In The war code drawn uP By DR.. Diebsr, aud
which was approved By the military authorities
and the President, there oecUT the lall9WiaE
provisions:

crimes OF sfsnses. No bsIligersnt has a
right 20 declare thst enemies Of a certain
class, color, or condition, when properly organ-
lied as soldiers, wiz not be treated By him as
public enemies.
So The law Of nations knows Of no distiuc-
