1t would seem to be of secondary moment
whether or not this resolution included military
with naval armament, and whether it was made to
concern all the powers, or only the three great

it is not directory it is suggestive not mandatory

when and how he calls such conference, or has
one; if he shall act at once, soon at all 1t does
not presume to dictate to foreign affairs in the

as he may take to bring about disarmament.
1t does ono thing moro, in its evidence of the
quite unanimous wish that the President may find
a way to bring this about and that he may make
this a supreme effort. Senator Borah's success in
keeping his resolution before the senate and its
final unanimous adoption, shows that every senator
was satisfied that while he might be forgiven for
voting against it. he could have commentator only
by voting for it. 1t is demand too popular to be
ignored and in way expresses the minimum which
will be acceptable, while the league Of nations is in
hook. 1t is Mr.. Borahs confession and quota OF
penance.
What may be its form, how far it may go, is
regarded OF less consequence, than that in some
form this people permitted to express to the

Hays has just announced restora-

Hays will compute the refund due

the Senate had no objection to the proposed house

There is no intention of altering the purpose

Toll of the Highways.

N URING the 10 months the United States was
- in the great war, $4,000 of our soldiers were
killed in battle died of wounds. During that
same period, 1000 persons-25,ooo of them chill
dren-were killed on the streets and highways OF
the United States, with the 5000 miles away.
According to these figures, the everyday comings
and goings of people nearly twice as
fatal in the total of casualties, as is war
These figures were given at recent conference
on highway traffic at Yale university by William
Phelps Emo. Certainly life seems cheap in the
United States. Statistics figure the cash value
lost in the $4,000 children and the $1,000 adults,
but it cannot estimate the loss to homes and
friends. While busy saving lives from other causes,
it might be we'll to give at least passing con-
sideration to this one.

To the Editor. The wsshingtcp Herald:
say publish the Stacker list.
Those whose names enormously sp-
pear have nothing to fear from pub
licity. Their own conscience is
clear: their friends and all parties
interested kno~ the facts; nobody
who is innocent is worried, and no
harm can be done. So far the slack
ers have been successfully hidden
from public view, scandslous though
il is, and to further screen them is
a rank outrage 10 the feelings and
patriotism of those who answered
their country's call. To refuse pub
lication of the Stacker list smacks
too much of the pro-slscker propa-
gandists getting in their work. Pub

Interstate Crime" /"

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
1t was with much interest that l
read your editorial in The Herald
on "Interstate Crime" After men
tally digesting the same l desire TO
state that when in the course of
human events it becomes necessary"
to change the law of the land to
meet the exigencies of the day II
should be done. You state that the
bare fact that the crime was not
only against the state but against
the federal government would have
deterrent effect"
In this respect We may consider
the federal government as an elab-
GRATED community. 1t would be well
il the laws of the land were made
uniform.
1t seems to me that robbery in
one state is just as heihous as in
another. and the punishment should
be the same and meted out the same
to the criminal irrespective Of his
race, creed, color or religion. al;
persons born in the United States
and subject to the jurisdiction there
of are citizens of the United States"
II is the citizenry in the aggregate
that make up the body polite. Your
editorial stands for positive and
absolute Justice: in this connection
l should like to note that there is
a picture on the other side" l sub
nit this for what 1t is worth and
hope for enlightenment IL 1 am in
the wrong.
1t seems to me that the police in
quisitors often do irreparable wrongs
to innocent people by subjecting
them to arrest, the third degree"
and often punishment equal to those
recorded in '1vanhoe," in making a
suspected person confess.
