There was a great superfluity ol squealing sopranos, rending the air Wednesday night. Just when the na tlon was thirsting for news of the verdict and detailr in the Haupt mann trial. Wherever one turned on the radio, there was a diva render ing an aria, and yelling like she. too. had been found guilty of some thing. A few mslea were also bellow- In a song, and a few strav wcrds about the glories of pills, but tt ws the sopranoee who hit their highest notes, and kept It up.

IT IS announced from Klemington tliat the state will now bring charges of perjury against some of Bruno Haupt mann's witnesses. Vte hope the report is true. And we also hope if evidenie shows the defense attorneys conspired in this commission of perjury, they be promptly disbarred. Outside of swift and certain punishment for the guilty, nothing woulij do more to check the crime wave in this country, than serving notice on the underworld that falsifying on the witness stand is no longer a safe racket but a highly dangerous one. Put a few perjurers in prison where they belong, and it will not be so easy for crooked criminal lawyers, to buy witnesses in the open market place, to swear to anything that will bolster up their client's case. A few perjury trials, vigorously prosecuted, and the oath will begin to mean something, instead of nothing, in our American jurisprudence. The state of New Jersey way its law enforcement officials handled the Hauptmann 'case. Now if the latter will refuse to rest on their laurels until the perjurers in this case, are put behind the bars, they will earn the everlasting gratitude of .every right-thinking and law abiding person in the land. The Lost T 0 HUM! If any proof were needed to show the low estate to which the League of Nations has fallen, this Italian Ethiopian incident would supply it. The League was designed to prevent war. It was particularly designed to prevent wars of aggression, and to protect weak nations from the strong. Tet without the slightest word of protest from the League, Dictator Mussolini, dispatches troops and ' warships to the north African coast, and proudly authorizes an expenditure, of millions, to bring this dusky little kingdom to its knees. The time-honored camouflage is employed, of course. Ethiopia is branded the aggressor, attacks on the border and the slaying of loyal Italian troops, arc given as the caucus belli, and deaf cars are turned to Emperor Haile Selassies' claim, that all aggression eomes from the other side.s ' a . IT WAS ever thus! Mussolini wants more territory, more mar kets more nnnnnn fnrlilnt in avnnt unn.lt.... V.i ..nr.A.1 n war. For years he has had his eye on northern Africa, but until very recently France barred the way. A few weeks ago however, in return for Italy's promise of cooperation in caso of trouble with Germany or Austria, France decided to give 11 Duce a free hand. In reality, the two nations are dividing up what is left of northern Africa, while the rest of the world unprotcstingly looks on. "No more war, the sacred right, of self determination, protecting the weaker nations from the strong!" .... 1MTHANWHILI3 Japan, grabs what she wants in 'China and " Italy gets, her slice while the getting is good at the expense of Ethiopia. The old, old ARMY game! What is the answer, that the League of Nations idea is all wrong! No, the Lcaguo is essentially right, and sooner or later undoubtedly later the principle But the fact remains, what not yet advanced morally to the point where such a League can either prevent war or he an effective instrument for peace. The League principle, was was advaneod, WASN'T. Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JKNKINS AS THESE worda are written, tills Is the bit- headline on the front page: "State Aska Hauptmann Life." By the time they are read, the big headline may tell what the Jury that Is trying Bruno Rlrhard Hauptmann for his life on the charge of kidnap ing the Lindbergh baby haa decided Meanwhile, nobody knows perhaps not even the membera of the Jury. THE Lindbergh case haa coat Colo nel Lindbergh, the government and the varloua agenclea engaged In tracking down the perpetrator of the crime approxlmtaeiy attfO.OOO. Including the ejo.OOo ranaom he paid, ot which he will rec-rlva back about 1111.000 found In Hauptmanu'a garage. Colonel Lindbergh haa apenl 7.000. His friend. Colonel Breckin ridge, spent snother aio.ooo. The cost of the handwriting ex perta haa been about 150,000. The wood eiperta cost another 10.000. Telegrams, cablegrams and telephone measagea ran up to about 130.000 Trips to Surer by otflr.rs cost s?.. 000. THE biggest single Item ot expend!, ture wee accounted for by the 38 workera kept on the ra.e for two yeara and a half by the federal gov ernment, the state of New York and the rtly of New York. This smount ed to about 3B4.0O0. The trial itself haa cost about 100.000. . a JUSTICE. In theae modern daya. cornea high, doean't Itf But If wa can definitely get over to the criminal claasea, and the would-be criminal claasfs. the CON VICTION lint when crime Is com mitted the government mesntng by that ALL govrrtuueut, usuoiili. aula has reason to be proud of the League it embodies must prevail. we call the civilized world lias anil is right but the TIME it and city will spare no expense, and will never forget, until the criminal la run down and punished, the cost will not be too hlgn. The cost that la too high la Hint which followa when the lmprelon gets abroad that government won't, or CANT, do very much about It when a crime la committed. ANOTHER Interesting headline: "African Nation Defiea Demands from Italy." The African nation referred to la Ethiopia, and the demand la for an Indemnity for the killing of Italian troops In varloua ruckuses along the boundary between Ethiopia and Italy's Italian colonlea. The Ethloplana assert that the pay ment of an indemnity ta repupgnant to tliem, and besides the number ot Ethloplana killed by Itallana has been fully aa great as the number of Itallana killed by Ethloplana. "T"HAT ralsea thla question: "What an Indemnity? Generally apeaklng. It la a cash pay ment demanded by a BIO nation from a LITTLE one for the killing of cltlrrna of the big nation. JilKt think back over It and see If you can recall any lnstancea when a little nation has demanded an In demnity from a big one. WHAT la the purpose of an Indem la an Indemnity? Not alwnya, of course, but far. fat too often It la an excuse for a big nation to go to war with a little one In order to take something that the big nation wanta. 30 iirinw nitin t Halt Him.

Ye Poet's Cornei I'll Be Waiting The days are lonesome and long. It seems years since you've been gone. Each night as the moon comes over the peak. In ita silvery light, your face I seek. And the whole night through, to 'early daw Each hour, each moment, for you I yearn. I miss the smile on your face so fair, I miss the brightness of your gold en hair. I miss the light In your eyes of sap phlre blue. I miss the touch of your hand on mine, too. I miss the sweetness of your rosebud- lips. As I miss your corrections ol my many slips. I miss your friendship good and true. . I miss everything that you used to do. And though I strive with all my might. I can't forget the word you spoke tftat night. Nor how you left me with a broken heart, As you sped away your career to start. Seems now my mind will brea . la two. If another day passes without hear ing from you. Yet 1 know my pain la suffered tn vain. As for my love you had nothing but disdain. Though I cannot believe our Creator above. Intended money to be more valu able than love. So remember dear as you travel afar, The door of my heart has been left ajar. With a beckoning light on the win dow sill. To let you know I love you still. And when your madness has run Hi race. Ill be waiting in the same old place. By L. R. Chandler. CAR COLLISION FATAL TO MONMOUTH WOMAN MONMOUTH. Feb. 15 (API Mra.
