trality Is borne almost with equa =

denced by the over subscription of
the recent government loan. Dimi-
mutton of trade has followed in the
wake Of the war outside Dutch
boundaries. This has been due
principally to the embargo placed
on the expectation of various arti-

ported from Germany, the figures
showing that only 264,919 freight
cars crossed the Dutch-German

reduced from 126.7ee car loads In
1918 to 98,27S car loads last year.

RUSSIAN DEFEAT, BRITISH AIR
RAIDS ON GERMANS IN BEL,
GUM AND WAR ZONE DAM
GERS ARE THE CHIEF MAT
TERs OF IMPORTANCE RE-
PORTED TODAY
(By Associated lress. }


London, Feb. 13.-The Russian
retirement from east Prussia and the
British air raid yesterday on the
Belgian coast towns held by the
Germans, appeared the biggest fac
tors in the military situation to-
day.
The diplomatic field is apparently
dominated by the United States
notes to England and Germany. It.
is apparently the gist of German
opinion that neutral powers have
been sufficiently warned to keep out
of the war zone, and that the Ger
man submarine policy is the only
course, as she is facing starvation
at England's hands.
Fighting in the Carpathians Is
proceeding in the snow, but details
are lacking. 1t is thought that the
British air raid on the German sub
marine base is the forerunner of
more extended operations.

THE RULES OF WAR.


The rules of war are rs sharply |
defined, as clearly formulated and rs
generally recognized as the rules OF
football, baseball, cricket, or the prize
ring. The only important difference is
that in the game OF war there is no
umpire or referee with power to en-
force his decisions, and consequently
the rules may be, and often are, VIC
lated, says the January Popular Nc
chanics Magazine in an Illustrated
article.
I'm the beginning of things and
down TO very recent times indeed, there
were no restrictions definite or I'M
Piled, upon the rights of a command
ing 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 OF chilli
owing allegiance to the enemy had any
rights which n hostile force was even
morally bound to respect. Leave them
neither root nor branch, was the uni
versal rule of war. As mankind reach,
cd Il higher stage Of civilization, war
gradually became more humane-or
rather, less barharous. Acts that had
always been recognized not only as
tie right, but almost as the duty OF
armies in the field came, century by
century, to be regarded rs at least nm
sportsmanlikc. 1t was not until the
/ Civil war in America, however that
any nation undertook to formulate
codfy. and publish Il set Of rnles for
! the guidance of those who play the
game of war. In 1863, the war de
partment of the United States issued "A
manual of the laws governing civilized
warfare-a manual which, brought
down to date, forms part of the equip
mfnt of every officer in the United
States army. \ year later an inter.
national conference was held Mt Gene
Va, Switzerland, and the conventions
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 9th
er conferences followed this one hnt
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
'iup and agreed upon 1T the first anc
, second Hague conferences, held il
1899 and 1907. -

regulations which serves to make thu

: states:
