12 EMD DOES II FEU NEW WAR ZONE All Important Shipping Companies Announce Schedules Will Be Maintained Ity /issociiitcd Press London, Feb. 18.—The reply of Sir Edward Grey to the American note on the subject of the seizure and de tention of American cargoes destined for neutral European ports, Ger many's threat of a submarine block ade of Great Britain and England's retaliatory measures against it, are absorbing the attention of the British public. Sir Edward's long and carefully considered reply concerning American complaints of delays to which her cargo ships have been subjected by the British navy, was much discussed, but haturally the German threat of a submarine blockade and Great Bri tain's preparations to counteract its effect were uppermost in the minds of ship owners and traders. As Germany has for some time been attempting to sink all British ships which her sub marines could approach, her blockade ultimatum has caused little alarm. Only n Few. Changes All important shipping companies have announced that there will be no change in the regular sailings, while British. French nnd Belgian-owned cross-channel steamers are maintain ing their schedules. The Dutch Com pany, which maintains a mail service between Flushing and Folkestone, has suspended sailings and there has been some talk of mail being carried by Dutch destroyers. There has been no increase in insurance rates, and in fact the gov ernment actually has reduced rates for fishing vessels, at the same time having arranged to pay compensation to sailors who may be injured as the result of hostilities. There has been an increase in the price of coal and in coal freights, but this is due entirely to the increased demand, particularly from Italy, together with a shortage of ships. ACCUSED OF UPROOTING TREES Joseph Sullivan, Alexander Maurer, Jr., and Harry Fernsley, were each lined by Mayor John K. Boyal this af ternoon. They were arrested by Ser geant Drabenstade, and Patrolmen Hippie and "Wilson last night. These young men. who say they are. employed at the Capitol, were charged with pull ing down young trees. FIXE PANHANDLERS Two panhandlers, C. W. McGraff and Robert Peters, were this afternoon given a fine of ten dollars each by Mayor John K. Royal. Walter Foust was fined for raising a disturbance at Washington hotel.

IT CITY BIG 61 I t Bowman Points Out Financial Ad vantages;' Means Ultimate Re .moval of Market St. Dock ..How Harrisburg will be the gainer tlnanciaily by leasing the less than half an acre of the Island shore to the Harrisburg Light and Power company for a ooal wharf, and provide a way for the eventual elimination of the unsightly landing at Market and Front street, was pointed out to-day by City Commissioner Harry F. Bowman, su perintendent of public safety. The ordinance will be before Coun cil Tuesday on second reading and members of the City Planning Com mission and representatives of the electric light company will attend. The measure which was offered by Mr. Bowman grants the company the use of the plot on the island for a period of ten years with an optional term of an additional ten years in return for the yearly supply of 1,200 tone of coal for the filter plant. The coal now costs 95 cents per ton. Mr. Bowman who is preparing some data on the subject for Tuesday's meeting, gave out some interesting figures on the question. He had referred to some old councilmanic files of ordinances to substantiate his figures. City Would Be Gainer "Harrisburg, to my mind, should certainly take advantage of this offer because it will surely be the gainer, in 190 4 the city bought the upper half of the island, 47',4 acres for $8,250, and a little later sold about 29% acres to the Harrisburg Athletic Association lor $4,498.67. In 1907 the association sold a half acre to the People's Bridge company and in 1909 the city bought back what it had originally sold to the association '."or SIO,OOO, so that the city has an investment now in the island of $13,751.4 3. At six per cent, that means an income of about $825. "And," concluded Mr. Bowman, "the half acre which is now desired for a wharf —just one-ninety-fourth of the while property which represents an in vestment of nearly $14,000 —will net the city $1,140 each year." "To suggest that all the coal fleets could be unloaded at Paxton street is entirely out of the question on the face of it. In the first place the fleets couldn't be handled there; there Isn't room enough. Furthermore the peo ple down there would surely protest, i and rightly so, against the anchoring of that big fleet. As for the right of the city to impose u tax for wharf fa cilities, 1 also doubt that. "According to the terms of the Har ris grant as I understand it, we can not give up any portion of the water front for any buildings such as a hoist or hopper which the company will need. If this can't be done I don't see how such a charge can be Imposed. Furthermore, if this could be possible, Ido you think the city could charge the GOVERNOR'S TROOP OFFICERS LIEUT. EDWIN A.

