New York World In any army or navy al war it may happen that a single rash officer breaks a parole to gain liberty So acted, recently, a French aviator in- terned in Switzerland; and though he had salved his hurt conscience hy revoking his word in a letter to the Swiss Commandant, he was at once sent back with the ample apologies | of his government | But what shall we say if six men | together abuse the confidence which | a generous nation has placed in their word of honor; if they aid and abet and join each other in committing what many generations of officers and gentlemen have agreed in brand- ing as an infamous offence? The war may be little affected by the reported escape of six officers of the Kronprinz interned at Norfolk: the moral aspect of their case is dis- turbing Under a military code old and stern and not yet superseded, their countrymen and fetlow-officers might hope that they are not escaped but drowned; dead but not dishon- ored Under that code, a bit of wreckage from. the Eclipse cast ashore from the waste of waters would be a welcome sign of the grace | of the Almighty Can it be that there is in the fam- ily of civilized nations any member whose war code permits six men to-| gether to forswear their personal word of honor as gentlemen and! their professional word of honor as' officers, for a military advantage,and vet avoid the contempt of their mates in arms?
