QUEER RULES IN WAR

Initiating the buglecals of the enemy is quite egiti- mate; is the wearing of their uniforms with one reser vation. soldier may not fire on the enemy while so at tired But he may advance retreat build bridges and perform any other military operation short of actual fighting using the uniform as means of deception.
 A soldier may spy much as he likes. If he worms his way into the enemy lines he is only doing his duty and if captured there may not be punished beyond being taken ordinary prisoner provided he is wearing uni form. Ifheis in any kind of disguise he may be shot
 In the course of his spying he may kill as many of the enemy as he can When he approaches the sentries he may stab them in the dark any trick to throw them off their guard except He may not say frend" if the sentry challenges him ness of course he intends to surrender)
 Similarly, if suddenly attacked, he may not use any words to make the enemy believe that he is friend in dis guise and so take him unawares
 These are accepted rules of warfare

CUT DOWN SUNDAY DIET

Grouchiness is more prevalent on Monday morning than at any other time in the week and to such extent that life is made disagreeable temporarily for many families and for many cowOrkers That such manifesto tonS of i'll feelings detrimental to private and public interests is widely acknowledged but has remained for Dr. Samuel G. DxOn state commissioner of health to d rect public attention to the Monday morning grouch and to tell how it can be done away with. '~vr 1'l> 'rr
 'The majority of peOle" Dr. Dixon says "are apt to fall into two general divisions One class tries to crowd too much into the time between oneIWeeks end and the beginning of the next weeks labor They take up their business Monday morning exhausted and Oyertred in stead of refreshed by the day of rest The other class goes to extremes by overeahng and underexercisng and the result is equally unhappy"
 To these causes the doctor could have added the hang Over from Saturday night for that there is more dissipation then than during any other night in the week is beyond dispute This is followed by late rising Sun day morning. and if the stomach will permit the eating of three meals, which always heavier on Sundays than on other days The remedy then lies with the nd vdua and consists in abstinence from liquor Saturday

CONSERVE THE FISH

Realizing it's coming importance as a center of the habut fishing industry Seward took part today in the general effort preserve and protect the habu in wat CTS adjacent to Alaskan coasts from annihation by en- dorsing the bill before congress providing for closed period of two months during the spawning season.
 One of the best things about this measure is that 1t has the endorsement of fishermen and the big packing companies as we'll as those bent conserving natural resources showing that the measure has practical merit
 Those engaged in the halibut fishing industry in American know that the danger of annihaton of the halibut is no idle dream. Not many years back Boston was the center of the habut fishing industry of the United States Now most of BostOns halbut come from banks in the gulf of Alaska Halbu banks near Se- atte have been nearly Shed out and norhwestward runs the course of halbut men today.

PEACE ENFORCED

The naval preparations of the United States are dis cussed by the Temps which in giving details of the pro- gram adopted by the United States congress says that in history of the world has power entered upon great enterprise in naval construction as the United States is doing and calls attention to the fact that England in her last naval appropriation before the war be- gan allotted only 991 100000 francs for construction The Temps aues to the words of peace recently uttered by the President in which is anticipated that hosti ties would cease without conqueror conquered, and adds:
 But the United States prepares for the future ana its naval projects reveal desire to conquer in the event of war Today the United States counses peace to the begerents but it seems to be preparing to impose to- morrow by arms"
