and the position he usurped.
In many quarters Yuan Shih Kai Is credited
with being the strong man OF China. Some
features OF his career Justify the distinction In
the boxer rebellion he was the power behind the
throne and the most Hstute defender of totter-
ing dynasty On more than one occasion he
lent eager ears to the schemes of opponents of
the reigning house, and while feigning SYM
pathy. invariably contrived TO send the schemer
to the royal executioner BY such means he
became the most powerful official and army
leader and the most dependable supporter OF
the regency.
When the republic was proclaimed in Eco
ruary, 1919, General Yuan commanded the Inn
perial troops with headquarters at Peking, The
republicans chose Marking as their capital. In
the ensuing parleys for the peaceful extinction
Of the dynasty Yuan successfully manipulated
both sides for his own advantage. His was the
determining voice In the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
throne, and his pretense OF cordial sympathy

Cattle pi,ease Put to Rout.

Official announcement has been made by the
Department OF Agriculture that not single
known case OF foot and mouth disease exists in
the United States, and that while there may yet
be some isolated outbreak. the situation is COM
pletely under control. The information is added
that in the campaign to stamp out this plague
124.14i head OF cattle we're killed which figures
speak louder than words OF the magnitude OF the
menace thus averted.
The successful campaign against cattle dis
ease. above all. testifies to the efficacy of the
methods adopted. and shows what can be done
by intelligent effort backed with the necessary
authority and resources. At the time It looked
as II perhaps too drastic measures were being
resorted to, butit is results that count. and the
saving to the farmers and cattle growers. and
indirectly to the consuming public generally.

The difference between mandates OF inter
national law and OF statute law lies. we are
taught in the lack Of an international authority
with enforcing power back Of IL. international
law is merely a body Of generally accepted GUS
toms observed by nations in their transactions
with one another, just are trade customs and
social customs observed by individuals becauge
Of their reciprocal benefit. and they hold good
therefore only so long as mutual interest COM
mands
large part of our international law is en-
braced under the subdivision OF the laws Of war
being rules and regulations for the conduct Of
nations at a time when they have repudiated and
violated all the other obligations TO one another
The binding force OF the laws Of war is nothing
but desire to avoid retaliation; prisoners are
treated humsnely by one combatant, not SO
much out OF consideration for them as In the
knowledge that in no other way can they count
on decent treatment Of their own prisoners IN
the hands OF the enemy.
The laws OF war on sea are, In fact, more
medieval than the laws OF war on land Sea
warfare is still indistinguishabe from a remnant
OF piracy OF licensed murder and robbery. The
blame for the failure so far to make the code
governing warfare on the seas conform to tho
morals OF modern civilization need not be fixed
now, but the necessity for early revision and re-
form is imperative.

there been such brilliant promise for bountifuI

in good condition for the planting of corn,
which WIN soon be under way. while the ranges

CANNERIES NOT DOING WELL.

Captain Whitney and P. c. PeItret the inspectors of boilers and hu,Is, passed through last night on the Admiral Evans. They came overland from Bristol Bay via Illiamna, where the Evans picked them up.
 They say that the weather is ex- ceptionalIy fine all along the coast this summer The rivers are low and the water is very clear. However the salmon run is very light Ur Co July 18th the canneries had hardly made showing in their expected packs and they expect to fall very short of their seasons output of year ago. The Cook Inlet canucres are doing the best, they says.
 The only cannery far west chat is doing well is that at Port MoIIcr where they are using purse seines ' and going way out to sea When the salmon begin running in the riycH they will come so late in the season and in such great numbers that the canneries will not be able to handle them.

 At Knik Indian Jim was charged by the grand jury with murder in the first degree; trial jury found Indian Jim guilty of manslaughter. E. E' Ritchie and J. P. Murphy appeared for the defendant. District Attorney Spence and Judge Munley for the government.
 F. C. Williston was charged with robbery but was acquitted by trial jury. He was defended by L. V. Ray.
 The case of the government against T. H. Jeter was tried at Knik and later at Anchorage. No decision has yet been announced. MT. Jeter claims as his homestead the land now occupied by the tent city of Anchor age, and the government claims his right thereto is subordinate to the right of the government to use the publfC domain for railroad purposes under the Alaska railway bill. Mir. Jeter claimed Mir. Mears, of the com mission, in the year 1914 asked per mission to go on his homestead claim but this year no permission had been asked and that the government had taken over everything except the small cabin in which he lived. Mr. Jeter tried to get some settlement on the matter but the officials could not agree as to what was fair settle ment and finally insisted on pushing the matter through.
