General Balashon, the head of the
Red Cross Society at Port Arthur sent
{ TO the Associated Press on the torpedo
destroyer Rastoropny personal letter
charging the Japanese with violation
OF the rules of civilized warfare. Ow-
ing to an error the letter of General
Balashoff was not delivered until to-
day.
General Balashoff requests the pub
lication of the charges that the Japan
ese deliberately disregarded the obli-
cation of the Geneva and The Hague
conventions. He says that they have
compelled the abandonment by the
Russians of three plainly marked hos.
pital ships, and that the wounded
aboard the half-sunken steamer An
dara also had to be removed. These
ships, says General Balashoff, were
anchored where they did not interfere
with the Japanese fire against the
Russian war ships. He further says
that the Japanese, who use balloons to
direct their fire and who drop their
shells with minute accuracy into the
harbor, cannot mistake the hospital
ships, and he charges that they de-
liberately drive the wounded from the
ships for the purpose of sinking the
vessels.

NEW LAW MAY BE INVALID.
Biennial Elections Amendment Has
Serious Flaw.

Special to Tlmes-Republican.
Council Bluffs, Nov. 21.-An omis-
sion has been discovered in the word
ing of the recently adopted biennial
elections amendment which may yet
prove its downfall just as the similar
amendment adopted four years ago
was found to be null and void from a
seemingly slight defect.
The Nonpareil of this city, one Of the
staunchest friends Of the biennial
election amendment. will editorially
point out the fact that the amendment
submitted at the last election does not
in single direct or indirect statement
designate that the amendment is to be
the constitution Of the state of Iowa,
or the constitution of Siam, for that
matter.
The companion amendment on ap-
portionment definitely states that 1t IS
to repeal certain sections of the Con
stitution of the state Of Iowa." but the
biennial elections amendment neither
in its preamble question nor in the
body of the section states what "con-
stitution" it is supposed to amend.
What effect, If any, this omission will
have on the legality of the amendment
may be for the courts to determine, but
it has already aroused considerable
interest here in view of the ease with
which the former Titus amendment
was declared illegal
Both the constitutional amendments
submitted at the last election were
prefaced with this question::
Shall the following amendment to
the constitution Ono mention here Of
what constitution) be adopted"
Next following in the apportionment
proposition was this statement:
THAT sections thirty-four (34),
thirty five $3.50 and thirty-six $3.50 OF
articles three (3) Of the constitution
OF THE STATE OF IOWA be repealed
and the following be adopted in lieu
thereof"
(Then follows the amendment it.
self.)
In the elections amendment this
was the corresponding statement:
add as section 16, to article IL, OF
THE CONSTITUTION the following" /"
(Then follows the amendment itself.)
Nowhere in the language of the
whole proposition occurs the word
Iowa" Nor is the constitution un-
der consideration designated as that
of Iowa in the auditors certificate in
the official publication of the ballot.
