’ run um Gl‘ll’l’Y PARTIES.
‘. The. city administration owes it to
the firemen of Norwalk to disprove. if.
possible. the unenviable rtputation
which has been attached to them .by
ugly reports afloat concerning the pil-
ferings and misconduct of certain in-
dividuals at the Royal James hotel fire
on Saturday night. Our fire fighters
are too good a body of men to have
fastened on them the stigma of such
misconduct. It is generally believed
that the thievery was committed by
outsiders who gained access to the
burning building owing to lack of ade-
quate police service.
Hotel guests certainly had every
reason to expect protection. Instead.
" their apartments \‘verc ransacked and
' valuables Were stolen while they were
Qndeavoring to save their own lives.
It seems hardly possible that men in
authority so far lost their sense of
good judgment. as to indulge in in-
toxicants reported to have been taken
from certain apartments. Such asser-
tions. however. are being freely Cir-
culatcd.
Is it not incumbent. therefore. on
the part of the Council. to investigate
this phase of the Royal James line and
learn just what the facts are? Our
firemen arc entitled to know just who
is at fault in this matter. And the
public also is entitled to such informa-
tion. 'l‘hv guilty parties shouldn't cs“
capv.

A IIA'W AGAINST “'AR.
Florence E. Allen. first woman

explains:
“W'hen there is no law against war

against the proposed Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence deep waterway
Business men and public

This may be :1 nntural thing for New
York to do. as a matter of selfointerest
and there can be no legitimate objec-
tion anywhere to fair discussion of the
subject. but many people outside of
New York bclicvc that the metropolis
is going about the matter in an un-
fortunate way.
There is no question of the hold
which this project has taken on the
national mind. Some New York
spokesmen have represented it. is a
purely agricultural Middle \Vest plan.

the law of the sacredness of life. Those
who rely completely on a world court
for achieving peace forget that such a
court cannot stop war until there is a
law forbidding war."
“We have to make the world agree
that international lighting. unless in
self-defense, is criminal and is mur-
der."
This is a point which many people
have not yet reached, in their thinking
about world politics. But it is evi-
dently the end Lloyd George has in
mind in seeking’the agreement of 34
nations not to make war on each other
for 10 years. Perhaps if this tem-
porary substitute for a law against war
comes into force. it will lead to a real
law later on.
