INTERNATIONAL LAW.

Held by Authorities to Be- Part Of the
National Jurisprudence
The declaration that international
law is at one and the same time both
national and international has far
reaching and very practical signifi-
canoe for the work of building a new
international order. "
The courts of Great Britain, begin
ming with Lord Chancellor Talbot in
1898 and including Lord Chief Justice
Mansfield In 1894. have held that the
law Of nations is part of the common
law of England. Sir William Black
stone supported this doctrine in his
classic Commentaries. This doctrine
holds good as well in the United States
as in Great Britain, fact to which
both Thomas Jefferson and Alexander
Hamilton bore convincing testimony.
In the lifetime Of the present ge!.rr-
alton the United States supreme court
has held that international tn is part
Of our law and that, in order to ns,cr
tain and administer it in cases where
there is no treaty and no controlling

EVILS or SECRET DIPLOMACY.

In London, Lord Robert Cecil declares
the existence of proof that Germany med
itated an attack on the United States after
having dealt with France and England. In
Washington, one hears that evidences
which makes the United States government
believe that Germany planned TO make war
on the United States after cleaning up
France and England is in the hands OF the
administration.
We do not doubt either of these asser-
lions. We believe evidence OF this sort
has been in the hands of the adminlstra-
ton for many months; that il was IN pos
session of the proof throughout the presi
Dental campaign of last year, and that the
ckept us out of war slogan was as false
as il was dangerous while virtually
nleading peace when it knew that war was
unacceptable, the administration did not hit
finger to prepare for the inevitable con-
Aict. The results of its neglect are now
beginning to appear. AT huge costs we
are building huge environments tor the
army, and they will not be ready on time.
AT larger costs, we have been trying to gel
clothing, guns, equipment for the troops
and we shall not have them on time. AT
advanced costs, we are striving to build
ships. 10 construct aeroplanes, to get de-
stroyers. to secure artillery and shells, to
lay in supply Of all things that war needs

and which we might have provided long
since at great saving of money if The adj
ministration had only been honest with the
country and with ITSELF The war will be
fought to a successful end, without doubt,
But that end will be delayed and the price
we shall pay in blood and treasure will be
multiplied because the administration kept
in its own hands the evidence of German
intentions which it should have laid before
Congress many months ago.

Courtesy smooths out difficulties and

The operators of the BELL System
are trained to be patient and polite under
all circumstances, but they will do better

A NEW INDUSTRY.

One OF the biggest projects ahead
for the national government is the
creation of the airplane fleet. Money
for it has already been vcted-$640,-
900, 600 in the special airplane bill.
$54.000.0OO set aside for the aviation
service of the army from the regular
war budget. besides the $4,000, 900
appropriated in August of last year
for army and navy aircraft
In completing this program a COM
paratively new industry of great mag
nitude will have been created in the
United States. Two years ago. when
the government was considering the
establishment of its own plant for the
manufacture of aircraft, private con-
Germs protested that such step would
mean depriving them of their indus
try. But really aircraft making be-
fore the war could not be classified
as an industry; it was more of an ex-
pertinent in turning out product the
uses of which were not certainly de-
fined. The task now before the gov
eminent serves to emphasize the in
significance of the facilities of air
craft making which existed before the
war.
The governments present aeronaut-
ical program, points out writer in
the Nations Business, the organ of
the National Chamber of Commerce.
calls for the rushed construction of
$4,000 airplanes, school machines and
battleplanes. and $4,000 atrplane mo-
tors. It also requires the creation of
specially trained personnel of over
100000 officers and men of whom
700 arctic be filters. 1t will involve
the purchase of training fields, cree
ton of buildings and upkeep of the
personnel which ultimately will be
greater than the United states army
within the continental limits of the
country at the time of the Columbus
raid. Nearly 5000. 900 feet of mahog-
any and black walnut will be needed
for propellers and 5,S5O.O0O yards of
linen will be required for wings. Over
SO, 900, 900 feet of spruce must be cut.
dried and put into airplane bodies.
For each plane 1000 feet of spruce
are needed. of which 200 actually go
into the machine. the other 500 feet
of which has gone to waste or been
used for other purposes.
The half-dozen factories of four
years ago did not contemplate such
requirements. They thought a gov
eminent plant would rob them of
their opportunities. If the govern
ment had then built 100 fabricating
plants and established as many
training fields, says the Oakland
(Calif) Tribune, the country would
have been much better off today than
it is. The demand for aircraft pro-
duction is so great that care must be
exercised not to dislocate other indus
tries, such as the output of motors for
auto trucks

TobOlSk.
BY NIKSAH

Tobolsk, the Siberian city whittier
Nicholas Romanoff. one time car of
all the Russias has been exiled, is the
capital of one of the largest political
divisions in the world. The province
of Tobolsk contains over half a mil
lion square miles of territory. 1t is
thinly settled, and inhabited almost
entirely by Russians, though it is a
Siberian district.
At one time Tobolsk was the capt.
tai of Western Siberia, and an i'm
portant station for the detention of
political prisoners. 1t is fortunately
situated, near the junction of two i'm
portant rivers, one of them the Tobol
from which it takes its name. Not
far away lie the ruins of an even older
city, which dominated the region be-
Tobolsk itself was founded by the
Cossacks, and built largely by the la
Dor of political prisoners and prisoners
of war.
1t has a single cathedral. enclosed
within a high, lowered wall, built in
imitation of the Kremlin in Moscow
by Swedish prisoners of war. The
a m bilious idea of initiating the thous-
and churches of the Kremhn in far
off Siberia never got farther than
Tobolsk is a typical little Siberian
city, with a so-called palace where
the whilom car will probably be
quartered, and wide grass-grown
streets bordered by low wooden
houses. There are a few shops and
banks of more ambitious structure,
for Tobolsk is the center of quite
trade, but on the whole it will be
quite a change from Petrograd-
Tobolsk is the mere beginning of a
city. Some day a great metropolis
will stand there. Tobolsk today is
what st. Louis or Chicago was
hundred years ago. The half million
square miles of the province of
Tobolsk include huge areas of rich
land, altho the northern reaches are
Tapped by the Arctic ocean. Already
a great part of il is sown in wheat
and the cattle are increasing from
year to year. With the building of
railways, these great Siberian plains
will tell the story Of our own West
over again.
