CENTER FUR MAKING 1T
 ALL KINDS SILK

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Thei United States has become the silk manufacturing center of the world as result of the war, which has stimu- lated manufacture of silk here and in the far East at the expense of Europe.
 A study of the silk industry, the first official inquiry of the kind, has just been completed by the tariff com mission.
 Japan continues to lead the world in the production of silk, while the United States, first among the nations in it's manufacture, does not produce single pound of the material. France continues the chief European manu- facturer of silk and the principal source of American imports, Japan ranking second
 The annual requirements of the American silk industry are 20,000 tons of silk and silk waste, 10000 tons of cotton and other yarns, and 1000 tons of metallic tin for weighting. Most striking of all the developments due to the war has been the expansion of the spun-silk industry. The gov ernment is requiring vast amounts of coarse silk cloth, made from silk noil, for making powder bags for the big guns.
 Many finer varieties of silk manu- factures are not made in this country or else are manufactured in very small quantities. Switzerland SUD- plies practically all of the silk bolting cloth needed by the flour millers of the world. Hatter's plush, from which are made mems silk hats, comes from France. Silk laces, silk netting, silk embroideries, veils and veilings, rib bons and handkerchief material largely are imported. In alb other branches of the industry, even fine wearing apparel and velvets, the im- ports are relatively small compared to the total consumption.
 Habutas, of which silk handker- chiefs are made, a soft, smooth, plain woven fabric of pure silk, is the largest single item of silk brought from abroad. It has been a Japanese spe- cialty for more than 1000 years.

MAIL CONTRACTS BEING HELD UP
 FUR MORE PAY

WASHINGTON, May 21.-A dead lock over mail contracts involving the pOstoffice department and the Inter- island Steam Navigation Company, which has a monopoly of transporta- tion between the islands of the Ha- waiian group, may result in applica- tion for congressional action, accord ing to Otto Praeger, second assistant postmaster general
 Four-year contracts for carryng the mails between the islands are expir- ing, and when new ones were pro- posed in February the department found that acceptance of the bids would entail an annual payment of more than 100 per cent over the $40,- 900 formerly charged for the service.
 The islands, scattered over several degrees of latitude and longitude above the equator, are still being served, but the government has re- fused to pay the new price, and has offered instead 25 per cent increase, and the company has refused that.
 "As a remedy the department is considering asking congress for legis- lation which will compel transporta- tion companies to accept mail for car riage at the rates made for carrying express" MT. Prager said. "The Ha- waiian situation is typical of others arising in seaboard sections of the United States. If we had now power to compel the Hawaiian island car riers to accept the mail as express, that situation could be cleared up rapidly.
 "Also the same power, if granted by congress, would operate to get cheaper service elsewhere in the United States"
 Hawaiian mails are increasing in volume, and in number of points of destination to be served, the depart ment records show. Mail goes by the transpacific steamships to Hono- lulu, and thence is distributed by the smaller ships making the interi-isIand passages.

international Law Overthrow
By J. B. WINSLOW Chief Justice of 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 vii
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 fired upon German soldiers. The
best known case is the destruction of
Louvain in Belgium, and the murder
of hundreds of it's inhabitants, 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
| ernment would still be without proper
| excuse. For the furnishing of an en-
f.! tire city by fire and sword for the acts
of individuals is contrary to the rules
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 with 1T
warning, and regardless of whether
| they were carrying contra band of war
or not.
Eighth, the murder (for this it is)
of civilian neutrals rightfully 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 POI tiOnS 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 architectu g, in viola
tion Of A~ticle Sc of the Hague rules.
Eleventh, the wholesale r0bbing Of
the funds and property Of banks and
private individu Is, in violation of Ar
ticle 53 of the Hague rules
Twelfth, the carrying on of plots
and conspiracies by their diplomatic
agents in this country while we we
still at peace MT merely against other
countries, but against our own coun-
try as wen.

Few probably appreciate the pro-
found shock to civilization that would
result from a general overthrow of in
ternational law.
Intel national 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-
tiOnS 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
plunder and destruction. Rapine,. MUIR
der, pillage, and ruin marked it's 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, (D
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 analyzed,
cOdifed, 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
sickening charges Of murder rape, and
fiendish cruelty to defenseless civili-
ans, about which there may be cOntro-
veTsy 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 Roichstag on August 4, 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 ships
and Zeppelins of unf0rtifed and unde-
Tended towns, villages, and even hos
pitfalls. Article 25 Of the chapter on
the laws and customs of war on land,
adopted by the Hague Conference of
1907, and assentcd to by Germany, for
bids such bomba~dmcnts

WINTER CARE FOR CHICKENS
Every Preparation Made to Insure
Fowls With Proper Supply OF
Food Will Be Repaid.

In the winter the care of poultry is
quite task and every preparation
that is made to reduce work and in
sure the birds with proper supply of
clean food will be well repaid. ON
the general farm the cattle, sheep and
hogs will doubtless come first and too
often the hens are neglected. The
only way to insure proper treatment
for the poultry flock is to equip the
house with feeding appliances that
will enable the farmer to care for the
flock without wasting time. All of the
hoppers can be made on the farm
from packing boxes or scrap lumper
and when once constructed the job Is
done and the hens will pay for the
labor many times.

