themselves the conduct of the mill

IF the officers OF, "a belligerent insult
the subjects of neutral power with
out being authorized by common
concession, nor by general instruction,
nor by a particular order, then thas
beIligerent is free to ratify or not
the measure of his officers. If he ap-
prove their conduct this sanction
would warrant reprisals. If the bel

In 1744, Lord Carteret, now Count
Granville, at that time Secretary of
State, declared in the name of Her
Britannia Majesty, to Sieur Andre,
Minister of the King Of Prussia to
London, that his masters subjects
were free to trade everywhere, pro-
vided they refrained from carrying
munitions of war to the enemies OF
Great Britain or provisions or food
to any place besieged or blockaded,
but as to other things, commerce
would remain free to neutral nations
upon the same footing that obtain
ed in time of peace:
Neutral ships, observing strict neu-
trality as to their commerce, navfga-
ton and all their industry, remain
upon. the same footing in war as in
time of full peace and unless they
take some part in the war, they are
as free and rs safe by the universal
law Of humanity in the midst of the
horrors of war las in the calm
the most profound peace.
A state of war gives to the nations
fighting the advantage of being al
ways armed and everywhere prepared
but it does not give them any right !!
upon independent people. They take
advantage of their armed condition
when they insult those who, relying
upon the protection of the sacred |!
laws of humanity and living in a pro-
found peace with all the world, not
thinking to secure their rights by
force of arms. are suddenly attack
cd. 1t is an action unjust and UNI
worthy of any sovereign or even of
any man, to injure one who has never
offended, but the injuries !redouble
when one Expresses him by sacri-
!igious abuse of good faith and under
the veil of friendship.

THE RUSSIANS IN FRANCE

lbalCl1nOre AmerlcaH)
Reports as to the number Of Rus
sian troops landed in France differ
But there is no reason to believe, in
view of the great length of passage
that this first installment of the
forces Of the Gar upon the west
front number much more than
twenty-five thousand. But these are
doubtless to be followed by rapidly
charging numbers until the Allies
upon the front that are so severely at
tackled by German proves shall be
most considerable reinforcement to
the French ,Belgians and British.
The necessity for drawing from the
East for the West points to the in
different a!bility of the British to
supply men for their part of the
burden that rests upon the Westside
fighters. The British have proven ii
disappointment and even now they
are engaged in trying over again the
voluntary system.
The presence Of the Russians indi-
Gates the weakness of the Allies
without them and there is as much
satisfaction for the Germans in their
calling in as to the Allies. For to
the former it shows that the fall Of
Verdun is a matter of serious appre-
hension.

EASTER AND
WHAT 1T MEANS.

AT this fearful crisis in mundane
affairs, when wars and rumors OF war
are distressing the peace-lovlng and
when, in the words of the Saviour
Himself, "men's hearts are failing
them for fear of those things which
are coming upon the eath," the cele-
bration of Easter appeals more than
ever to the thoughtful. The resurrec-
ton from the dead, an Unborn truth
in every soul, Christian as well as
! pagan, at times rises above all other
meditations. The Chaldean patriarch.
long before the advent of the Christ
ian era asked, eff man die shall he
live AGAIN." An agnostic Senator
many years ago while delivering an
eulogy over a deceased member said
this query remains to be answered.
Christians believe the question was
answered when the Great Author of
Faith appeared to men after having
been put to death. There is more evil
dence to corroborate this fact than
any other event which has occurred
in the history of the world. The an
niversary Of this momentous event
is celebrated on Easter.
But the world was full of Sad
ducees in the days of Christ. They
did not believe in the resurrection,
angels nor spirits. They had re-
preventative, it seems, among the
twelve apostles, one of whom would
not believe until he had placed his
hand into the spear wound in the
Saviour's side and examined the prints
in His hands made by the nails. He
was told that he believed because he
had seen, but greater blessing was
pronounced upon all who believe
land have not seen.
! The Bible contains many startling
pictures in miniature of the resuree-
ton of the dead. On the Mount of
TRANSPORTATION Moses, who had been
dead about fifteen hundred years, and
Elijah who left the world about eight
centuries before, were seen alive and
talking. This was the kingdom of
heaven coming with power which
was witnessed by chosen trio.
Hundreds Of year before Ezekiel,
prophet of the captivity, had enjoy
ed picture far more elaborate. He
had seen the enNire house of Israe!
shake off death and stand erect; he
had seen them conducted back t.
their own land, sur ounded by great
blessings and with David a prince
among them.
Easter runs far back in history.
Our northern ancestors looked up to
deity they termed Eostre, or Ostara,
which they regarded as the goddess
of spring. After budding together
during the gloomy winter, they long
ed for the approach of spring, when
revival OF nature -~ould take place.
They personified the elements while
gazing upon the aurora borcalis and
iccbergs, and experiencing the pierre
ing winds from the arctic zone. They
knew nothing of revelation, but the
passing of bleak winter, emblem of
death, and the advent of spring was
to them Indicative of another and
far more important resurrection.
Like the natives Of San Salvador,
when the Spaniards landed on this
continent, they never heard of the
Gospel, but they were living in its
spirit.
