WILLIAMsTowN, Mass, Aug. 12.-Cod-
ification of International law as "the
natural complement and almost indis-
pensable accompaniment of an Interna-
tional Court of Justice" was advocated
by Viscount James Bryce in lecture
before the Institute of Politics at Will
Jams College tonight.
An association should be created by
the civilized States, he declared. to codify
and amend the rules of international
law. work in which "the United States
by its detachment from European con-
troversies would be especially fitted to
take leading part"
Speaking Of the many questions which
arise out of international relations Wis.,
oou.. Erycs s4A;
TO deal with rnese sub3cc,s, as ,rvss
as to rev Use and reestablish when re-
vised the rules of International law that
were accepted and usually obeyed be-
fore 1914, there ought to be some or
ganized body capable of undertaking
the work. Non-oficial associations of
jurists from many countries have for
years past been occupied with 1t and
have rendered eminent services. Might
not some new e1eooia.Ion be now created
by the civilized statSs- INFESTED by them
with authority to amend, and codify
when amended, those rules which they
fra best?
'TnternatlsS>l law is part of the
machinery which exists for keeping the
peace of the world, since 1t embodies
principles by which States have agreed
to be guided and which since they are
of general application all may without
loss of dignity submit to. A rule sup
ported by public opinion and the breach
of which exposes the offender to a legal
or practical outlawry may be strong
enough to have the force OF the law.
IF we turn over the leaves of a
treatise on the subject Of International
law we find that most of the positive
doctrines laid down are concerned with
war, because it Is in war or in con-
nection with war that most of the
questions arise which it deals with. This
was to be expected, fcc war Is the evil
which international law is meant to
cure or mitigate or If possible avert.
Unfortunately the rules for the con-
duct Of war are just those which are
most liable to be disregarded when war
comes. because belligerent State Is
tempted to resort to every measure
which promises success, the prospect of
immediate gains to its own arms over
riding either moral considerations or the
faith due to treaties or the fear Of the
public opinion of the world.
when one Power has disregarded
rules previously accepted the other
belligerents feel that they cannot fight
with one hand tied and that their enemy
who had first broken the rules ought not
to be allowed to profit by that breach.
Thus in the late war all the Powers
began by observing the rules laid down
at the Hague conferences against the
use of poisoned gases and the lombard
ment Of unfortifed towns. but when one
belligerent had violated those rules the
other belligerents followed. pleading that

Hints for Housekeepers.
Buffers and Cooks Allotted to the
Wealthy Alone.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Having
spent some thirty years as butler in
American households I must protest
against these letters from so-called
housekeepers, especially the one from
lady at Newport whose husband Is
a wage Garner.
Let me advise her respectfully not to
initiate the wealthy by hiring cooks and
walters. Two good maids-laundry sent
out--should suffice any good house
keeper OF moderate means. supplemented
by cook on special occasions. A good
cook at $40 is cheap and has been for
fifteen years. If she Is entrusted with
the housekeeping and you wish to keep
her 800 is not too much.
AS to q butler, try to do without him
unless you like to spend money.

On the Ridge.

From the Nation aud the Athcndeun.
Below the ridge a raven flew
And we heard the lost curlcw
Mourning out of sight below.
Mountain tops were touched with snow ;
Even the long dividing plain
Showed no wealth of sheep or grain,
But fields of boulders lay like corn
And ravens croak was shepherds horn
To slow cloud shadow strayed across
A pasture of thin heath and moss.
The North Wind rose saw him press
with lusty force against your dress,
Moulding your body's inward grace
And streaming off from your set face.
So now no longer flesh and blood
But poised in marble thought you stood.

The grass along my garden path
Is darkly green and tall,
And strewn with gems when on its blades
The morning sunbeams fall:
sapphires and emoralds, topazes
And rubies catch the light.
And diamonds of purest ray
Enchant my dazzled sight.
For when the veil of night conceals
The eartlrs unsightly scars
The angel of the dew descends
The stairway OF the stars,
And with lavish hand. behold!
Goes scattering up and down
On either side the winding path
The Jewels from her crown.

manner of economies in order to pay

that a housekeeper who cuts out the

The law of supply and demand ap-

A Rockefeller Goes to China.

