receive the sanction of civilized nations.
Looting is not permissible and authorize
ed pillage is only resorted to as a last
necessity. The pillage of a town taken
by assault is an act of barbarism and a.
town that defends itself well must be
treated as humanely as if it a quickly
capitulated.
Spies are punishable with death since
there is no mischief to guard against
the mischief that they may do. A spy is
a person who, while in disguise, pene
trates the enemy's ranks. If he retains
his uniform he cannot be regarded as a
spy. No one cam be compelled to under
take the Office Of a spy but a commander
may avail himself of that or even more
treacherous information. Every mode of
deceiving the enemy which is not per-
1dious is permissible but any other con-
duct is d~ishonorable. It is an outrage to
use a place protected by a hospital flag
for any other purpose and a flag of truce
can only be used legitimately for the pur-
pose of entering into some arrangements
with the enemy. If adopted for the pur-
pose of obtaining surreptitiOus infOrma-
/ ton about the enemy it ceases to be a
flag of truce and its bearers may be
treated as spies. When a flag of truce
is sent from a detachment during an en-
gagement the troops from which it IS
sent must cease firing. The troops to
which it is sent should, if they are willing
to accept it, signal to hat effect and also
Ecease firing. 1t is not necessary, however,
that the firing should cease as soon as the
flag appears and no complaint can be
made If it's bearers are killed. 1t is GUS
tomary, however, to signal the bearers to
retire, after which, If they do not obey,
they may be fired upon.
Military occupation of a country must
be real and ceases directly the invader re-
treats or advances in such a ann as
to quit their hold upon the occupied ter
ritory. In cases Of military occupation
the authority Of regular government Is
supplanted by hat of the invading army.
Any laws OF the country may be abrogar-
ed n new ones may be substituted.
A state of war is only put to an end by
a treaty OF peace or a general truce. The
former abOlishes the subject of war; the
latter leaves the question undecided. A
suspension OF arms, an armistice, or q
partial truce are about the same him
A commanding officer has power to con-
clude an armistice but he is liable to
punishment from the government II he
does this contrary to orders. The con-
tract binds from the hour on which it is
concluded. but he cannot agree for the
delivery up Of the sovereignty over a ter
ritory or %stipulate for any permanen,
rights to be conferred on the inhabitants
of a country. An armistice begins and
! ends at certain hours and is not bindin
beyond that time. A commanding officer
Is also authorized to agree to the terms Of
a capitulation and he may accept an un.
conditional surrender. Further condi.
lions providing for the protection of the
lnhabitants. etc.. may be inserted, but 6

A BACHELORS

I, Paul Particular, went west ate last
autumn, and when I returned It was in
company with my encumbrance.

was not a misnomer. I am ~undeniably

childhood. I grew up particular. for

country estate left me because q farmer

ranged Primrose cottage as nicely as
paint and elegant furniture could rem
der it, hired Dorcas Trim as h~ousekeeper
and Job Thrifty as gardener, and went
into town, entered into the commission
and brokerage business, and took rooms
at Easy's hotel.
My business was not wearying: ! had
a working partner, and my own capital
procured me the greater share OF the
profits n an al life. I had q sister,
but she was married and had a colony
of little encumbrafces growing up around
her, and filling nursery, hall and draw
ing-rOom with their noise; hence I went
less and less to Ellen's as the encum
brances increased, and grew more de-
monstrative of the capacity and strength
Of juvenile lungs. Primrose cottage was
twenty miles from town; and though
pleasant enough for a summers vaca-
ton, when I entertained a party of choice
guests, yet of autumns and winters, mine
host of Easy's hotel had the preference.

SHOULD HAVE A WARRANT.
Policemen Prohibited From Making
Arrests Merely on ComnIainf

Judge Scott rendered decision in the Po-
lice Court this morning in the case of Louis
Williams. coiored who was tried yesterday
on charge of assaulting Policeman James
kavanaugh. The policeman arrested VIII
hams without warrant on charges of dis
orderly conduct and assault on woman
when he had not seen either offense COM
mtted. Williams protested against being
arrested under such circumstances and in
his efforts to get away he struck the officer
couple of blows with his fist
Attorney Peyton appeared for the de-
fendant. and argued that his client could
not be convicted on the charge of assault
ing the officer, because the arrest was ille-
eai. He was willing. however. for the court
to take Williams personal bonds and end
the case. The policeman was not satisfied
with such disposition of the matter AL
though the testimony was given yesterday.
day.
Judge Scott then proceeded TO give the
policeman instructions about making ille-
gai arrests. He started out by telling him
that ne mad no right TO take man into
custody without warrant when he had not
seen the onenSe committed In view of the
circumstances under which the arrest was
made the prisoner had right to offer re-
sstance sufficient to effect his release Po-
licemen, the judge said. ought TO know their
duty In this matter. They should UNDER
stand that in cases of misdemeanor they
must have warrants when they have not
witnessed the violation. If the officers are
going to make arrests on mere COMPLAINT II
IS possible for one person to have another
locked up at any time. A person who
wants TO get even with a neighbor might
make a false report and cause an innocent
man to be locked up over night or held in
police cell all day Sunday.

SONG OF HOME.
Our own home is the sweet, sweet home,
Wherever that home may be-
Hid In the depths of the mountain,
Or down by the roaring sea.
II may stand ON the boumdiess prairie
Mid the blowing corn and wheat,
Or be but pleasant room or two
In a busy. crowded street.
But it's our home-our own dear home
And though II be plain and small,
And though we may stay In grander ones,
Our home Is the best Of all.
For there the father goes In and out
Through the busy cheerful days;
The little children talk of as.
And the darling mother prays.
Then.here's to our home where'er It be;
May the home tie meier be broke.
God bless each altar and each hearth,
God bless our own dear folk.
