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.

which I have never since lost.
“Montana had some real bad
men in those days, especially the
Curry gang of desperadoes. Cat
tle rustling, train robbing with
an occa'icnal mrrdor was their
main business.
“A five years’ feud developed
between the Paddle G Ranch and
the gang, and there were three
| killings before the gang was brok
en up.
“P p Curry, the head of the
gang, thought it would be a good
idea to confiscate our property,
and the feud started when he
urned up at the ranch early one
morning with his men and shot
my boss, Jim Winters, as he was
washing his hands and face in
the yard.
£ 15,000 Robbery
"Curry’s horse bucked, and the
!shot only grazed Jim, who dash
ed into the house and opened fire
from a window. 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
