A compound international treaty
was entered into. known as the treaty
of Geneva for the aid Of the sick and
wounded of armies. The first clause
of this remarkable document OF ten
articles strikes the keynote OF all that
was sought. by declaring neutra! all
persons disabled on 4 field. all persons
properly authorized to care for them.
as surgeons, chaplains. attendants. all
materials sent or designed for the
nse OF the wounded in hospitals and
the hospitals themselves. Wounded
prisoners were to be given up II de-
sired: the sick and wounded were TO
be taken cage Of regardless OF na-
t;onality, friend and foe receiving the
same care from all brlligcrents. A
sign was created by which all persons
engaged in the relief Of the wounded
of either army might be known. All
material. as food. clothing and vehi-
cles. having this sign. should be sacred
from capture. One flag bearing this
sign was instituted for ail military
hospitals and all hospitals flying that
flag should be held sacred from at
tack.

II will be recalled that although or
ficially invited to every conference the
United States was too sadly occupied
to give attention to anything on; eide
itself. until the close OF our civil war.
Then it was too worn. tired and glad
of the end of war to ever want to hear
of it again. Thus it happened that
when Dr. Henry W. Bellows. the great
apostle OF war relief. and president
of our sanitary commission. having
come in contact with the Red Cross at
the Paris exposition in 1868. and per-
ceiving it's great utility. undertook to
interest the American people and in-
duce the government to unite with the
treaty and actually formed society.
failed both with government and peo-
pie. was compelled to abandon his so
ciety and relinquish his efforts. For
eign nations regretted this and con-
tinued their efforts to interest Amer
lea. At length. in 1877. a second effort
was made. during the administration
of President Hayes. and continued sue
cessively through term OF hve years
In 1882, during the administration or
President Arthur. following out the
EXPRESSED desires of his lamented
predecessor, Garfield. and the advices
of his cabinet. the treaty was adopted
by our government.

That conference of 1869 accom-
plished prodieies of successful labor
within a wear. 1t drew into its com
pact the concurrence Of two-thirdS OF
the important countries N turop+
which proceeded to establish ad or
central societies for relief in war: as.
for instance. Austria. Spain. France.
Great Britain. the Netherlands, Prus
STA. six German states. Sweden. swift
Zerland, Italy. Portugal and Denmark.
Although thorough advocates. these
societies were merely slngie-handeh
and national. each ready to act with
all humanity and generosity TO TREND
and foe: but there was no bond be-
tween them: internationally they had
no existence The established laws Oh
war held it's impenetrable mantle over
them and internationally there was no
link between these civil aid societies
and the military of even their own
countries. The surgeons whom they
would send could still be captured.
their wounded could be left on the
field to suffer and die. the material
could become the spoil of the COM
queror: hospitals could be robbed and
their inmates either left destitute or
dragged off to prison, according to IN"
caprice OF the conqueror. International
law sanctioned these things.
1t was clearly. therefore. interna-
tional law that must be remedied in
this respect. This conference of 1865
bravely called for another to be held
in 1864. which should take on the char
acter of a convention, consisting eN-
clusively of delegates from the
crowned heads and rulers OF the world
the makers of war-armed with
treaty powers. regarding the conduct
of armies in the field and the treat
ment Of sick and wounded soldiers
This convention was held at Geneva

CHORUS:

Take me back to Bingen. dear old Bingen
on the Rhine!
There's where jolly fellowship is pledged

There is where is waiting me a maiden

She's my Bingen beauty who is all the

One moonlight summer evening she prom

About the girl he wooed that summer

Would think about that hour so far

When Jack breathed out the message
that the comrade went and gave

A Candid Judpe.

A Dover lawyer tells a story In
which figures Hon. H. l.. Dawes, who,
it seems, in his younger days was an
Indifferent speaker. Shortly after his
admission to the bar he had case
which was tried before a North Adams
justice of the peace, and Dawes was
opposed by lawyer whose eloquence
attracted a large crowd. The justice
was perspiring in the crowded room
and evidently fast losing his temper
Finally he drew off his coat and, in the
midst of the eloquent address, burst
out:

take seat and let Mr.. Dawes speak

The Supply of Gold.

Students of the problems connected
with the cost of living" will be inter-
ested by the figures furnished by the
City National Bank of New York con-
corning the production of gold. One
of the prime factors in the cost OF
things is. of course, the volume of
money in the world. The purchasing
power of a dollar decreases as the
total supply of dollars increases.
The New York bank. in a circular
issued the first of this month. esti-
mates the gold production of 1909 at
s450.OO0,000. and predicts that the
output of gold will be $500 600, 600
annually by 1912.
In the days of free silver agitation
the limited supply of gold in the
world. and the consequent low prices
of all commodities. furnished the chief
argument for free coinage. And in
one respect Mr.. Bryan was right
his 'quantitative theory" of money
was sound, even if the money he pro-
posed was unsOund. But since the
days of 1896 the supply of gold has
increased ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the
dreams of the most optimistic men of
fifteen years ago.
Nor is there any reason to fear
that the production Of gold will fall
off in the near future. The South
African mines admit of much deeper
working. as the heat does not inter-
fere in these as in mines elsewhere.
Russia has a vast gold territory. the
development of which has scarcely
begun. The same is true to con-
siderable extent Of Turkey. China, i'm
the opinion of men capable OF judg-
ing. will. before many years. add
largely to the worlds gold supply.
1t is estimated that from 1892 to
1881 the worlds gold production was
s6.sO5. 033. 900. and that between 1881
and 1905, inclusive, it was 5000
5000. or about sssO,OOO,OOO less in
the last twenty-seven years than in
all the previous time since Columbus
came over here and discovered us.
Ii is assumed that about 45 per
cent of all the gold that is mined is
and this steady increase of
the gold supply has a direct bearing
on the cost of the necessaries OF life
