JAPAN FOR
NOT DECLARING WAR

PARIS, Feb. Eff. De Martens, professor
Of international law at the University Of
st. Petersburg. who represented Russia at
the peace conference at The Hague, has,
as a member of the Institute of France,
made public a letter written apparently for
the French republic.
I'm view of the facts" Professor De Mar
tens writes, cit is impossible to assert that
the failure of Japan to declare war was not
a maneuver of bad faith. 1t was premedi-
tated for a long time and execut-
ed without scruple. 1t consequently
appears to me impossible to find that Japan
acted correctly, in the light of the usages
adopted by the civilized nations of Europe
and America. In any event, the conduct Of
Japan has wounded the Russian nation
deeply and l do not know how many gem
eratiOns must pass before this deep wound
can be healed"

BURLINGTON CUTS THE
SUGAR RATES 2 CENTS
Belief Is that This Road Is Going
Into a Rate War Against
the Great Western.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Officials of the Bur-
lington Railroad to-day announced a rate on
sugar from Chicago to the Missouri river Of
cents less than the cut-rate put in effect
by the Great Western. 1t is understood
the new rate will be 10 cents a hundred
pounds from Chicago to the Missouri river
5 cents from the Mississippi river to the
Missouri river and cents from Chicago to
St. Paul and Minneapolis. The old rates
on sugar were 81 cents from Chicago to the
Missouri river, % cents from the Mississippi
to the Missouri and Ia cents from Chicago
to st. Paul. The Great Western had made
no reduction in the rate from Chicago to
st. Paul and the 80 per cent. cut in the ST.
Paul rate by the Burlington is taken as an
indication that the Burlington will become
more aggressive in the prevailing war of
rates.
