HE screaming and bursting shells that spattered the streets of Damascus with the blood of innocent men, women and children sent a thrill of horror through the civilized world—a horror not lessened by the fact that the shells were fired from the guns of a Christian nation. And the work of the artillery was supplemented by bomb- ing airplanes and by tanks that spat machine-gun fire as they lumbered through the historic streets of what is said to be the world’s oldest inhabited city. ™ “While we still mourn with the French over the shelling of the cathedral at Reims, Damascus lies in smoking ruins,” remarks the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which reminds us that “Damascus is to the Mohammedan what Reims is to the Christian.” The same paper notes further that “while the right hand of France was signing the Locarno agree- ments and intervening, as a member of the League of Na- tions, in the Greece-Bulgar squabble, its left hand was com- mitting ruthless butchery in Syria.” French witnesses from Damascus, however, are quoted - as saying that the greater part of the damage done to the city was due to vandalism by the rebels. They also argue that the shelling of Damascus “saved Syria from much more serious trouble.” The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST, the November 14th number, deals in much detail with France’s war in Syria and presents its political significance as viewed by the newspaper press of America and France. The article is graphically illustrated, with a reproduced photograph of Damascus, a map showing the territory taken over by France in Syria, and a picture of Maj. Gen. Paul Emmanucl Sarrail, who is blamed for the Damascus massacre. Parents Beware---A Warning From Church and State TATESMEN OF THE CHURCH AND NATION emphasize again S that the “perils ahead” are moral, and speaking at different times and places, urge that reform begin with the parents if the young- er generation is to be kept safely on its feet in the swirling currents of changing conditions. THE LITERARY DIGEST this week presents the views of the Presi- dent of the United States, The House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church, a Cabinet officer and the Chief Magistrate of New York City. who all draw the same conclusions and hammer the same lesson home—that parents may not wash their hands of the responsibilities of parenthood.
