CIVILIANS HAD NO
I. ~. right TO RESIST

London. Nov. little fate which
befell Belgian civilians who attack
ed invading Germans has raised &
question concerning the right of the
population of an invaded country to
rise against the enemy.
An analysis of laws on this sub
ject adopted at the conventions at
The Hague leads the Law Journal to
the conclusion that there is nothing
in these regulations which would con-
fer on the Belgians the right to re-
sist. unless their resistance were the
work Of men who could be recognized
by the Invaders as armed forces.
One section of these rules stipu-
lates That "the population of an I'M.
occupied country, which. on the APP
proach of an enemy, takes up arms
spontaneously to resist the invading
force, without having had time to or
ganize itself conformably to the arti-
Gle about the organization of volul-
teer and militia corps, will be treated
as balligerents if it carries arms OPP
emily and. respects the laws and Gus
toms of war, This means. says the
Law Journal, that those who resist
the invaders will not be protected if
they make attacks from the shelter
of houses and buildings when once
a town has been occupied. They
may meet the foe in the >ope1 with
whatever arms they can muster.
The British delegate at The Hague
conference Of 1899 proposed that the
rules be modified to give larger rights
of resistance to unorganized masses,
but the plan failed of adoption.

DETENTION HOME up.
County Commissioners Need Light on
Financial Aspects.

The question of a detention home
for Shawnee county, brought to i'm
mediate consideration by the case Of
Mary Turner. the girl who is being
quartered at the Throop hotel because
the law prohibits her being held at
the county Jail pending FER examina-
ton in the Juvenile court. was up be-
fore the board of county commission
ers this afternoon.
The commissioners wanted Judge
Hugh Mcfarland OF the juvenile court
to present his views in favor of the
establishment of the proposed home,
but he was busy most of the afternoon
with a trial in the probate court.
Absence OF finances that might be
available for the establishment of "a
home suitable for the care of delip-
Quent or dependent children, was the
principal obstacle in the path of the
commissioners today
The prospect this afternoon was that
the matter would go over until a later
meeting when Mcfarland. who has con-
Quoted some special investigations, would
be asked to make his Recommendations.

vice. without taking into account Great
Britain's European contingent.
AS to the army, Japan has a homo
geneous force, commanded by her own
officers. with a large number of men
that have seen service fighting in the
Russo-Japanese war. India has an
army OF her own men commanded by
British officers. In potential numerical
strength there can be but little diff
ference in the two armies. but in effec-
tive fighting the unified national spirit
Of the Japanese should make them SUI
peror to the mixed army OF India. In
naval strength Japan leads. Among
the people Of China. Siam, Persia, Tibet
and the smaller Asiatic states, Japan
has the prestige of having defeated
Russia and declared war on Germany.
Too much importance can scarcely be
given to the new hopes of Asia which
have been directly traceable to the de-
feat of Russia by Japan. In a COM
parison of prestige among Asiatic peo-
pies, as also in military and naval
strength there is no doubt IN my mind
that the Leadership has now passed to-
Japan. -

BIG LABOR PROBLEM.
Distribution of Harvest Hands Dis
cussed at Kansas City Today.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. PLANS for
a more thorough distribution of har-
vest hands in the grain growing
states of the Missouri valley were dis
cussed at a conference begun here late
today under the auspices of the Unit
ed States commission of industrial re-
latiOns.
w. G. Ashton. assistant labor COM
missioner of Oklahoma and labor
commissioner-elect who proposed the
conference. pointed out that there are
enough harvest hands to go around if
properly distributed. He asserted
that the harvest starts in Texas usu-
ally about June 5 and by ten day in
tervals moves north through Okla
homa. Kansas, Missouri. Nebraska,
the Dakotas and Minnesota.
Carl Vrooman, assistant to the Sec
rotary of the United States depart

of the Industrial relations commission
and the bureau of immigration were
in attendance as were about fifty
state labor commissioners, mayors

tives of commercial organizations

HEGEMoNY OF THE FAR EAST.

