Asks Death Penalty
For Makers Of War

To the Editor OF The Star:
Yesterday you published copy of
the new treaty to enc war between GER
tain nations A treaty becomes part OF
the written law. I notice this law has
no teeth II Is said that law without
a penaltv is worthless. would not
say worthless" for some will try to
obey out of fairness. / would call 1t
move In the right direction.
Kidding the world OF War Is the
greatest problem Of all time. How shall
we say never more shall there be the
stencil of blood soaked corpse
fields: the bodily pain and mental SUI
ferlng of untold myriads of human souls
from the scorpion sting OF bullet, the
shock and smash Of bursting shell: faces
blasted to pieces by shrapnel; bodies
torn by artillery fire: lungs and eyes
burned out by poison gas the rampant
pollution of young men and maidens:
the Wanton destruction OF homes and
fields of helpless ones: the soul agony
and despair of bereaved mothers and
sweethearts: the blasting of lives OF the
wrecks who return and the soaring OF
souls of those who curse their Maker In
their agony?
The point continually lost sight Of is
that wars are not started by nations
but by individuals. "Or what king Is
there who. going to make war upon
another king, doth not first sit down
and consider. The best
that thinking men have been able to
do toward the abolition of crime is to
put a penalty on IL which tends to
check the mental tendency toward 1t
by another against It. and In some
cases rids the world of criminally
minded men AS a practical matter-to
get results---this same simple method Is
the only one that can be effective, even
partially, toward preventing war. Sim
ply add penalty clause to the treaty
somewhat on this fashion:
ANY person. be he king. prince, en-
peror, ruler, president, potentate. citi-
zen or subject, OF any nation whatSo-
ever, who does an act of war. or who
advocates, aids or abets therein, except
in defense OF home. country or kindred
or the enforcement OF the laws OF the
land shall be guilty of crime against
humanity and upon conviction thereof
| In a court of any land wherein he may
be found. or In an international court,
shall be punished by death: and the
old theory, the king can do no wrong.
| is hereby abrogated TO the extent that
no royal or executive immunity there
( for shall exist, domestic defense and
/ police duty being the only excuses and
/ an act of war shall be defined as an
armed attack by two or more persons
resulting in the killing or wounding OF
persons or the destruction OF property
or the capture of persons or property"
| This would cover riots and insurrec-
| tions. as we'll as wars of aggression, but
| would exempt home defense and law
enforcement. 1T must needs be that

Aqueduct Bridge Removal.

Secretary Davis has recommended 10
Congress the early removal Of Aqueduct
Bridge on the score that the piers of the
old structure are in bad condition and
tend 10 block openings In the new Key
Bridge. and that the Virginia abutment
Of Aqueduct Bridge has caused sitting
and creates dangerous condition dur
ing high water. The Secretary of War
points out In his recommendation that
Key Bridge accommodates all OF the
trafhc that formerly used Aqueduct
Bridge and that no apparent necessity
remains for the old structure, while on
the contrary much benent would ac-
crue by its removal
Various propositions have been sug-
gested 10 make Use Of Aqueduct Bridge
since the erection OF the Key Bridge
Al one time IL was thought that IL could
he used by railroad or traction COM
psnies and there was once a project on
foot 10 create an amusement pier on
the Georgetown End OF II. With these
plans ali falling through there appears
70 be no reason for any part Of the
structure 10 remain. and IL should be
removed at the earliest possible date.
While there ia comparatively little

Kindness To Animals

As just one example. at this time OF

mothers. homeless, unwanted and hun

more unwanted little ones, but the
mother love and devotion bestowed upon
them Is OF the very highest type. They
are cursed and cast out by man simply
because II seems undesirable to us that
certain kinds of animals should obey
the universal instinct for motherhood
implanted and blessed by the Creator.

of cursing cat or dog mother feed her.

A further important suggestion Is
