led TO a long controversy on the sub
ject of reprisals and internationl law,
some sober persons defending the en-
terprise in question as allowable under
the Hague Convention.
Sir Herbert Stephen made what was
perhaps the aptest comment on this
discussion. He pointed out that the
question Of legality was always
slippery one in war, but that the main
question was simpler. This is how he
put it:
There is in reality no possible way
of testing the question whether a
particular method of injuring the enc

men, except the question, Does it eff
fectively weaken the enemy in mill
tary sense? If the bombardment Of
Freiburg made It more difficult for the
Germans to torpedo our hospital ships

proposition that it will efectually
make them afraid Of doing so. II they
have the chance. seems to me to re-
quire far stronger evidence for its &C
ceptance than has yet been suggested
In public"
The announcement just published
by the German government shows that
Sir Herbert Stephen was not mis-
taken. fer in future the hospital, ships
are to be treated with even less con
lsideration than heretofore.

Conserving Vital Resources
The World Has SeenThc
Wartime Necessity of Conserving Cotton Coal and Other
SaeAuthOtes CO-OperangThe Public Must
a

Since the publication OF the state
ment that The National Board of Fire
Underwriters had undertaken an ex-
tensive work Of wartime conservation
in the service of the federal govern
ment, there have been many inquiries
from those desiring particulars. While
some of the work is OF a somewhat
confidential nature, It is believed that
a brief outline Of certain phases may
now with propriety be given.
Every day furnishes increased evil
dence that the world is racing with
starvation. II is a crime against hu-
mainly TO allow the usual percentage
of fires in grain elevators and other
places Of storage TO be continued. The
National Board. therefore, has been
working out extensive plans for pro-
viding fire protection. as distinguished
from mere fire indemnity, for all ele-
vators. -four mills. potato and onion
warehouses, and other food reposi-
tories in the United States.
To this end President Bissell has
appointed local subcommittee in New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston,
San Francisco, Minneapolls-St. Paul,
Atlanta, New Orleans, and Dallas.
These committees have already en-
tered into active cooperation with the
governors. state councils Of defense,
committees Of safety. fire marshals,
and the financial and commercial in.
terests Of their localities particularly
with committees of grain dealers as.
sociations, representative owners, etc
Their activities are Of a far reach
ing nature, involving inspections, the
correction of structural hazards, and
the prom luon of careful methods, IN.

tunity FOR bringing about widespread
campaign of conservation. The sue
cessful fruits Of this campaign should

thousands whose food requirements

would be destroyed were the nre loss
10 remain as usual.
But little less important is the con-
servation of the cotton crop-that
great staple whose employment in
the manufacture of explosives, as well
as in fabrics, makes 1t an indispens-
able wartime necessity. The United
States is the source Of large part
of the worlds supply. and it is vitality
important that this supply should not
be diminished through fire. The bur
den of this responsibility falls especi-
allv upon the committees in Dallas,
New Orleans and Atlanta, although
shared to some degree by those IN
other cities In this work, as well, the
closest cooperation is maintained
with all local authorities and inter
ested organizations

including breakers, tipples, ETC.; Of
fertilizer works; Of saw mills and of
piers and wharyes, are important d.
visions of the work undertaken. With
the growing probability that every
ounce Of the nsN)ns strength may be
required it would be intolerable to
continue the drain of preventable fires
i'm these vital resources. Each one OF
them, therefore, is being made the
subject of the closest study and most
active effort in a great fire prevention
campaign, the like Of which the world
has never known.
This campaign is enlisting the ser

Spirit of the Delmarvia Press

for all interested to keep June in
the foreground Of their memory. The
only exemptions from registration of
men between the specified ages are Of
icers and enlisted men of the Regular
Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps,
the National Guard and Naval Militia,
and officers in the Officers Reserve
Corps and enlisted men in the Enlist
ed Reserve Corps.
There is no option about this regis
tration as there is about registration
for voting. This registration is com
pulsory and 1t will be costly to forget
It. Those who forget it, or neglect to
or try to evade it, or who shall make
any false statement as to their liabil-
ity under the law. will be guilty of a
misdemeanor and may be punished by
Imprisonment of a year or less. in the
! discretion OF the court 1t will be a
risky thing to fail to register or to lie
about ones age. because there will be
great many persons in each neigh.
borhood who will take pleasure in re-
porting delinquents and falsifiers.
Il is we'll for everyone to have a
clear idea beforehand of the conse-
quences. One thing to be remembered
is that you will not necessarily be
called into service simply because you
are registered. II $4,000 men should
be registered in Maryland on June 5,
not more than one man in eight or
ten is likely to be called to the colors;
and even il man is one of those on
whom the lot falls. he still has a right
to make out case for exemption in

The first thing TO do is to register, and
the important thing TO remember is
that June is the date for that duty.
