Wo men will be mobilized as well as men. All food, all goods, all wealth' will be simultaneously appropriated, j All money in the banks, all factories, every form of capital win be at tne , disposition of the country. Every ,.;t;,cn willl lie nndf-r fi?rhtinrr nr Citizen working orders. The noncombatant disappears. The Council of Defense is said to have put in four years drafting this law. Authorship, however, is credit-j ed to Deputy Paul-Boneour, a pacifist and Socialist. The proposal was sup- ported by the Socialists, who see in this law a potential vindication of their political faith. Under its op-' eration France will be a 100 per cent' Socialist State. There is nothing militaristic in th i - law, as that terms is ordinarilyj ufcJ, its sponsors aver. No thought i of aggression is entertained. It is! entirely defensive in design. It will; -invoked only in case of threatened attack or in a war approved by the! l eague of Nations. By wav of fur-! th.r- evn!i nation vp nrp tnM tb.lt the'J .... . V .. . . Fr nth do not possess the genius for organization of other peoples, partic-ialBU ularlv the Germans, and for lack of . .. .. such endowment must resort to tm j force- of law. How this law will work in actual practice can only be determined, of course, by actual test. But by the adoption of-this policy the French are again proving themselves a prac tical people. As a matter of fact, the noncombatant was in effect removed from the equation in the World War. We were all, more or les?. drafted into the service. All our resources, theoretically, at least, were pooled The man behind the plow was a fellow-warrior of the man behind the gun. The woman in the kitchen and the khaki-clad girl at the taxi wheel , were sisters in the cause. It was a contest of industrial and economic as ' sets as much as a strife of arms. - The next war, it is generally agreed, will wipe out the last ves- t:ge of immunity. It will be war to the death, without reservation, with death raining in gas and germs from the rkies. It is this prospect which had made conscription of capital a debatable subject in circles which, be fore the World War, would have eject ed it as heresy. The orthodox Mr Coolidge himself has even reported favorably on this extreme measure. While other nations have talked about it France has acted. If the evil day conieth she will be prepared. That is realism. :o: TYPICALLY AMERICAN We Americans are pretty well used to Chicago, and it takes a pretty good sized outhrerfk there to make us pay any special attention to it. But for eigners must often look on Chicago with emotion of wonder and awe. For Chicasro is unique. Never be fore has there been any city even re motely like it. No other American city resembles Chicago. Even New York, which preens itself on its pre eminence, is not like this inland me tropolis. Chicago is in a class by it self. This is not said althogethcr in de preciation, as it is possible to grow fond of the great, sprawling, shriek- ing city on the shores of Lake Michi-j gan. But of late years, when one I speaks of Chicago's difference from nHot nitioc nno inoritiihlv hoc 5 .i K , .T " the bottom of ones mind, a mental image of bold, bad gunmen, of ma - chine guns and beer trucks, of ram-J nant crimp ami hrln.ess nnliompn That this conception ,s probably unjust to Chicago is besides the point, j The crux of the matter is this The Chicago beer - ii o:., i-,-m i the logical result of present-day ten-j dencies in American city life. Chicago has incredibly desperate gangsters? Every American city has them in miniature. Certain sections of C hicago are under the sway of un-l scrupulous crooks who rule by sheer! force and lawlessness. The same con dition obtains, on a ainaii Btaie, in; many other cities. Chicago has many ...w.. i.-utn iiumiL-B au crime. So have other cities, in less virulent form.

Of course, Chicago sooner or later will clean house. And right now one who judges the city solely by the verting tale of crime that its members are enacting, gets a lop-sided impres- sion of it.
