artificial structure Of peace with its
inherited and documented law

The effect which any military action
may have in overcoming the enemy
is Of decisive significance in determln-
ing its moral value. Here IL is quite
immaterial whether the anticipated ef-
feet can actually be attained; the
question is only whether the person
responsible for the action was entitled
10 expect a successful result. Suffer
ing and injury inflicted upon the enc
my are the indispensable methods Of
bending and breaking his will.
Military action can be regarded as
barbarous and worthy Of condemnation
only when it is taken without any such
purpose or when il is out OF an pro-
portion 10 the purpose TO be achieved.
What seems harshness and rigOr IS
really the opposite, il IL is adopted 10
force the adversary 10 sue for peace.
Forbesrance and mildness have the ef-
feet Of cruelty, If they disregard the
object OF war and delay the conclusion
Of peace.
Rights which the war power has 10
respect can exist only in so FAR as they
are expressly conceded, recognized or
maintained by that power d.
II the war power admits duties, it I'm
poses them upon itself by virtue Of
its own supremacy; IL does not regard
them as imposed upon itself by any
external authority.
II must, Of course, be conceded that
states may impose upon their war
power obligations which limit its ac-
tion permanently or in particular
cases. In this matter, how
ever. states cannot permit themselves
to be guided by general principles Of
law. They must necessarily omit from
any rules that they adopt everything
that may possibly check or impair The
freedom and effectiveness OF military
action.
Unconditional freedom Of military
action in war is an indispensable CON
dtion OF military success. This is the
principle which must be invoked from
a military point OF view against every
effort to fetter action by an interna-
tional law Of war.

A BIRD WITH HANDS.
Young of Hoactzin of British
Guiana Posses Free Claw at End
of Wing Used in Climbing.

| Los Angeles Times: In the
forests OF British Guiana lives the
hoactzin, 4 singular bird, whose
youth posses a free claw at the end
Of each wing, which they use almost
as the monkey uses his hands in tree
climbing.
The nest Of the hoactzin is in a
tree overhanging the wates, and
the young, unlike most birds, are
active from the first.
The outermoSt quill feathers OF
the wing, which might hamper the
free use Of the claws. do not grow
much until the rest of the wing is
5troug enough to make climbing
less necessary. They grow out, and
the claws are absorbed The adult
bird does not need them. Should
a young hoactzin iall into the water
it makes for the shore and seizes a
branch, up which it quickly climbs.
It has been pointed out that the
young Of certain game birds show
evidence OF having formerly posses
sed similar structures on the wings,
It IS therefore inferred that they
had 4 similar habit. and that in
former times they built their nests
and reared their Young in trees.
I'm this group, including the barn
yard fowl-the quill feathers OF the
wing grow in the same order as in
the hoactzin; that Is, the outer ones
DELAY their growth until the Others
have reached a certain stage. Traces
OF the frees claws. moreover, can
still be found in the embryo. And
it is interesting in this connection
TO remember that even now the
pheasant occasionally builds and
matches its Young in tree.
The most interesting point. per-
haps, in connection with the free
claw of the hoactzin is that they
recall the remarkable structure OF
the earliest bird vet known to man.
ArchaeoptcryN literally the ancient
wing was a bird about the size of
a rock. 1t resembed the hoactzin
IN having free claws to its wings
and perhaps used them in climbing.
But while the hoactzin discards its
claws in adult life, the archaeopteryX
seems to have retained them.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Police and
fire officials today were invcstigat-

morning in the New Willard Hotel

many OF them OF national prom

GASOLINE.

The gasoline situation turns out to
be rather simple. The production is
not quite sufficient for the normal
demand at home plus the abnormal
demand abroad.
In the winter we can get along
very well, because the natural cur
taiiment OF pleasure-riding saves
enough gasoline for export require
ments, and establishes a surplus be
sides 1t was so last winter, and
will be so the coming winter. In
the summer we consume more than
is produced, making deficit.
Ordinarily the winter surplus
would make up the summer deficit.
That i, no longer true. 1t is only
a question, then how soon in the
year that deficit becomes serious,
and how it is to be met when it
comes.
This year The deficit might have
hit us hard in September or Octo-
Der il the fuel administration had
not acted before it was really upon
us. We are now saving the neces-
sary fuel by having the greater part
OF the nation refrain from using

to be proving effective. 1t arouses
considerable criticism, however,

state.

William Hale Thompson for the SEN
atoral nomination, they renominat-

admits that "All the energy OF the

Democratic candidate so strong and

Final returns from the recent pr