The Rules of War "The rules of war are as sharply | defined, as clearly formulated and as generally recognized as the rules of football, baseball, cricket, or the prize ring. The only im portant difference is that in the game of war there is no umpire or referee with power to enforce his decisions, and consequently the rules may be, and often are, vio lated," says the January Popular Mechanics .Magazine in an illu strated article. "In the beginning of things and down to very recent times indeed, there were no restrictions, definite or implied, upon the rights of a commanding general or the powers of his army. Thoy might—and did—pillage and loot and burn and destroy as, and when, they pleased. No man, woman or child owing al legiance to the enemy had any rights which a hostile force was even morally bound to respect. 'Leave them neither root nor branch,' was the universal rule of war. As mankind reached a high er stage of civilization, war gradu ally became more humane—or, rather, less r>art>arous. Acts that had always been recognized not only as the right, but almost as the duty, of armies in the field came, century by century, to be regarded as at least unsportsmanlike. It was not until the Civil War in America, however, that any na tion undertook to formulate, cod ify, and publish a set of rules for the guidance of those who play the game of war. Tn 1863, the war department of the United States issued a manual of the laws New Photo of Czar V gaAaK Juo*"*~i—* This is a new photograph of the Czar of Russia on the battle front, carrying; the rifie of a private soldlei. The Czar has appeared on the line of battle so ofton that the Russian sol diers have come to know him and he is immensely more popular than he was before the war. HAKRISSURG TELEGRAPH governing civilized warfare—a ] manual which, brought down to ' ('ate, forms part of the equipment of every officer in the United States Army. A year later an in ternational conferanee was held at Geneva, Switzerland, and the con ventions signed there by all the great powers, relating to the care of the sick and wounded, were the first internationally formulated rules of war. Several other con ferences followed this one, but the formal 'regulations respecting the laws and customs of war on land,' which are in force today between the warring nations of TCurope, were drawn up and agreed upon at the first and second Hague con ference, held ii 1899 and 1907." The article gives a summary of these regulations which serves to make the situation abroad much clearer to the average person. In concluding it states: "With a few unimportant ex ceptions every one of the nations involved In the European conflict has solemnly pledged itself to ob serve these rules. When the war is over, should the victorious na tion or nations be able to establish conclusively that the other side in its operations violated any of these fundamental rules, it may mete out punishment for such offenses almost as it pleases. Hut thus far there is no international tribunal to which a vanquished nation can appeal for justice. A victory won by violating the rules of war is still a victory—there is no referee with power to award the decision? on a foul." - • • ~~ " " J Two Dollars* Worth for Every Dollar are you one of those WHC> , WAIT THE HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Woman's Home Companion The American Magazine | Either One With the Harrisburg Telegraph for Only a Few Cents a Month; or Both With the Telegraph for a Trifle Extra j All for Only a Few FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF Cents a Month Harrisburg Telegraph, 312 issues - - - - - $3.00; A year of the Harrisburg Telegraph The American Magazine, 12 issues at 15 cents - - - 1.80 T?orld^ a ne°" tinU ° US panorama of tlle Woman's Home Companion, 12 issues at 15 cents - - 1.80 ; W °' S r u 11/ » u r Either Magazine or Both With the Telegraph for Just a Few (c cn i !

Work* I Inr In Any Cane anil UrinitN Itcllef In 'l'm Minute* l The greatest folly of to-day is com ' mitted by people with weak dyspeptic ' stomachs who lake artificial digesters I to cure indigestion. Artificial digesters—pepsin pills, etc. J —simply encourage a lazy or tired out | stomach to shirk It work by doing most of its work for It. This is fine for a time, but as every chronic dys peptic knows, urtiiiclal digesters soon lose their efficiency. Where one once did the trick three or four are now re quired and the poor old stomach itself Is worse oft than ever. Your stoma'h must be strong enough to expand and contract with a sort of I i burning movement so as to mix its di jgcstlve juices with your food. If your ' stomach isn't strong enough to prop- erlv churn your food, you will keep right on having indigestion after every meal until you make it strong. There is one Stomach remedy that every dvspeptic can depend on as sure ! ly as that the sun will rise to-morrow I and that is the famous old Ml-O-NA Stomach Tablets. Most stomach reme -1 dies let the stomach rest and digest the food themselves. .\li-o-na won't i digest anything, but it will strengthen 1 and stimulate the stomach and make 'it do its own digesting. It stops atom- I ach pains, gas, bloating, burning. belching, etc., in ten minutes and does I still better by making the flabby, In ! flamed and inactive stomach walls i grow strong and elastic and able to do I their own churning. Mi-o-na Tablets j never lose their effect and unlike mere artificial digesters need not he used 1 forever. A few weeks' use is generally sufficient to put any stomach in Una shape, and H. C. Kennedy and many ether leading druggists hereabouts sell it with that understanding, agreeing to refund money to anyone who does not get complete relief. —Advertise- ment.
