cans call Beaver Lakes" The varIey
nestles against the very backbone of
the continental divide, 10000 feet
above sea level, and from every side
it is approachable only ~ long and
toilsome forest travel, except in win
ter, when it is not apprOachable at all.
The hollow in the mountains crest Is
dotted with irregular rows and minia-
lure ranges of hills, two and three
hundred feet high, that make up a
most bewildering topography.
In among these hills the beaver have
built them city. The landscape is
ideal for the building of their dams.
and by throwing barriers Of stick and
mud from hillside to hillside they have
created a dozen big lakes, some OF
them half a mile long. Along the
shores of these lakes are built the
beavers lodges. There are probably a
thousand beaver in this community,
reigning in undisputed supremacy over
their c1Suntsln domain. They are shy

prise them cutting the quaking aspen

Far up in the Businesses of the

most inaccessible hooks that remain
In this country today, what is proba-
bly, the largest existing colony of beav-
er, has established itself for a last
stand.
The beaver was once one of the most
abundant of our American animals, but
the ease with which he was trapped
and the value of his fur soon drove
him far on the road TO extinction. Soon
only the most stringent of protective
legislation was able to save him, but
now he seems to be coming bach"
and wherever he finds a favorable To-
cation he Increases rapidly.
There is no better place in the world

PHONES AND FOLKS

Many little courtesies and acts of
consideration there are to which
twentieth century men and women
need to pay attention. But none is
more needed than regard for the
feelings and time of others in the
use of the telephone.
The telephone is a huge conven-
fence. 1t is a time saver 1t has
become indispensable in modern bust
ness and social life. But its abuse
is great-so much so that busy men
and women often wonder if it is not
as much a nuisance as a blessing.
Its very convenience makes it a
handicap.
BY use of the telephone thousands
of selfish persons are enabled to get
in touch with and trespass upon the
time of busy men and women, who
could not otherwise be imposed upon.
Such persons are enabled to call busy
people and not only keep them from
transacting business. but prevent the
line from being used for urgent mat
tiers. One Of the greatest annoyances
peated Line busy" when one wants
to get person on a matter of urgent
Importance.
After all, why should one person
call up another, and without know
ing or trying to learn if he is busy,
infiict long talks upon him to the
possible serious detriment of his
work? What real difference is there
between that and intruding oneself
in person? How much more consid-
crate it would be, and how much
more gracious, to inquire first if there
is time for a conversation! And how
much more courteous to suggest a
later call if the other is engaged now!
a few days ago a very busy man
was called up by lady who at once
volunteered to telephone later if he
were busy then. This was the first
consideration of the kind he had re-
ceived in months. So much gratifed
was he that, though then in a con-
ference, he said he would be glad
to have her explain her mission at
once. She did so, and he was still
more gratified to learn that her pur-
pose was TO inform him of matter
vi NuhiIC III Which, he was
deeply interested. This busy man
carries with him still the most pleas
ant impression of that lady's thought
full consideration. and he says he is
going to be just as thoughtful of
other busy folk.
In our use of the telephone we need
to have more consideration of this
kind for the feelings of others. Long
conversations, commonplace visit
ing" over the telephone, should be
barred entirely. Ii we will. we can
make the telephone the great bless
ing it was intended to be instead of
the unnecessary annoyance il fire.

The oldest provision of international
law is that war vessel, destroying a
merchant vessel, either enemy or neu-
trail, must provide for the safety of
passengers and crew. This the sub
marine cannot do. In some instances
submarine has purposely destroyed
them. This was deliberately advised
by Count Luxburg, German Ambassa-
dor to Argentina.
The United States recognized the
British blockade as legal The legal
ity of a blockade depends on proper
notice, on it's being effective" and
on it's being conducted according to
recognized rules. The British block
ade was duly announced, has been al
most 100 per cent effective, and, with
few exceptions, is conducted as was
our own blockade of the South in the
Civil War. Some disputed points
have been agreed upon; some have
not. None involve life; the evidence
for all exists. Great Britain has Of
fered to submit doubtful cases to ar
bitration. They will finally go before
the Hague Court, and the property in
volved will be given to whoever makes
the best legal case.
The United States holds the German
blockade illegal; because it has not
been one per cent effective, because it
is conducted with absolute disregard
of international law, and because it
violates the first principles of human
ity, upon which international law is
founded. The German government did
not defend its practices as legal, but
argued that its violations of law were
in retaliation for violations by Great
Britain, and that they were justified by
necessity.
The United States denies that any
act of one of two fighting nations
justifies the other in illegal actions
against neutrals. The neutral MAIN
tains his case separately against each;
each must be judged by its own acts.
If one nation is allowed to cast In
ternational law to the winds, because
it thinks its opponent has, law ceases
to have any meaning.
Still more destructive is the doc
trine of necessity. Law admits the
argument of self-defense against the
charge of murder, but in that case
the court judges the evidence. IL
every individual or nation is allowed
to determine what is necessary, they
will constantly decide that anything
convenient is necessary. Their own
opinion becomes the guide of action,
their wish is substituted for law.
Our dispute with Great Britain has
been conducted with recognition of the
supremacy of law. Differences Of
opinion are being determined by the
regular processes of law. Germany has
overridden the fundamentals of law.
She has made it a contest of strength
alone. If she succeeds, law between
nations vanishes. The only way of
maintaining our rights, now or in the
future, is to deal with her as law
abiding citizens and nations have al
ways dealt with brigands and pirates;
that is by force.

international Law Overthrow
By B. WINSLOW, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of Wisconsin

Third, the use of poisonous gases
and liquid fire in direct violation of
Article % of the rules which forbid
such methods of warfare.
Fourth, the levying of vast fines and
penalties upon cities, towns, and viii
lagos, amounting in many instances to
millions of dollars, in pretended pun
iShment for the most trivial acts of in
dividuals, in violation Of Article so of
the Hague rules which prohibits such
penalties.
Fifth, the destruction by fire of vii
lagos and cities, and the killing of
their inhabitants, young and old, men
and women alike, because (as was
claimed) some of their inhabitants
had fred upon German soldiers. The
best known case is the destruction of
Louvain in Belgium, and the murder
of hundreds of its inha bitants, in
August, 1914 But this was only one
outrage of many. Even if in any of
these cases the, German claim should
turn out to be true the German Gov
eminent would still be without proper
excuse. For the Furnishing of an en-
tire city by fire and sword for the acts

which that government had solemnly
agreed to obey.
Sixth, the fOrcible removal of a
quarter of million of men and women
from Belgium and France to Germany,
and compelling them to work in fac
tories and labor camps at work of di-
rect or indirect military value.
Seventh, the sinking of neutral
freight and passenger ships without
warning, and regardless of whether
they were carrying contraband of war
or not
Eighth, the murder (for this it is)
Of civilian neutrals rigEtfully travel
ing on passenger ships; whether the
ships be enemy or neutral, all the laws
Of God and man require that the lives
of passengers and crew be first pro-
tected
Ninth, the destruction of fruit trees
and Of all private property in the
evacuated portions of France, render
ing it a desert of death, even when no
military advantage was gained thereby.
Tenth, the destruction of the
choicest cathedrals and other treas
ures of medieval architecture, in viola
ton of Article Sc of the Hague rules.
Eleventh, the wholesale robbing of
the funds and property of banks and
private individuals, in violation of Ar
ticle So of the Hague rules
Twelfth, the carrying on of plots
and cOnspiracies by their diplomatic
agents in this country while we were
| still at peace, not merely against other
countries, but against our own coun-
| try as well.
If these crimes are crowned by final
victory in the war, international law
| necessarily ceases to exist
Why? Because never again can
confidence be placed in a nations
promise. This means the turning of
every state into an armed camp, and a
world in which perpetual dread of
! ones neighbOr reigns supreme.

Few probably appreciate the pro-
found shock to civilization that would
result from a 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 we'll known. Such
warfare knew no law and no restric-
tons upon frightfulness. Every per-
son, armed or unarmed, in the enemy'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, Q)
that independent nations have equal
rights regardless of size, position, or
resources, (2) that treaties between
nations are to be observed until 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 justi-
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 ali 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
sickening charges of murder, rape, and
fiendish cruelty to defenseless civil
ans, about which there may be contro
versy 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 nc
need of proof. The plea of Guilty
has already been entered. Bethmann-
Holweg, the Imperial Chancellor, sale
to the Reichstag on August A, 1914
Our troops have occupied Luxembourg
and perhaps have already entered Bel
gian territory; Gentlemen, this is {
breach of international law"
Second, the bombardment by ship:
and Zeppelins of unfortified and unde
Tended towns, villages, and even hos
pitfalls. Article 25 of the chapter OF
the laws and customs of war on land
adopted by the Hague Conference O.
1907, and assented to by Germany, for
bids such commandments.

Drum MaIor Necessary.

Indispensable is the drum major Of
a rural brass band, and the envy of the
small boy is he as well. This func-
tionary is about as serviceable as a
flgurehead on a battleship, writes Him
In Cartoons Magazine, yet his duties
are beyond estimation in keeping the
tubas and trombones from stumbling
into mud puddles and guiding the al
legged musicians past refreshment en-
porlumS. His success rests on the ex-
tent of his ability to twirl the stick
over three-story buildings and catch it
behind his back on its descent. He Is
TO the band what the monkey is 10 a
hand-organ. All eyes are upon him
while the ears feast on the music. Big
city bands often roam about the streets
unescorted hy drum major and feel
not at all disconnected by his absence.
but a country band would not deem
itself At TO be seen on parade without
this distinguished appendage.

Davies for United States Senator

Joseph Z. Davies, chairman OF the
Federal Trade Commission, and Tor
mer secretary of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, is being spoken OF
for the democratic nomination for
United States Senator in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Davies is resident OF Madison
and has been closely associated with
the Federal administration since the
beginning of President Wilson's first
term. He practiced law in his home
State until he entered the 1912 cam
paign and as chairman OF the import
and Federal Trade Commission has
been a valued aid to the admlnlstra-
ton. His associates on the commits
sion were Edward N. Hurley, William
]. Harris, Will H. Parry and George
Rublee. Mr.. Hurley recently resigned
from the commission to become head
of the shipping board.
No Senatorial contest in the Union
will attract more attention next year
than that which shall result in the
election of a successor to the late
Senator Husting. Wisconsin's reputa-
ton for loyalty is under cloud. The
cloud is La Folletteism. When Presl-
dent Lincoln called for volunteers,
Wisconsin, fiedgling of the nation, re
rlied with 100000 marching men.
There is no reason for believing the
State is now an apostate, or that its
large German-American and Scandl-
navian population does not adhere to
the Americanism of Willard and
Schurz.
The loyalty and capacity of Mr..
Davies are unquestioned. He is ia
miliar with the big needs and big OBJ
legations of the Government. We do
not know of a man in Wisconsin whose
selection for the Husting succession
would be more potent in assuring State
and Nation that La Folletteism is
plague and not an expression of the
vital citizenship of Wisconsin.-Peoria
