The Laws cf Se Warfare.
ids amereuce uriwcf n iiiuuirt vi ;
national law and of statute law lie, we are i
taught, in the lack of aa international anthorliy ;
with enforcing power bark of it. International
law ta merely a body of generally accepted cus
tome observed by natlona in their transections
with one another, Just aa are trade customs and
octal customs observed by Individual, becaure
of their reciprocal benefit, and they hold tool
therefore only so long aa mutual Interest com
mands. A large part of our International law Is era
braced under the eubdWlrton of the laws of war,
being rulea and regulations for the conduct of
natlona at a time when they hare repudiated and
violated all the other obligations to one another.
The binding force of the laws of war la nothlnc
but desire to avoid retaliation; prisoners are
treated humanely by one combatant, not sa
much out of consideration for them as in tho
knowledge that In no other way can tbey count
on decent treatment of their own prisoners ta
the hands of the enemy.
The laws of war on sa are, In fact, more
mediaeval than the laws of war on land. Sea
warfare la still Indistinguishable from a remnant
of piracy or licensed roardee and robbery. The
blame for the failure so far to make the code
governing warfare on the seas conform to tho
morals of modern civilization need not be fixed
now, but the necessity for early revision and re
form is Imperative.
Cattle Disease Put to Eont.
Official announcement has been made by the'
Department of Agriculture that not a alngle'
known case of foot and mouth disease exists In
the United Slates, and that while there may ye?
be some isolated outbreak, the situation is com
pletely under control.. The Information la added
that in the campaign to stamp ont this plague
124,141 head of cattle were killed, which figures
apeak louder thsn words of the magnitude of tha
menace thus averted. .
The,euecMful campaign against cattle dis
ease, above all, testifies to the efficacy of the
methods adopted, and shows what can be done
by Intelligent effort backed with the necessary
authority and resources. At the time It looked
as If perhaps too drastic measures were being
resorted to, but'it Is results that count, and the
saving to' tha farmers and cattle growers., ani
Indirectly to the consuming public generally,
will without question offset the cost many times.
China's Usurper.
President Yuan Bhlh Ka of China seems to
have emulated Davy Crockett's coonforced to
look into the muxsles of Japanese guns, lie
comes down and for the present saves himself
and the position be usurped.
In many quarters Yuan Shlh Kal la credited
with being, the strong man of China. Soma
features of his career Justify the distinction. In
the boxer rebellion he waa the power behind tba
throne and the most astute defender of a totter
ing dynasty. On more than one occasion he
lent eager ears to the schemes of opponents of
the reigning bouse, and while feigning sym
pathy, invariably contrived to send the schemer
ta the' royal executioner. By such means he
became the most powerful official and -army
leader and' the I most dependable supporter of
the regency.
When the republic was proclaimed In Feb
ruary, 1913, General Yuan commanded the Im
perial troops, with headquarters at Peking, The
republicans chose Nanking as their capital. In
the ensuing parleys for the peaceful extinction
of the dynasty Yuan successfully manipulated
both sides for his own advantage. His was the
determining voice In the relinquishment of the
throne, and his pretense ot cordial sympathy
lured tha credulous republicans from their In
dependent position to the uncertain byways of
Peking dominated by Yuan. For the repub
licans the change proved to be a virtual surren
der and the beginning of the end of the oriental
republic.
Once installed as temporary president pend
ing the drafting ot a national constitution, Yuan
proceeded to strangle the organisation wbicn
Invested him with power. The constitution,
which, was proclaimed in October, 1913, was
suspended by .Yaan, and the Parliament which
drafted it waa dissolved in January, 1914. A
new constitution was drafted by Yuan and his
supporters,. representative parliament abolished
and all power taken Into hla own handa. The
republlcana who rebelled against the usurpation
were quickly exterminated or dr(ven Into exile.
Whatever be the future fate of China,
whether a dependency of Japan or Its vassal
state, tha downfall of the elephantine empire Is
largely due to the machinations sf the usurper.
On him rests the responsibility for destroying
or exiling the men whose energy and enthusiasm
might have raised tha nation's defensive spirit
beyond the danger of attack.

