County camps in all portions of the . state have found their prisoners Just as faithful and the governor admits a very pleased surprise that so many have made records without any shame to themselves or embarrassment to him Many letters have been written the erovernor bv men serving: time.

WYLIE BRICE NOT TO DIE the central powers and troops. His kingdom Is in the hands of the invaders. For a time King Peter traveled In a special train. At Kruse vatch he had to abandon his movable court. As he stood in the station building of that town and waited for the automobile that was to take him to other parts, tears streamed down his cheeks. One of his dwindling en tourage murmured a few comforting words, but to these King Peter mere ly nodded. Then he was said to be on his way to Scutari, Albania. In many respects King Peter is the most dramatic figure of the European war.

The general board urged the build ing of two ships in 1903 and congress authorized one. In 1905 the board recommended the construction of three ships nnd congress authorized two. In 1907 the board urged the building of four ships, figures to which it clime until this year when it recom mended four dreadnaughts and four battle cruisers, or a total of eight cap ital ship.

The original Kara georgovitch, or "son of Black George however, was a shepherd. King Peter himself spent much of his life In Switzerland, where the summons to Serbia's ill-fated throne reached him. Shortly after his election to the kingship, Peter entered into close re lations with the Russian crown. A large annual revenue was settled up on him with the understanding that in all matters affecting Serbia's for eign policy he was to keep Russia's interests on the Balkan peninsula in mind. The attitude of the Serbian liberal party made such a course by Russia advisable. This party had favored tho establishment of a republic In Serbia after Alexander and Draga had been murdered. This, and the fact that tho liberals In those days were not the ardent pan-Slavlsts which they be came later, recommended the rein forcement of the Serbian crown finan cially. In Petrograd It waa felt th.it Russia needed a reliable agent In the Balkans, nor could it be overlooked there that exDerlments in rcDubllcm government by a Slav people were not : BelieVfid calculated to make the life for the Romanoff dynasty easier.

DECISION PUT OFF TON Cabinet Will Be Found in Practical Agree ment on Friday. FOUGHT. ARE NEAR DEATH Gazette-News Bureau, The Rlggs Building, - Washington, Dec. 31. A severe Indictment of Great Britaii. and Germany as. violators of every rule of international law that stood In their way, was the outstanding feature of yesterday's session of the Pan-American Scientific congress. ; The indictment was hurried forth from the platform of the good room at the Shoreham, where Section VI. of the congress, devoted to subjects of international law, was in session. . . Dr. Theodore S. Woolsey, former professor of International law at Yal university, snapped out the charges that electrified the small but Intent audience of Juri-consults. Unless, declared the grlm-vlsaget speaker, whose eyes flashed firo be hind broad rimmed, ' black -rib boned glasses, some means is found to pun ish these violators of international codes, then nations may well despair of any hope of International Justice, and wars must always lapse Into bar barities of savagery. He proposed, with frankly conceded misgivings, the establishment of a tri- , ment upon the transgressions and re-- ' prlsals of belligerents, with power to decree the punishment the offending power shall be entitled to suffer at the hands of the belligerent upon whom barbarities may have wreaked. Such punishment he declared, , should not wait upon the return of peace, but, though he had declared that the rights of neutrals had been a mockery In the present war, ho did not go so far as to say that the injured neutrals should band together as avengers of tho wrong. The address of 'Dr. Woolsey followed two delivered by prominent authorities of this city Walter S. Penfield, wh. read a lengthy paper on the growth and spirit of arbitration in the Ameri cas, and predicted a powerful role for the Americas at the close of the Euro pean war in persuading the natlona or the old world to abolish war and set up arbitration; and Jackson H. Ral. ston, who, while admitting the great steps taken by the nations of the west ern hemisphere in the promotion of international arbitration, deplored tho two narrow restrictions within which such arbitration had been resorted to. iwo years ago." declared Dr. Woolsel, as he rose to speak, "I could have stood before you on this platform confident in a prediction that any modern wars that might be- fought between civilized nations would be governed by the rules of humanity. Today, after 17 months of a war In Europe, I nm forced to admit that both Great Britain and Germany have violated every law of the nations that has stood In their way. The rights of neutrals are no longer respected. We have seen defenseless towns bom barded, non-combatants killed, mur. der by submarine attack and an out cropping the world over of plottings and espionuge, explosions, and sense less ruin. "What shall be the penalty? if there is to be no penalty, then all In ternational law has broken down In deed, and the future holds out but little hope. Two propositions of the theory upon which Germany has de fended her course, I reject as unten able. I reject the maxim she has set up that military necessity, which means military convenience, Is para mount to law. I reject also the prop, ositlon that, the rights of neutrals ere qualified by the demand for reprisals between tho belligerent powers. "There are two courses of punish ment open: . Retaliation or penalty. KrtallHtion is illogical, for with It It Is seldom that the roal offender the man higher up can be made to suffer. If Grest Britain had hanged the son London, Dec. 10.
