JAP AN'S ALLIANCE
With Great Britain and Ultima
tum to German Adds Inter-
est to Russian Attitude on
Japs' Invasion of Colony

Toxic, Aug. 30,--Japans alliance
with Great Britain, and her ultimatum
to Germany. making her appear indi-
rectly as an ally of Russia in the
European war, lends keen signifi-
canoe to an interview with General
Hunterherger, former governor general
of the Russian Maritime Provinces,
which appeared recently in the Rus
sian Fisheries and Trade Review"
published at Hakodate. 1t immedi-
ately brought up an active discussion
of hte Russo Japanese relations.
In the event of war breaking out
on the European frontiers. he said.
Russia would be prepared to face the
invasion of Japanese troops over her
Eastern frontiers. At any cost, he ar
gued, defensive preparations in the
East must be equal to those of the
West.
While he thought Russians should
refrain from an aggressive policy, he
declared that If Japan continued her
economic invasion of Manehuria,
which had already reached the FROM
tier of the Russian zone influence, ia
pan and Russia We're liable to come in
to collision sooner or later in Man
churia. He believed that peace be-
tween the two countries would only
be strengthened by keeping their
armaments on an equal footing.
He estimated that the population of
Russia would reach more than 300,-
100000 in another so years, The only
outlet of the increased population was
Siberia and other Asiatic territories.
Their prospective competitors were the
yellow races, whose migration into
these maritime provinces at present
was far greater than that of Russian
immigrants. The Russian authorities
were well advised to put heavy re-
strictions on the inflow of yellow peo-
pies.
1t was a mistake, he argued, that the
law of exclusion applying to Chinese
should not also include Koreans. The
idea that Koreans would easily assim-
ulate was false. Forming their own
villages wherever they went, they kept
firmly to their old customs and ways,
and We're more formidable as future
rivals to Russian immigrants than
Chinese, who were only merchants or
laborers whose settlement in these
provinces were temporary,
The Japanese had invested an enor-
nous sum of money in ornaments
with an eve TO assuming the highest
place in Far Eastern politics. he. said,
and it was natural that the japanese
should demand an adequate return for
the capital invested, but he foresaw
that their forward move might mean
danger. For that reason he argued
that the repletion of Russian arma-
ment in the East should not be me-
elected for moment.
He concluded: 1T cannot be too
much emphasized that the Russian
army In the East should be strong to
hold its ground against the move on
ward of Japan, which is steadily pre-
! pairing against possible emergencies"

RULES that GOVERN WARFARE

Civilized warfare is conducted by
rules which curb the warning nations
frenzy for gore much as the Marquis of
Queensberry rules restrain the battlers
in the squared circle. Agreements
made in the convention at The Hague
in July, 1899, govern the methods of
procedure leading up to a declaration
of war and in the conduct of war it
self Following are some of these pro-
visions:
War must not be started until fair
warning has been given previously.
This warning may take the form either
of declaration of war or of an ulti-
matum with conditional declaration of
war.
Neutral Powers shall be notified of
the state of war Immediately after
declaration. The state of war shall not
take effect In regard to neutral Pow
ers until they have been notified.
| What Declaration Means
| The declaration of war suspends or
abrogates all treaties between the con-
i tending nations and suspends all non
/ hostile actions between them.
| The theory of war asserts that the
subjects of inimical states are enemies
! Private property must not be modest
ed An army of occupation can take
only the property directly belonging to
the state with which it Is at war. Even
though state property, religious, edu-
cational. charitable and scientific in
situations are not to be molested.
A territory is occupied when. because
of an invasion by the enemy, the state
to which 1t belongs has ceased to exer-
else its ordinary authority within II
and the invaders alone are in a posi-
ton to maintain order.
Some Warfare Don'ts
Many don'ts relating to land warfare
were drawn up in The Hague conven-
ton, as follows:
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-08-31

Don't use poisoned weapons.
Don't kill or wound treacherously.
Don't declare there will be no quar-
ter.
Don't wound or kill an enemy who
has surrendered.
Don't employ the flag of truce Inn
properly.
Don't use weapons which will cause
unnecessary suffering.
Don't destroy property unless abso-
Iutely necessary.
belligerent must not force ma
tionals of the hostile nation to take
part in the operations against their
own country.
Prisoners Of War
A prisoner of war is public enemy
n the hostile army who has been cap
tured either by fighting on the field OIL
n the hospital by individual surrender
Prisoners of war are to be confined
only when their confinement is a nee.
essary measure of safety.
Citizens who accompany an army al
suffers. reporters. contractors, etc.
may be made prisoners of war and de.
tanned as such.
The capturing state may use the
services of prisoners of war accord
ing to their aptitude, but officers are
excepted.
Exchange of prisoners is voluntary.
Prisoners may be released on parole
Cartels are agreements made to reg,
ulate intercourse in war time Posta
land Geographic communications, re-
eeption of truce flags and exchange o.
prisoners may be regulated thus.
A capitulation is an agreement de
filming the conditions of surrender o.
forces or districts in an officers com
mand
War may be brought to an end b,
conquest or submission of one of thu
contending nations, by the cessation o.
hostilities or by a treaty of peace.

Bromberg, with six infantry battalions,
one mounted grenadier. regiment and
two field artillery regiments, and
Graudenz, which has nine infantry
battalions. regiment Of mounted

Other small fortified places on the
line of advance are Marienburg, with
a small garrison of artillery, which
was formerly fortress of the knights
Templars; Culm. with a garrison of
one rife regiment and a machine gun
section; Dirschau, a small place, which

The incursion of large bodies of
Russian troops into the German prov
inces of East and West Prussia and
their capture of the important posi-
lions of Gumbinnen and Insterburg
bring them in front of a series of more
or less strongly fortified German cities,
placed stragetically to the east of the
River vistula and between it and the
frontier.
Among these fortresses one of the
first in importance is Koenigsburg, on
the Gulf of Danzig, a fortress of the
first class. The city contains about
two hundred thousand inhabitants and
was formerly Polish possession. The
garrison, in times of peace comprises
three infantry regiments of three bat
talions each, heavy cavalry regiment,
a squadron of mounted rifles, two field
artillery regiments, one garrison artil-
lery regiment, two engineer battalions
and one battalion of the army service
corps.

built next year.
The best road from Bangor to Houl-