Phil Kearny
By , William A Otuuslag '
ACEHTlTTtY ago on the second of next June a baby
appeared at No. I Broadway, New Tork City,
who was deatlned to become the alumnus of
Columbia college moit secure for all time agalnel
Imputation of pacifism. "Phil Kearny" wna a Mmn
much on the tongues of Americans during the late
forties and early slut lea; but the deeds that brought
him glory, with mutilation and death, had no con
nection with tha paths or peace. The good fame of Ms
life and tha dlatlnction of his death were esclualvely
tlione that belong to the soldier.
Kearny entered Columbia as a sophomore In 130
and was graduated in the clans of 133. Of his career
aa a student little record remains. The extra-curricular
possibilities of that day were limited to the
activities of the ancient literary societies, snd any one
who Is Interested may trace Kearny's participation in
the proceedings of the Pelthologlan society, whoae
minute-books are preserved In the library. He was
admitted to tha society October H. 1SS1, and continued
to draw books from Its library until February, MM,
a long time after ho was graduated. He wss fined a
shilling for "disorder." marked "paid." and another
shilling "for taking more books than the allotted num
ber without permission.'" Neither of these punish
ments gave him any distinction, since most members
of the society appear tinder like circumstances en the
conscientious treasurer's lists.
Kearny devoted some time after graduation to the
perfunctory study of law. Tn 1U4 he Inherited a large
fortune at the death of hla grandfather, and there
upon promptly entered the career thst he had coveted
from early boyhood. His uncle, Stephen W. Kearny,
was colonel of the First regiment ef United States
dragoons, and the nephew procured a commission as
second lieutenant tn the same organisation. After a
few years of service In the west he was designated
one of three subalterns to go to France snd study the
training and tactics of the cavalry of the French
army. In connection with this duty ha went with the
armies thst conquered Algeria and participated in
some of the severest campaigns of that war. This ex
perience In a French environment confirmed and
enhanced temperamental characteristics that were con
spicuous In Kearny. His forbears were of the Irish
Celtic stock, and the well-known military qualities of
this strain were artistically supplemented by the
eoually well-known traits of the Gallic Celts, It Is
the uniform testimony of his military associates, both
superior and Inferior In rank, that hla fondness for
fighting per se was without limit, that his courage
alwsys verged on rashness, and that, on the other
hand, his ears for his men' and bis attention to his
personal appearance covered the terrible features ef
soldiering with a screen that waa picturesque and
winning.
At the outbreak ef the Mexican war. In 184, the
procedure by which Theodore Roosevelt later pavwd
the way to military distinction was anticipated by
Kearny. Commissioned as captain, he went to Hlt
nots, then ss typically "far western" as Montana was
In lis, and recruited a company of dragoons. By the
qualifications demanded for enlistment, the special
charter ef the men's equipment, and the uniform color
of the horses (Iron grey). Kearny mads his command
unique, and secured for It something of the same dis
tinction that attached tn the Spanish war to the Rough
Riders. General Scott, whose nickname "Fuss and
Feathers" suggested his love for the spectacular side
ef the military life, naturally took Kearny's company
for his headquarters .guard during the campaign
against the Mexican capital. In the vary laat battle ef
the campaign, at Churubusco, when ths Mexican tine
waa broken the dragoons were sent tn to purine the
retreating enemy. Kearny led the charge with such
ardor aa to find himself .with only half a dosen com
rades close up to the walla of the City of Mexico, In
point blank range of a battery of artillery that was
defending one of the gates. He started to return to
the American Hues, but the cannon opened on him and
a grape shot shattered hla left arm. Only by deter
mined effort did he reach his men. His arm wss
amputated close to the shoulder, and hla ftghtlvc thus
ended for this war. He remained ta the service, how
ever, with no apparent diminution of either efficiency
or ardor. After some campaigns In California he
eventually reslgnM from the army in lt
In the late fifties Kearny was again in France,
and In the Italian campaign of 18E9 he served aa a
volunteer aide of a general of the French Imperial
Ouard. When the civil war fat America opened, Kearay
came promptly home and received a commission as
brigadier general, with the command of a New Jersey
brigade In the army of the Potomac During the long
months of preparation, through tha fall and winter
of 1MU-S3, be fretted much at the lack of fighting; and
when McClellan started for Richmond by way of the'
peninsula Kearny's brigade was quickly conspicuous
In action. In May, 1862, Kearny was made major gen
eral and put In command ef a dlvtslon. His reputa
tion as a fighter was fully sustained when the grapple
came as the union forces neared Richmond. Both
within and without the army It became axlomatlo that
Kearny's division would do all that was expected of
It, and. If the matter required the offensive sgalnst
odds, probably a little more, it bore a full share of
the bloody work tn the Seven 'Days bat Una; it was
put at once In the front when MoClcllan sent It to
the support of Pope, and it fell to Us lot to win the
single little advantage that was secured by the union
forces before they were crushed and broken by Lee at
the Second Bull Run. . . j
A a the demoralised federals streamed back toward
Washington. Lee sent Stonewall Jackson around ta
cut them off from the capital. Kearny's division. In
tact and well In hand, was dispatched to thwart this
movement. At Chantilly, barely a dosen miles from
Washington, they fall upon Jackson with a fury that
put htm at once en the defensive. A memorably fierce
thunder storm brought no cessation of the struggle. In
the midst of the tumult Kearny was Informed that a
readjustment of the union line on his right had left a
dangerous gap there. He rode off entirely alone tn
examine tha situation. Jackson waa a soldier too
like Kearny to mlae the opportunity given to him: the
confederates were already In the open placa. Kearny
came suddenly on Jackson's Una. Dlsregsrding a call
to surrender, the union general turned and spurred bis
horse to escape, lying close to the animal's neck. A
volley followed; one bullet found Its mark and Phil
Kearny fell dead. He had been a cloee associate ef
many confederate officers In the Mexican war, and
was well known to Lee. By order of the confederate
chief Kearny's body, with his horse and alt hla equip
ment, waa sent under flag of truce Into the union
lines.
Funeral services for Kearny were held in both
Newark. N. J., near which he had his home, and In
New York, where he had his chief social and business
Interests. Hs was laid to reat In the vault of the
Watts family, la Trinity churchyard. A good relief
portrait of the general, in bronae, hangs In the history
reading room in Kent hall, Columbia university.
Edmund Clarence titedman has preserved la spirited
lines the picture ot Kearny in action. The beat-known

