War-that is, warfare between CIV
Alized nations-has its code Of etiquet,
known as the customs OF war, some OF
which are written, others tacitly agreed
to.
Obvious examples Of fighting etiquet
are the rules which protect the Red
Cross flag of the ambulance, and forbid
the use OF explosive, or, within limits,
expanding bullets. .
Nominally, a general may use any
means In his power to bring his foe to
subsection, but there Is a well defined
boundary line. A leader may cat off
his enemy's food and water supplies. He
may subject him to all the horrors of
famine and thirst; but he must not
poison his food or water.
Suppose a place is besieged and that
outside the walls are wells which the
besiegers cannot effectively hold, and
which the besieged can reach under
cover of night. The besieger would
be justified In sending parties to fill
up the wells with earth and stones, or
to destroy them with dynamite. On the
other hand. to pollute the, wells with
poison. or to throw dead animals into
them, would be an infamy.
A prisoner OF war has his rights.
He may be asked to give his parole to
promise not to escape; but he must not
be forced to give his parole, n Is not
to be punished for refusing to do so.
A prisoner on parole who attempts TO
escape Is liable to be shot, either when
escaping or II retaken alive.
An unparoled prisoner may also be
shot while in the act OF escaping; but
If recaptured 1t would be murder to
shoot him, and he should not be pun
ished for his attempt, though he may
be placed In more rigorous confinement.
A prisoner may be compelled to earn
his keep" by working at his trade, II
he has one, or by doing work for his
captors not of a purely military nature,
Thus, he may be ordered to assist in
draining the camp In which he is a
prisoner; but 1t would not be fair to
put him to building Notifications.
