PRISONERS OF WAR.
Code of Honor by Which Their Treat
 ment Is Governed.

Code of Honor by Which Their Treat
 ment Is Governed.
 In ancient times prisoners of war were killed unless, of course, the bel ligerents found it more profitable to exchange or liberate them for ransom. But today nations are bound 10 one an other by code of honor which fOrbids inhuman treatment of prisoners.
 Prisoners are subjected to no pun. ishment in any form. Neither must they be placed in convict prison. al though they may be detained in fortress, camp or town. A reasonable supply of nourishment must be provid- ed them by their captors. and they are regarded as being in the power of the government of the captor and not un- der the control of those who actually capture them.
 All personal belongings remain in the custody of the prisoner, but arms, horses and military papers can be con- fscated, these constituting booty.
 Governments can put their prisoners of war to work, but only such work as accords with the prisoners rank and capacity; also the york must not be excessive or relate to military matters, and in all cases must the labor be paid for.
 A prisoner always lives in hope Of being exchanged for prisoner Of his own government. The exchange is ef- fected in accordance with agreements, in which time, place and method of ex' change are fully detailed. This is gen erally that of strict equivalents, man for man, rank for rank, disability for disability.
 An officer can obtain greater free dom of movement or certain privileges while being prisoner of war If he makes out parole, written or verbal promise. An officer giving his parole pledges his honor to refrain from n par ticular course of conduct, and If he makes a breach of this guarantee he IS liable to the extreme penalty.-Pear' sons Weekly.

Second Subway Accident.

New York, Sept. 25.-Another
cave-in of the street over the new
subway under co obstruction in Broad
way, near 3Sth street, occurred to-
night. Seven amIbulances were sent
to the scene. Police and firemen
were called to rescue those buried
in the excavation.
Cries for help were heard from
into the pit. A call for the oxygen
crew of the fire department was sent
in.
The scene is less than mile from
that OF similar accident which Oc-
Cured last Wednesday, when seven
persons were killed in g cave-in Of
the partly constructed subway at 7th
avenue and 25th street.
Now Taking Precautions.
New York, Sept. 26.-City and
State authorities took action ,to-day
to prevent recurrence Of last nights
subway accident, the second in four
days to result in loss of life.
The first move was an order clos
ing to vehicle and street car traffic
many sections Of the roadway and in
tersecting streets under which sub
ways are being built.
The cause Of last nights cave-in,
which resulted in the death of a wo-
man and the injury of several men,
has not been determined definitely,
but a statement by the United States
Realty and Improvement Company,
in charge of the work, said the acci-
dent was caused by a slide of rock
which the timbers could not with
stand.
The victim of the accident was
identified to-day as Madam Estelle
Tomasselli, 33 years old, Of Havana,
Cuba. She had been on a visit here.
All workmen reported missing last
night were accounted for to-day.

Cotton Condition Lower.

New York, Sept 3O.-Condition of
cotton on an average date OF Septem-
ber 23, as ascertained by over 1000
replies of special correspondents of
the Journal of Commerce, was 63.7
} per cent, as compared with 70.7 per
cent a month ago, representing de-
terioration of points. This is some
what excessive, having been exceed
ed only once in the past ten years,
when in 1907 the depreciation
amounted to IA points; in 1908 it
was points. The 1O-year average is
SO per cent deterioration. UnfaVor-
able weather conditions brought
about unusual shedding, and the
striking feature of the report is uni
rersal prediction of an extremely
short crop. A year ago at this time
condition was 1875 per cent, in 1913
it was ell per cent and in 1912 it
was 70.3 per cent.
Largely on account Of much pre-
mature opening picking is well ad-
Vanced, being 35 4 per cent gathered,
, against 33 per cent last year, 80 per
cent in 1913 and 2S.2 per cent in
1912.

Brownsville, Texas, Oct. 1.-One

moved into the Progreso district, 35
miles up the Rio Grande, at daylight
to-day. Its presence was expected to

have recently been launched into
American territory.
Gen. B. p. Nafarrate, Carranza
commander at MatamoroS, comment
ing to-day on reports in the United
States that he is unable to control
his army or is in sympathy with
raids, said he has arrested all the
MeXicans he could find suspected Of
joining in the revolutionary plot
against the United Stetas. He said
he attempted to catch Louis La Rosa
and Amiceto Piano, MeXicans, whose
names were signed to revolutionary
circulars distributed in South Texas,
but that they were gone when infor-
nation that they had been in Mata-

was requested by Col. A. p. Block

Gen. Nafarrate denied reports that
he is connected with smugglers. He
said that he had refused offers on
the Texas side urging him to condone
the smuggling Of cattle into Texas

lilies, the letter en- being suspended
from one and the letter ID" from the
other, while suspended from a large
arch at the altar were two hearts,
bordered in tiny green Scotch ivy,
which were tied with white satin
ribbons. On each side of the altar
was the banister effect Back of the
altar were banks o: ferns and smi

sounded, the doors were thrown open
and the four ushers-Joe Major and
