Now Owns $50 Acres Of Colorado Ir

Hutchinson, Kan, May 5-One
woman from Kansas has proved in
Colorado to possess the true pioneer
spirit. You call it pluck when a girl
alone and unaided goes into a new
and practically unsettled part of the
country, takes up a homestead, spends
the summer toiling on the farm and
winter working in the city to save
every possible penny and stays with it.
That is what Mrs. Alice Campbell
Smith, a former Hutchinson girl, has
done out in eastern Colorado. And
today her courage IL rewarded, for
she owns 800 acres of fine land near
Ramah, Colo. equipped with barns
and all necessary improvements.

SUBMARINE MINES
BY FORD H. MAC GREGOR
Chief Municipal Reference Bureau University of Wisconsin

mines are legitimate and effective
weapons for defense, but are an intol-
cradle menace to neutral shipping and
commerce when merely set adrlft to
destroy any vessel that may come In
contact with them.
The great damage done to neutral
ships, which resulted from the use of
floating contact mines In the Russo
japanese war led to an attempt to
limit and regulate their use by The
HAGUE conference. Because they are
such formidable weapons, however,
the nations have been loath to bind
themselves too closely, and the present
regulations are quite unsatisfactory.
Submarine mines may be laid in the
ouCmys territorial waters and IN wat
ors within the region of war, but the
common law of nations forbids lay
ing them in neutral waters. The con-
vention signed at The Hague forbids
the LAYING Of unanchOred mines un-
less they are so constructed as to be-
come useless within an hour after they
are laid, and of anchored mines unless
they become harmless whenever they
break loose from their mooriugs. The
same convention forbids the use Of
torpedoes which do not become harm
less when they have missed their
mark. Submarine mines may not he
laid for the sole purpose OF intercept
ing commercial navigation. The In
stitute of International Law In 1910
also agreed on the prohibition of both
anchored and drifting mines on the
high seas Extract from University

Submarine mines are among the
most fearful weapons of modern naval
warfare. They were first used by the
south in the civil war to destroy
northern ships hlockading southern
ports. and proved to be terribly eff
cicnt instruments ot destruction. No
less than % northern vessels were de
stroycd by them. Since thcn mucn
inventive ingenuity has been devoted
to their perfection.
They were used on large scale by
both sides in the Russo japanese war
and resulted I'm the destruction Of a
great many innocent neutral vessels.
The Chinese delegate TO The Hague
conference In 1907 declared that from
five hundred to six hundred of his
countrymen engaged I'm peaceful oc-
cupations had met their death from
these dangerous explosives. and that
his government still had TO furnish
coasted vessels with special apparatus
to raise and destroy floating mines
which were set adrltt during tha'
war.

RAISING SPECIAL FUND
FOR indian SOLDIERS
FOR THE TROOPS FROM
THE EAST

Correspondence Of The Associated pre,sj
LONDON, Oct. 23.-Earl Roberts is
raising a fund which will be devoted
exclusively to the use Of the Indian
forces in the present war. Already
he has received Sg50,0O0 and within
two weeks he hopes TO have enough
money to equip "A special hospital in
the south of England for the care OF
the sick and wounded Indian soldiers.
The fund will also be used to pro-
vide warm clothing especially suited
to the Indian troops. Ratons of tho
English army are wholly unlike tho
customary diet of the Indians, and
special dishes will be provided for
them out of the fund. Indians are
especially fond of sugar. spices and all
sorts of sweets.
Princess Mary and her advisers are
making special preparations to send
the Indians Christmas gifts which
will especially appeal to them. 1t is
likely the gifts will take the form OF
boxes of candies and other sweet
meats particularly relished by the
men from the far east.
