STOP GERMAN
SWEDISH TRAFFIC
COPENHAGEN, Jan 26.—1Traffic between Sweden
and Germany has stopped owing to the danger ot naviga
tion of the Baltic sea and very serious results are expect
ed to the trade of the Germans as a consequence. Ihe
chief ports of commerce between the two nations are
Trelleborg in Sweden and Sassnitz in Germany. They
are directly across from each other and even since the
war the two ports have been at least as busy as ever as
from that port Germany obtained much needed supplies.
The end of the traffic had been expected but it came to an
end yesterday when a great German steamer returned to
Trelleborg after leaving that place with a cargo of sup
plies and her captain stated that he had sighted sub
marines off Cape Aroona. The submarines are supposed
to be Russian and as Germany has already adopted the
system of blowing up British merchantmen by submarines
it is assumed that the Russians have now decided to fol
low suit in order to prevent the trade btween the Scan
dinavian peninsula and the German empire.
RUSSIANS IN HUNGARY
COPENHAGEN, Jan. 26.—After a temporary check
received at the hands of the Austrians the Russians have
entered Hungary and are now on the road for a real inva
sion of that kingdom. Great Russian reinforcements are
being sent forward all the time and many of them are
marching on Bukowina with the evident intention of in
vading Transylvania. The invasion of the last named
province is expected to be followed by the long expected
declaration of war by Roumania. It is noted, however,
that the Roumanians have not yet given the least signs
of mobilizing the great army which had been spoken of
and the feeling is growing that the allies might have been
too sanguine in anticipating aid from that nation. Ac
cording to the accounts filtering through from the whole
eastern seat of war there seems to have been very little
alteration in the past few days in the relative positions of
the opposing armies. The news from the northern Polish
battle fields is particularly meager this morning and for
the past two or three days and as Russian reports are
mainly received here there is a suspicion that all is not
going'well with the armies of the czar. The days are now
beginning to lengthen slightly but all Europe is looking
forward to a tremendous awakening of energy on both
sides in a month or two. file rumors that Bulgaria had
come to an agreement with Roumania that would free the
hands of the latter to enter the war are believed to have
been premature but that such negotiations are proceeding
there is no room to doubt.
FIGHTING IN AFRICA
LONDON, Jan. 2fi.—Small engagements are being
reported from the southern portion of the African con
tinent where British, Boers, Germans, French and Portu
guese are taking parts. The British have captured a
coast town in German South African while the Germans
are reported to have recently defeated a small force of
Portuguese with the aid of black troops on the border be
tween Portuguese and German colonies. The order by
the South African government to call all the citizens of
the colony to arms has made any further attempt at rebel
lion impossible even if any of the remaining Boers felt in
clined to rise. There is every reason to believe that the
Turks have abandoned completely the projected invasion
of Egypt owing to the reverss received by them at the
hands'of the Russians in Caucasia. The British govern
ment, however, is maintaining a strong force in Egypt al
though the new ruler and the great majority of the
Egyptian people are firmly depended upon to remain lot al.
Mr. and Mrs. John Hirschey left and have now started to get ready for
for Hope this morning. They came the next season’s mining operations.

BERLIN, Jan. 20.—The question, to
whom does the projectile in the body
of a wounded soldier belong is discus
■ set! gravely by Court Assessor Lange
in the German Juristic Magazine with
an article declaring the ownership of
i such missiles to reside in the state.
I A bullet, he says, is not an ownerless
object. The soldier who sends it on its
way does not thus surrender his
| state’s ownership in it. His object is
merely to do as much damage as he
can, and it must be assumed that he
intends to reobtain possession of the
missile thereafter for recasting or

other possible use. If, however, it be
assumed that the state originally
owning the projectile gives up its
ownership by firing it away, it does
not even then belong to the man un
lucky enough to get in its way, but to
his state, under international law and
the law prizes of war. “The wounded
man possesses the missile only as the
representative of the state of which
he is a subject," writes Herr Lange.
The question of bullet ownership j
appears to have arisen first in a Bui- j
garian hospital during the Balkan j
Wars in 1912. A quarrel arose bet- j
ween a wounded soldier and a surgeon j
both of whom laid claim to an ex
tracted bullet. Herr Hachenbergen,
a well known German jurist, consider
ed the subject exhaustively at that
time, but without coming to a definite
concision, except in so far as to de
cide that the missile did not, in any
case, belong to the surgeon. Profes
sors Francke and Zittlemann, also
noted German jurists, considered the
subject in the following year. Both
reached the conclusion that the pro
| jectile belonged to the soldier.
