IBy Associated Prsssl

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Plans for
the second annual meeting of the
American Institute of International
Law, comprising five delegates from
each of the national societies of the
81 American states, to be held in Ha-
vana, beginning January %, are well
under way. A meeting SURPRISING in
importance even that of last year Is
president of the institute, and DIR.
Alexandra Alvarez of Chile, secretary
general, who is now in Washington,
are working On the program, which
is expected to be announced shortly.
The meeting Is to be held in Ha-
vana at the invitation of the Cuban
government, which has planned the
appropriation of 10000 pesos for its
expense. Many sources of entertain
ment have already been arranged,
such as a gala day at the race track

country and an excursion to Matanzas.
The morning sessions of the confer
ence are to be held in the Academy
of Sciences, the afternoon at the uni

held In Washington last year in con-
junction with the Pan-American con-
vention, the very important pro-
nouncement as to the rights and
duties of nations was drawn up, which
received widespread notice at the
time. This provided in the main that
states, whether large or small, have
the right to existence and self-defense,
so long as neither infringed on the
rights Of other states, that none was
entitled to violate international law
and that II one did it was the moral
duty of the others to protest energeti.

:BELGIANS PROUD
in final Stand
ny Associated Pressl

WITH THE BELGIAN ARMY, Bel
gium.-The pride of the Belgian
troops In holding back the Germans
from further encroachment on Belgian
soil is observable Immediately one
enters the sector occupied by King
lAlbert's troops. Determination to
prevent any advance by the Germans
and the will to push back the invaders
when the time is ripe are evident
everywhere.
The Associated Press correspond
ent has visited the Belgian advanced
lines at a point between Dixmude and
Boseinghe, where, for the moment,
there is still fighting. Water under
foot, thick mists making the atmos.
phere heavy ana preventing observa-
ton, and cold rain falling in contin-
uous penetrating downpour make &C.
ton almost impossible.
Out in the front lice after a long
tramp over board walks across sodden
fields and irrigation channels the cor
respondent saw the Belgian soldiers
keeping their constant vigil, clothed in
heavy wooden coverings and oilcioth
raincoats and high rubber boots. Here
and there a sentinel stood looking
out over the mile or so of water COW
ering the space between the Belgian
and the German lines, dimly visible
in the distance. No Darbed wire en-.
tanglements are possible here; their
place is taken by seawater, which, by
the cutting of the dikes, has been per-
mitted to flow where 1t wills. although
1t renders the land uncultivable for 20
years.
Firing is pesultory
The crack of an occasional rifle
shot. fired from one side or the other
when a guard imagines some move
ment in the opposing lines, was dulled
by the heavy air, and sometimes near
but generally far off was heard the
roar of an aerial torpedo. .....
1t is impossible at any point Of the
Belgian front to excavate trench,
for each spadeful OF earth taken out
Is at once replaced by hole full Of
water. In place of trenches the only
way to form protective line for the
infantry occupying the front lines is
to construct shelters of sand-filled can
vas sacks and this has been developed
into an art by the Belgian troopers.
For four days at a stretch the same
men remain without relief at the front
under these distressing conditions, but
there is no complaint for the men are
mostly hardy peasants or laboring
men who have had to combat the Bel
gian climate all their lives. Hardships
which for troops from other and drier
districts would prove insurportable,
are borne by them with cheerfulness
Rulers With Soldiers
King Albert, who lives near the &C.
tual fighting line, pays an almost daily
visit to some part of the front. The
queen, too, remains on Belgian soil,
and when not engaged on hospital
work is often seen walking along
among the soldiers when they are en-
joying a short respite from active
service.
Everywhere there are evidences of
Americas aid 10 the Belgian wounded
and to refugees from the interior who
insist on remaining on the small pOr-
ton Of Belgian soil still left to them.
