We are sometimes inclined to the view that civilization defeats its own ends by making it easier for weaklings to survive. Union county's share in the national endowment drive of the American Legion is only $1800 just one dollar from 1800 citizens (or $10 from 180 citizens) who want to see the orphan children of World War veterans given pleasant homes and a fair chance for happiness. When the solicitation starts Monday, Way 25th, every person in the county should have a part in making it a success. MAKING WAR "HUMANK." As America's representative at the international con ference for control of traffic in arms Representative Theo dore E. Burton, of Ohio, has condemned the use of poison gas for war purposes and urges the world powers to agree by treaty to ban the exportation and employment of poison ous gases for war. In peace time there is probably not one civilized nation i that does not condemn the release of poisonous gases' jagajiist human beings for their destruction, or nmiming, mentally or physically. It would be the simplest thingin the .world to get a treaty with a score of national "signa tures" affixed prohibiting gas warfare. Hut in time of war treaties are so many scraps of paper and thei-e is not yiie of the score of nations which might agree to tho gas treaty jin time of peace that would not violate its terms in time lof -war if facing defeat or gas tactics from the enemy. What Congressman lturton recommends for poison gas lias lcen urged for tho aeroplane. Itecause aircraft is de jntructivo of life and property in time of war the ultra pacifist would have it abolished even as a commercial con veyance. I 'Would the peace quacks have the public believe that 'war' can be abolished by the simple process of abolishing the instruments of warfare? I'cforc gunpowder, cannoi'., warships, rifles, airships and poison gas were invented wars waged almost incessantly over the populated areas o the earth. As the appliance and munitions of war in-1 jcreased in number and deadly effectiveness wars have de creased in duration and frequency. Might not science do much toward establishing perpetual world peace by making war still more terrifying and destructive than it proved to be in the last war?

The country needs foreign money to help keep ex change at pur and to lessen Un burden of reparation payments and KOl(, left behind bv foreign visitors helps to these ends. Hence rates at many hotels have been re duced, and published tariffs have been Issued which make it poMSihle for touring companies to resume jbusinesH in Germany on much the same basis that they worked before (the war. Visa rates on American pass ports also are lower, and the tax on foreigners hits been removed in practically all German cities. There have also been changes in police regulations which make it unnec essary for travelers to appear per sonally before policy officials to register.