HEGEMONY OF THE FAX EAST.
The stirring events now transpiring in
Europe should not be allowed to divert
the entire attention of the world from
the changes which the present war will
make in the Far East. writes John C..
Ferguson in the North American Re-
view. Up to the outbreak of hostilities
this summer a comparison of the inter-
ests of Europe and America in Asia
would have shown the relative supe-
riority of Great Britain. Even in COM
parison with Japan, Great Britain could
rightly claim a preponderating influ-
ence in Asia. Is this likely to be main
tanned, or is the hegemony to pass into
other hands?
The most influential factor in de-
teimining for the immediate future the
hegemony Of the Far East is the COM
parative military and naval strength of
the two nations. and here Japan has
everything in her favor. Europe will
call for all the military and naval
equipment which Great Britain can
command and will leave no surplus
which could strengthen her present
forces in the Far East. The comparison
must therefore be made between Japan
ana the forces Of Great Britain as they
are now actually in Far Eastern SER

MADE TO YIELD
For First Time Berlin Con.
fesses to Giving Ground.
Compelled to Abandon Position
at Vernelles, France.

New York, Dec 7.-Simultaneou
with Field Marshal Won Hindenberg' 5
victory at LODI, Berlin makes the first
official announcement Of the war since
the battle of the Marine that the Gar
mans have been compelled to abandon
a French position. The German
evacuation of Vernelles. between Lille
and Arras, thus may turn out to pos
sess much greater significance than
the defeat of the Russians in Poland.
The two operations. SO removed from
each other by the. width of Europe,
are closely related. There seems no
doubt that the Russian victory has
been won on the troops withdrawn
from Belgium and France It appears
evident, too, that the allies are more
nearly on an equality with the German
strength in the west than at any time
since the war began. Nevertheless, to
predict from this change in the stu
alton that the Germans soon will be out
of western France and Belgium would
be hazardous. The future situation in
the west depends upon conditions in
Russia.

ADDS 1000 YEARS
Tablets From Nippur Throw
Light ON Worlds History.
A Babylon Story of the Flood
Discovered.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. although
more than a year ago it was an
nOunced that DR.. Arne Pobel had
found at the University Museum Sum-
merian tablets from Nippur which
gave the Oldest known accounts for
the creation and the flood, he gave
few details as he wished to deal with
the subject Complementary in a vol
ume which ne was preparing.
His book appears today and con-
tains this earliest account of the crea-
ton and the flood and other historical
documents in which he has found
new lists of kings of Babylon. which
clear up missing dynasties and add
more than a thousand years to /
corded history.
DR.. Pobel's tablet is estimated to
have been written in the reign of
Hamurabi (about 1850 B. CD or about
the time of Abraham. According to its
text, men were created by four OF the
major dieties in order that they
should worship the deities who liked
this form of adulatiOn. Apparently
men had not been giving sufficient
obeisance to the gods, for they became
angry and determined to destroy them
by a flood. Ten kings had now
and the tenth king was Ziugiddu, a
pious man just as Noah. the tenth
patriarch was a pious man.
A definite time is given from the
flood to n period that is historical and
the date of which is pretty accurately
estimated. Computations make this
present year the 36.539th since the
flood and the 46S.539th since the
creation,

Oscar saw in front Of him a man wear

low before Oscar and said: You are

man disappeared as he finished speaking

Just why the American troops were
sent to Vera Cruz and why they were
withdrawn at this time is a military
mystery on which many people would
be pleased to obtain 4. little enlighten-
ment from the wiseacres at Washing
ton. But a more inexplicable mystery
Of this sort concerns why American
troops are stationed on the border
line between Arizona and Mexico.
They seem to be of no service there
whatever unless it be as easy targets
for the stray bullets that float across
the line from the Intermittent engage
ments between the belligerents on the
Mexican side of it. So Tar fourteen
of these troopers have been more or
less seriously injured in this fashion.
Civilians have received the same
medicine in larger doses. But with
the civilians the situation is q little
different Nothing but their own in
clinations keep them In this danger
zone. They are free to get out Of it
IL they choose to leave their business
and their homes. But the United
States soldiers cannot do this. They
are stationed there under orders And
no matter how much they are batter
ed up by bullets and shells they can
make no reprisals What's the reason
that they are exposed to death and
injury in this fashion?
