court. They were well aware that
death awaited the accused. A word
from them would have been enough
to save the victims from the hands of
the hangmen, but the word was not
spoken, they were responsible for the
raid and they must bear the full re-
sponsibility for the consequences of
the raid.
Human life can be destroyed in
many ways. The Mississippi has
broken its banks and swallowed up
everything in its way. That is a
natural catastrophe, like an earth
quake, lightning or tornado. The
bloody history of the world is full Of
most frightful cruelties, burnings at
the stake, burying alive, scalping,
castration, rape, and hundred other
cruelties have been thought out by
the bestial sapiens and practised in
cold blood or with fanatical sadism.
Greatest Crime in Years.
Thousands of cruelties which are
being practiced in this very moment,
never penetrate outside through the
prison walls, cries of pain and
shrieks for mercy are only heard in
the cells of the tortures. But the
most horrible murders, more horrible
than the skinning alive practiced by
Marsya, more horrible than the mill
ions of crimes committed in anger,
which stain humanity, more horrible
than the raging crimes of Pizarro in
Peru or of Cortes in Mexico, more
horrible than all the fanatical thumb
screws and wheels of the Middle Ages
is the cold-blooded murder permitted
by people in safety, the planned muir
der, the murder which the representa-
tives of the so-called cultured coun-
tries did not prevent, although one
word, one single objection would have
been sufficient to have made it i'm
possible. The destruction of 20 lives
in Pekin, the strangling of 20 living
breathing, thinking and sentient
bodies, that was a horrible crime
committed from writing desk, the
famous diplomatic writing desk. That
was most horrible crime of recent
years.
Things have gone so far in Pekin
that Chinese begging for protection
are not merely refused it, but Euro
peans are even prohibited from offer
ing Chinese asylum in European
houses. The correspondent of the
"Berliner Tageblatt" reports that the
Germany Embassy has also warned
all its nationals against fulfilling
this elementary human duty. Is it
true that human beings begging for
their lives are officially driven to
certain death?
Supported By Diplomats.
] have feverishly recalled all have
read and heard of such cruelty. II
know no worse example of cold
blooded brutality than the use of this
go-between, for Chang Tso-lin is
nothing but a go-between, an instru-
ment of the Pekin Diplomats. His
power would collapse tomorrow if
the powers would declare an effective
neutrality. We will not approach the
governments whose Iacxeys have
carried pat this horrible crime. We
will not approach the League Of Ma
tons which is only the instrument of
these governments. But we know
there are millions and millions of hui
man beings in the world who feel just
as we do, who are filled with horror
and anger at this crime. These mill
ions must cry the shame of Pekin
throughout the world, they must
knock at the doors of their diplomatic
representatives until they are heard.

PO|NCARE ASSA|LS
CA|LLAUX POLICY
French Premier Aggressive
on Eve of Reconvening
of Parliament.
BY GERVILLE REACHE.


PARIS, May PARLIAMENT recon
venes the coming week, and in prep
aration for that event, Premier Poin'
care has just delivered big speech
| gressive on the part of man who has
a firm grip on power. Calm serenity
| would have been more appropriate
tone for one who had a consciousness
Of duty well DONE
The premier manhandled severely
though without mentioning names.
Joseph CaillauX and the financial ex-
pertS who last Summer recommended
foreign credits for stabiliZjng the
franc. He alluded to Foreign Minister
Brands 20 years of parliament life,
comparing it with his own 40 years o.
unchanged opinions. He spoke of
Germany in terms which will not
facilitate the task of his foreign min
lister nor that of the Geneva delegates.
Finally, although admitting COM
munism was not dangerous in France,
he said some harsh things about gov
ernment employees forgetting that
some day their unions viii have to be
called upon to aid in an administrative
reorganization.
B0urse Reacts FavorabIy.
However. neither France nor ma
tions abroad took the speech too
seriously, realizing that our Lorrainer
Is a brusque, stubborn man, indeed,
the Paris Bourse reacted favorably,
rejecting the belief that parliament
will not dare to overthrow NJ. Poincare
while he enjoys the countrys conf.
dence.
Andre Tardieu, moreover, has rem
dered the premier a signal service in
obtaining a reduction in miners
wages without a strike, bringing
lower coal prices and consequently
lower industrial production costs,
which will help meet the crisis
threatened by the rising franc.
Many persons criticize M. Tardieu
for not obtaining greater reductions
even at the cost of a gigantic strike.
Probably further reductions will be
needed to readjust French industry
to revalorized money. Yet such re-
ductions are difficult, as prices will
remain high, owing to the newly
increased tariff.
Crops, however, promise well, and
after all, France adapts herself to
difficult circumstances better than
most countries, so NJ. Tardieu prob
ably was well inspired in choosing a
middle course.
Flow of Capital Aids.
The enormous flow of capital toward
France also facilitates financial and
economic Improvement by reducing
discount rates. while foreign relations
grow constantly more peaceful.
Germany's request to the Quai
d'Orsay to reduce the Rhineland oc-
cupation force is, OF course, difficult
to grant Immediately. On the other
hand, the Italo-Serb conflict seems to
be quieting down, due largely to an
interview with former Premier Nitti
of Italy, published by Belgrade
paper, in which he advised Italians
not to spend billions of lire to catch
Albanian malaria. Dictator Mussolinl
seems inclined to drop the matter and
wisely advises his compatriots to go
back to the land.
Sour speeches, diplomatic notes and
disagreeable wrangles do not appear
able to keep Europe from pursuing
the salutary work of rebuilding it's
ruins and perfecting peace.

Women are subject to the best in

every sort.
The Summer is to be a time for rest,
reflection and preparation for women,
the seers prophesy, for they are to
render important public service be-
fore the end of the year.
Tomorrow should be a lucky we'd

new friends.
Quarrels between women easily may
be precipitated under this rule and for
this reason it is well to practice di-
plomacy.
This is fortunate sway for
theaters and places of amusement

Plays of higher standard are to

Astrologers prophesy a new beauty

Children born tomorrow have the
augury of success through science.
