LOCALIZED WARFARE.
Agreements by which Civilized Nations
Diminish Wars Horrors.

Agreements by which Civilized Nations
Diminish Wars Horrors.
What is called international law in
respect Of warfare is npact among
nations as to certain rules and forbesr.
ances that shall be observed in conduct.
ing hostilities should war arise between
any Of the parties to the agreement.
II is agreed among the great nations
Of Europe that In the event Of war arts.
ing, arraying any one Of these pow.
ers against another, there shall be nc
privateering OIL either side. This limits
the capturing or destruction Of the enc.
my's commerce to the operations Of reg.
ularly commissioned warships.
At the beginning Of the present war
with Spain President Mckinley pro-
claimed that the neutral dag covers enc.
my's goods with the exception Of con.
traband of war and that neutral goods
not contraband Of war are not liable 10
coufscation under the enemy's flag.
There are differences Of opinion as to
whether certain articles are contraband
Of war-tbat is, whether theS can be
useful to the enemy. Thus, while sui
phur, from which powder might be
made, ia contraband, it is still an unde.
cided question whether the same rule
applies to coal that might be used in
steaming by the enemy's warships.
In all modern wars, even when such
savage forces as Spain and Turkey are
engaged, the Red Cross flag has been re-
spected BY combatants on both sides.
No pillaging il now allowed in war.
but an army may take whatever it needs
for its use in passing through country
food for men and horses, wagons and
animals for transportation, arms. MUM.
tions and supplies Of all kinds.
In the present war Spain claims
right to grant letters Of marque to priva-
teers, but has intimated that she will
simply place under naval control the
merchant ships that are to serve ~ aux.
iliaries in this conflict.

The SOLDIERS RELIEF FUND.

Editor DjemOcrdi
The churches and people Of Maine
have been asked 10 contribute toward 4
fund for the use of the sick and wounded
OF the Maine Volunteers. The response
has been very satisfactory up 10 the
present time. About $1,000 has been sent
70 me. OF Oxford County towns Peru,
Canton, Paris, Sumner and Norway have
responded, that Is, some of the churches
in these towns have sent collections. The
list will be published later when all have
been heard from who will contribute.
The money is deposited in one of our
national banks here, and the surgeon of
the regiment, Major Bradbury, has a
check book. so the money Is safe from
loss and is instantly available in case
of need. The reason for the col
lection Of funds for this purpose is
this three men died in the hospitals
during the rebellion for every man killed
in battle. Much Of this great loss OF
life could have been avoided IL proper
and sufficient care could have been
given the sick and wounded. We pro-
pose TO do all possible 10 prevent rep
etition of this needless sacrifice of life.
The surgeons have asked for this aid,
and the plan adopted has the official
endorsement Of Adj. Gen. Richards. It
is evident that the people are willing to
give il they can have q chance. trust
every church in Oxford County will send
some offering, however small.

POTATO BLIGHT CAN BE PREVENTED
FULL DIRECTIONS WILL BE SENT ON
APPLICATION TO THE EXPERIMENT
STATION AT oRoSo.

To the Fdrmers Of Maine:
On account Of potato blight there were
practically no good potatoes grown In
Maine in 1897, and In some parts OF the
state the crop was entirely ruined. Po-
tato blight Is a fungus disease. Spray
ing with Bordeaux mixture will pre-
vent but caunot cure blight. Each dol
lar Invested In spraying last year would
have saved $50. An investment OF
$4,000 in spraying apparatus and In
labor would have saved the state more
than $1,000 900.
Are you going to spray your potatoes
this year? II so, send to the Experiment
Station, Orono, Maine, for Directions
for Spraying POtatoes." Remember
that sprinkling Is not spraying. Bor-
deaux mixture applied 10 the liquid form
IL the only sure preventive of rust. II
may be that there will be no rust this
year. II 1t comes you will surely lose
your potatoes or have potatoes OF poor
quality II you do not spray. The time
to insure is before the house burns down.
