FAR WITHOUT DECLARATION.

Carrying on war without declaring it, as the
French are now doing in China, is method
for which no doubt plenty of precedents can
be shown. 1t has been done in fact, at intervals,
from the sixteenth century, and it is argued
by some publicists that the Tapidity of modern
communication has rendered the old formal
mode obsolete Certainly it is no longer neces-
sary TO the advertisement of the beginning of
hostilties that the belligerents should publicly
inform one another of their intentions.
Formerly this form was requisite to give fair
warning to the subjects of the belligerents.
Now all the world, as rule knows what is about
to happen as soon as the Governments them
selves. But there is ground for believing that
the omission of formal declarations of war
by strong Powers engaged in quarTels with
weak ones may have a much less creditable
explanation. Those who declare war put them
selves under moral Obligations to conduct 1t in
accordance with the comfy of nations; es-
pccially are they bound to observe those in
ternational ordinances which have been agreed
upon for the purpose of mitigating the horrors
of war and minimizing the sul1erings of non
combatants. But when a strong Power makes
war without declaring it upon a weak nation.
IL can IcSOIl W ludIg SIIibSJ thdciOub anu SUD
terfuges to justify the employment of practices
which the common sense of civilized humanity
has condemned.
This seems to be one Of the reasons why
France has made war upon China without de-
claring it. SO far as can be gathered from the
vague and meagre dispatches about the bonn
bardment of Foo Chow, the French irOncads
deliberately threw their shot and shell into the
midst of an unfOrtiiied and densey populated
city, and at the same time that they signalzed
their inhumanity by this procedure they showed
their vandalism by destroying a mass of archi-
tectural and religious monuments of the most
venerable antiquity. Ii is evident that neither
of tIese was in any proper sense AN act of war.
They were rather acts of piracy; clearly such
as no Government would care to avouch, but
such as the French yerepeatedly stained their
military record with, in Algeria, in Tunis, i'll

The rumor of a battle in Tonquin Is not
wholly improbable, although the losses on
both sides, in any event, would doubtless be
much magnified The Chinese for long time
have been supposed to be massing troops in
provinces adjacent to TonQuin, and they might
easily hope to draw the French fleet from Foo
Chow by attacking the positions of the French
in their newly conquered territory.

The most encouraging news that the friends
Of General Gordon, penned up IN the Soudan.
have had since it was made known that England
would send an expedition to KhartOum, is the
announcement that Lord WOlselcy will
be placed in command Of 1t. Their hopes of
the final rescue of Gordon ought to rise now
about 80 per cent. Lord Wolseley is the
general as every one will remember who made

cross cut in this undertaking, Lord WOlseley
will doubtless sec ii and take it.

To Band Leaders.

At meeting of brass bands and rep
resentatives from bands, held at Rome
City, Ind, on Thursday Sept. 25th,
1884, an organization was formed, which
will be known as the Tri-State Musi-
clans Association. 1t is calculated to
embrace in this organization, bands
from Southern Michigan, Northern
Indiana and Western Ohio, and the
object is to draw musicians together
once year for friendly reunion and
social intercourse. There will be a
meeting of delegates at Ft. Wayne,
Ind, on Tuesday, Dec. 9th, 1884, to fix
a time and place and make other ar
engagements for next years reunion.
Bands who have not yet received an
invitation to send a representative to
that meeting, will confer favor by
sending their names to G. X. Greene,
Secretary, Wawaka, Ind, or to Cart
Shober, President, Ft. Wayne, Ind,
either of whom will gladly furnish cir
culars and such other information as
may be desired.
