Striking mt q Menace

IN support of its proposal to eliminate
1 grade crossings on all roads of the Fed
eral aid highway system, the Bureau of
Public Roads presents the record of grade
crossing casualties for period of three
years. That record, showing 1886 dead and
1854 injured for the years 191S2O, hard
~ requires experimentation rs an argu
-'nent for the provisions in the new Federal
highway act for gradual elimination of
nationwide menace to human safety. With
the coming of the automobile the grade
crossing has become more and more fruit
full as a source OF danger The record of
deaths and injuries for 1921 is not yet avail
able but ii is hardly likely that any dlminu-
ton of the peril will be shown by these
figures. However energetically safety prop
aganda may be disseminated, however ar
resting the color, size or legends OF the
warming posts, the grade crossing will con
tinuc TO take its frightful toll year after
year until i, is abolished by law.
Adoption of n nationwide policy against
crossings OF this type by the Bureau of
Public Roads will not, OF course, eliminate
tho evil Only roads of the Federal high
way system would be affected by the pro-
posed enactment. Nevertheless certain roads
in every State would be reached; and the
result would be the immediate curtaimcnt
OF the grade crossings toll, and the fore
shadowing Of its doom by the effective spread
OF an intelligent example.
America whose scOrn of Europe traffic
regulations and facilities often finds individ-
nal expression. should perceive a useful les
son in the Old Worlds early and sweeping
abolition OF an evil that still persists here
at so great a cost in human lives.

Getting Away From Savagcry

WHATEVER merit there may be in she
w criticism of the four-powcr Pacific
pact, there can be nothing but commenda-
ton for the form of progress that is being
attained in the negotiation of the FIVE power
naval limitation treaty. Tho agreement OF
the five greatest naval powers of the world

rine warfare against merchant vessels. and
the invitation to all other nations to I'D
here to such agreement as 4 new principle

direction OF immunity for neutral and non
combatant ships which traverse the seas dur
ing war time from the terrors to which they
were subjected during the recent war
The adoption of the three Root rules for
bidding the use of submarine craft against
merchant craft. except in conformity with
the established rule of search and seizure
and the safety Of passengers and crew as it
prevailed before submarine activity became
part of war effort on the seas, robs these
assassins of the deep of most of their ter
rors. except as to their power 10 innict in
jury upon vessels employed in legitimate
warfare. There but remains the adoption
OF the piracy rule for punishment Of viola
lions OF the provisions Of the agreement to
complete tho work Of limiting the activities
OF these sea monsters and making the treaty
in respect to them altogether good. That
TINS rule Will be adopted is practically GER
tain
1t is conceivable that IL these limitations
had been accepted in the war of 1914-191S,
the United States might not have been drawn
into the conflict and Germany would have
been defeated eighteen months sooner than
i. was without Americas effort. Being Il
new weapon with no accepted rules OF in
ternational practice applicable. the German
navy made its own ruthless rules and pro-
ceeded To carry them out with deadly eff
feet upon all neutral and noncombatant
shipping, strewng the bottom of the seas
with millions of merchant tonnage and thou
sands of human lives who had no part in
the conflict. When this treaty shall have
been finally approved, ii will mark an adj
vance from the savage methods of warfare
that prevailed in the late struggle that is
epochal for civilization and will crown the
work Of the conference with outstanding
achievement.

Love.


From pole to pole, across the seas
Beyond the mountain peaks.
Since time began there Is one thing
That every creature seeks:
One thing thGt stands for everything,
That compasses life's whole
One thing that has It's birthplace in
The chamber OF the soul.
Wherever man has set his foot
Or Savage stalked his game,
Bound by no mean geography
It's everywhere the same.
And you may plough the farthest seas
Or pierce the upper air.
IL there nre TWO of anything
You're sure to find it There.
It is the tic that binds, the thing
That is The Law! 1t stands
Mid Arctic foes as certainly
AS on Fioridian sands.
And while the Earth rcvolvcs this thing
Shall be. TIL suns cold.
Wherever maids give challenge, and
Wherever men are bold!

said, consisted OF .'trlfting transac-
tons In arbitraEc and exchange with

deal with Holland during the war. as
most British banking houses. Inc'ud-
ing ours, were dealing with the fun

The second chief allegation. he
pointed out. that Of communicating
with the enemy. consisted solely OF
communicating with my sisters and
their families In entirely innocent
way"
Third principal count. he said. was
really that OF "evading the censor
with the full knowledge OF the CEN
sor and insisting upon the right to
do so In matters al of which were
legitimate and innocent"
THE whole thing is neither more
nor less than the Sulmination of
years OF political persecution. a
pcrusal OF the report convinces me
that II is the work OF men. who,
however. learned in the law they
may be. are entirely out OF touch
