ACTRESS VICTIM
Of LIQUOR ORGY
At HOTEL HERE
Now Under Treatment in D. C..
Hospital, Declares Dry
Chief Haynes.
BY international News Service.

Bad liquor was at the bottom
of a near fatality among several
stage favorites, that almost re-
suited in another Fatty Arbuckle
case in Washington recently, Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes an
nounced today.
Mr.. Haynes gave no details OF the
wild party. Those who staged the
affair, after a gay evening at one
Of the leading hotels, bought bootleg
whiskey from a local purveyor, pro-
hibition inspectors reported to Haynes.
Some members of the party were
rendered unconscious and one Of the
party, an attractive member Of a
visiting theatrical troupe, was near
death. She was rushed to a hospital,
and since then has been under treat
ment.
Commissioner Haynes, referring to
the incident guardedly In a public
statement, gave no names, and did
not disclose whether the girls condi-
ton was due to poisoned whiskey, or
to an attack from one of the male
members, temporarily crazed by the
bootleg liquor which all drank very
freely.

1t would seem that the peculiar
circumstances of its meeting de-
mand that the Washington con-
ference should begin with a fore
gone futility, the discussion of the
limitation of ornaments and of
the restriction of warfare in GER
tain directions, while nations are
still to remain sovereign and free
to make war and while there ex-
lists no final and conclusive court
of decision for international dis
putes except warfare.
A number of people do really
seem to believe that we can go
on with all the various states of
the earth still as sovereign and
independent of each other as wild
beasts in a jungle, with no COM
mon rule and no common law, and
yet that we can contrive it that
they will agree to make war only
in a mild and mitigated fashion,
after due notice and according to
an approved set of regulations.
Ridicules Idea OF
Making War a Game.
Such ideas are quite seriously
entertained and they are futile
and dangerous ideas. A commit
tee Of the London League of Ma
tions Union, for example, has been
debating whether the use of poison
gas and the sinking of neutral ships
to enforce a blockade should be
permitted and whether "all modern
developments" in warfare should
not be abolished. "The feasibility
of preventing secret preparations
and the advantages of surprise
were also considered" 1t is as if
warfare was a game.
It is a little difficult to reason re-
spectfully against that sort of
project. One Is moved rather to add
helpful suggestions in the same vein.
As, for example, that no hostilities
shall be allowed to begin or continue
except in the presence of a League
of Nations referee. who shall be
marked plainly on the chest and
pants with the red cross of Geneva
and who--for the convenience of air.
craft--shall carry an open sunshade
similarly adorned. He shall be fur
nished with a powerful whistle or
hand trumpet audible above the noise
of modern artillery, and military
operations shall be at once arrested
when this whistle is blown. Contra
vention of the rules laid down by
the League of Nations shall be
penalized according to the gravity
of the offense, with penalties rang
ing from, let us say, an hours free
bombardment Of the offenders posi-
tiOn to the entire forces of the enemy
being addressed very severely by the
referee and ordered off the field.
War not a Game, But
Grimmest of Realities.
In the event Of either combatant
winning the war outright by illegiti-
mate means, it might further be pro-
vided that such combatant should
submit TO a humiliating peace, just
as II the war had been lost.
Unhappily war is not a game, but
the grimmest Of realities, and no
power on earth exists 70 prevent a
nation which is fighting for existence
against another nation from resort
ing to any expedient, however un-

Weedon, Retired Sleuth.

Charges Of malfeasance in office
have been preferred against Inspec-
tor Clifford L. Grant. chief Of de-
tectives, and Lieut.. c. L. Plemmons,
night chief of detectives. The
charges, which were sworn to, have
been filed with Major Harry l..
Gessford, superintendent of police.
Former Detective Sergeant Ned
Weldon preferred them.
Complaint Filed Monday.
Major Gessford said today that the
charges had been given to him by
Weldon Monday afternoon, but that
he had not had time TO look into them
and therefore would not give them
out.
Detective Weldon said that he
would not discuss the charges, as he
had given them to Major Gessford and
that IL the police department wanted
TO give them out they could do so or
they could smother the charges. He
said that his only reason for prefer
ring the charges was that he thought
the public should be protected. He
also said that in preferring the charges
he believed he had done his duty.
Must Face Trial Board.
Edward Hesse. chief clerk OF the
police department, said today that the
charges were on Major Gessford's
desk and had not reached him, but
that as soon as they did he would
summon the officials named before the
trial board. The trial board meets

Sad is the plight Of a nation
"a big as China unable to raise
and pay five and half millions.
We ordinarily talk of China's
population as 400, 100000. The
probability is, as learned
writer has recently pointed out,
that the population is nearer
500, 100000. For the census is
taken by taxpayers interested in
keeping down the numbers. For
grating reasons old men, wom-
en-, and children are omitted
from the figures entirely. Fully
a third, perhaps a half, the popu-
lation Of the earth lives in China
and is bankrupt.
Life Is not all gloom, in spite
of the war. For all we know

deserved what he got and those
