TOWN in the great forest land of Paraguay
L -or perhaps it is Bolivia; the title is
disputed—one hundred Paraguayans And a
smaller number of Bolivians lie dad, accord-
ing to cable dispatches. Many more than a
hundred Paraguayans, if this battle was like
all other battles, lie wounded.
It may be that each battle victim fell, with
a clean bullet thru his heart, that his death
was instantaneous and without pain. It may
be that the wounded were gathered up without
delay and carried gently to the most modern
and sanitary of hospitals, where skilled sur-
geons waited to dress their wounds and white
garbed nurses to soothe their suffering; that -
comfortable hospital trains stood by ready to
take them home to their admiring families.
Or—and this seems quite as likely-—they
may lie suffering agonies in the humid heat
of the sub-equatorial summer, with insects
crawling across their faces and vermin attack-
ing their open wounds; they may lie with
•tricken eyes gazing toward the sky where
vultures wing slowly, searchingly, waiting to
claim their flesh when death has corn". What
the woods of that southern world are like in
warm weather is easy to imagine. What facili-
ties these warring governments have to fur-
nish their martyred patriots likewise can be
guessed.
In any case there cannot be anything very
pretty about this war. There never was any-
thing pretty about any war, as the men who
fight the battles know even better than the
pacifists who protest—not meaning-to deny
that the fighters and the pacifists often are
the same pot gnaw.
No, it seems a stupid and cruel business, no
matter how high the hearts of the young men
who march .away to fight.
Among the Bolivian dead was Second
Lieutenant Chavarria. (Many, many second
lieutenants will die if this war is fought as
the World War was fought.) Three brothers
of Chavarria, so the dispatches tell, called on
the Bolivian President asking permission to
join the army to avenge his death. "The
President embraced them with deep emotion.
’■'The chief of staff told them: 'Your brother
has died gloriously. I congratulate you in the
name of the Bolivian army'!"
War has begun. Reason has departed. To-
morrow Bolivians will tell one another that the
Paraguayans use polsoned bullets, that they
murder innocent Bolivian babes and women in
their beds, that they cut off the hands of. boys
and girls, and frenzied - fireside patriots of
Paraguay will spread the same view of the
Bolivian troops throut their own cities, towns
and villages.
The cause of all this is a strip of forest
country, containing oil, which each nation's
government claims as Its own. Their Presi-
dents and War Ministers may call it "national
honor,” but It remains, in fact, just a great
strip of unpopulated land—containing oil.
Whose |t is by right it would be foolish to
attempt to say. Ten years from now, we may
be able to get at the truth of the matter, as
we have begun to get at the real World War
causes.
Death for one's country Is a glorious thing.

By MBS. WALTER FEnGESOX:
rTHE life of tlie modern woman is fearfully
A cluttered up with organizations. One type
runs lo bridge parties, another to reform.
And in most Eases the home and the chil-
dren suffer. It seems unfortunate that we
women are not wise enough to realize that we
often toss away the wheat of life for the
chaff of the social world.
If young mothers could only be made to
understand how short is a child's infancy!
The average woman these days does not have
six, eight or a dozen children, as her grand-
mother did. A family of four is unusual. Too
many couples make the mistake of having only
one child. Few indeed are the women who
can be actually said to be tied down very long
by their growing families.
And no mother has her baby to herself
save for six short years. And six years Is but
a moment in the span of our days.
Doesn't it look as if for this little time .the
intelligent mother should consider her child
the most Important thing in her life and its
proper rearing her most serious work? And
yet eacli day one sees young women who are
cross and discontented because they can't get
away when the neighborhood bridge club meets
and who consider themselves veritable slaves
to their babies. They do not know that they
are queens Instead of servants.
Nor do I think it the part of good sense
for any mother to give up all her social activi-
ties. If any person in the land should keep up
with the times, It is the mother. But I do
believe that she should put her children first
always and never allow social duty to interfere
with home duty.

too soon anyway. ■ After the children are

A 22-year-old taxicab driver
H and his 18-year-old wife
were shot to death at Franklin
Square, L. I., last Friday night.
After Investigating the case,
authorities believe that the
crime was committed to seal
I his lips as a State witness in
connection with a recent hold-
up.
Just one more illustration of
how gangland maintains its
rule. The spoiling of evi-
dence by murder has become
an important factor in organ-

Nothing balks tlie adminis-
tration of Justice in this coun-
try today like dead witnesses,
or those who have become too
scared to talk.
Thousands of people living
in the slums of our great cit-
ies have learned to fear the
gang much more than they
fear the law.
The ruthlessness and success
with which man after man and
woman after woman has been
killed, for no other reason
than to prevent the truth
from coming out In court, has

Is'the only thing that makes
Justice possible. If we can-
not get at the facts, we can
get nowhere.
No one realizes this better
the criminal, and he has built
up to the gang for no pur-
pose so distinctly as to cover
his tracks by an enforced con-
spiracy of silence.
