Destruction of Commerctt a Big FAG"
for in Modern Warfare--
Some Exceptions
It fa generally recognized as a sound
principle of international law that an
enemy's vessel is liable to capture
either in territorial waters or on the
high seas. It has been pointed out
by a Learned writer on the subject
that in face of the results maritime
capture has often produced it is stile
to pretend that it is not among the
Most formidable of belligerent wea-
pons; one cogent reason being that
by rendering sailors prisoners of war
it saps the Offensivelm.aritime strength
of the belligerent to which the vessel
belongs. It has been said that this
principle has 'been weakened in
modern times. In 1865 Italy adopted
a marine codelby which the capture
, of mercantile vessels of a hostile
nation by Italian vessels of war was
forbidden in all cases where reciproc-
ity was observed, and a similar
course was followed by Austria and
Prussia in 1806. In 1870 Prussia ex-
empted French vessels, from capture
without insisting on relciprocity, But
upecial reasons may be assigned for
the departure from old methods in
those instances, an important con-
sideration being the ycompal* ative mari-
time weakness of the powers con-
cerned at that time. When we ,Come
to more recent times, we find, that
Count Capriyi, Chancellor of the Ger-
man Empire, in 1892 pointed out 4hat
the changes which had come about
in the methods of conducting a mari-
time war did not tend to favor the
protection of private property at sea.
He said in substance that not naval
battles but either invasion or the de-
struction of the enemy's commerce
would in°future bring a war to an end.
Invasion was often impracticable, and
thus the destruction of trade was the
one and only method to attain the
object of the belligerent power.
Marine insurance is nowadays of an
international character; and it is sig-
nificant that English underwriters de-
posited some time ago at the Chamber
of Commerce in Hamburg an under-
taking in writing to fulfil their obli-
gations to Germen creditors at the
due date, war or no war. Such an
undertaking could not be enforced at
law in the courts of either country
either during or at the conclusion of
war, at any rate in respect of losses
occurring while war was in progress.
The courts do not recognize an alien
enemy as having any legal standing
whatever.
While, however, the enemy's vessels
are liable to capture, and goods on
board to confiscation,it is generally
recognized that destruction is to be
avoided wherever possible. Passen-
gers on an enemy's ship would he
liable to be disembarked at the earliest
opportunity, and they would have no
remedy, but they would run little risk
of more serious consequences, since
it is almost unthinkable that a pas-
senger vessel would •resist capture by.
a 'man-of-war. Still, it• must not be
'forgotten that a vessel seeking to'
evade capture would be liable to be
tired upon and possibly sunk.

WEALTH OF TOGOLAND
-
African Colony Taken by Great
Britain Is Healthy Spot
Togoland, the fourth and smallest of
German protectorates on the West
Coast of Africa, which was taken by
Britain by an expeditionary force of
Gold Coast troops, has a coast line
of about thirty miles only, but the
strip of territory extends inland for
about 350 miles. Whilst narrowing
on the northern frontier to about
thirty-two miles, it widens in the cen-
tre to fully 100 miles, It is calculated
that Togoland comprises an area of
nearly 34,000 square miles, and there
is a population of fully 1,000,000.
• There are fewer than 400 Germans
in the colony. Most of these are at
Lome, the chief town, and they con-
sist of officials and traders. Togo -
land, like the other German West
African colonies, suffered from the
methods adopted in 'developing the
territory; but it is a rich country,
producing palm oil and palm nut ker-
nels, cocoa, kola nuts, rubber, and
the many fibres yielded by tropical
forests.
In addition to building Lome on
lines which render it one of the
healthiest towns on the West Coast,
the Germans spent about $250,000 in
the construction of a landing stage.

Buffalo and Ogdensburg, assurances
were received from the local pollee
authorities that their. vigilance may
be relied upon to abciit the plans of
any marauding expeditions,' l'ollo.v-
ing is a letter received from ercha l
Regan, Superintendent of Police at
Buffalo:
• "In reference to the possibility of
'German -Americans' raiding Canada
now that England and Germany, are
in a state of war, I see nothing in
conditions here that would warrant
Such action. The great majority of
German -Americans are among the
best of our law-abiding citizens, and
while they are dearly attached to the
'Fatherland have too much settee
to attempt tine capture of Canada.
This Government would soon quash
such a movement if attempted. Of
course, there are cranks in all com-
munities and as individuals they may
be tempted to go over and commit
some rash act, but as for a general
raid, nothing to it,"
Following is a letter from M. T.
Power, Chief of Police of Ogdens-
burg, N.Y.: •
"Canadians need have no ground
for alarm in the matter of German -
Americans from United States' bound-
ary points in this section. German -
Americans and all other Americans
are peaceably disposed and do not in
any wise intend to violate any of the
neutrality laws, as near as I can
ascertain."
The only source of trouble, in the
opinions of most Canadians, is the
pro -German "crank" referred to by
Superintendent Regan, of Buffalo,
and against his inventions every pre-
caution has been taken. AU troops
now on 'guard in Canada are under
orders to challenge all strangers and
have liberty to fire on any who d:s-
obey.