Danger! Blow Your Nose Cautiously

A very large proportion of the deaf
people owe their affi ction to SO simple
and avoidable a cause as improper
blowing of their noses This seems al
most impossible to believe and yet it IS
the testimony of leading specialists In
diseases of the aar. The ear has very
| few disorders which do not arise in the
nose, with which it is connected by a
sort of blind alley passage called he
eustachian tube
You will recall in the construction of
child's drum there is small hole In
| the side to equalize the air pressure on
the inside and outside of the head If
one were to place "A powerful pump at
! this opening In the drum and suddenly
force air in side the head would be-
come stretched in consequence. Re
peating this over and over would soon
destroy the elasticity of the drum head.
Now, the estachan tube, eXtendit G
from the nose to the ear, has the same
purpose as the hole In the side of the
drum. The drum proper, in this case,
is the ear drum, very delicate MEM
brane. One side of the ear drum is eX-
posed to the atmosphere through the
external ear. On the other side, the
estracian tube, leading to the nose,
equalizes the pressure of the air on the
inside of the drum Hearing depends
upon the vibrations of the ear drum in
/ which is comparable to the vibrating
disk of telephone or photograph.
| When the nose is blown in a manner
which closes the nostrils, air is forced
down the internal or estrachian tube
with sufficient force to stretch the
membrane of the ear considerably
After such a method has been persisted
in for years, elasticity is destroyed and
the ear drum loses its power to vibrate
sensitively in response to sounds.
H Noses should be blown gently and
never with the nostrils closed, not even
one at time A child should be taught
that making horn of his nose destroys
the drum in his ear He should know
that his capacity for friendship, sue
cess in business, enjoyment of life's
greatest pleasures and privileges de-
pends upon his maintaining his hearing.

GOOD HENHOUSE EQUIPMENT
Low Table for Water and MIX Is
Handy-Hopper for Dry Mash Is
of Much Importance.

Keeping the flock in good condition
is more easily accomplished If the
house is furnished with good equip
ment. An oblong table about two fee,
high and long enough for the water
pail and a crock of sour milk will be
useful in protecting the receptacles
from the litter on the floor.
A large feed hopper which will hold
a weeks supply of dry mash is i'm
portant. Small hoppers for feeding
grit, oyster shell and charcoal are nec-
essary.
An effort TO get along without the
hoppers will always result in wasted
feed or a poor condition of the flock
If any of the necessary ingredients are
not furnished.

DEMOCRATS AT
FIGHTING STAGE
Whetstones Much in Demand
in Advance of Meeting of
StSate Committeeman

Indications were multiplying to-
day that the Democracy of Penn
sylvania would stage two separate
shows in conjunction with the BIZ
ennial meeting for reorganization of
the State Committee. This will be
Judge Eugene c. Bonniwelrs day and
tomorrow will be the Palmer -McCor-
mick day.
The judge an dhis friends will be
here this afternoon and complete ar
rangements for a mass meeting and
reception to the Judge at the Dau-
phin county courthouse. This means
that they realize that the other side
has "sewed up" the state committee
and that If the judge wishes to get
his personal views before the peo-
pie he will have to present his plat
form at the mass meeting. To-mor-
row the official body will do as the
state leaders who enjoy the federal
sunshine desire.
An interesting slant upon the
strength of the Palmer Mccormick
faction was given to-day when 1t
was learned that eX-Judge w. Wes-
colt, of New Jersey, who presented
the name of Woodrow Wilson at two
national conventions, would not be
here tonight to be the orator at the
Bonniwell show. No explanation of
the failure of the Judge to appear
has been vouchsafed and the Bonni-
well people will not ak about it.
Warren NanDyke, secretary of the
Democratic state committee. sat tight
to-day on his claim that at least
ieghty members of the state commit
tee would be favorable to the reor-
ganizers. This means that If the pres
ent plans hold George r. Mclean. of
Wilkes Barre. will be elected state
chairman and the desires of Palmer
and Mccormick as to a platform will
be put through despite any protests
of Bonniwell and his friends. This
grip of the reorganizers and the
judge may be given the courtesy of
naming a campaign committee. He
wants the whole thing, contending
to 1t. There will be many words and
much heartburnings at the state COM
mittee meeting. but it will end at
State Chairman Kuffey and Ma
tional Committeeman Palmer will be
along tonight some time when the
bulk of the state committeeman will
arrive. Two interesting arrivals to-
day were William j. Bremen, the AL
legheny leader. one of the shrewdest
of them all, and j. J. Breen, the Bon
niwell field marshal. Mr.. Bremen
was with Joe Guffey, but is now of
head of the ticket should be given the
organization, which needless to say,
is not at all the way the Palmer Nc
Cormick people think. Mr.. Brsleen
clined to be more observant than
talkative.
The meeting tonight in the court
house will be started by b. f. Meyer
at 8 o'clock. and there will be a flow
of oratory and enunciation of Jeffer-
