Henry cIay,s Diplomacy.

The following Is an instance OF
Henry Clay's readiness in getting out
of a difficult situation. On one occa.
sion a vote he had given in congress
offended one of his constituents who
unbranded him for it and declared he
would never again support him for
congress.
Meeting this constituent on the court
green Mr.. Clay said TO him: Il am
sorry you will not again support me
for congress because of a vote / gave
on a certain measure. When your
rife misses fire do You throw II
away?" mo" replied the constituent,
II do not throw 1t away" 'What do
you do with il? p asked Mr.. Clay. "Wly,
/ pick my flint and try II again" re-
piled the constituent. swell" said Mr.
Clay, "are you going to throw me away
because have missed fire once? Won't
you let me pick my flint and try againf
Won't you treat me as you do your rifle
when 1t misses fireg
This ready reply satisfied the con-
stituent and completely won him over,
and he was ever after one of Clay's
most faithful supporters in his candi-
dacy for congress.

SHIPPING NEEDS.

With every nerve tense, the war de-
partment is doing all in it's power to
insure the needed transport for
American troops. The warning of
Lord NorthcIiffe backing the state
ment of Sir Joseph Maclery, British
shipping controller, that the United
States will have to provide 100000
of tonnage a year to offset the havoc
of the submarines, is appreciated by
the American government. This coun-
try expects to have, upon the present
basis of estimates, and including the
seized ships. about s.250O00 of tom
mage by the close of 1910 Yet this
prospect does not admit of transport
ing as many as a million of men in
that time. But the people of this coun-
try believe that the shipping board
will do much more than has yet APP
peared upon the surface, says Balti-
more American. They would not be
surprised to see the Unjeed States ac-
quire under some form of agreement
all the seized German ships in South
American ports. And they would not
be surprised should this country make
agreement for the creation of ship
building plants at South American
ports, so that every considerable port
upon the continent may be marked by
plants to build ships, the necessity for
which bears as heavily upon Latin
American as North American inter-
ests. This country has but begun the
ship-building program that viii great
ly expand as the work continues.

outrage of many Even IL in any of
these cases the German claim should

international Law Overthrow
BY J. B. WINsLow. Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court
OF Wisconsin


Few probably appreciate the pro-
found shock TO civilization that would
result from general overthrow Of in
ternational law
International law is civilized moral
ity applied to the relations between
nations.
The horrors which attended bar
barian warfare are well known. Such
warfare knew no law and no restric-
lions upon frightfulness. Every per-
son, armed or Hnarmed, in the eneply's
country, was regarded as a combatant
and Was subject to torture. slavery. or
death. All property was subject to
plumber and destruction Rapine. MUIR
der. pillage, and ruin marked its prog
ress everywhere.
During the last three centuries, how
ever, civilized states have come TO rec
ognize certain fundamental principles
which may be truly called the very
foundation of international law as ap-
plicable to a state of war; namely, Cd
that Independent nations have equal
rights regardless of size, position. or
resources, (2) that treaties between
nations are to be observed rntil prop
erly abrogated, (3) that war is waged
only by armed forces of the nation,
not by or against civilians, and (4)
that only such destruction OF life and
property as is necessary to accomplish
the purpose Of the war can be jusIi-
fed
These principles have been en-
bodied in treaties, and within the last
half century, have been analysed,
codified, and specifically applied to
wartime conditions, by world confer
ences held at the Hague in 1899 and
in 1907, in which practically all the
civilized nations of the world, includ-
ing Germany. participated
To all of the important conclusions
Germany gave her assent That she
has grossly violated many of the prin-
ciples laid down there can be no doubt.
Let us set down the gravest of these
violations, passing by, however, the
siekening charges of murder, rape, and
fiendish cruelty To defenseiess eiVili-
ans, about which there may be contro-
yessy though the proof seems very con
vincing.
Let us take rather the violations
which are either admitted or proved
by impregnable evidence.
First and foremost stands the viola
ton of the neutrality of Belgium which
Prussia and other great powers had
guaranteed in 1889. Here we have no
need of proof The plea of Guilty
has already been entered. Bethmann-
Holweg. the Imperial Chancellor, said
to the Reichstag on August 4. 1914,
"Our troops have occupied Luxembourg
and perhaps have already entered Bel
gian territory; Gentlemen, this is a
breach of International law"
Second, tie bombardment by ships
and Zeppelins of unfortified and unde-
Tended towns, villages, and even hos
pitals. Article 25 of the chapter on
the laws and customs of war ON land,
adopted by the Hague Conference of
1907, and assented to by Germany, for
bids such bombardments.

The best food advice that has been
given the public lately is Easy on the
food panic" It came from Buffalo
wholesalers. who added Tell the
public that there's plenty of food and
to stop rushing the groceries and buy
ing supplies in neeedlessly large guam
titles" Easy on the food panic Don't
get excited over food shortages, says
Buffalo Express. There has not been
any serious food shortage as yet.
There is not likely TO be any serious
food shortage. Such a thing as that
raid on local salt supplies on Friday
would be ridiculous If it did not have
possibly serious aspect. Do not buy
to hoard; buy for normal needs. Just
remember that everybody cannot lay
in supply of this. that or the other,
to last six months or three months or
two months. without creating a ficti-
tious shortage In these war times we
must be normai-normaI in our occu-
pations, normal in our pleasures, nor
NAL in all our activities, and above all
else normal In the purchase of Our
supplies. In other words, let us be
sane.
