INTERNATIONAL LAW HAS
SOME FINE POINTS

John Bassett Moore is regarded
as the greatest living authority on
international law. He was until re-
Gently the chief advisor of the
United States department of state.
In a published work, Moore de-
fines such an action as the recent
landing of the marines at Vera
Cruz as "a forcible measure falling
short of war;" but says the coun-
try against which it is taken may
choose to regar! it as tantamount
to war.
1t appears also that international
law recognizes such a thing as
making war on a ruler as distin-
guished from the people he gov.
erns.
Such a condition existed, at least
on paper, when the European allies
made war against Napoleon in
1915, at the same time taking pains
to declare they were not warning
on the people Of France.
In that case President Wilson
may be said TO have a good histori-
cal precedent for his declaration
that the United States has no griev-
ance against the people of the Mex
leo hut only against General Huer-
ia, whom he regards as not their
rightful president, but simply as a
usurper.
Our constitution gives congress
the sole right to declare war. But
it is easy to see that the President
as, commander-in-chief Of the army
and navy. and head Of the execu-
tive department of the government,
may at any time bring about a con-
dition of war by acts of q hostile
nature.
In fact, most modern wars begin
without formal declaration, as in
the case of Japan and Russia. The
attack is likely to come first and
the declaration later. -Sacramento

NEVADA is AN EMPIRE

That Nevada is an empire in ex-
tent of territory and variety Of eli.
mate and products. is emphasized
by a trip from Las Vegss to Car
son City or Reno at this time of
the year. Leaving Las Vegas in
summer garb one dons heavy un-
derwear and w1rm clothing at Gold
field and arriving at Reno finds a
big overcoat comfortable in the
evening. Although fruit trees
blossomed long ago and the fruits
sre nearly half grown in Clark
county, the apple trees r just in
bloom now in the northern valleys.
In the Vegas valley alfalfa cutting
has been going on since April 9Th.
In the Carson valley it as net yet
started to grow. Near Las Vegas
are fields in which the wheat stands
from 3 to 3 feet high and is all
headed out. In the north in some
fields the grain is just showing
through the ground, while in others
the ground is just being prepared.
To the editor of the Age sill the
differences seem to be decidedly
in favor of Clark county.
The above is copied from the
current issue Of the Las Vegas Age.
In the same issue there is given a
weather report for the week ending
A5riI 90 from which it is noted the
maximum temperature during the

EVOLUTION OF
SEVENlY.SIX YEARS

The first ste amship to reach the
United States from across the At
lantic was the Sirius. She arrived
in New York, April 22d, 1888 Just
seventy-six years ago. The Savan-
nah sailed from Savannah to Eu-
rope in 1919 but she was much
more of a sail than a steam vessel,
but the Sirius depended upon her
engines to make the trip. She was
a Lieth-huilt schooner-rigged craft
of 4l2 tons, It's feet long over all
with a 25.foot beam and Is feet
depth of hold. She sailed from
London, March Is and worked
around to Cork, Ireland. She sail
ed from Cork, April Bird and so
was ninteen days on the voyage.
She came over in an almr st con-
tinuous storm, got out of coal. had
TO hum resin mixed with coal dust
and also her spare spars and ship
furniture aud barely made the trip.
The Sirius male one more voyage
and was then put on the Irish
ross.rhannel service and in lSI7
in n fog ran upon the rocks in Bal
lrcotten bay and was lost with
mang of her passengers. About the
same time her first captain, Rob-
crts, was lost with the steamer
President.
Could the Sirius be r~csurrected
and rehabilitated and anchored be-
side the Lusitauia or the Maure-
tania, the evol Ition of British ships
in seventy-six years would be fully
see and would make q striking
picture. On the one side n little
wooden craft with paddle wheels
and the old rude sidc-level engine, on
the other the steel frame 925 feet
long, the turbine engines, the 49,
600 tons burden against the 412
tons Of the Sirius, the electric
lights blazing-1 900 passengers in
lieu of the sever that came in the
Sirius. A four days voyage against
thu nineteen in 1898.
In another way the contrast
would show the evolution O: those
years il ocean commerce; indeed OF
the worlds trade-morP advance
in those sevonty-six years than in
all the rolling centuries since the
little Tyrian ships began TO cross
the Mediterranean. 1t has been
made possible by the steam engine,
supplemented by the electric light
and power. The telegraph, too,
has been a mighty factor, and now