A Jesuit missionary in China who
recently contributed to the magazine
Ace Maria remarked that the name
of JoHN D. RocEEFELIxB was about as
well known in China 90 ip the United
States. In every part of the land his
oil company long ago made his name
familiar to the natives, and, more re-
Gently, the fame OF his philanthropic
work in China had spread among her
people.
China mas never seen the older
ROCKEFELLER and probably never will;
but the keen Rockefeller interest in
the welfare of the Chinese is mani
fest in the departure of JOHN D..
ROCKEFELLER, Jr., to spend three
months in the Flowery Republic and
to speak at the opening Of the Pekin
Union Medical College. 1t is this col
lege that the Rockefeller Foundation
has made the centre Of its fight
against disease in China.
The aim of the Foundation is to
bring to the Far East the benefits Of
Western advance in medical science.
To that end the Rockefeller wealth
millions of it-has built a medical
college in the Chinese capital, has
begun the education of Chinese and
foreigners as physicians, laboratory
workers, nurses and teachers, and has
helped to support dozens Of mission
ary hospitals.
Great wealth alone would not be
enough for a campaign such as the
Foundation has well under way in
China. There have to be zeal, perfect
organization and great courage. For
in country of four hundred millions
where poverty, disease, ignorance and
superstition are widespread the task
of introducing Western knowledge in
medicine and sanitation is so huge as
almost to be incomprehensible. But
the Rockefeller way Of doing big
things does not know either hesita-
tion or fear.
The Chinese have suffered from ep-
idemics peculiar to the East and they
have been unable to combat them
with their prehistoric medicine.
And, unfortunately, whenever there
has been an attempt on the part of
the Chinese themselves to take ad-
vantage of the medical experience of
the West the effort has not been
thoroughly successful. The young
Chinese doctors found that the jap
anese schools to which they went
were not OF the best; in fact, had
not been approved by the Japanese
Government. And, again, the Chi
nese have not learned to throw po-
litical and social influence out of
their colleges and hospitals.
So, although the job ahead Of it
seems big enough to tire Hercules or
bankrupt CRGsUs, at least the Rock
efeller Foundation knows how to go
about it. Rich in it's years Of ex-
perience, with the very last word in
research always before it, it will pa
tiently go on, showing the Chinese
by example the success Of Western
medicine and letting them know that
in this work, as in the recent famine,
the American interest in them is
entirely unselfish.
1t is good thing for young Mr..
ROCKEFELLER to go out to look over
this great philanthropy. His visit
will hearten the American workers In
the Chinese field. 1t will strengthen
our friendship with China. And he,
returning with first hand story Of
what the Foundation is doing to save
the lives of the poor in the East, may
carry reward to the open handed old
golfer of the Pocantico Hills.

Corporation Counsel Kirkham ex-
planned that board composed OF the
common council, the board of finance
and taxation, and "a men from each

act on the budget. He further stated
that nobody of this board should be

or would there be anybody on it who
was securing q salary from the city.

At the conclusion of Kirkham's re-
marks, George sKlett opposed the
clause which would. bar some MEM
bers because of receiving pay or bav-
ing to do with appropriations. Ie
believed it class distinction and dis
elimination. He said that these men

Police Pension.
Attorney George Klett appeared
for an additional measure in the
New Britain charter favoring the po-
lice pension fund in this city. He said
that other cities had it and this city
should be as fair to its police as any
other city in the state. The amend
ment allows a policeman q pension
after 20 years of service. provided
he has reached the age of IS years.
The pension would carry half pay.
The fact was emphasized that no
policeman would take advantage of
the half pay il he were capable Of
earning full pay.
Simons Opposes Adjustment.
T. Simons of the local Tax Papers
association opposed the adjustment
of the city meeting, and submitted a
protest signed by taxpayers in this
city. He rehearsed the events of city
affairs since the city meeting last
month and denounced, the mayor
for his railroad" policies. The COM
mittee members interrupted him from
time to time and warned him to stick
to his subject and not to indulge In
personalities. Simons also opposed
the police pension fund on the
grounds that it would cost the city
more money.

Mayor Curtis took up George
