The Rules of War

THE rules of war are as sharply
defined, as clearly formulated and
as generally recognized as the
rules of football, baseball, cricket,
or the prize ring. The only i'm
portant difference is that in the
game of war there is no umpire or
referee with power to enforce his
decisions, and consequently the
rules may be, and often are, vio-
lated" says the January Popular
Mechanics Magazine in an illu-
strated article.
I'm the beginning of things and
down TO very recent times indeed,
there were no restrictions, definite
or implied, upon the rights of a
commanding general or the powers
of his army. They might-and
did-pillage and loot and burn and
destroy as, and when, they pleased.
No man, woman or child owing al
legiance to the enemy had any
rights which a hostile force was
even morally bound to respect.
Leave them neither root nor
branch was the universal rule of
war. AS mankind reached a high
er stage of civilization, war gradu-
ally became more humane-or,
rather, less nHrbarous. Acts that
had always been recognized not
only as the right, but almost as the
duty, of armies in the field came,
century by century, to be regarded
as at least unsportsmanlike. 1t
was not until the Civil War in
America, however, that any ma
ton undertook to formulate cod
ify, and publish set of rules for
the guidance of those who play the
game of war. In 1868, the war
department of the United States
issued a manual of the laws

Sir Edwards long and carefully
considered reply concerning American
complaints of delays to which her
cargo ships have been subjected by
the British navy, was much discussed,
but naturally the German threat of

effect were uppermost in the minds of
ship owners and traders. AS Germany
has for some time been attempting to
sink all British ships which her sub
marines could approach, her blockade
ultimatum has caused little alarm.

The greatest folly of to-day is com

Artificial digesters-pepsin Pills, etc

is worse off than ever:

governing civilized warfare-a
manual which, brought down to
date, forms part of the equipment
of every officer in the United
States Army. A year later an in
ternational conference was held at
Geneva, Switzerland, and the con-
ventions signed there by all the
great powers, relating to the care
of the sick and wounded, were the
first internationally formulated
rules of war. Several other con-
ferences followed this one, but the
formal regulations respecting the
laws and customs of war on land
which are in force today between
the warning nations of Europe,
were drawn up and agreed upon
at the first and second Hague con-
ference, held il 1899 and 1907"
The article gives n summary of
these regulations which serves TO
make the situation abroad much
clearer to the average person. In
concluding it states:
with a few unimportant ex-
ceptions every one of the nations
involved In the European conflict
has solemnly pledged itself to OBJ
serve these rules. When the war
is over, should the victorious ma
tion or nations be able to establish
conclusively that the other side in
its operations violated any of these
fundamental rules, it may mete
out punishment for such offenses
almost as it pleases. But thus far
there is no international tribunal
to which a vanquished nation can
appeal for justice. A victory won
by violating the rules of war is
still a victory-there is no referee
with power to award the decisions

IMP PARCHMENT PROCEEDINGS
 OF FEDERAL JUDGE DROPPED
Although Majority Report Held That Judge Dayton's Conduct Was Repre- henSibIe

Washington, March 3-The house to 1, to drop the impeachment pro- ccedings against Federal Judge Day ton of West Virginia, although the majority report held that the judges conduct in some instances had been 'reprehensib A minority report drawn by Chairman McGillicuddy of the sub- committee which investigated the judge, recommending impeachment, was rejected. The majority report, drawn by Representatives Gard and Danforth, concludes:
 This evidence shows many matters of individual bad taste on the part of Judge Dayton, some not of that high standard of judicial ethics which should crown the federal judiciary, but 8 careful consideration of all the evil dence and attendant circumstances convinces us that there is little possi- biEty of maintaining to a conclusion of guilty the charges made. and impels us therefore to recommend that there will be no further proceedings"
 The report found that while Judge Dayton had not "conspired with cer- tain corporations and individuals to bring about the removal from office" of his predecessor, he was fully in- formed of the investigation of the off, cial and private life of Judge Jackson and gave aid and advice to those in charge of the investigation"
 It declared that the evidence did not support charges that Judge Dayton had shown marked favoritism to ''cer- tain corporations having extensive business in his court'' or had abused his power and influence as a judge to further the interests of his son, Arthur s. Dayton"
 As to charges of prejudice against labor organizations, the report said that in cases involving these organiza- tions Judge Dayton's manner was heated and impassioned, he was labor ing under much emotional excitement and his conduct general was that of one who had prejudged the cases be- fore him.

