THE LAW OF WAR"

ABRAHAM LINCoLN's opinion Of
the war power Of the President Of the
United States as Commander in CHIEF
of the Army and Navy is clearly de.
fined in the letter Of August &c, 1868
to James C. Conkling, which was a
message to the Springfield Conven-
ton:
You dislike the Emancipation
Proclamation, and perhaps would
have it retracted. You a it is
unconstitutional. / think diff
ferently. / think the Constitu-
ton invests its Commander in
Chief with the law of war in time
Of war.
And Lincoln was right. Nor is il
within the province or power of Con-
gress, by statute or otherwise, to take
from the President or transfer from
the President this claw Of war in time

(By Associated Press)

London, May 4-"Barbed wire dis
ease" is the British slang for nervous
breakdown. Turkish officials that
have heard the expression translate it
literally. Wherefore the Turkish gov
ernment in ratifying an agreement
with the British for an exchange Of
prisoners, stipulated that rlain wire
should be substituted for barbed wire
around prison lamps for Turks in the
Engist territory.
The Turks, it is said, consented to
the exchange because there was one
prisoner they wanted to get
back. The swap was negotiated on
the basis of 1000 English prisoners
for 1900 Turks.

-W.S.S.-

Toxic, May i3.-(Correspondence Of
The Associated Press.)-The Japan
csc chapter of the American Red Cross
has been organized by the election of
the Amer lean ambassador, Roland 5.
Morris. as chairman, with council
composed of twelve Americans, three
from each of the four principal dis
tricts of the country. S. H. Ellsworth,
Ct New York, stationed at Yokohama,
vas elected vice chairman; E. n. Fra
zar, of Toxic, treasurer; Mr. Phelps,
of the Y. NJ. c. A, executive secreta-
ry. Branches of the American Red
Cross are being organized in Toxic,
Yokohama, Kobe and Seoul.
The Red Cross Society of Japan,
which of course has territorial jurls-
diction in the Empire of Japan, gave
its cordial consent to the organization
which is to take over the work which
has been vigorously carried on by the
American residents since the United
states entered the war.
/ Early last summer American resi-
dents organized themselves into what
was known as the American War Re-
lief committee and up to the present
time have been actively engaged in
the rolling of bandages and making of
garments and other supplies for the
wounded at the front. Some $4,000
yen has been subscribed by the Amer
lean community in Toxic and Yoko-
hama and proportionate amount in
Kobe; while in Korea Americans have
devoted one day a month earnings to
the cause.
In all $4,000 has also been sub
scribed to Liberty Bonds. When it is
considered that the Christmas drive
for the Red Cross resulted in obtain
