Such a code was drawn up in | 1847 at a conference of the powers of. ( Europe held at Brussees. Although the I United States was not represented at this ; conference, it has a code of war Which is ; very similar. It is called Instructions for the Govern- | meat of Armies of the United States in | the Field, and was prepared by Francis | Li beer. The following are some of the im portant propositions laid down in this treatise: The ultimate object of war is a renewed state of peace. No conventional restric tion of the modes adopted to injure the en emy is any longer admitted, but the laws of war impose many limitations and re strictions on princnples of honor, faith and justice. It is lawful to starve hostile belligerents, whether armed or unarmed; to destroy the lives and limbs of all enemies whose de struction is unavoidable in prosecuting the war; to capture and destroy the ene mies property and his routes or channels oif commerce; and to make use of all de ceptions that do not Involve the breaking of faith. It is entirely admissible under the laws of war for an enemy to bombard an unfortified city 'without giving the least warning of its 'purpose, althought he may, if he desires, give time for non-combatants do be removed. This is ordinarily done, though if time is a question, may be very easily disregarded. Flags, usually yellow, are put in such cases to mark the .location of hospitals, and the enemy is required to avoid firing on them. There have been occasions when the enemy has requested a town about to be bombarded to designate museums, libraries and art colections by flags, so as to avoid their destruction. All property belonging to the govern men of the enemy may be seixed and con verted to use. Church and school property ment of the enemy may be seized and con cation, thought it may temporarily be used. Museums and art works may be car ried off and held pending the determina tion of their ownership by treaty of peace. The persons of the residents of the coun tries the United States may invade are in violate. , ft is against the usages of modern war to refuse to give quarter, except when in extreme danger through being incumbered by prisoners, or in case of troops who mas querade in the enemy’s uniform or who fight with out authorization by their gov ernment. It is permissible far the army to levy temporary loans or impose taxes, or billet soldiers in an invade! country. CcrrespGiidents, sutlers, etc., mag be held as prisoners of war. Chaplains, nurses, doctors, etc., are not, except in extreme cases. Prisoners may be shot if is generally held to be exempt from confls gally punished after recapture. Private property, including money or other valuables, found on the person of prisoners, is not to be conficeated. except in case of extreme necessity. As a matter of fact, there will always be some robbery semetimes, but there is less robbery than in times of peace. Flags of truce are inviolate. Firing is not requir ed to eease on their appearance, and should the bearer be killed by accident it fur nishes no cause for complaint. Atkinson’s Grand Stand Play. At such a time as the preesnt there is probably on other man in Georgia who would seek to turn the serious business that confronts us to his own political ac count as William Yates Atkinson (by an oversight cf Providence and the grace of politicians governor of Georgia) has done. To save our lives, we can find no excuse, no provocation whatever for his recent grand stand play—his determination to lead Georgia's troops to the front. He knows as well as any other man that he is not called upon to do it, and that he will not be allowed to do it in case these troops leave the United States. But he eagerly takes advantage of the opportunity which his position and current events of an im portant nature give him, to make a little glory and reputation for himself. That he needs such an honorable record as hard service in. war would, or at least should, give him, we are willing to admit. But, inasmuch as he has so often scoffed at the war records of others, we fail to see why he should be so eager for it. We do not imagine for a moment that his action is based on any feeling of pa triotism. Patriotic he may be; as patriot ic as anyone—but hardly more so. But there is probably no other man in Georgia so patriotic chat he would, while acting as the state's chief executive, seize the opportunity that his position affords him to make capital for himself. At least none haver ever yet been guilty of such an act — and Georgia has had governors, during times of war, who would compare quite favorably with William Yates Atkinson in patriotism as well as in other things. The fae-t is ‘ha: William Yates - sim ply drowning in the cesspool of political corruption that he and his followers have created in this state. And. like any other drowning man. he is catealng at straws. But we warn him that even a war record will not guild over the tarnish with which his political record has