Horrors of Peace.
(New York Times)


 A kind of pacific mania seems to be descending upon the whole earth Prophecies of the inevitable giving way to predictions of peaceful sette ment Wherever an international controversy SnoWS itself with tacit threat of hostilties-except for the continuous performance going on in the Chaco- the universal expectation is that diplomacy VIII pc Isufficient to cope with it. Just we learn that China and Japan have agreed upon the price to be paid by the latter for the Eastern Railway. little while ago that to have been sure origin of war It is but of many incidents showing the fatal drift into spirit of al-embracng peace. Italy and France, which to have been leapng at each others throats, have signed treaty covering all the differences between them. The French Foreign Min ister his firm purpose to establish lasting peace with Berlin Not to remain outside this new world atmosphere the United States Government has just expressed regret to Canada for having vio lated international law in the chase and sinking of a Canadian ship Apologies instead of ultima tumS! Can such things be?
 The worst of it is that rulers today proceed as if such peaceful attitude and peaceful settle ments were the natural order of good government They appear to regard preservation of good rela- tions with other countries, the maintenance of foreign commerce, the exchange of ideas and in- ventions as well as goods as if they were really more important than flag-waving and bristling ex- elements. The Continental taunt used to be that England has become a nation only of shopkeepers All countries not only merit the epithet but delight in it. They want to find customers for theii products and willing to concede points of honor if they arrange to set bills of exchange flowing in their favor. There is less hauty talk of natona independence and indefeasibe sovereignty than there is of srpuses to sell and of fine opportunities in commerce across the seas Munitions of are left more and more to take of themselves il foreign trade, and the screaming of the eagle has largely given way to the loud appeals of commercial agents with great bargains to propose.
 Worse still, people everywhere seem like these new international procedures both in spirit anc in result. They perfer good business, however tame to bad war however acclaimed. They hope to be able to make plans for the future the basis oi a settled and peace When diplomats report successful negotiation, they applauded much as if they returned with carload of captured battle flags The question for worried patriots is how long this can be kept up without impairing the natona virlity and pride. If are not going to be ready to shoot at the drop of hat, who will guarantee our national safety? It would that peace alsc hath her horrors and that the world is now bent on supping full on them Yet the closest and most impartial observers report that it is doing well or this unaccustomed detl

PULP POSSIBILITIES.

Congressional action for protection of the pulp fndutsry through tariff shipments from foreign countries is asked in memorial introduced before the Territorial Legislature by Representative Barono- vich of Ketchikan with the support of the Ketchi- kan Chamber of Commerce.
 As pointed out in the memorial the pulp industry can and eventually will be developed to become one of Alaskas major industries taking its place with fishing, mining and the other outstanding industries of the Territory which have, despite many obstacles risen to place of prominence, employing thousands of men and furnishing the bulk of the revenue for handling Territorial affairs.
 Congress can do well to take cogniance of the future of the northland and legislate for its pro- lection with the aim of building for the future. Alaska pulp cannot hope to compete in the markets of the world under the great handicap Canada and other countries now hold over it, but given an equal oportunity it hold it's position with any of them. As MT. Baronovich pointed out in his re- quest there are untold millions of feet of spruce, hemlock and other timber suitable for making pulp in the Territory much of which is simply going to waste There is no limit to the potential water power throughout the pulp wood area and water transportation is readily available.
 The United States Forest Service has estimated that the woodlands of Southeast Alaska, alone, can produce enough wood pulp to make 100000 tons of newsprint year in perpetuty, equivalent to between fourth and one-third of the present yearly sumption in the United States.
 Speeding the pulp memorial its way to Wash ington would seem to be significant step toward the advancement of the Territory, and the Legislature might well take with alacrity. Promotion

A JUST FATE.

Rounding up of the Urschel Kidnapping gang prob ably was the first real blow dealt at the vicious child abduction racket in this country but the actual knockout punch delivered yesterday by that jury of four women and eight in the little courthouse at Pennington, N. J.. when they found Bruno Hauptmann, Lndbergh baby killer, guilty as charged and recommended the death penalty.
 Fathers and mothers throughout the land are right now giving vote of thanks to that jury and resting considerably easier in the knowledge that the horrible practice of Kidnapping will not be countenanced in this land of law-abiding men and women.
 And it should not be overlooked the fine job the Department of Justice agents have turned in this and similar cases. Never for moment did officers let up from the time in March of 1892 when the fair-haired son of Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh was snatched from his crib and brutally slain until Bruno Hauptmann, arch criminal, brought to justice for perpetrating of the most atrocious crimes on record. America is grateful for this highly trained and efficient body of men, the guard ians of human rights and justice.
 Hauptmann will go to his death in the electric chair, a guilty man who had every opportunity to present his defense Some of the best legal minds in the land rallied to his legal staff He was given fair and impartial trial The State of New Jersey and Federal Government spent huge sums that the sacred right of honest trial be given him. Now the penalty is his to pay.
 There is little or no sympathy for the Brorly fiend but there is tinge of regret in this as in similar cases that the innocent must suffer with the guilty The faithful wife infant and heart broken mother in Germany must bear the stain. Such is existence in this life the helpless too often must carry the yok.

and development of solid industries with the hope of taking up the employment slack is one of the major objectives of the Administration and Alaska pulp can fit right into that picture. Given the official backing of the Territory there is every reason to believe the matter can at least get proper hearing and some consideration at this ses- sion of Congress.

(New York world-Telegram.)


