SAYS NATIONS MUST
PROTECT ALL CONSULS
Former Swiss Minister Discusses Statu.
of Enyoys.

That a consul is not a public minister.
and hence Is not exempt from the re-
quirements of the laws of the country
or State to which he is assigned. but
that the State in question must never
theless protect both his person and his
dignity, is the declaration of DR.. Henry
s. Boutell. former Minister to Switzer-
land, and a member of the faculty Of
the Georgetown Law school. in the is
sue of. the Georgetown University Law
School Journal. out today.
The native country of a consul may de-
mand that specific protection be given
him by the country in which he is sta
toned. and II the latter fails to comply,
may claim reparation by indemnity and
by other means" DR.. Boutell declares.
In the article DR.. Boutell says in part
ITO determine the status, rights and
remedies for the infractions of the rights
of consuls, our sources are the treaties
and conventions between the State send
ing and the State receiving a consul,
and in the absence of such stipuIations
we must then resort to the established
principles OF international law. The rule
of the United States Supreme Court was
expressed in the case of the "PaQuette
Habana," In 1899, by Justice Gray. who
said:
international Law is part Of our law,
and must be ascertained and administered
by the courts Of Justice of appropriate
Jurisdiction, as often as questions of right
depending upon 1t are duly presented for
their determination. For this purpose,
where there Is no treaty. and no con-
trolling executive or legislative act or
judicial decision. resort must be had to
the customs and usages Of civilized ma
tons; and, as evidence of these, to the
works of Jurists and commentators, who,
by years of labor, research and expert
ence, have made themselves peculiarly
well acquainted with the subjects of
which they treat. Such works are re-
sorted ito by judicial tribunals, not for
the speculations OF their authors con-
cerning what the law ought to be, but
for trustworthy evidence Of what the law

Prussianism Geek OF Walk.
Fleeing Sacrifice.

Are we Pharisees among the nations
seeking personal exaltation and sggran-
dizement, and thus fleeing from that sacri-
our hous ehold and those of the smaller
nations as we'll? Our hearts burn for the
civilian population of Germany.
with all our national faults this anton
has always stood for justice and sought
| to bestow its benefits upon that people
anywhere and everywhere who were less
fortunate than we. This Is q note that
has always ytbrated at the very core of
this republic. Because we love peace
because we hate the sword-because we
want to see international cooperation,
mutual concern and a Christian interna-
itionalism-we want to see a speedy finish
OF Prussian militarism.
There Is no peace while the beast is
at large. While we cherish and seek for
permanent peace. We are tormented
to the very gates OF hell and right here
Is where we say: Take up the sword =
Away with the thought of self-preserva-
ton and commercial aggrandizement
while our commerce Is congested, clogged
and paralyzed along our shore-lines;
while the ships of the world are hug
ging our harbors: while noncombatants
are being sent mercilessly to the bottom
of the seas; while human rights and in
ternational law are tossed arrogantly to
the winds; while one Prussian is holding
up the world and searching its pockets
and shaking his fists in her face.
Let us love and pity more and more
the German people, but-well, to the
trenches with the Kaiser"
