In Plain Violation of ihe Compact of The
Hdnue
Hague
(From The New York SUM-

The use by the Germans in Flan-
ders OF bombs emitting asphyxiating
gases is directly alleged by the Brit
ish commander, Sir John French, in
his report of the lighting to the north
OF Ypres:
"rhe enemy made use of a large
number of appliances for the produc-
tion of asphyXiating gas. The quanti-
ty produced indicate long and delhi
crate preparation for the employment
of devices contrary to the terms OF
The Hague convention 10 which the
enemy subscribed"
A correspondent inquiries whether
the use of poisonous yapors in battle,
however deplorahle sin against civ
ilized warfare. is not technically JUS
tilted by the failure of all the bellig-
orents TO ratify the convention which
prohibited IT, In other words, he asks
If this moral outrage in the method OF
making war Is really as Sir John
French remarks. in violation OF a
valid engagement by which Germany
is bound.
We do not wonder at the question
The Sun has exhibited the chaos into
which the failure of this or that sig

convention has thrown the whole sys-

to the Allies.
The present case is different from
those which we have previously eX-
smined. The declaration concerning
asphyxlating gases signed at the first
conference at The Hague is still ef-
l fective, except as noted in the usua
/ exemption clause:
1.-The contracting Powers agree tC

took the money for same and took
their departure, since when neither

DEER SHIELDED.
Heavy Fine For Violating
the Law

A law which hunters and members
of the state game warden's department
say will go farther toward the protec-
tion of deer than any other statute
that might be enacted, save one abso-
lutely prohibiting the killing of deer,
has been passed by the Wisconsin
legislature aud will be in effect at
the opening of the deer season on
Nov. H. 1t prohibits the killing of
any doe or any fawn of either sex,
and the shipment of carcass of doe
or a fawn by any railway company,
express line or other common carrier,
and prohibits any person or corpora
ton from having possession OF the
carcass of any doe or fawn at any
time. A fine of from $25 to $50, or
Imprisonment not to exceed three
months, is the penalty for the viola
ton of this statute.
1t is expected by the state game
warden and his assistants, and by as
sociations interested in the protection
of game in Wisconsin, that the new
law will not only result in better pro-
lection of deer, but will be an abso-
lutte safeguard to the lives of hunters
in the north woods.
Under the new law, in shooting a
deer it will be necessary for the
sportsman to see his target, and
know what he is shooting at in order
to avoid a violation of the statute.
Heretofore the great danger in the
woods has been the careleSSneSS of
the inexperienced hunter in firing at
moving object in the dense timber
or tangled slashings. Expecting to see
deer driven out by the drivers, and
seeing a movement in the brush a
shot has been fired at the moving
object, and too late the hunter has
ascertained that he has shot his COM
panion or another hunter. An acct
dent of this character can not occur
under the new law, if the hunter in
tends to live up 10 the statute, say
experienced deer hunters. He must
see the antlers on his game before he
fires.
1t is said by game wardens that
fully IS per cent of the deer killed in
Wisconsin between Nov. 10 and Dec.
l last were does. This also has been
the fact every season for several years.
Each doe that is killed actually takes
the lives, say game wardens, of five
deer-the doe itself, two fawns that
usually accompany the mother and
later become easy prey to wolves or
other game destroying animals. and
two that tine doe is carrying.

The Wausau Business college will
close its twenty-ninth school year on
Friday of this week. This institu-

management until the present pro-
prietor, E. d. Widmer, purchased the
same nine years ago. Since that time
the school has more than doubled in
numbers. 1t has grown to such an
extent that it was necessary four
years ago to purchase new quarters
and remodel them for the use of the
school.

Wausau now has the distinction Of
having one Of the best, if not the best
commercial school in the state of
Wisconsin. Since Mr.. Widmer has
been in this city he has given his I'M
divided attention to the management
of his school and by SO doing has
placed it in the front rank. The
school is fully accredited, it being @
member in good standing in both the
State and National Organizations of
Accredited Commercial Schools.
