The execution of the English
nurse Elizabeth Cavill, by the Ger
mans yesterday, after having been
found guilty of assisting a number of
English prisoners to escape, is greatly
to be deplored, as it will undoubtedly
further inflame those minds already
inflamed by rabid partisanship. And
yet, when a nurse or physician takes
the oath of neutrality,, and swears to
use their professional services only
to the extent of their ability as such,
they are carefully warned against
giving aid to prisoners or suo^or to
any party only those under their care.
The laws of warring nations declare
that if they do they will be adjudged
spies and treated as such. Knowing
these things any party found guilty
of a violation of their pledge cannot
expect to get off with a slap on the
wrist. In time of war the minds of
individuals are so inflamed by the
press and officials that the populace
or nation will do things it would
shrink from in time of peace. Wit
ness, if you please, this country, at
the time of the assassination of Abra
ham Lincoln. After Booth, the as
sassin, was surrounded and shot
down for refusing to surrender, Mrs.
Surratt, at whose boarding house
Booth had lodged previous to his
crime, was taken and hung, notwith
standing the fact that she protested
that Booth was given shelter upon
payment of her usual charge, just as
any other boarder would have been
accepted. Dr. Mudd, the physician,
who set Booth’s leg, notwithstanding
the fact that he knew absolutely noth
ing of Booth, had never seen nor
heard of him until Booth sought his
services in a professional way. was
(imprisoned in the fortress at the Tor
tugas, for many years, and only es
caped hanging through influential j
friends. Today the government would
not even cause the arrest of parties
so plainly guiltless of crime. At the
.time, however, ten hundred thousand
throats cried for their lifes.
At the time, England, whose sym
pathies were with the Confederacy,
characterized the hanging of Mrs.
Surratt as the most brutal crime of
the century, and their ambassador
appealed to the President of the Uni
ted States in the name of humanity
to commute her sentence to impris
onment, but in vain.
Any student of history will remem- j
ber the hundreds of innocent lives1
taken by European nations. The
whole history of those countries, both
church and state, has been written !
in blood; innocent blood—the blood j
of children, of infants, of women and I
men.
War is war. The more horrible i
and the more brutal it is, the quicker !
it will end, and the more a nation will
hesitate about declaring it.

A WASTEFUL PEOPLE.
Wastefulness is undermining our1
National strength. Waste of our nat
ular resources, our forests, our
stores of fuel, our edifices, our hu
man wealth. Our mining waste is a I
million dollars a day; our fire waste
1b $250,000,000 a year to say noth
ing of twice that amount for the |
maintenance of fire departments and
■the payment of insurance premiums.
We waste more life and limb through
accidents, fatal or otherwise, yearly,
than are destroyed in war. The cost
of our accidents, if they could he
measured in money, would more than
pay for our army and navy and prac
tically any increase in these arms of
the national defense that has been
urged. We waste untold sums In log
rolling projects, for useless army
posts, unnecessary public buildings,
the improvement of two by four riv
ers and harbors. No new taxes are
needed to meet the requirements of
national defense if the money thrown
away In selfish congressional bicker
ings is saved and applied.—Frederick
W. Keough, editor American Indus
tries.
The report of Supt. Millard that
rich ore values have been struck in
the Granite mine in the upraise, at
the 350-foot level, will be good news
to the people of the Valdez district.
For the past three years the Millards
have put many hundred thousand dol
lars and unbounded enefgy Into the
Granite mine, and at all times their
faith in the future of the mine has
never wavered an Instant. That it
will be a big thing for Valdez, this
proving of the existence of vast bod
ies of richer ore than was ever dream
ed of, is undoubted. The mine is al
ready equipped with good reducing
machinery, and it will only be a short
time until a smelter will be placed
on the Sound, and with the Colonel’s
push and enterprise, it would not sur
prise us if it was in the neighbor
hood of the Granite.
PROTEST AGAINST
AEROPLANE ATTACK
Luxemburg Believes She Is Entitled
to Gratitude of Allies Instead
of Attack.
BERLIN, Oct. 22.—The Overseas
News Agency says that a protest to
the Entente powers has been made by
the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg
against the recent attack on the City
of Luxemburg by the aeroplanes of
the Allies.
The mayor of Luxemburg says the
people of that city have been contrib
uting to the healing of the wounded
of Belgium and France, as well as in
Germany, and that therefore they are
entitled to the gratitude of the Allies
and do not deserve treatment of this
kind. The bombs fell into the crowd
ed sections of the city and far distant
from the sections utilized by the Ger
man troops.
Gotham Society Shocked when Mrs.
Shepard takes Foundling into
Her Home as Her Son.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—Mrs. Shep
ird, who was Miss Helen Gould be
fore her marriage, has shocked soci
ety by adopting a foundling known
it the orphanage as John Doe, No.
104. The boys is five years old and
s one of four children whom Mrs.
Shepard discovered sleeping on the
steps of the church when she was
married.
All efffforts by her to learn the chil
Iren’s parentage failed as none of the
ots could ever remember having a
lome. All were placed in the orphan
ige by Mrs. Shepard and she has an
lounced that homes will be found for
he others. She believes that rich
lamilies who are without children
should adopt foundlings in order that
:he children might have a chance to
tsecome useful citizens, and states she
much prefers a child to a pet animal.
1)0 SEA IilONS LIVE
ON SALMON OR SQUID?
Pacific Fisherman: The alleged
menace to the salmon-fishing indus
try which the presence of sea lions
md hair seals in the North Pacific
waters constitutes, and the means
which can be adopted to get rid of
them, will be considered by a royal
commission appointed by the Domin
ion of Canada.
The members of the commission
tire Dr. C. F. Newcombe, Victoria
chairman; Dr. C. McLean Fraser, of
the biological station, Nanaimo; Pro
fessor A. T. Cameron, of the depart
ment of Physiology, University of
Manitoba, and W. Hamer Greenwood,
Vancouver, secretary.
There is a bounty of two dollars
Bach on sea lions paid by the Domin
ion government, and this year so far
$5,760 has been paid. Most of them
were caught off the north end of Van
couver island. In Queen Charlotte
Sound and on the Sea Otter g'roup of
islands. The canners of Rivers Inlet
spent $2,400 last year In attempts to
lessen the numbers of these animals.
Drs. Newcombe and Fraser left on
August 28 on the fishery cruiser
Malaspina for the north to make an
investigation on’ the feeding grounds
of the sea lions into the nature of
their food. It is claimed by some au
thorities that the sea lion does not
feed on salmon but on squid, and it
is to be hoped that this commission
will settle the question.
