Show PISTOL USE IN BY NORMAN H. MVTSON. Special Correspondent of The Standard-Examiner. (Copyright, 1922. by The Standard-Examiner Standard-Examiner ) LONDON, July S. The cult of the dood, the use of pistol and bomb for purposes of political debato. continues to be held In high regard by tho youth of the old world, If it is not, indeed, gaining In favor. All &the ministers of the British cabinet, and those M. P.'s who have taken promlneji parts In the Irish controversy are now being be-ing carefully guarded lost some frantic fran-tic young man empty his automatic into one of them by way of an additional addi-tional "gesturo" for tho cause Germany's Ger-many's leaders, who had grown a little careloss, aro now, after tho Rathenau and Maximilian Harden Incidents, In-cidents, moro closely protected than ever before. It's a rtull day In Italy when tho wholesalo grocer's son doesn't get an opportunity to take a pot shot at the shoemaker's apprentice, appren-tice, witht.whose political philsophy he disagrees or tho apprentice doesn't find an emphatic Individualist to shy a bomb at. In Ireland the other day a schaal teacher, belonging to tho wrong generation gen-eration (I e., not this one) advanced on a naughty boy with an upraised ruler and changed his plans when the naughty boy made a Huggcstion with an automatic. Not so long ago I saw a parado of fascist! returning from a "punitive expodltion" in Milan, Mi-lan, and tho standard bearer was a promising gunman in short pants and socks, his knees bare. He was rather rangy to be still submitting to Faunt-loroy Faunt-loroy tailoring, but not so big that his mother couldn't successfully Insist. In-sist. "Thou shalt not kill." says the youth of tho extreme right and tho. extreme left; anything is fair in war and to that confession of faith, this explanatory footnote: THEORY A BOOMEItANG. A war is an armod strugglo botwnon nations, between a nation and a group of Individuals, between groups within a nation, and cvon botwoen an individual and any of the olhorj a. comprehensive definition. It is a curious fact that the plonoer evnn-ffollsts evnn-ffollsts of tho cult of tho deed, thoso who made tho phrases now so popular in western Europe, are on trial for their lives in Moscow. The social revolutionaries made '"war" on the cRar by bombing individual members of his government when tho bof-ahovjkl bof-ahovjkl set up their dictatorship tho S, R.'s naturally continued tholr tactics, tac-tics, killing Volqdarsky, planning but falling to blow ip Trotzky and putting put-ting two polsonpflJJUllcMa into Lcnfnc, before their organization was Jefi- nitclv amashed and their leaders jailed. If the S. R.'s did much to popularize popular-ize tho terminology o tho popular and oxcltlng gamo o political murder, mur-der, the war developed a. gcnoratlon of young men whoso moat Imprea- Blonable years were largely spent in listening to enthusiastic descriptions of killing, or actually engaging in It. A great proportion oi tho hearty young killers of Ireland, Germany and Jtaly and of othor countries, no doubt, aro those who after years of anticipation antici-pation grow up to flnd no enemy on whom to use tholr automatics. In tho "dofenso of nationalism, internationalism, internation-alism, militarism, or pacifism," they aro finding opportunity for solf expression. There is a sense in which the waste paper basket is as nacrod as the gravo, says G. K. Chesterton In his prefaco to "XjOVo and Friendship and other Early Works," containing hithorto unpublished writings of Jane Austin, written by hor before sho was 17. But tho raking out of W. L. Stovon-son's Stovon-son's waste basket is anothor fltory. Important published letters and lh9 MSB. of his unpublished play. "Monmouth." "Mon-mouth." are to bo sold in London on July 11. The play Is evidently a very bad one. Ho himself mocked at it, reciting lines from It to show how ' not to write a play, and those who i still hold Stevenson was a groat H writer arc hoping that Monmouth v,'iU H bo bought by someone who will keep H it dark. The letters, howover, arc ln H tcrcstlng. H |
