One of the motives given by the allies for their seizure of German cities on the Rhine is the failure of the German gov ernment to turn over its war criminal- fur punishment, according to the provi sions of the Versailles treaty. This is a matter in which Americans are keen ly interested, lx-cause it involves one of t!if liiffcst moral issues of the war. The collection of reparation money probably , 1- . ll. .!. ! l.r... concerns our peopie less, uiwipu il hus a bearing on the repayment of the big debt due the United States from the al lies, and Americans naturally would like to see France and I'.elgium get enough money from Germany to repair their wasted lands and cities. The moral ac countability of the army and navy offi cers responsible for the worst horrors of the war is something that concerns all humanity. In recent months this matter has been apparently ignored by the allied powers. Having demanded the surrender of a long list of German offenders, they hesitated :ml compromised. The German govern ment promised to punish its own war criminals, and the allies dropped the sub ject with a sigh of relief, while the world looked on dubiously. The world's Missourian attitude was justified. After a vear or so of investigation, it was an nounced a short time ago that indict ments had been brought against three or four accused men out of several dozen, and they were to be tried in German courts. What will happen to them re mains to be seen. It is not expected that they will suffer much. The great mass of offenders are evidently going un scathed, as far as German authority is concerned. It is therefore up to the al lies to punish them, if they can. It is doubtful, though, whether even now the allies will insist on this point to the bitter end. Very likely they could obtain the surrender of a good many of the accused Germans, as the price of re linquishing their grasp ore German cities and industrial districts. Rut the allies are much more interested in getting hard cash than in punishing malefactors. It is not likely, therefore, that any of that brutal band, from Wilhelm down to the lowest non-commissioned officer respon sible for the shooting" of non-combatants, will ever suffer anything worse than the torment of a Prussian conscience. MARKETING LEMONS. Eastern markets, it is said, have been overstocked with lemons lately, mostly brought in from Italy and Sicily. As a result, California lemon growers around Ix)s Angeles have found their fine crops unmarketable and have been dumping them by carloads outside the city. One such dump, about 30 miles from Los Angeles, bore a sign urging passers-by to help themselves. Officials of the Cali fornia Fruit Growers' association have heard further that some citrus growers have uprooted large orchards. In one ease an orchard owner dug out CO acres of full-bearing lemon trees. The Ital ian product has been sold in New York for .$2 a box. This is less than the Cal ifornia cost of production. High freight rates across the continent considerably augment the original cost of raising the fruit. Not all American lemon growers are giving up in despair or indulging in the wasteful method of dumping their fruit beside the public highways. Some of them are dodging high rail freights by shipping their product by water, through the Panama Canal, at a much lower rale. This requires very little more D inr I . . I if, time than crossing the continent by rail. One such shipment was from Los An geles to Philadelphia. Another water shipment went to Liverpool, Eng. In the-latter case the shipper believes his product will arrive on the other side of the Atlantic in better condition than if it had crossed the continent by rail, since all need for transfer from train to ship is eliminated. Probably lemon raising in this coun try needs protection from cheap Europ ean labor On the other hand, it may need, along with a good many other American industries, to develop along new lines, trying out shipment by water direct to eastern markets or foreign IKjrts, studying co-operation and elimi nating everything which is wasteful in its methods. TUP: DEADLIEST POISON. The chemical service of the United States army has announced the discovery of a liquid poison so powerful that three drops of it touching anyone's skin would cause death. An airplane carrying two tons of it could wiiio out every living lung in an area 1(0 feet wide and seven miles long within a few minutes. If the German army had iossess'ed this poison in sufficient quantities, with planes to scatter it, the American army of 1,2.0, 000 men in the Argonne might have been annihilated in half a day It is easy to make, say the discoverers. The raw ma terials exist almost everywhere. The chief requisite is electric power. The last war was horrible enough, but if there is ever another big war, it may make all the horrors of France and Flan ders look like a mere football game. Warfare hereafter is manifestly going to mean extermination. In the very hideousness of such man- killing inventions . there is salvation. True, it used to be said that the big can non and the machine gun would elimi nate war because they made it so deadly, and yet nations fought in spite of their deadliness, as bravely and persistently as ever. But there is a limit to such en durance. It will no longer be a question of courage when whole populations can be annihilated by human agency as by a volcanic blast. A time will come, and.! possibly sooner than most people expect, when the survival of the human race, or at least the civilized part of it, will depend on stopping war entirely. When it grows clear that the choice is between peace and extinction, there will be no question of the decision. . The nations will agree to lay down their arms. The troubles of the average man with his income tax forms have been the theme of many a song, story and cartoon ever since the fun began. At 'first the difficulties were taken as a matter of course a necessary, though disagree able concomitant of paying the income tax. Of Tate it has been dawning on many of the "best minds" that these dif ficulties are not only unnecessary, but duu in inemseives. A cry is going up from all sides for simpler tax forms and a simpler law. The United States treasury is paying back millions of dol lars which it has collected unjustly, ow ing to misunderstandings, and is at the same time trying to collect other mil lions not paid in because of other mis understandings. Nothing can be more wasteful than paying for mistakes of the past. The way to escape this waste of effort . is to avoid the mistakes. If the present administration can frame a tax mg system which will permit of a tax blank comprehensible by any ordinary mind, and will get that; simple, comfort able and fool-proof system in good work ing order, it will have earned the grati tude of every citizen who pays an income tax. The fund requested for feeding the hungry children of Europe has been raised. Now happy, healthy, overfed America can turn her eyes the other way and look the Chinese situation squarely in the face. Conditions, in China are worse than they aro in Central Europe, More people are starving and help is harder to get. Ir. Harding has issued an appeal for America to make her next The End of a Perfect great charity the providing of food for the hungry Chinese. Mrs.' Harding has announced the cutting of one course from all dinners at the White House and the application of money so saved to this cause. Most religious and social or ganizations already have plans made for raising funds and everybody will want to do his part The leaven is working slowly. Brick layers and plasterers of Mobile, Ala bama, have voluntarily reduced their wages from $10 to .8 a day, giving as the reason the reduction in the cost of living. The railroad men still refuse to acknowledge any reduction in living costs. The Lynn property owner who has been exploited in the news as the land lord with a heart of gold is matched by one at Whitinsville, Mass., who is prac ticing the golden rule by handing back to his tenants 15 percent of their rent because their wages had been reduced.

Senator Vilas of Chittenden county, The Rutland News believes, is absolutely right in his defense of the direct primary. It may not be. however, that at present we get any better results than under the old convention system. It is a self-evident fact, though, if gov ernment by the ieople is to endure it must come solely through the ability of the people to govern themselves properly. In Vermont the convention system gave us corruption. Offices were virtually on the auction block. Usually, however, we obtained men of more ability than ot pjres- ent we get tnrougu me uireci primary Yet the working out of the system was 'a travesty on justice, and frequently a dis grace to the state.
