Postas Union LEGAL ETHICS. HEN Mr. Bainbridge Colby suddenly resigned from the posi-| tion of counse] to the Thompson investigating committee} he protested that in so doing he was moved solely by a pecaliarly sensitive regard for the niceties of legal ethics and by no} other motive. It now develops that Banker George W. Young, a former client of! Mr. Colby, and a recent witness before the Thompson committee, | thinks he can cancel all obligations to the committee along with) Mr. Colby. It was Mr. Colby who offered to produce Mr. Young as a witness; ib was Mr, Colby who, as counsel for the committee, examined Mr. Young. It becomes necessary to subpoena Mr. Colby in order to/ discover the cause of Mr. Young’s change of attitude toward the com-| mittee as shown in orders given by some one at Mr. Young’s hotel to! throw out anybody who came there to subpoena the banker. | The committee has a new counsel and is quite capable of carry- ing its work to a conclusion despite any trouble Mr. Young may cause it. bad | But it should be interesting to have on record Mr. Colby’s views! as. to the propriety of bringing a witness to the stand in a public] inquiry only under such circumstances as may suit his purposes or} those of his lawyer—also the opinion of an expert on legal ethics as to how far they permit counsel to embarrass or trifle with a proceed- ing of profound importance from the standpoint of public interest) and protection. IN ARMENIA. 1 EWS of the Russian advance in the Caucasus continues to indi- cate that the fall of Erzerum was only the edge of the dark shadow now sweeping across the fortuges of the Central Pow- ers in the East. Three Turkish army corps, flying from Erzerum and cut off by the Russian drive, are said to be toiling through snowy wastes in immi- nent peril of capture. One Russian force moviu, north is reported within sixty-five miles of Trebizond, the Black Sea port, while another pushes south to get posession of the Bagdad railway. If there two moves succeed—and they appear to be meeting with little or no re- siatance—the Mussians will hold @ north and south line across Turk- ish Asia. Germany has little more to hope from her Turkish ally. No Aoubt she has already taken her eyes off Egypt and the great highway to India. Her disappointment takes the form of new assaults upon the western line and fresh threats of terrible things to be accomplished by her airships and submarines. Meanwhile Armenia has turned with profound relief to the Rus- sians. Fifty thousand Armenians have joined the forces of the Grand Duke Nicholas, and Turkish troops retreating through Arme- nian territory are said to be reaping some of the horror they have sown. Though it be true, millions of Christians will hear it in grim silence, -Arinenia’s atonement has been made again and again—in advance. \ ‘ PROSPERITY FORGETS. 0 GOOD TIMES turn the thouglits of the prosperous toward cbarit Not this winter, it would appear from the experience of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor. Supt. Moor-| rman of the Aseociation’s Employment Bureau declares that although) “the actual number of the unemployed is practically negligible as vompared with last year, there seems to be a corresponding lack of} interest in the unemployment problom on ta ri of the public at large.” h 1 “The result is that it has actually been harder for some of our philanthropic agencles to meet this season the demand from the needy poor for material relief than it was in last year's slack and depression.” Here is a curious twist to the humane instinct in this city of ywealth and abundance. When the well-to-do have most to give it is hardest to convince them that others are in need. Do the rich have} to feel the need of giving up a luxury or two before they remember that many deserving families lack food? = Or is il that prosperity always tak generally for granted? self too ¢ sntly and] —-4-— “The duty of holding a neutral conduct may be inferred without anything more, from the obligation which justice and humanity impose upon every nation, in cases,where it is free to act, to maintain inviolate the relations of Peace and amity towards others nations.” GEORGE i WASHINGTON.
