THE COURSE OF EMPIRE After some eleven months of Pax Romana. the civi lizing of Ethiopia has advanced to the point where Ital ian Viceroy Graziani, passing out gifts, is freed to dodge a barrage of hand grenades. And the Italian militia, to be sure that none guilty escapes, rounds up a large number of natives in Addis Ababa and ‘‘liqui dates” them before firing squads. Thus does the new Roman Empire run true to the course pursued by the old Roman Empire, the British Empire, the French Empire, and all other imperial ad ventures, including our own. When one people assum es that its destiny is to carry its own particular brand of civilization to other peoples, it may as well take for granted that the others will react with their own par ticular brands of gratitude.—(N. Y. World Telegram.) WAR'S GENTLE SIDE A device that blossomed in the World war is said to be proving quit? successful in the Spanish conflict. It is the dropping of propaganda over enemy lines. Such literature contains invitations to desert, and de scribes temptingly the splendid treatment that prison ers receive. Because of its success, the idea may be used to great er extent in future wars. And, though propaganda generally serves no good purpose, it is possible that this practice might be an exception. For one thing, war prisoners are apt to get better treatment, since their captors naturally will want word of it to spread to the enemy and spur defection from the ranks. And at the very worst it is a little more human to beat your enemy by luring his men away with soft words than by blowing his insides out with high ex plosives. MINERS!

Pop Curry caught a bullet in the neck and was killed. They rode off swear ing vengeance, taking their dead chief with them. “The gang shortly afterwards held up a train and robbed it of bullion worth 15,000 pounds. They remained in hiding in their mountain lair for a while, and began their war on the Paddie G Ranch. “They surrounded the place & their guns set up> a little sym phony of hate. Jim Winters was killed before he could slip into the house. “I dodged the bullets by zig zagging among the boulders, and managed to reach Landusky, the (Continued on Page Pour) Down Town Blaze Calls Large Fire Foree Almost circling the building with streams of water, most of Detroit's fire fighting crews quelled a fire in a live-story building mi l prevented its s vreading to a section hotrs'ng a hotel.
