ARE REINFORCED

having been heavily reinforced this
afternoon, an attempt is being made
to retake advance positions along the
line at Bagotelle, in the Argonne dis
trict, which was taken by the Ger

which was made in overwhelming
numbers. ~. =. ~, 49,. -
Fighting continues here without
interruption and from Argonne to
Aisne artillery duels are still in
progress.
It is understood here that the Ger
mans are again massing forces along
the section north and east of Sois-
sons and this is believed to indicate
that another assault is pending by
Won Kluck's forces from that point.

State Druggists in Session at St. Paul

E. F.: Netzer, proprietor of the
Netzer drug store, left last evening
for St. Paul where he will attend a
session of the State Pharmaceutical
association. One of the matters to
be discussed at the convention will
be the Federal revenue tax on patent
and proprietary medicines, and this
is expected to receive severe grill
ing. The abuses at the hands of. the
manufacturer and jobber, growing
out of the stamping of these articles,
will be attacked, and druggists gen
orally will be heard in criticism OF
the measure. The piratical seller OF
opiates and other "dope," also will
be attacked by the druggists and ap-
prevail undoubtedly will be meted out

ALL NATIONS
MAKE Use OF
NEUTRAL FLAG
Is Ruse to Deceive Enemy and Plan is
as Old as Sea Fighting Itself, Says
Mason in War Analysis.
NO COUNTRY OPPOSES PRACTICE
Can Never Tell When Need Will Be
Shown International Law Pro-
.s...s vides for Safety at Sea.
lBy ]. w. T. Masonl

= New York, Feb. All nations at
war make use of neutral flags as a
ruse to- deceive the enemy. There
is nothing new in the idea. 1t is as
old as sea fighting itself and no gov
eminent will put itself on record in
peace, times as condemning the prac-
tice, because that very nation may
want to use the same practice when
it's time at. war. comes. =. - .-.-.5.
Because neutral flags are misused
has never been held as a reason for
indiscriminate sinking of any ships
flying neutrality colors. Civilized
methods of warfare provided for a
personal search of the neutral vessels
to determine if .belligerent has a
reason to determine her good faith.
If for any reason, the search cannot
be made, then the merchantmen must
be allowed to go on its way. The
only alternative is to risk a war with
the nation to which the neutral be-
longs. -
Would Take Risk.
AS strategic move this risk
might be taken under exceptional
conditions, if belligerent nation
has reason to believe that a neutral
nation would not fight for the pre-
'servation of it's merchant marine. Or
the risk might even be taken if the
belligerent nation could do very lit
tie additional damage to the bellig-
erent nation by entering the war.
War rules permit belligerent ships
to halt a neutral ship on the high
seas for investigation, but no rule
can permit the firing of torpedo
and Investigate afterward. The limi-
tation of offensive power of such a
torpedo do not change the circum-
stances. What a submarine cannot
accomplish by legitimate means must
be abandoned, Just as civilized ma:
lions no longer poison an enemy
water supply. The captain of a mer-
chant vessel who used a neutral flag
to protect his civilian passengers and
crew from an attack of submarines,
cannot be criticised by any interna-
tional law. If the submarines are in
the way of liner and the submarines
have announced themselves not re-
sponsible for civilian lives on the
enemy's merchantmen, the liners
captain will undoubtedly remember
only that his first duty is to his pas
sengers. If liner was dangerously
near an iceberg and if there were
some magnetic quality about for
eign flag that would prevent disaster,
the captain would not hesitate to fly
the alien colors.
Under any circumstances of dan
ger the proceeding would be the
same. International law simply pro-
vides for safety at sea in the case of
non combatants aboard merchant
men.

WHEAT ENDED WEAK
ON PROFIT-TAKING
New High Marks Were Estab-
listed at the Outset-Sea-
board Clearances Lighter

CHICAGO. Dec. 22-Wheat was fever
ish and irregular today, but closed weak
on extensive proht-talking. December
ended at the bottom at Sl2l%. against S1.2l
at the close yesterday; May only hlc.
above the lowest, at Sl.23. compared with
SL2i7s at the end Yesterday, and July
only lac. above the lowest at Sl.l35s,
compared with sl.15A, Yesterdays last
price. The best prices were established at
the outset, when new high records for
the season were scored. following the
execution of n fairly large volume of
overnight buying orders, based on recent
sales for export and on strength at Liver
pool, where prices were up li2 to 4d, re-
ticCtinE the bulge here yesterday.
1t was soon evident, however that there
was not much buoyancy to the market
and heavy realizing forced prices below
yesterdays close. y demand then de-
veloped and the market rallied for a
time but another attack was made on
the market and it weakened perceptibly.
Purchasing, for the most part, was on
resting orders At one time December
showed even with May on covering. GX-
porters said that the demand was not so
brisk today Minneapolis reported active
selling there by commission houses that
usually act for the country. dispatch
from Winnipeg said that the market
there had been over-bonEht. The north

ent, however. that considerable corn was
wanted on all weak spots \ leading au-
thority said that il was impossible TO
compile an accurate estimate on the yield
of corn for 1915. The market at Liverpool
was active and strong. oats, after show
