TALKS OF PEACE CONFERENCE
Captain Crozicr Discusses Work OF
Hague Meeting.

>"lsash &IpLtSf lSISctlSScS NpFA VI
Hague Meeting.
Washington, Sept. 27.-Captain Gro
Zier, of the ordnance bureau. who was
a member of the international confer.
cnce at The Hague, has returned to his
duties in the war department.. Captain
Crozier is well pleased with what was
accomplished. He says hat it was
known as o as the conference as
sembled that there could be nothing
done regarding the decrease of armies
n the cessation of invention and
progress in the matter of offensive and
defensive warfare, but the subject was
considered and given attention, though
nothing approaching III agreement
was ever reached.
TO Captain Crozier the most impor.
tam and interesting feature of the con
ference which was agreed upon is the
treaty for an international code of civ.
lied warfare. The basis of the code
was the celebrated order issued in 1856;
by the United States during the civil
war in which a code for the ire4imeut
Of prisoners, non-comhatanls, spies
women, churches and property was
provided.
The most serious point Of difference
in this matter was the treatment OF
those citizens i'll an invaded country
who. without officers, organization OF
uniform, fought in defense of Their
homes and country.
1t was finally decided that men in an
invaded country should be considered
as soldiers ii they complied with these
provisions:
Were organized under a rcsponsi.
Die officer; carried arms openly; wore
some distinctive badge or emblem and
observed the laws and customs of war
These regulations are not required in
case of sudden invasion. so thai they
cannot be complied with, provided the
c~ombatants observe the laws and Gus.
toms of war.
The protection of non-combatants
of women and children and of propcrt,
is provided for and the treatment and
definition of spies is one of the articles
Works of arr are NJ longer considered
spoils of war, and are no to be carried
away or destroyed. The destruction oil
public buildings and other public
property is not allowed unless it is alb.
solutely necessary for military pur.
poses.
Private property is not to be seized
and held except in cases of necessity
and is not to be taken unless absolute,
ly needed; church property is to be re.
spected, and the rules of the Red Cross
now used on land are extended to mari.
time warfare.
The action Of the United States in
taking the lead in the matter of the
humanencss in warfare back in 1Sc
was favorably commented on by /;
number of the delegates.

Clay County Eatr Troubles.

eNrmillion, S. D., Sept. 27.-The Clay
county fair, which was neld last week,
was a success financially, and nearly
$4,000 was taken in at the gate. The
association will have a small surplus
in the treasury after all purses and
premiums are paid. School day was !:
complete success, and thousands wei
present to see the scholars compete il.
the different contests.
The management is severely cen
sured by ON for allowing gambling
in every way, shape and manners; and
also permitting vile shows to give ex-
hibitions on the grounds. Nearly fifty
"grafters' and 'cappers" were present,
and carried on a wholesale business
under the guise of winning jewelry,
and if that was not desired money
would be paid instead. The ladies of
the w. c. L. U. made life miserable for
the fair management regarding the vile
shows, and the climax was reached
when Superintendent Conrow declared
no school day program would be given
unless they were closed up, and this
wa done on the last day. 1t is the first
time in fourteen years that anything
like it has been recorded.

%spondent of the Standard says:
The excitement. of meeting his chill
aren has produced a serious reaction
in the condition of Dreyfus, and it is
feared that it may be necessary to
send him to Mslta or Madeira"
Carpentras, Sept. 26.-It is almost Il
sacrilege to lay bare TO the world the
scenes of the family reunion in charm
ing Niilamarie. when Dreyfus clasped
in his arms his two young children,
whom he had not seen for five years.
The little ones came from Paris in
charge of a relative. Their arrival
made complete the happy family re-
union.
1t was IL charming picture that was
presented to the privileged callers.
They saw Dreyfus seated on a large
wicker chair in Il glass-inclosed shell
ter in front of the house, his children
at his knees, and Nine. Dreyfus at his
side, while gathered around him were
stanch, faithful Matthew Dreyfus and
various other members of the Eala-

Dreyfus, for the first time since 1894

whom she had been told was away on
IL long journey.
During the years of Dreyfus' impris-
onmcnt the true facts were kept from
the children. They know nothing OF
the lie du Diable. the Rennes trial or
the pardon. 1t has been Il problem for
the parents how TO break the news to
them, for they must know eventually.
The boy is s years old, bright and OBJ
serving, his mind developed sufficiently
TO comprehend so terrible a story. His
fathers martyrdom may be unfolded
gradually to him.

Deadwood, S. d., Sept. 27.-The Law.
renee county commissioners have ta-

payment of liquor licenses by the sa-

the decision of Judge Moore Il major

places of business will be closed until
payments are made.
1t was supposed by some that the

Moore rendered his decision and the