OMAHA, May t.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Some preachers read their discourse
In a clear and. solemn yolce, their ges
tures are appropriate, their language very
choice: they never speak of devils, nor of
future punishment, and the softest, ten
derest Christian finds no cause to take
in the

offense. But there are otner ministers
who shed their coats and rave, and in
sist that there's a Judgment and a hell
beyond the grave; so they turn a double
handspring, skin the cat, and pound and
bang and deliver their Instructions In the
latest pleblan slang.
Some Christians are se hnrnWe that
they wash each other's feet, sing psalms
on every comer, kneel and worship in
ths street: while others are too timid (or
as some believe), too proud, to say a
prayer or testify before the smallest
crowd. To attend red-hot revivals is of
some the chief delight.; they cannot rest
unless they shout and sing hymns every
night, while others' cannot go to church
and sit the service through, but they must
yawn, and stretch their necks and slum
ber in . the pew. Some men will labor
day and night and many Ills endure, col
lecting bonds and bags ot gold to keep
from dying poor; while others scheme
and plan until their nervea are all
atwltch, they scarcely sleep a wink,
they're so. afraid of dying rich.
Seme tender hearted people sit and
read with weeping eyes about some girl
that's down and out. O, bow they sym
pathise; but when the book la laid aside
tbotr hearts refrigerate, and Mary bears
her shame alone er lnks bereath Us

siris will groan and scatter tears, anf
pour their tan . wretchedness Into our
listening ears; we donate fifty dollars

and glorious drunk.
Soma men had rather suffer death thsn

LINCOLN. Neb.. May To the Edl-
tor 6f The Bee: The press is now teem
ing with comments upon the stupendous
calamity that has overtaken the steam
ship Lusitanla. Much of this Is nat
u rally adverse. While my views will
doubtless not meet , with general ap
proval nor alter the fixed opinions of
many, I desire, nevertheless, to set them
forth in order to make clear that, as
clttsens of the United States of Amer
ica, we are bx no means a unit in our
attitude on this, momentous event
To the average parson it will be, of
course; wholly unnecessary to state that
the Incident is greatly deplored by all
alike, foe, friend and neutral. It U one
of the sad incidents of war. To Ger
many, if it was Instrumental In sinking
the Lusitanla, It was a necessary war
measure and equally aa much deplored
by them, as by noutrata. To England it
waa doubtless unjustifiable. .
Generally speaking, It must be ad'
Kitted that the American public has
bean woefully Ignorant of the dangers
Its citlaens are incurring by braving in a
foolhardy manner the dangers of the
war sons, whether on land or see. We
have been too frequently lulled into
false seowrity by adhering to views not
founded en fact We have heard of
"civilised" warfare and have wondered
bow there oould be such a thins as civ
ilised warfare. The tsnna are contradlo
tory la the extreme. War is war in Its
cruel est form and to haaard our lives
where It Is wholly uncalled for Is sheer
foolhardineas. Bo long as war exists we
have every reason to expect as perfectly
proper every recourse to which any of
the combatants resort As neutrals ws
must abide thereby or by force Interfere
without partiality te any of those in
volved. If necessity as a nation forces
us to abide by the acts of the belliger
ents, our only recourse Is to ' disclaim
any and all responsibility for any harm
that may befall the ettisens of this na
tion who knowingly and willfully hazard
their Uvea by entering the war area.
Germany has long age given ample
and sufficient warning to all of the ex
istence ot a stats of war between Itself
and England and its allies. A nation at
war can do no more In the Interest of
neutrala To all reasonable men such a
warning Is sufficient All disregarding
the warning do so at their peril and this
nation la under no obligstlon to safe
guard the Insane notions of the adven
turer, the pleasure seeker and the man
seeking business at great risk of life.
It is also well to bear in mind that
the rank and file ot the ettisens of this
ration are not at all interested. Most
of us' are not hasardlng our lives in
seeking gala or ephemeral pleasures at
the risk of our Uvea Is it reasonable
for this nation to have Its peaceful na
tional life disturbed by those who know
laxly incur these grave dangers ?
None ef the nations at war have any
grievance against the United States, but
naturally all are extremely desirous to
cripple all trade Intercourse of each other
with any neutral nation with the ulti
mate object in view ef being victorious.
Speaking for I myself and others Uke
minded. I ssy let us stay away from the
danger sones and let the national gov-.
ernment disclaim further liability where
any exercise wanton disregard for their
own safety.