 The prison break in California is more than an act of desperate criminals. It is warning. For years San Quentin Penitentiary has been scandalously overcrowded Built to hold $500 men, houses nearly 600O Recently prison investigator returned to Washington after visiting San Quentin He predicted early trouble there as a result of overcrowding and idleness.
 Not long ago Alexander Paterson, Commissioner of Prisons for England and Wales visited and stud jed American prisons. He was shocked at the lack of room and work in many of them. He ventured the suggestion that shorten senselessly long probation fit prison population to prison capacity or vice versa, provide daily programs of State-use work and other activity.
 The Wckersham Commission discovered alarm ing conditions of. overcrowding and idleness The recent Ullman Committee report to MIRA suggested nationwide program for industriazation of prisons for employment of prisoners State-use work Why should it require such cruel lessons to- teach the States that idle men huddled into close quarters will plot riots and jail deliveries2

SENATE VOTE NEAR
ON DISTRICT BILL
Passage and Conference
With House Expected
Early This Week.

The Senate is expected to pass the
1885 District appropriation bill early
this week and send it to conference
with the House for final settlement
OF the amendments by which $3,452,-
215 was added to the measure.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Ok
lahoma in charge of the local supply
bill, said it may be possible to have
it considered tomorrow. This will de-
pend, however, on developments in
the consideration Of the Copeland
food-and-drug control bill. When the
Senate convenes tomorrow 1t is sched-
uled to resume debate on the food
and-drug measure.
When the District bill goes to con-
ference, one Of the main issues will
be the determination of the Federal
share of the expenses of the National
Capital for the coming year. The
House voted to keep the Federal pay
ment at the figure for the present
year, $5,700,000. The Senate Appro-
priations Committee, after approving
many urgently NEEDED maintenance
items and improvements not in the
House bill, voted to recommend that
the Federal share be placed at S8.317,-
500. This figure, which is the aver
age of the various lump-sum pay
ments Of the past 10 years, was sug-
gested by the Commissioners as rep
resenting q fair apportionment Of the
cost for the coming year. 4

ANAC0ST|A BUS
LINE CONSIDERED
Plan to Eliminate Street
Car Service Given Sc
rious Study.

Serious consideration Is being given
by the Public Utilities Commission to
a proposal for substitution of bus
service for the Anacostia- Congress
Heights street car line, all the way
from the far southeast terminus to
the downtown section, officials said
yesterday.
This may be the next major prob
lem to be settled by the regulatory
body and would leave but few major
questions as to track layout to be
decided. In the near future, also, de-
cisions are expected on new street car
routes made possible by the score or
more Of changes already ordered in
tracks.
Only in some cases have the route
changes been indicated clearly by the
orders for removal, construction or
changes In the street car tracks.
While the commission is seeking to
leave the major riding habits" of the
public as much unchanged as possible,
the routing orders will affect thou
sands of car riders.
Sees Merit in Buses.
Richmond B. Keech, commission
vice chairman, agreed there is much
merit in the suggestion Of substituting
busses for the Anacostia street car
line, but said there has been no deci-
sion to date There is some division
of opinion on the plan among men,
bers of citizens associations of the
Southeast.
The plan would be to abandon the
entire length Of the street car tracks
from the terminus at Upsal street and
Nichols avenue southeast to the point
where they connect with other tracks
near the Capitol. The cars now pass
First and East Capitol streets en- route
to northern points. The buses, If
substituted, would follow the same
general route past the Navy Yard and
along G, Fourth and z streets to a
point south of the Capitol. then pro-
ceed to the business and Government
building area.
This would mean abandonment of
some five miles Of street car track.
Eighth Street Terminal Urged.
The commission also has received
q suggestion for ending the Navy
Yard and Seventeenth and Pennsyl-
vania avenue southeast car lines at
Eighth and Pennsylvania avenue
southeast. These are not Affected by
the decision on the Anacostia line.
The plan would be to substitute buses
and have street car terminal at the
Eighth street intersection. One strong
objection to this Is that residents
along the avenue east of Eighth street
would have to take Q bus to that
intersection and transfer there to
street cars. Some commission Of
flcials are skeptical about this sug-
gestion.
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
yesterday filed with the commission
new petition for through bus line
from the Howard University area to
Fourth street southwest. He urged
either that this be ordered forthwith
or that public hearing be held for

TRACK CROSSING
PLANS DRAWN
Bridge and Underpass in
Northeast Section Sought
by Hazen.

Two new traffic thoroughfares
across the railroad tracks along New
York avenue northeast, to afford i'm
proved communication with the
Brookland area, will be sought by the
District under plans being formulated
by Commissioner Hazen.
He has directed Edward A. Dent,
surveyor, and Capt. H. c. White
hurst, director of highways. to pre-
pare legislation for construction of a
bridge and an underpass at two points
between Union Station and Bladens-
burg road.
Projects Studied.
This is a elimination Of studies
already made by members of the staff
of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and members
of the Co-ordinating Committee con-
siSting of District and Federal officials
interested in traffic and highway
planning, headed by E. A. Schmidt of
the United States engineers office.
The legislation will be forwarded to
Congress after approval by the Dis
trict Commissioners. It is to be in
the form of an amendment to the
Union Station" act of 1908.
Sites Proposed.
One of the crossings would be from
Brentwood road and T street north
east southeasterly over the tracks to
connect with New York avenue at an
extension of Mount Olivet road north
east. This would be a bridge.
The other would be from the inter-
section Of Fourteenth street and
Rhode Island avenue northeast to the
intersection of New York and West
Virginia avenues northeast. An un-
derpass would be developed along
this line.
