INTERNATIONAL LAW HAS
SOME FINE POINTS

John Bassett Moore is regarded
as the greatest living authority ON
international law. He vas 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 regard 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.
ems.
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 h~istori-
cal precedent for his declaration
that the United States has no griev-
n - TsE--.=. -
ance against the people of the Mex
leo but 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, commandments of the army
and navy. and head Of the e&ecu-
tive department of the government,
may at any time bring about a con-
dillon of war by acts of a 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 ater.-Sacramento

HIS OWN MEDICINE


Lincoln IA pestered constantly
by people with military devices of
one sort or another which were
guaranteed to put down the Rebel
lion in short order.
One day a man gained admit.ance
who @as excessively voluble in
praise of a "bullet-proof coat" q
sample of which he displ aged and
which he warranted to render sold
iery practically immune to mus.
kerry fire.
"All right" Said the president
suddenly, "Put it on"
"Put it on? What for?" falter-
ed the prom ter.
"Why, so l can test it," said Lin
coin, taking a pistol FROM his desk.
The "Bullet-proof" agent hastily
withdrew, and the coat was never
adopted for the Army Of the Po-
tomac.

IHf Usual WAY

Somewhere we hesr a story 0bout
a little girl who one morning rid
ing down to the city in her fathers
carriage, and she saw a poor little
girl by the side Of the road: aud
when she was going to bed that
night and knelt down to say her
prayers, this is what she said: "Oh,
Lord, as l was riding down the
avenue this morning in our carriage
and Thou knoHest, Lord, that we
have a footman and p coachulan as
WE'LL happened to see a little
girl. Her hair looked like it had
not been combed for a long time,,
and she had nc shoes or stockings
on her feet, and her dress was very
dirry and torn and she was alto
gether a very misunderstanding
little girl; but that is not any of
u business, Lord, is it? Amen.
