PUNISHMENT FOR HUNS
Editors and publishers of Ameri
can trade journals who recently vis
ited the former battlefronts in
France sent a letter to President
Wilson during his stay in England
in which they proposed punishment
for the German leaders and their
agents for piracy, murder and pill
age. The communication was sign
ed by Horace 3VI. Swetland, of New
York, as chairman of the party of'
journalists; Roger W. Allen, presi-j
dent of the New York Business I
Publishers’ Association; and nine!
others from New York, Boston and
Chicago.
After stating that they had vis- j
ited the battlefields, ruined cities
and obliterated villages of Belgium
and France, they added in their
letter:
The devastation and ruin wrought
are not the work of one man or a
group of men. They are the result
of a system the policies of which
have been executed with thorough
ness by a willing public. The evi
dences of oragnized pillage and van
dalism arc on every hand.
“Every law presupposes a penalty
for its violation. The laws of na
tions that civilization has so pain-:
fully built up through the '•e.nturies
have been wantonly violated for
four long years. To fail to enforce
these laws now would be tacitly to
concede the power of repeal by the
criminals themselves. These laws
must be reestablished. To our minds
the enforcement of complete resti
tution and reparation by the people
of Germany and the punishment
of the leaders and their guilty
agents for the crime committed in
violation of existing laws against
piracy, myrder and pillage will do
more than anything else could to in
sure that future laws made by
agreement of the nations will be
observed.
“We are writing this to you
knowing that the sentiments ex
pressed would receive the support
of all Americans, could they see
these things, as we have seen them
and hear the terrible evidence from
the lips of the unhappy victims.”
AERIAL FUTURE
“The wonders of today in the
air will be as naught compared
with the wonders of tomorrow,” is
Ihe way J. A. Whitehead, the in
■-ventor, sums up his view of the
future of aviation.
“The face of the world,” he de
clared recently at London, “will be
changed. Our towns and cities will
be as different from the towns and
cities of today as the streets and
houses of London are different from
the streets and buildings destroyed
by the Great fire. Our methods of
life will be changed. Our ideas of
speed will alter. We shall be the
people of the Air Age.”
He said that England’s future
as a nation depended on the ques
tion of commercial use of aircraft,
and that this country’s task would
i be to control the aerodromes of the
; world. ‘‘They must be planned
and laid out," he continued, ‘‘by
our own workmen. We should de
velop, by means of aircraft, distant
1 and undeveloped parts of the world
and secure international co-opera
tion for the development of com
mercial aircraft.
“The success of the business
world is won by speed. The use of
the airplane in the development of
the world’s resources is a matter
not alone for the city man and the
suburban speculator, but for the
government. An exploration de
partment to find out how our sur
plus labor and wealth can best be
expended for the good of the na
tion is not only an idea—it is a
duty.”
BRITISH ACTIVITIES
Owing- to the enormous debt with
which England has bejn burdened
by the war, said Winston Churchill
recently, in explaining the t^ason
for the nationalization of British
railways, relief measures t n a big
scale are required.
“The three great parent factors
of a country’s welfare,” he con
tinued, “are land, communications
and power, and the ’hreu children
food, housing and manufacture. So
long as the railways are in private
hands they may be used for imme
diate profit. In the nan Js of the
state, however, it might be wise
or expedient to run them at a loss
if they develop industry, place the
trader in closer contact with his
market, and stimulate development.
“You cannot organize the great
questions of land settlement, r.ew
industries, and the extension of
production, unless the state las
control of the means of transporta
tion.”
A mass of information about the
railways is already available, he
said and a large part of foe task
of nationalization has automatically
accomplished itself. “I think it
highly improbable,” he went on,
“that action on this vital matter
i
can be delayed until a royal com
: mission has wandered about.”
I Explaining to the press a bill that
the Railway Nationalization Soioety
; has prepared Emil Davies, the chair
| man, said it provides for the uc
quisition of all railway stocks and
i shares at their mean market price
during the twelve months ending six
months prior to the introduction i f
the bill in Parliament, the purchase
price to be paid in 5 per cent gov
ernment stock to the railway share
holders.

SOLDIERS IN FIELD
LONDON.—For the British offi
cers and men who are to be kept
in the field until peace negotiations
are concluded, the government is
planning an educational service
corps to give them quick and in
tensive special training to fit them
for civilian employment. Courses
of instruction will cover industrial
and commercial organization, bank
ing insurance and accounting. A
correspondence bureau will form
part of the scheme, although most
of the work of instruction will be
done by a staff of lecturers.

regiment that sent over the first
gas clouds to the Huns. Reagan
is about 45 years old, and had to
