THE WHITE FLAG
Significance in War as Once Fixed by
international Law.

Significance in War as Once Fixed by
international Law.
To a great many people the mere
mention Of a white flag in war at once
suggests some connection with one Of
those unpleasant episodes which, in
South Africa, says the London Tit
Bits, came to be dignified with the
title Of "regrettable Incidents"
But it Is important that 1t should be
more generally known that a white
flag in international law possesses a
significance quite different in charac-
ter.
For an officer or soldier to display a
white flag or other token Of surrender
in the presence Of the enemy Is dis
grace equivalent to showing the white
feather; and the kings regulations
make it Enthusiastically clear that the
offender will be tried by general court
martial.
The surrender by an officer charged
with it's defense, Of any garrison, post,
guard or position, whether fortified or
not, which even a detachment may be
ordered to hold, can only be justified
by the utmost necessity.
Unless this necessity be clearly
shown, the surrender becomes an act
Of shame and disgrace, punishable by
death; or If the evidence is insufficient
to support such a charge the offender,
IL an officer, is liable to be cashiered,
or If soldier to suffer Imprisonment.
What requires to be clearly under
stood is that the hosting Of a white
flag. means. in itself. nothing else
than that one party is asking whether
it will receive a communication from
the other.
In practice, however, the white flag,
in consequence Of being improperly
hoisted in the course of an action by
individual soldiers or small parties,
has come to indicate surrender.
The white flag is the universally
understood flag Of truce, and no more.
Since time immemorial it has been
uSeu as d py Oil oiiiSu hoi ~
that it is anxious to communicate with
the enemy, and this is the only signi-
ficance that it can be said to possess
in international law.
Great vigilance Is always necessary.
for the question in every case is
whether the hosting Of the white flag
was authorized by the senior officer.
In consequence, when the flag is
hoisted the enemy need not necessarily
cease fire, though it is absolutely in
cumbent on the party which hoists the
flag to do so.
For instance, during the siege OF
Arthur in 1904, when a particular
fort hoisted a flag, the Japanese gener-
al, Baron Nogi, did not Immediately
cease firing on that fort; he looked
upon it as merely the preliminary to
a negotiation.

DARING ROBBERY
IN new ORLEANS.
Lone Thief Secures 100000
From Bayou State Security
Bank.
POLICE WITHOUT CLUE
Bold Bandit Forces President to Cash
Personal Check at Point Of Re-
voIver, Then Makes His
Disappearance.

New Orleans.-One Of the most dar-
ing daylight bank robberies ever re-
corded in this city was committed
this morning when the Bayou State Sc
curity bank was looted Of 100000 in
currency by q lone robber. There is
absolutely no clue to the thief.
AS has been the custom for some
time of the president Of the bank, Mr..
Andrew Galbraith, entered his private
offices in the rear of the main banking
apartment at ten o'clock. Shortly af.
ter a young man of prepossessing ap-
pearance quietly opened the door and
entered the room.
When the president looked up he
found himself gazing into the muzzle
Of q revolver and heard the cool de-
mand for 100000 under penalty OF
death for refusal. Mr.. Galbraith imme-
diately realized that the robber would
carry out his threat should he make
any outcry or disturbance. He was
calmly told to write his personal
check for the amount named and in
dorse 1t. He was then ordered to
take it to the paying teller while the
mysterious visitor followed him close
ly with the revolver leveled at him
under his coat.
When President Galbraith presented
the check the young robber stepped to
the window and requested $1,000 In
small bills and the rest in paper OF
large denomination. He stuffed the
loose bills carelessly into his pocket,
put the package containing the $4,000
under his arm, nodded to the president,
backed swiftly to the street door and
vanished.
For further particulars regarding
this daring robbery read the new Be-
rial, "The Price," by Francis Lynde,
soon to appear in this paper.

A Sensitive Soul.-A minister must
be very careful in choosing his words
IL he is to give no offense TO any OF
his flock.
In a certain congregation there was
a dear old lady who loved flowers
and who had a beautiful garden.
Every Sunday it was her bouquet
that adorned the pulpit. She was
especially fond Of sweet peas. and she
once brought them for several Sun
days in succession. Suddenly other
flowers appeared. The minister noticed
the change, and after the service
asked the old lady why she brought
no more sweet peas.
She smiled sadly and answered.
"You don't like them. Last Sunday
you pointed right at my sweet peas
and said, God loves even the meanest
flower that grows"

Sold.-For three long hours the

waiting for help.
He had run out Of gasoline and was
miles away from the nearest garage,

dawn he saw a heavy cart numbering
toward him.
IF you'll tow me to the next vii
lage," he said to the drowsy vanman,
"In give you five dollars"
The bargain was gladly struck. and
presently the procession started, the
motorist travelling on the wagon for
the sake of company.
You're early out" he said present
ly.
Yes; have to be to cover my
round replied the driver amiably.
So they chatted until the village
was reached. Then the motor was cut
adrift, and the bill changed hands.
by the way, what is your line OF
business?" asked the motorist. sud
denly suspicious at the sight OF GER
tain cans in the covered cart.

try stores, sir" replied the man with
a knowing smile.
