But this writer apparently bases his indignation on
the use of the word “ Slavonian,” instead of “ Slavonic”
rather than on any inaccuracy of title. He spysi
“ The word* Slavonian means nothing. ‘ I t is true
that such a word has been created in tho pioneering days
of *49, when .a group of Jugo-Slav sailors deserted *fKeir
sailing ship in the port of San Francisco. The wdfd Vas
never inserted in any of the Serbo-Qroat or English dic­
tionaries. Literature does not know of any Such raco
or ¿nation as “ Slavonians.”

' The wrjter, rn his hurry to object t<i a wop) tliat lie
does not like, goes rather too far. Both the d e b a te r ’s
and the Standard dictionaries use the word “ Slavonian.”
So does the Century dictionary. True, the word is soine-
wliat loosely used. But so is Slavonic... And neither one
can exactly cover the members Of those south European
ra<*ial groups that support this society, or who are locally
referred’ to as “ Slavonians.” A more nearly accurate
term would, jierliaps, be Jugo-Slavians, hut the word has
not yet |x»en coined, ttxpur knowledge. It is hereby offer
ed, tree, to those who care to •use it.
In fact, the southern SlavB, in Europe, in their vague'
endeavor to form a national group under one adminis­
tration, are finding more differences than those merely
of governmental policy. T^ere are difficulties of religious,
consciousness, cultural variations, and even the m atter.of
name is no trifliti# unp&nmfent to national fraternity.

A eertain human sort of “ lienor” is appealed to by
Colonel Green of San Francisco, prohibition enforcement
officer for California, in declaring for Armistice Day,
He called off his detectives, to give them a well earned
holjday, and usked bootleggers to observe the day equally,
presumably on their by no means triftyng profits.
Much the same sort of honor develops among soldiers
on.the firing line, who may exchange cigarettes or “ eat­
ing tobacco’’ at eerain hours of the day and proceed to
slay each other ut others. In the mediaeval world, when
smuggling was«hardly a sin, and if a sin, by no means
petty, there were all sorts of extra-legal hut very man-
to-man relationships established between the royal offic­
ers and the coast runners. And that oarly monarch who
proclaimed a “ Truce of God” for certain days' of the
week relied upon {»opular acceptance of warfare as a busi­
ness that could he .taken up b e laid aside aocordiug to the
conveniences of the time.
• ’*
This sort of easy going adjustment of controversy,
however, is inconsistent with the very nature of con­
troversy, and can’not last long. Banditry or smuggling,
intermittent warfare of any sort is loo destructive of the
purposes of law, to continue. W ar lias come near to he-
ing outlawed ttoMrii -h the world by making it so deadly
