The part that the United States because natural

Peace be rebuilt only upon the ancient and ac
epted principles of international law, only upon those
hngs which remind nations of their duties TO other
nd deeper than that, of their duties to mankind"
This is something which the beigerents, al a white

Germany, when have tried to recall her to her own
ormer principles and practices. has held guilty of
prejudice and selhshness Great Britain in our contro-

Tifiis, Transcaucasia, March A.
The Russian army of the Caucasus,
driving the Turkish forces before IL,
has reached the River Khopachas, the
estuary of the Tchoruk. In Armenia.
This advance by the Russians cuts
the route of Turkish reinforcements
and supplies from Constantiople to the
Caucasion frontier, through Khopa,
Turkish Armenia, and isolates large
section of Turkish territory.
The isolated section includes the
districts of Ardnuch, Ardahan, Olti
and Sari Kamysh.
The Russian forces advanced from
Batum, on the Black sea near the
Turkish border, and were opposed by
the Turks at every step.
They were assisted by Russian war
ships, which cleared the shore OF
Turkish forces and cut off successive
ly several avenues of Turkish COM
munication by sea until only the
Khopa route remained.
After a battle of three days this
last route was closed effectively.

To Resist Chase Law.

A number of the. property owners
of Cedar Rapids have decided to re-
sist the new paving law that re-
quires city councils to assess the
cost of pavements on cross streets to
all property owners to the center of
the block. They have secured an
attorney and declare they will carry
the matter to the supreme court. A
Cedar Rapids dispatch says: 81.
Attorney Frank Byers has filed a
big batch of protests and the prop
erty owners behind the protests are
said to have agreed to carry the case
to the supreme court and knock out
the law if they can. They hold that
it is preposterous to charge property
for paving, when the property has
no frontage on the paving. Most Of
the property owners own property
near North Eighteenth street which
has just been paved with asphaltic
concrete. The laws says that the
cost of paving in front of the corner
lots shall be assessed against all
property to the middle of the block,
not exceeding 300 feet.
The protest which has been filed
gives twenty reasons why the assess
ment should not be made in this
manner. The principal reasons are
that the assessment is in excess of
the benefits conferred upon the prop
erty by the paving; that the paving
is of no special benefit to the prop
erty; that the law is unconstitution-
al and that the city's manner of ar
irving at the percentages is unjust
and illegal.
