IL no law governing the use Of aeroplsnes
and dirigibles in the present war. Any
thing which can be done to harass the
enemy is permissible, and IT seems
highly probable that sooner or later the

be heard from. II Is noticeable, however,
that UP to the present aviators have had
practically no part in the hostilites.
In the matter OF wireless teiegraphy
some international rules have also been
adopted, but they are not OF much i'm

how they could ever be enforced. The
chief provision is that any neutral country
may order belligerent countries to cease

CAN'T MAKE WARS HUMANE
One Popular Belief that Has Been
Thoroughly Discredited.
DEVICES FOR DESTRUCTION
slight wounds JIeaI Readily, hut
the Really severe wounds Made
by Modern weapons Are More
Dangerous Than Ever.

A pleasant fiction widely credited Is
that men have been studying for years to
make war more humane-as II war could
be humane.
For example one Of these humane"
devices is the small bullet at high We
locity. Stories are told Of men who, after
being shot through the chest or head
with a modern bullet. about the diam eter
Of small lead pencil, have walked long
distances to the field hospital and have
then recovered in a miraculously short
time
This is not true. and that military sur
geons who have seen actual service know
that really slight wounds made by mod
ern bullets heal more quickly and thor
oughly than those made by the old round
leaden bullets. But severe wounds are
no less severe, and are much more fire.

and sharper than the German bullet
Bent by ricocheting II often enters the
body as a hook; sometimes IL "tumbles"
and enters broadsde on. making a long,
gaping wound.
These humane" bullets have three gem
eral effects: Up 20 range OF 800 yards
they have an explosive effect, splintering
the bone so thoroughly as to explain the
frequent accusation that explosive bullets
have been used; at ranges Of 800 to 1 500
yards the effect is terrible, grinding the
bone to powder. and often carrying with
It into the wound fragments OF soiled
clothing, thus causing infection.
The third effect Is contusive. a modern
bullet fired into an empty metal vessel
enters and leaves by a small hole, Fill
the vessel with water and the bullet will
enter by a small hole, but will make
large, Jagged hole in leaving. The bullet
has exactly the same effect on the body
or the head. In any case the bullet
strikes heavy blow as with a club
As Compared with shells.
Modern bullets are humane" only when
compared with the effects OF shells, and
Il must be remembered that a far greater
proportion OF casualties are due to shells
