for a dark night to run his iugger
ashore in a cove, and then bury his
bales and barrels in the sand, has dis

and probably brings more profit than
ever, especially just now in Holland.

bringing it in.

are directed towards beating down
the shipper to as low a figure as pos

railroad cars ostensibly conveying
freight from Holland to Denmark and
from Denmark to Holland are mystic
riously uncoupled and disappear while
passing over the intervening German
territory. Dutch fishing boats, too,
are often seized of the coast by Ger

SMUGGLING FL0UR|SHES

the Dutch troops now modified are
engaged in guarding the frontiers, not
against foreigners. but against Dutch
men trying to pass contraband. 1t is
difficult, however, to guard every yard
of the border-line and if the attention
Of a sentry can be distracted for only
few minutes this gives the willy
smuggler his chance to get across
with his goods.
The Dutch soldier himself until re-
Gently a civilian, naturally dislikes
shooting at his own countrymen, even
when they are observed in the act of
ovading the law. The Government
has therefore been compelled to offer
some inducement to augment his
alertness in putting stop to this
profitable trade, whose success brings
the Government into many difficulties
with the belligerent powers, who ac-
cuse the Dutch of acts not in accord
with strict neutrality. A reward
amounting to ten per cent of the value
Of goods seized in illegal transit is now
offered to the soldiers and this has
had such effect on their watchfulness
that captures of smugglers' are be-
coming more frequent daily. On sew
eral occasions recently soldiers have
shot and killed smugglers who have
defied their summons to halt while
engaged in contraband running. One
soldier is reported to have received
$500 as his share of the reward for
stopping a large parcel of Struggled
goods just as it was about to be taken
across the border.

can be drawn up for combatants in
this sphere Of warfare, or what can
be conceded to neutrals.
These regulations must be drawn
up in the light of experience and ac-
cording to the power and influence
which different states or groups of
states can exercise Anything, how
ever, will be better than the present
loose arrangement"
The writer, turning to the interna-
tional regulations governing military
and field operations, maintains that
international rights have been ignored
by the French and English in their
treatment of enemy subjects and
enemy property in their countries.
AS to humanizing warfare, Profess
sor Ibsen has little hope of interna-
tional law being able to accomplish
much. Warfare, instead Of being
humanized," he remarks, must nee
essarily become more and more fright
full. in accordance with the ceaseless
development Of technical skill in the
provision of new and more perfect
weapons. 1t is an illusion to believe
that war can be waged in gentler fash
ion. There Is only one proposition
worth considering, and that is to see
that no occasion arises for war. This,
however. is not the work Of interna-
tional lawyers, but of politicians and
diplomats"

DEPT. C0M'D HINCKLEY TO
THE PATRIARCHS MILITANT

Frederick W. Hinckiey. brigadier-
the Military Council, Department Of
Maine, Patriarchs Militant, I. o. o. F..
has made his third and last annual
communication to the representatives
Of the Council, in which he tells some
interesting and important facts about
the condition Of the different cantons
and the order as a whole throughout
the State. He says:
Il repeat what I said last year that
it is apparent on every hand that our
branch Of the order was never in as
good condition in this department as
it is at the present time. On Jan. l,
1913, when your department command
er assumed command we had 16 can
tons, with a total membership Of I'LL.
On Jan. l, 1914, we had 10 cantons.
with a total membership Of 1907. On
Jan. /, 1915, we had q cantons. with
a net membership of 1853. At the pres
ent time We have % cantons. with a
total membership of at least 1900. Our
net gain for the year ending Jan. l,
1915, was ISL chevaliers, and for the
two years 357. In order to make net
gain of so per cent in both number of
cantons and total membership dur
ing the three years, it will be nee
essary to muster in two more cantons
and make net gain Of 1879 during this
year. Present indications are that they
will be accomplished very easily, and
it will be indeed pleasing to turn over
to my successor a department in such
an excellent condition. This condition
has been brought about by the earnest
and intelligent work Of the officers
and chevaliers throughout the entire
department, for which loyalty your
Department commander extends his
thanks.
1T will undoubtedly be of interest
to all to know that at the present time
there are only four departments COM
prising the entire army with larger
membership than the Department of
Maine, namely, New York. California
Ohio and Oregon.
Every canton in our department
with the exception of Canton Lafayette
in Rockland, is in excellent condition
and reports from the various cantons
since Jan. /, indicate that more chew
alters are being taken in this year
than at any previous period. Within
| it's next few months shall either take
the warrant from Canton Lafayette OF
have a complete reorganization of the
same. 1 have reason to believe that
! the latter can be accomplished, and be-
fore the first day of January, next
there will once more be a flourishing
canton in this city.
New cantons Mustered.
"Since our last council meeting
have mustered in Canton Bridgton, No
Is, with a warrant list of "a, and
tomorrow you will see them in the
general parade with practically every