MOTIONLESS UNDER FIRE
Soldier's Most Awful Test --Relief
Comes When Word Charge is Given
Every one must have wondered how
he would feel in battle for the first
time. We may get some idea of how
the average roan feels •under such
circumstances from a study of the
psychology of battle, published in
Italy. Lieut: Col. Mangiarotti of the
Seventy-seventh Infantry carefully
examined more than 2,000 soldiers
who first faced fire in the re cent war
between Italy and Turkey, and he
summarizes their statements in the
Rivista Militare. Be questioned them
by one. •
Out of 2,000 men 1,700 confessed
that their most trying moment in the
whole campaign was when they first
heard hostile bullets whistle about
their ears. But almost all of them
said they veere much Less frightened
than they had expected to be, and
that the scare diminished ',rich each
battle.
The average soldier finds the most
terrifying position to be that of stand-
ing motionless in the front rank, ex-
posed to the enemy's fire without be-
ing able to reply. The order to ad-
vance or to charge with axed bay-
onets
ayonets is then received as a release
from agony. Movement, even into
greater peril, distracts the mind and
greatly reduces the mental anguish.
Soldiers are seriously affected by
the trembling of their superiors. Au

coward in the eyes of the rank and

v
Field Marshal von der Goltz who
was named by the Kaiser as military
governor of Belgium after the Ger-
man occupation of Brussels, was the
organizer of the worst -beaten army
in modern history, Kirk Kilisse and
Lula Burgas were assumed abroad to
have burled Goltz Pasha's reputation.
But a different opinion prevails at
the German General Staff. • Von der
Goltz is Inspector General of the
Second Army Section. His reputation
as an organizer rests in his own coun-

Army Corps—the Russian border le.
gions—at Konigsberg, which he com
GENERAL VON DER GOLTZ
mended between 1902 and 1907. The
assignment to the command of the
corps of his native East Prussia was
particularly agreeable to him and to
the material with which he had to
work.
At Konigsberg Goltz had full play
for his tactical genius. He devoted
his energies to developing the strate-
gic training of the First Corps, which
will be called upon ;o bear the brunt
of the fighting with Russia. He in-
culcated relentlessly in officers and
troops the doctrine that soldiering is
all work and no play, and himself
served as a tireless example of the
theory. His critiques of manoeuvres
were extraordinarily instructive. New
points of view were constantly being
revealed by him. An officer who
served in Goltz's corps was looked
upon as having studied the art of war
at the fountain head.
Goltz is 70 years old, and has been
writing, fighting, and working for
more than 50 years of •the time.

Wounded French Officer insists• on
Aesallant Being Spared
Stirring accounts of the skirmishes
at the front occasionally get before
the public in the form of letters home
from soldiers.
Here is one from a young Preneh
cavalry officer in Alsace: "I had to
leave ray station. ori tb patrol some wo d
s
in front of our line, In the middle
of the wood we saw a clearing in
which .stood a dismounted section of
German cavalry at the gate of a large
farm.
"The lieutenant in charge of our
party at once made up his mind. He
took half of the troop to make a de-
tour and approach the farm from the
opposite side, while he left me in
charge of the rest of the men to attack
from the front.
"In a few minutes we galloped on
to the farm from both sides, The
Germans, hearing the noise of horses'
hoofs, ran out of the farm and tried
to remount, but we were on tilers too
quickly.
"My lieutenant fell with a bullet in
his thigh. 'Never mind me,' he
thouted, 'into the farm quick, and cut
them tip.' We rushed into the farm.
yard after the foe.
"The Germans took refuge in the
byres, and, hiding behind the tattle,
fired revolvers at us. We soon finish-
ed them off. The last, however, was
a German sergeant who had shot the
lieutenant, He hid behind a cow.
1 fired two shots, and the aminal fell
dead.
"I was about to shoot the German
when our lieutenant, who had been
carried in, said, 'Spare him; take him
prisoner,' We quickly disarmed all
the prisoners."
