MANY PRECEDENTS
FOR VILLA'S PURSUIl
JACKSON INVADED FLORIDA.
THEN OWNED BY
SPAIN.
In ordering United States troops
into Mexico to hunt down Villa’s
bandit army President Wilson act
ed on the principle of international
law sanctioning punitive expedition
against factions in a foreign state
which cannot be or are not pre
vented by the constituted author
ities of that state from attacking
its neighbors.
Authorities on international law
and practice pointed to many* pre
cedents witnessing the general ac
ceptance of this principle. It was
written into the treaty of 1830 be
tween the United States and Mexi
co, which now has lapsed, in the
form of a provision under which
the military forces of either coun
try could pursue marauders across
the international line where “a hot
trail” existed. Even before this
treaty was negotiated, however.
General Lawton pursued a band of
raiding Apaches into Mexico.
Daniel Webster as secretary of
state accepted the “hot trail” prin
ciple in negotiating with Canadian
authorities in 1842 during the Fen
ian troubles in Canada.
In two instances General Andrew
Jackson headed punitive expeditions
into Florida while that territory
was a Spanish possession. One was
against a filibustering faction based
on Amelia island and operating
against the United States. The oth
er resulted in the destruction of
the town of St. Marc, which had
been the base of a Creek Indian ex
pedition* against the United States
and involved the hanging by United
States troops of a British subject
who General Jackson charged was
employed by the Creeks as a spy.
The British government investigat
ed that incident, but never protest
ed.
Officials recalled many other in
stances where the “hot trail” prin
ciple had been invoked in some
form by this and other governments
and declared there could be no
doubt of its applicability- in the
case of Villa.
all the functions of such State of
ficers; and all laws in force in the
Territory of Aaska at the time of
the admission of said State into
the Union shall be in force through
out said State except as modified
or changed by this Act, or by the
constitution of the State, and the
laws of the United States not
locally inapplicable shall have the
same force and effect within said
State as elsewhere within the Unit
ed States.
Sec. 26. Ordinance Accepting En
abling Act.—That the constitutional
convention provided for herein shall
by ordinance irrevocable, accept the
terms and conditions of this Act.

DECOYS FOR THE ZEPPELINS.
British Build “Stage Factories" For
Teutons to Waste Bombs on.
I am credibly informed that what
might be called “diversionary” pro
tective measures have been em
ployed by Britain with considerable
success. These consist of various
ingenious devices calculated to draw
the fire of the Zeppelins away from
the points where they could do the
, most harm. The idea is said to have
originated in the mind of a Norfolk
farmer after a pile of chaff which ■
he had been burning on the night
■ of a raid was made the target of
; several well placed Zeppelin bombs.
“The Zepps thought my fire was
the blast of the - mills” he told
an air service officer. “Why not
have some ready to fool ’em the I
next time they come?”
Since factories and barracks were j
the main object of attack why not
provide some that could be found i
without difficulty and the destruct-!
ion of which could be of small
moment? The first experiment:
was made by cutting “window j
holes" in a row of billboards— !
“hoardings” the English call them j
—along a railway and illuminating j
each orifice with a carbide lamp.;

When thc'se came in for attention1
from the raiders the present plan1
of using “stage scenery” factories
and barracks as Zeppelin decoys
was outlined.
These decoys consist simply of
sections of imitation walls pierced
with windows which by means of
guys and props can he made to
represent the side or sky lighted
roofs of a factory or barracks.
Where practicable the illumination
is furnished by running a cable ,
from the nearest electric transmis
sion line and where this is too 1
troublesome or expensive carbide
or kerosene lamps are employed
The sections hook or clamp togeth
er and are made small enough to
allow of a stock of them being
carried on one of the big war motor
trucks.—B. J. Bjierstedt.

WHAT WE OWE WEATHER.
I wonder what we should feel
like if the weather were always
the same ? I believe wo aro not
half grateful enough to tho inter
est which the weather puts into
our lives. We may grumble and
call it inconstant, yet it is this
very inconstancy and changefulness
which provides us with an endless
variety of thought and feeling.
Take an ordinarey circustance—
such as our afternoon cup of tea—
and you can obtain entirely dif
ferent atmosphere for it from dif
ferent weathers, albeit the teapot
is the same old teapot, tho room
the same old room, and your com
panions the same old companions.
Tea in bright sunshine, tea in tho
gloaming, just before lights are lit
tea in a storm, tea with white
snow outside — they are all dif
ferent.
When next you start grumbling
at the weather, therefore, nip the
impulse in the hud. For I declare
the weather is your very good
friend, however bafTling Its dis
guise. ‘r7T“rl
