
of cruiser warfare. But who is
to compel obedience to this pres
cription? Suppose all submarines
were to be scrapped; the
planeair would remain, and with
it unlawful and fiendish practices
would be possible. The Lusitania
could have been sunk by bombs
from above as we'll as by torpe-
does from beneath. If the will
to ruthless warfare exists, the
means will not be lacking.
Take the matter Of the use of
poison gas in war. 1t can:be leg.
islated against, but will that suf-
flee? A British officer, Major
Lefebure, has been writing
about the immense difficulty Of
really forbidlng or controlling
the production of toxic gases for
war purposes. Nobody proposes
to suppress all chemical works, in
Germany or other countries, yet
they can easily and impercepti-
bly, be turned into factories of
deadly gas. The case is entirely
different from gun-making or
supplies of ordinary ammunition.
"The chemical arm," concludes
Major Lefebure, tends to
escape all the normal conditions
of limitation which apply to
mechanical arms.
Some contend that the very
cruelty and horror of chemical
warfare will prevent civilized
nations from ever resorting to it.
But we cannot be sure of that.
Plausible excuses could be found.
The Germans found them when
they began asphyxiating their
enemies. The awful war would
be the sooner over for employing
terrible weapons of war. Any
other country, driven by mad
ambition, or made desperate by
fear of defeat, might make out
case for the use of poison gas
anyhow, would use it, if suffi-
clently ruthless.
How, then, is ruthlessness to
be held securely in check? Not
by making all nations humane
and scrupulous and tender heart
ed. 1t is the actual, not a milen-
NAL, world with which we have
10 deal It's not conversion of evil
men that must be aimed at, but
their control. And that is to be
in the matter of ruth
ess warfare, only by destroying
all motive to it. A nation tempt
I'd to be brutal, as Germany was,
must be given to understand that
The first display of barbarism in
warfare would bring all other
civilized countries upon its back.
In short, nothing but a solemn
International agreement unitedly
% oppose and to punish the ruth
ess making of war can assuredly
prevent it. This the League of
Nations undertook to do. But if
he government at Washington
intends to scrap that along with
,attleships, it is bound to sup
,ort the same principle and
levise other machinery to achieve
he same ends. Otherwise it will
cave the world still in terror of
leath raining upon women and
children from the sky and of
whole cities turned into cemete-
les by something worse than
he pestilence that stalketh in
darkness. The only way to make \
IRE that war will not again be
uthless is to make it certain in

lot pay, and that those guilty of

punishment. That, to be sure,