dition. We are in hopes that this OBJ

of the year.
visited many of the cantonS on bust
ness and social occasions. during the
past year. The thing which. perhaps,
has appealed to him on these vista
lions more than anything else is the
high personnel Of the membership. We
are looking for members, but above all
we want men who in their everyday
life exemplify the cardinal principles
Of our order.
During the past year an unusually
large number Of dispensations have
been granted. From the beginning
your department commander has urged
visitations on the part Of the cantons
to lodges and encampments and has
encouraged social functions Of various
kinds. The Patriarchs Militant uni
! form in the department Of Maine has
been very much in evidence during the
past year, and we feel certain this has
been productive Of much good.
Not a single complaint has been
made to your department commander
since he first assumed Office. This
certainly speaks well for the high
moral standing Of the personnel of
the army in this department.
Recommendation Made.
THE following recommendations are
made:
Il. That a committee of three be
appointed to name the place and make
ARRANGEMENTS for our next annual
council meeting and field day.

A NON-ALCOHOuC TONIC

Many people need a tonic at this
time Of year, old folks, weak folks,
thin people, people who are rum down
from too much work-and vacation
still many weeks away. Nervous peo-
pie also need tonic but cannot safe
ly take alcohol.
A non-alcoholic tonic that will build
up the blood and strengthen the
nerves Is what most people need and
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are exactly
that.
The one symptom Of thin blood that
everybody recognizes Is pallor. Il
shows SO gradually that other people
are liable to notice it before you do.
But it is important that you should
notice and heed the warning because
the thin blood that causes the pallor
betrays some drain on the body or
some poisoning by it's own waste
materials that. If not corrected, will
result in physical breakdown and i'll
health.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills not only
build up the blood but they have a
direct strengthening action on the
nerves. As they are free from mar
cotics and any harmful or poisonous
drugs they are safe for every member
Of the family. ~

Berlin, HAY 15.-The changes hat
the present war may render necessary
in the DEGREES of the Hague conven-
ton are discussed at considerable
length in an article by Professor Sig
urd Ibsen, which is prominently pub
lished in the VossiscAe Zeitung. New
conditions and developments without
precedent in former history, says Prof.
Ibsen, must be provided for in new
regulations and treaties In naval
warfare, for example, he observes:
The right to wage war at sea
must be regulated anew. In fact, this
has never been established on firm
basis. But no one could have fore
seen that it rested on a foundation so
utterly unstable as events have proved.
There have been many attempts to
place the law for war at sea on
firm foundation. The second Hague
Convention and the London Confer
ence of 1869 drew up whole list OF
regulations in relation to sea warfare
which altogether made complete book
Of sta tutes on the subject. But the
difficulty was that many Of these reg
ulations were either rendered unwork-
able by reservations or did not gain
the force of law through failure to
obtain recognition from the govern
ments concerned. This was the fate
Of the most important volume of dec
larations, the oft-quoted London Dec
larations, and England was able very
soon without announcing any formal
breach Of the law to overstep the
boundaries Of the agreement. Nat
urally Germany went in for reprisals.
and the result is sea warfare which
stands in contradiction to almost every
international right that has so Tar
been laid down.
However uncertain the obligations
were in the past, there were certain
limitations which could not be over
stepped. But it seems that at present
there is no limitation to the claim OF
every State to do as it pleases. The
law Of contraband has received de-
velpoment which no one forsaw. The
trade and the shipping OF neutral
countries have been placed under
control which has become humiliating.
The sinking Of enemy merchant ships.
which formerly was allowed only
when unavoidable, has now become
regular practice.
This condition Of things is due to
the working Of two factors. In the
first place, sea warfare has become
a much more intensive way than here
tofore anyone could have believed, a
battle Of financial weapons, bitter
fight for the means Of existence. In
the second place the Improvement OF
the modern means Of war, In parti-
cular the submarine and mines. has
developed kind Of war which is with
out precedent in former history and
which falls by necessity outside the
range Of international law. which was
adapted to conditions very different
from the present.
"All this must be put right at the
next Hague Conference. It win be
the aim of the Conference to make
International law as FAR as possible
square with these new facts. More
than this one canot say at the pres
ent moment. No one can say what
regulations will be drawn up for. con-
traband, blockades. and other matters
OF this kind, or what code Of conduct
