EXPECTS RUSH - 10 THE NORTH

Norman Lewis, of Wenatchee, Wash, arrived in Valdez on the Ala meda and will make Alaska his home for some time to come as he declared that he will qualify for the title of sourdough. He states that the Alas ka railroad is the absorbing topic of conversation in Washington state and that the general impression prevails that Valdez stands more than an ev- en chance of being selected as the ocean terminal of the trunk line. MT. Lewis expects to see big rush to Alaska next summer when the rail road activities begin.

SIEGE OF PRZEMYsL.

The defence of Przemysl, in length of time, may now be compared with that of Port Arthur. The Japanese operations against Port Arthur lasted about seven months, from June 1, when Nogi's troops began their dis embarkment, to the end of the year
 The first two months, however, were consumed in heavy fighting along in
 trenched lines in front of the fortress
 It was only in the last days of July that General Stoessel retired within the inner works. If we count the actual siege as having lasted five months, that would be very nearly the period since the Russians began the investment of Przemysl in the last days of September. There, how
 ever, the parallel ends. Port Arthur was not so we'll equipped for siege as Przemysl. In fortress warfare the Austrians have long been expert, and their heavy artillery is of the very best; indeed, there are observers who even now assert that the AZ KrupI gun is myth, and that Liege, Namur and Maubeuge fell before the Austri
 an 12-inch guns. A second point oi difference is that the Russians
 though they have cut off Przemysl
 have not been at liberty to proceed undisturbed with the reduction of the fortress. Once, in the early part ol October. the siege was broken by the general retirement of the Russian

HAGUE RULES CUT NO FIGURE

N As early as last September it was < predicted that The Hague rules would { not apply in the present European X war after the entry into the conflict x of any nation that had not signed < them. It was explained that The 2 Hague agreement recognized that it ( would be unfair to expect one side s to observe certain rules of warfare when it's enemy included one or more < nations not so bound. In explaining E that the rule was "one out, all out, " Fit was quoted at that time from The Hague agreement that these provis- 5 ions shall cease to be binding from the instant at which in a war between the contracting powers non-con- tracting power shall be associated with one of the belligerents."
 { It seems important to recall these statements because there continue to come from sources that should know better, frequent indications of a be- lief that the United States, under Tho Hague rules, should step into first one controversy then another to see that the conference agreements are obey ed. Some of these suggestions have been made with the sanction of Flu ropean governments.
 For all persons who thus would embroil the United States it is worth emphasizing that The Hague rules are declared off because they were not ratified by all the nations now engag- ed in the war. Specifically for in stance, dum-dum bullets can be fired by any belligerent that so desires, and no one can rightly protest under The Hague agreements.
 Since the article on the subject was printed, the World Peace Foundation, under date of November 1, 1914, has issued from it's Boston office "Tke Record of The Hague" which con- tains the following beneath the sub title, "The Conventions and the War"
 "The conventions signed in 1907 are not legally binding for the course of the European war by reason of in complete ratification. Of the belli2- erents, Montenegro, Servia and Tur- key have ratified none of these con- ventions. The declarations prohibit ing the use of projectiles having as their sole object the diffusion of as phyXiating or deleterious gases and prohibiting the use of bullets which expand or flatten easily in the human body (dum-dums), signed in 1899 and ratified by all the belligerents except Turkey, were in force until the Otto- man empire entered the war"
 If the Peace Foundation which, of course, would be the staunchest in support, now admits that The Hague rules are but scraps of paper for the waste basket, why is it that others cannot leave them out of the argu- ment?-Ex.
