The great war of the future is being
fought today in Spain, and it bears out the
claims of military experts that the civil pop-
ulation will bear the brunt of the next con-
flict.
Madrid has been under bombardment and
artillery fire for weeks, with thousands of
civilian lives lost. Just now Bilbao is catch-
ing it from the rebels, who have refused to
permit Great Britain and France, as an act
of mercy, to evacuate women and children.
In defiance of the rebels the French and
British have decided to go ahead anyhow.
The first contingent of refugees to betaken
by French and British boats under British
naval convoy will number 30,000. In all,-
about 300,000 refugees in Bilbao hope for
rescue from the heavy bombing and shell-
lire of the rebels.
It seems to Ive' the settled policy of the
rebel command to “strafe” the civil popula-
tion. as a part of its plan of breaking the
loyalist resistance.
The next big war will produce like tactics,
no doubt. Heavy long range guns and aerial
bombardment will make shambles of popula-
tion centers, the civilians dying along with
the combatants.
license commisisoner, remarked!
“This is the beginning of the end of in-
corporated filth."
The commissioner called the burlesque
acts "coarse, vulgar and lewd ” He said
the welfare of the public was “clearly im-*
perilled by the type of performance, the
language used, and the display of nudity.”
Thus New York strikes a blow at a type
of “entertainment’’ that has won popularity
in many cities—the strip-tease

lowed throughout the country. Plain vulgar-
ity has had its fling. The protests_of the

News comes from Home that in the last
two weeks of March the Fascist government
banned from Italy no less than three foreign
journals, two of which have international
standing and authority. They arc the New
York Herald Tribune, the London Daily i
Telegraph and the Swiss Neue Basier Zei- !
tung. There are many other non-Italian
newspapers and magazines, mostly British
and French, whose entry into Italian terri-
tory was forbidden a long time ago.
In some instances the reason given for the
ban and confiscation of foreign newspapers
in Italy is that they publish tendentious news
calculated to disturb the friendly relations
to doubt the sincerity of the German de-
mand. While she had the colonies she got
very little from them; only a handful of
Germans were colonized on the land. The
demand for their return is a part of the dic-

contains a mandatory ban against Ameri-

tions. The act also prohibits lending money
to belligerents, thus eliminating a factor
which, indirectly at least, had some influ-
ence on America's decision in 1917.
Another mandatory provision bans the
arming of American merchant vessels trad-
ing with belligerents. Among the numerous
discretionary provisions is one which gives
the president authority to impose a cash-
and-carry policy by outlawing shipment of
any goods from this country until title in
them has been transferred to a foreign coun-
try.
The real test of the act is likely to come,
however, in the discretionary power to em-
