UNITED BTATF9 AND CANADA
!•' the t'nitad Slates ever has
troubl- with Great Britain it wil!
not grow out of the fact that for
four thoissud mi let or so the Unit
ed Statts touches one of Great Brit
alu's co»ont«, the Dominion ol
Canada. While ordinarily bouu<
dar, line® are the surest source 01
war-making, the United States—
and likewise England—is protectee
in thi-> iuftaace by a buffer that i.<
proving its value The buffer i;
the International Joint commission
created by the tr««ty of 1909, t<
settle all boundary questions thei
pending and "to make provisions fo
the adjustment and settlement o:
all such questions as may hereaftei
arise."
This commissiou is composed of;
Obadisn Gardner, Maine, Jatnei
M Tawney of Mluutsou, and R. B
Ulenn cf .North Carolina, for th<
I'nited States; Henry A. Powell
'<• C., N'ew Brunswick, Charles A
Marath, Ontario, and P. B. Mig
ri"lt, K. C.. Quebec, for Canada.
Although organization was uot ef
r'ected uutil January 10, 1912, ow
'f.is to the delay in the naming o)
his appointees by the King of Eng
laud, the commission ahead:
lias adjusted more difficulties
than were settled throug',
the .liplomatic agencies o,
the two countries since the begin
'ling of this government it has
still others to dispose of.
"Its work Is a tribute to the
venius and progressive internatioua
statemanship of the two great Eng
iish-s;>eaki»g nations of the world,'
.-aid Senator Wesley L. Jones, oi
U'r.shjngton, in discussing the top^
ie. "It must be apparent to any
one that with a boundary between
two countries almost 4,000 miles ir
extent, with millions of people liv
ing side by side under two separate
and distinct governments, whose
• ommercial, financial and indus
trial relations are necessarily and
i itimatejy related, and who are the
owners in common of a vast proper
ty which marks almost one-half ol
that boundary, conflict of interest
will arise in the future as in th«
past. Between no two countries in
the world is there a boundary of
such tribunal extent.
"Diplomacy does not afford the
people of two nations, whose rights
and interests are involved in any
international controversy, the op
portublty to appear face to face to
: ave their controversy determined
upon sworn testimony end accord
ing to the principles of law The
necessity therefore for the exis
tence of this commission or some
similar tribunal will exist there
for- as long as there exiols the nec
essity for courts either in the Un
ited states or Canada. This is so
because of the elerclse of their
comnon right to the use of the
water which marks the boundary be
tweea them.
"The treaty between the United
States and Great Britain creating
this international court of justice
makes the most advanced step yet
taken by any two nations in the
history of the world—not only for
the settlement of international ques
tions, but for th% settlement of
questions of less consequence be
tween the people o' both nations.
There are many arbitrations be
tween the U. S. and other nations.
Doubtless there are many between
rther nations of the -world, but
tlier-* are none between any other
:»o that create a tribunal compos
ed oi citizens of both nations for
'he settlement of international ques
tions between their governments or
between their people. This com
mission therefore, charged with the
duty and having the power practi
eallv to -work ont the great prob
lem of whether or not the theory of
international peace through arbitra
tion, can or canitot be made a Suc
cess, should hare tha hearty support
of both gcrr»rn*«nts.

DrRECTlWG A BATTLE.
How the General Staff Keeps In Touch
With the Firing Line.
In wartime the many threads lead
tog from tbe long tattle line at length
reach a common point, which is the
headquarters of the general staff. Tbe
activity of each officer attached to the
general staff is therefore of the great
est Importance for the success of ev
ery military enterprise.
During the action every officer of the
staff is at the immediate disposal of
the commanding general and assists
him in tbe carrying out of orders.
Among the duties of the staff officer
during action belong the gathering and
compilation of reports which are con
stantly, pouring In to headquarters aud
which give Intimation of the progress
of tbe battle. Tbe st;sff officer must
observe tbe needs of the troops In ac
tion. He must keep a close watch on
their supply of ammunition, lie must
•ee that their comma uders property ex
ecute the orders of the commanding
general. He must look after the wound
ed, see that they are properly treated
and sent to lazarets. He mnst see to
It that prisoners are properly cared for
and that the commissariat is adequate
|y provided for hiii 1 the provisionlus
of the troops.
Sometimes the commanding gentral
Intrusts a staff officer with the observa
tlon of the action of the opposing
forces which uiay be beyond tbe view
of headquarters, or lie may be sent to
the firiug line with important orders
to commanded there, which, however
tbe staff officer has authority to altei
if in bis Judgment this is necessary.
During defense movements it is of
particular lmjiortauce to observe close
ly the movements of tbe opposing
forces in order to make preparation for
counted moves, such as advances, re
treats. tbe sending of re-enforcements
and other movements of troops The
execution of these movements falls
within the province of the staff officer
The training of the staff officer is
very thorough. A complete practical
course In military science, extending
over many years' of active service with
various bodies of troops. Is augmented
by years of stil ly at the war college,
which embraces the last word in the
theoretical science of modern warfare

The average man is a doubter,

is so. .vUsrepresentations make
people skeptical. Here is proof which,
should convince every Alaskan read
er.
E. B. KuCn, 2235 J. St., Eureka,
Cal., says: "For almost a year I
suffered fro'ii weakness In my back.
My condition was very poor and I
was unable to stoop without having
sharp, knife-like pains in the small
of my back. At night the pains
bothered ni'_' greatly anc made it al
most impossible for mc to sleep. I
also had some trouble with the
kidney secretions, tho passages be
ing too frequent.' The first box of
Doan's Kidney Pills brought great
relief and before long the trouble
was removed."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
