doubt such certainty does not e1is. if the merchantmen possesses arma~ ment which is sufficient to light the war vessel. It can hardly be expect cd to discharge its duties under the muzzle of guns. with the knowledge what their purpose may be, without mentioning the fact that merchant men of the Entente powers, despite all assurances to the contrary, as has been proved. are provided with arms for an aggressive purpose and also use them for this purpose.
 Tt would also be a misinterpreta- tion of the duties of humanity to de- mana that crews of war vessels ex- pose themselves without defense to arms of the enemy. No state could value its duties of humanity towards the legal defenders of the father land less than it's duties towards sub- jects of foreign powers. The Austro- Hungarian government. therefore, have stated that its promise made to the Washington cabinet did not ex- tend. from the very beginning, to armed merchantmen. because they. according to the valid principle and right which restrict hostilities to or- ganized forces. are to be regarded as pSA ost0 VSSSSiS WUACu AA0J " uS. stroyed.
 As history shows, 1t was never per-
 mitted under general international
 law that merchantmen oppose the
 exercise of the right of capture by
 war vessels. Even if . regulation of
 such kind could be found, this would
 not prove that vessels should be al-
 lowed to arm themselves. It must
 also be taken into consideration that
 the arming of merchantmen would
 completely transform wArfare on the sea- and that such . transformation
 cannot correspond with the intentions of those who endeavor to bring to bear the principles of humanity in warfare on sea. In feet, since the abolition of prtvateerinG. no government until 8 few years ago has thought In the least of arming merchantmen. At the second peace. conference. which was occupied with all questions of naval war law, the arming of merchantmen was mentioned only once. This ut terance. however. is significant be- cause 1t was made by high naval ohicers. who freely declared.
 When a warship proposes to stop and visit a merchant ship, the coml mander, before launching a small boat. will cause a. cannon shot to be fired. cannon shot is the best guarantee that can be given. Mer- chant ships have no cannon on board"

 "As regards circular note 10,6O2 of

 has to state that. as already men, tioned, it is of the opinion that the
 arming of merchantmen. even solely for defense against the exercises of the right of capture, Is not estab- lished by modern international law.
 A war vessel is obliged to come into contact with enemy merchantmen in peaceful manner. It has to way lay the vessel by certain signals. to enter into communication with the captain, to examine the ships papers, draw up a protocol and, if necessary take an inventory. Fulfllment of these duties presupposes naturally that the war vessel has full certainty that the merchantman, on it's part, also will at peacefully. Without

Falling Leaves and Men.

When German autocracy started
this war Of national robbery and
plunder it was not expected that the
cost in blood and money would
amount to one small fraction Of the
sums winch have been reached.
1t was to be a six weeks trip 10
Paris. The Kaiser told his people
from the balcony Of the imperial pal
ace that the soldiers would be home
before the leaves dropped from the
trees. That was the first of August.
The leaves would fall inside Of two
months.
But the leaves have fallen four
times, and so have the men-four
hundred times as many as the Kaiser
then thought possible.
Independent Socialist Leader Lede-
bour made the declaration in the
reichstag and the fact has just been
published that Germany has lost
100000 men.
Six million victims of one mans
criminal ambition.
Six million men sacrificed to add TO
the territory of the German empire
and to extend the authority and the
power Of German emperor.
Six million men pawns on the table
for German king to play with.
OF this number, it is admitted that
100000 have been killed. About
1 100000 are wounded in such man
er that they are permanently dis
ahled. Over 100000 are crippled for
life. having lost arms, legs, eyes and
other members.
This is Germany's share alone. This
is the price which the German people
have had to pay thus far in their eX-
cursion for sustaining their form OF
government. This is the price of hav-
ga hell-hound at the head Of their
nation, brute who has dreamed Of
war for forty years.

present. The report of every casualty
at home or abroad is Immediately
wired or cabled to officials at Wash
ington, being relayed from there with
out loss of time to the emergency
address of the soldier or sailor affect
ed. 1t is also at once released for
publication in the newspapers. No
news of casualties has or will be
held up.
No man in the service has received
orders not to write home; he has been
urged, on the contrary, to keep in
touch with relatives and friends. The
forces in France have at their dis
posal post carts giving general in
formation in regard to health and the
receipt of letters and parcels, which
may be dispatched without payment

Care is also taken to see thai mail

regimental and company designation
of a soldier is not known it may be
secured by application to the Adjutant
Generals Office, Washington, D. c. In
one week 1,674 letters with insult