legends of inexhaustible stores of 1Eca-gold, nevertheless, detract noth- ing from the enticing interest of these lit1e-traveled mountains.
 The theatre of the National Geo. graphic Society-Yal University ex- petition IS a wonderful country, whose magnificent scenery and part revealed past give it as powerful an appeal as that possessed by any other of the worlds areas. It is filled with deep-rent canyons, majestic un- climbed mountain peaks, wide ranges of vivid -colored, tropical jungles; and it is crossed by the splendid roaring rapids of the Apurimac and the Uru bamba, whose waters go to feed the Amazon. It has it's disagreeable insect pests which swarm the low lands in innumerable millions, the vampire bats of the middle valleys, and the bitter cold of the nights in the uplands.
 The work of the expedition has been planned under number of scientific divisions. Typographical maps will be prepared, a detailed geological reconnaissance will be undertaken, the plant and animal life weather conditions will be thoroughly Investigated There will also be carried on an anthropological, arch geological and historico geographical reseaEcheS, looking toward the un- raveling of the mystery of the ancient inhabitants of the Andes and to the determination of just what was ac- complished in the Western World for progress and civilization before our European ancestors called themselves In to take up the task.
 Mebres who left New York on this expedition are: Director, Hiram Bingham; Geologist. Herbert E. Gre gory, Ph. D., Silliman Professor of Geology in Yale University, Geologist of the 1912 Expedition; Naturalist, Edmund Heller, Naturalist of the smithsonian's African Expedition, under the leadership of Col. Roose- vet; Botanist, o. F. Cook, Ph. D., of the United States Department of Agriculture; Chief Engineer. Ellwood c. Erdis, of the 1912 Expedition; To- pographer, Edwin L. Anderson Chief Assistant and interpreter, Ossood Hardy, M. A., of the 1912 Expedition Assistant Topographer, c. F. Wester- berg, B. S., and several assistants.
 Particular local interest will attach to the expedition, as Clarence F. May nard, son of MT. and Mrs. William W. Maynard, of No. 211 West Thames street, is going with it as an assistant topographer. /
 Mir Maynard, who has been at Yale, was at his home here on Sunday for a farewell visit before he sailed with the expedition on Tuesday. It is not ex- pected that he will be back in the United States before Christmas. The opportunity to be included in such an expedition is a rare one and is a teS- timonial in itself of the estimation of those selected for it are held by the leaders of the undertaking.

ENGLAND WILL ACCEPT
 GOODS FROM GERMANY, If Articles Wanted Are OhtainaEsie They Will Be Admitted.

London, March 3, 3.5S D. m.-Exp por- tation from Germany of such goods as Great Britain desires and is able to obtain from that country will be per- mitted by the British government, not withstanding the declaration of Pre- mier Asquith that Great Britain and her allies would prevent commodities of any kind from reaching or leaving Germany. This point was made clear in a statement respecting the blockade policy which was delivered in the house of commons today by Waiter Runcf- man, president of the board of trade.
 Admiral Lord Charles Beresford ask ed whether aniline dyes from Germany would be admitted to England. Mir. Runciman replied that persons licensed by the government to import aniline dyes would be permitted to continue to bring them, since these dyes were necessary for the purposes of the war office, the admiralty and civil indus try.
 It was suggested that if German goods continued to be brought in 1t would be impossible for Great Britain to prevent Germany from exporting goods to America.
 Mir Runciman declined to discuss this point. He added:
 If it is necessary that we should get and we can get some goods from Germany-for instance, if we require explosives and can get them from Ger many-we certainly shall do SO"

Especial to The Bulletin.)


 Washington, D. C., March 3.-Under the leadership of Dr. Hiram Bingham, the National Geographic SocietyYale University Peruvian Expedition sailed from New York yesterday to continue its work in the Andean Mountains, in the hope of finding the key to the mysteries of the New Worlds past. The Inca and Atzec civilizations which flourished in this hemisphere before the arrival of those gold hungry adventurers and destroyers who followed in the wake of Colum- bus have an inexpressibly melancholy interest for us in that our traditions of them indicate how complete sys- teas of culture may be swept away and hardly leave a trace. Work al ready accomplished in the Peruvian Andes by Dr. Bingham under the auspices of the National Geographic Society and Yale University suggests that the clue has been found to the history of the Incas, ana that we will be able to clear up much of the mystery concerning that civilization wiaach the conquistadores ruthlessly laid waste.
 In a concealed valley in the high Andes of Peru, the American Tibet, Dr. Bingham has discovered one of the lost Inca cities, which he now be- neves to be the famous Machu Picchu of Indian and Spanish legend, birth place ana last ulQQ0f dDOuc ol 4IISd power, faith, and culture. The Inca Empire endured between HOO A. D. and 1572 A. D. Here in this wild, in- accessible mountain region the Peru vian Expedition of 1914-15 will con- tinue it's painstaking efforts to lift the veil from the pre-Co1unfbian secrets of the Western Hemisphere, and there is promise that these secrets will prove as wonderful and as fascinating as those which the scientists have forced the dead civilization of the Nile and of the Mesopotamian val leys to surrender.
 tiges of the most ancient and ad- vanced culture in South America, They hold preserved within their val leys the remains of long forgotten Indian towns and cities, ruins of roads and aqueducts, of walls, fort resses and terraces, and in these ruins is written the story of the first Amer tcan engineers and architects, of Americas earliest metallurgists and artihcers in metals, clays and flores. These remains, together with the specimens of bronze and silver orna- ments, tools, and utensils, form a life out of which the explorers hope to be able to reconstruct a connected picture of the storied Inca Empire.
 There was formerly considerable gold to be found in this region and for many years it was the dream of every adventuresome spirit in the New World and the goal of many for tune hunters. However, four cen turies of treasure seeking probably has left little in the way of precious metals to the modern explorer. Old
