Since the telegram was received
stating that President Wilson dec1ar-
ed war at three q. m, few days ago,
we have been wondering what brand
of early risers he uses.

blessed with more of that necessity

Didn't Need Forwarding
S. H. Cox received a letter a few
days ago from his father, G. NJ. Cox,
at Hays, Kansas, with the following
instructions on the back of the en-
velope: ''P. NJ, If Texas is now a
part of Mexico, please forward this
letter"
Of coures the letter needed no for
warding on that score, and when
Texas gets to be a part of Mexico,
1t will be useless to write any Texans
anywhere. Remember the Alamo
Remember San Jacinto! Remember

We blieve only a few people in
Western Kansas understand the mag
nitude of the the Fort Hays Kansas
School and the Experiment
Station. Through the Courtesy of A.
l.. Clark and son, of the Hays Free
Press, we were permitted last Sunday,
TO take in the Station and Experiment
grounds and to say that we were sur
prIsed at the magnitude of the affair
is putting it very mildly. 1t is worth
the time and expense to any farmer
IN Western Kansas to make the trip
to Hays, to visit this immense insti-
tuition with its wonderful panorama
of exhibits and to get a line on the
varied ideas advanced in agriculture
and stock raising. We also visited
the fine new Sheridan Coliseum in
course of construction and the Fair
grounds, Clusters Island, and other
spots of interest. The couple of spare
hours we had were certainly filed to
everf1oWing with entertainment and
We came away with a much better
of what this institu-
ton is to Western Kansas. The Fort
Hays Kansas Normal School is really
a Kansas Beauty--Oakley Graphic.
No Expulsion of Germans
The position of foreigners of enc
my nationality, and enemy property,
II time of war discussed by Edwin NJ.
BOrchard of the National City Com
P1ny in the Forthcoming issue of
the Americas, the monthly publica-
ton Of the National City Bank of
New York. Mr.. Borchard formerly
Of the State Department, and author
OF the standard work, Diplomatic
Protection of Citizens Abroad" re-
views the status of both aliens and
their property IN time of war.
During the nineteenth century,"
says Mr.. Porchard, ''the theory gained
ground steadily that war primarily
Z relation between states and should,
so far as possible, leave unaffected the
rights of person and property of nom
combatants. While in strict law war
makes enemies of the subjects of the
respective belHgerents and authoriz-
IS their expulsion from the territory
OF enemy states, q network of treaties
has established the practical rule that
aliens, national of any enemy state,
may continue to reside providing they
maintain a neutral position similar
to that of nationals Of neutral states.
Statues in the United States have
confirmed the right of expulsion en-
masse, in wartime, but this right, even
apart. from treaty, has rarely been
exercised IN recent times.
In the case of merchants and COM
houses" continues Mr. Bor-
chard's article, nationals of an enc
my state, the United States has con-
Guided treaties with most Of the in
pOrtant foreign countries granting a
limited period of time, from six
months to a year, for the liquidation
of their business and the removal of
their property; while in the case of
PERSONS engaged in peaceful occupa-
TONS such as farmers, mechanics,
artisans, scholars and persons IN SINH
iar employment, provision IS usually
made for their unmolested resi-

Foreigners VIII Sell the Goods

true that the man who can offer goods