defaced 'him. Fortunately his grand stand play has been taken for what it is worth by the people of Georgia, and they have failed to shower upon him the applause which he was conceited enough to expect. Georgia has her warriors, she has her constituted military authorities; and these, as well as the people, can but feel incensed at William Yates sudden assumption of leadership. Let him remain in his wallow. It best becomes him. And the people are best satisfied to have him continue in his self-elected role of peanut politician—as a warning to others. A Prolonged War. There are many people in the United States who still cling to the idea that the war will be an affair of only a few weeks. This is certainly a serious error, as can oe easily demonstrated. For several weeks past Spain has been actively massing her naval forces on the other side of the Atlantic. The Vizcaya and Almiral Oquendo have gone from Porto Rico to the Cape Verde Islands, joining there the torpedo flotilla. She now has only a few vessels in American waters, and these are intended, perhaps, merely to harrass us. It seems to be the purpose of Spain to play a waiting game. In fact it may be her intention to compel us to cross the ocean to fight her. If this indication they attempt to escape, but cannot be le of war. Spain will avoid decisive engage ments, but destroy -our commerce, and probably harry our long extended gulf and coast line through privateers. This is the plan the Cuban insurgents proves correct, it means a prolonge ! period numbers and equipments, they have avoid ed pitched battle, but have by raids and by hanging on to the flanks of the Span ish lines, harrassed and destroyed, with but little loss to themselves. Spain ‘.mows her military weakness as compared with the United States, and apparently intends to inflict all possible damage without com ing to a decisive contest. Even if we sweep the Spaniards from Cuba, that will not end the war. Spain may prolong it for many months after the capture of Cuba if she wishes. It takes two consenting parties to make a treaty of peace, and we must keep up hostilities un til Spain is ready to treat for peace on the basis of Cuban independence. In the Name of Humanity. According to ithis government's formal declaration the United States has essayed to intervene in Cuba solely for humanity’s ' sake. From first to last we have played the role of humanitarian. We have shud dered at the yellow journal stories of star vation and distress in Cuba, and at last | resolved to make war on Spain because of. these alleged cruelties. And, yet, our first act in this war has been to blockade Havana barber, with the expressed intention of starving out both Cubans and Spaniards. And this we call humanity. This is quite as consistent as the past and present attitude of the north as to the right of a people to assert their independ ence. When the Southern states, each one sovereign and of right already free, de cided to withdraw from the Union, in order to protect their interests, the North denied that they had such a right, and called her soldiers rebels . Even sent emmisaries abio-ad to prevent recognition of the Con federate government, which was in reality, a voluntary union of states as sovereign and free as were the original thirteen. But now the North and West —which, after all, are mainly responsible for the present war—declare that Cuba, now and since the time of its discovery a Spanish possession, is of right and ought to be free. The sovereign states of the South were not free, but a Spanish possession is free. In humanity’s name we make war, and then enforce a blockade for the purpose of starving out those upon whom we have forced this fight. This is consistency of the rarest ray serene. Why Did They Change? Ninety per cent of the tenants and 77 per cent of the property owners on Cherry street want the street paved with asphalt, and have so stated to council. A poll of council just before the meeting last Tues day night showed that ten out of the twelve members were for giving the peo ple what they want —for selecting what ever material was favored by a majority of property owners. Yet when th# peti tion of 77 per cent of property owners come to be voted upon by council their wishes were ignored by that body with a unanimity that was surprising to say the least. The ten aidermen who had express ed themselves only a few hours before as being in favor of giving the people what they want voted without any hesitation to give them what they didn’t want. Why this change? Who cracked the whip? Who said “you must?” Why were the peo ple’s wishes igfiored? Who is responsible for this outrage? The News proposes to smoke them out before it is done with this matter. There' is a good deal said now about At kinson and Berner pooling issues to beat Hon. A. D. Candler, if they see that neither can do it. We do not believe that the combined forces of the two candidates can beat your Uncle Allen. —Marion Coun ty Patriot.

MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 23 1898. iW * POWDER Absolutely Pure Big Guns This Horning. One ®f the most magnificent engage ments ever witnessed on American soil took place this morning. ( Everything was there but the scream and boom cf passing and of striking shell—the moans of the wounded, the sight of tine dead and the hideous reality of war. From far down the horizon the clouds rolled up their dark array. The light skirmishers that came with the dawn, the scouts and the pickets withdrew in order, and left the field clear for the meeting. From out the west the great black masses rolled, reaching further and higher and the pink tipped cloudlets fled at their approach. The face of nature changed i from gladness into gloom. And now from i far away the boom of great artillery came j like an awful whisper on the morning j breeze that in a moment seemed freighted with some coming calamity as it sank into silence and then arose again to sigh an other warning. And now the world is black and omi nous; the trees shiver and from somewhere comes a groan, it is from the grand old oak which has stood the brunt of many a battle and knows now what is coming. • » » The drops fell lightly at first —the tears of nature sorrowing for it ail —then faster, until the big drops sound like the sharp rattle of the musketry down the line. It only took a little stretch of imagination to hear the clicking of the locks and the everlasting crackling to which the sol diers’ ear grows used and which carry with them no thought of death until the one bail strikes home with a sharp little pain, then everything gets dark —the end has come— a soldier’s death. But there was none of that this morn ing. Without warning, a flash and a crack, another flash and a boom and the dreamer looks up instinctively to see where the shell might burst. “How good a gunner and how fair a shot.” All down the, line the great artillery rolled and the air was filled with flashes while all the time the minor music of toe muskets played their deadly tune. « * • It was a magnificent engagement and it lasted for several hours.' But instead of killed and wounded and missing, instead of dusty, weary looking corpses, instead of heartsiekness and the nausea of too much blood, there is now the counting of the crop, the flowers and the trees, the grass and a thirsty earth, all rejoicing, smiling and giving thanks. Then the scent of spring, the 'happy twittering of the birds and the sunshine making rainbows in the water soaked woods. No instructions have been received here as yet with regard to the volunteers for the front. It is now a settled fact, however, that the Macon military will not go out in a body or by companies. It is not in the slightest degree probable that the Second regiment will volunteer its services as a regiment and while it may be that some of the companies of the regi ment may secure the consent of a majority of the members to go as a company, it is a positive certainty that there is not one company of the Second regiment that will go out under this call without losing some of its men. * * « There are several things that it is im portant to impress upon the military men of Macon. In the first place service is not com pulsory on any man, whether he is enlisted or not. The state troops are enlisted for the pur pose of protecting the state from invasion. The services for the military of Georgia may be much more useful to the people of Georgia on the coast of the state, before CHEAP MONEV. •A4 per eent. and 7 per cent, ensy new ready for loans on Macon residence and business property. 8 per cent, money for farm loans.

Georgia will only be called upon to send I some 2.6G0 men as volunteers. There are ' -asily that number of men and twenty I times that number of men m the state who 1 and are able to go. who have no respoasili j ties, who are single, who have no one de | pendent upon them and who are really ! anxious to go. There are twenty thousand men in the state of Georgia who oan afford to =0 to Cuba. That -is to say. in doing so they will make no sacrifice and in fact would prefer to go to Cuba to staying at home. There are plenty of men in Georgia who would like to go. are anxious to go on ac count of the novelty of the thing and the experience it affords, but who cannot go. They feel that their first duty is to their families. The state of Georgia may need the ser vices of her home organized militia. The man who steps out from the ranks I of his company and refuses to go to Cuba and whose reasons are good—is not afraid to go to Cuba. He is a man than he who goes simply because the other fel low is going and is afraid of the sneers of a few fools and leaves behind him wife and children or parents to be dependent upon charity. * * • To the young man who is without re sponsibilities and who is merely giving up a “job” I say go. It will be the best sum mer trip he ever took or ever will take. He will gather large gobs of experience. His head which is probably swelled, will be reduced and he will come home a wiser man. with broader thought, broader views | and a better Idea of the value of the com . forts of home. If he does not come home at all, we will all have the satisfaction of knowing that Ihe died in good company—no matter what we may think of the cause.
