in their empty heads, are running 'he

with which the government at WASH
ington can't possibly keep up. Any gin
mill in Montana can start bulletins ana

in a good newspaper Office, to get news
that Is a yard wide every time. and that
will wash and wear and be recognizable
as the real stun after 1t has stood the
test Of wear and tear.
Every day is furnishing tests as to
the relative quality of war news given
to the local public. Yesterday fur
nished one. Montana has been deeply
stirred over its Quota of recruits. 1t
seemed that the state was to be called
on for n few cavalrymen. That plan
was all upset yesterday at Washington,
and the Standard was hours ahead of
all other newspapers in this state and
all other news agencies in the country
in announcing to the people all over
Montana, as well as in Butte and Ana
conda, that the state vas to be called

emarks that the spirit which
dictated this seems to have been "a
knightly adherence of everything un-
derhanded or treacherous rather than
a desire to prevent the effusion of blood
by giving the enemy time to repair his
fault. Even in the private warfare
which characterized that age, as much
as In a duel, a challenge or formal no
tice to the enemy was necessary"
As to modern practice. Woolsey's In

teenth century formal declarations OF

and they are falling N disuse. This
disuse. woolsey suggests. does not
grow out of an intention to take the
enemy which would imply
an extreme degradation OF moral prin-
ciple. but out of the publicity and cir
culation of intelligence peculiar to
modern times" DR.. woolsey also adds
that the modern methods Of diplomacy.
with it's corps of resident ambassadors
or minister's, make il quite impossible
for any nation to be in ignorance of the
intentions of an enemy. And yet" he
adds 1.-The modern practice has its
evils. so that one cannot help wishing
back the more honorable usage of feu-
dial times"
However. IL a declaration of war Is
no longer necessary, a state entering
into war Is still bound, first. TO indi-
cate its feeling, as, for instance, by
sending away the ambassador of the
state with which it is at disagreement
second, to give to its W people infor-
nation Of the new conditions, as other
wise their persons and property may be
exposed To peril; third. to let neutrals
know tina a state of war exists. and
this early enough to permit them to
adjust their affairs to a condition Of
war. In turn. certain duties devolv,
on neutrals.
This whole matter is summed up In
