MAKING WAR CUIMINAL
BY BERT G. BATES
The Chicago Daily News has been conducting a contest for
peace suggestions. Dr. Thwing, president emeritus of Western
Reserve university, the first prize winner, made as one of his sug
gestions that international law pronounce aggressive war to be
criminal, and award punishment, economic, commercial, and dip
lomatic, to those who start it. It would very likely be a good
thing to have it declared that aggressive war is a crime. Still it is
a difficult thing to define what constitutes an aggressive war.
The German pOople were told that they were so menaced by the
ev'il purposes of the nations that surrounded them that it became
necessary for them to strike before the other nations should strike
them. So they would claim that while technically they struck the
first blow, yet they were practically forced into it. This claim
would never be allowed in this country, but this shows how diffi
cult it is for the nations to pass judgment on each other's acts.
The fundamental cause of wars is perhaps that people look in
such a one sided way at their international relations. The French
read the French side of their controversies, and they believe that
one side only. The Germans look at the German side of their
controversies, and believe only that. If only all peoples could
form the habit of patiently and conscientiously reading all sides
of international quarrels, they would make more allowances, and
hot passions would not be so likely to start. The time will prob
ably come when the nations of the world will treat any country
that starts a war as an outlaw. .The idea of an economic boycott
of war making nations, if properly guarded, seems fundamental
ly correct.

Figures recently published regarding a group of university
of Michigan graduates, suggest that the men who gained most
prominence in social and campus activities are earning a good
deal more money today than those who went in for scholarship.
That does not necessarily mean that the good sciiolars are in

that are not very profitable financially. Financial success is a

The people who object to navino- l.iv. mi.rtii
The old fashioned home in cities and towns commonly had a
fence or hedge separating the grounds from the street and neigh
bors. It gave an air of seclusion. Some years ago there was a
tendency to pull down hedges and fences, and throw private
grounds open, thus creating a pleasant park effect. In many
neighborhoods, children abused this opportunity, and considered
the absence of a fence as an invitation for them to come in and
play, making it difficult to raise grass and shrubs. A good many j
householders as a result have planted lu'din s again, and some!
have restored feiu-es. This may take away something of the I
pleasant open effect, but it gives notice that home grounds are1
not a public, playground. And a well kept hedge may be very j
biautiful.
A Horse on the Colonel.
(ISy Wickr-3 Wamboltlt.)
The problems that met the soutb
ppople after tho war between tti
mates were stupendous. The men
m railed back after Leo's surrender
to find homes destroyed, fences
down, outbuildings Kone. plantations
Kiown to weeds and bushes, and no
vefitlne of stock or implements. And
with It all the entire social order was
changed.
Small wonder that many souther
ners immediately betook themselves
to California. South America, and
other distant points. The Job of re
construction looked overwhelmltiKly
impossible.
Hut t!;ro were those who stayed
to see it nut and help U through.
Such a one was a former Confederate
colonel. He returned to the scene
of desolation and social chaos with
nothing to show for four years or
military service but a ragged uni
form and o spavined horse.
Jieaching his plantation, he found
nothing left but the ground and an
obscure shed In which was the fam
ily carryall and a mouldy harness.
Casting his eye over the field of op
portunity, the Colonel decided that
the sum totul of his possessions
pointed the way to the livery busi
ness. So he gingered up the horse,
painted up the carryall, rubbed up
the harness and uenan business.
His first nibble was a uesro who
had been a slave on an adjoining
plantation. The colored man want
ed to engage the Colonel to drive
him and his "lady fr n' " to a dunce
the following evening.
The Colonel's first Impulse was
to commit homicide. Hut then came
sudden and vivid realization that he
was facing a great crisis in his life,
licfore this momentous occasion he
could only bow with quiet dignity
and agree to do the job for fifty
cents.
The night of the dance was a bit
ter cold one. The place of the dance
was a negro settlement three miles
away. The ball room was lighted
with smoky, smelly kerosene lamps.
Tho air was superheated by a huge
stove. The windows were shut tight
and there was a large aggregation
of colored folks.
The Colonel alternated between
standing Inside until he suffocated
and standing outside until he froze.
It was while he was doing the for
mer that he was approached by his
fare, who said grandiloquently.
" 'Scuse me, Kunnel, but do ladies
ohjec's to de smell oh de hawse
stable on yo' clo'es."
And so the Colonel drove home
alone. And forfeited the fifty cents.
And reflected that there are some
things a man mlt-'lit as well not do,
even to get on in the world.
