for land warfare were based upon these manuals, and the influence of the American code of 1863 was clearly evident in what had now become the established law of the world.
It is true that with the outbreak of the present war the official announcements of the German imperial government, to the effect that military necessity justified a disregard of all these rules, had a shocking effect. In some respects, as for example in the use of poisonous gases, Germany's enemies found it necessary to use methods of warfare previously adopted by Germany which were out of har- mony with the standard which it had been supposed all nations had reached. A nation of great military strength, with a doctrine of "absolute warfare" which freed con- science from most of its restraints, had ignored the moral sentiments of mankind. Our confidence, however, in the progress of civilization is at least partially restored when we remember that mankind rose up against lawless Ger- many and asserted that moral standards must be pre- served at any cost.
It was Germany's lawless attacks upon American ships and lawless destruction of American lives that brought the United States into war. Having once entered upon it we of necessity became interested also in other issues and are playing a large part in the efforts that are now being made to reestablish the world upon sure foundations. It is to be hoped that now, as in the past, our influence will be for righteousness that we may be powerful in defend- ing the rights of neutrals and in limiting the privileges claimed by belligerents. It is to be hoped, too, that we shall not forget the obligations that rest upon the power- ful, as well as the neutral, and that we may be willing to bear our share of responsibility in restoring and rebuild- ing an almost ruined world and in promoting peace among the nations.

WASHINGTON'S PART IN THE WORLD WAR
The Washington Board of Trade and the World War
S OME communities have Boards of Trade that exist in name only. Washington, in having a real organization to step to the front during the war, was fortunate. Officers and directors of the Washington Board of Trade, and every member of it, were untiring in their loyalty to the nation and generous in their sacrifice of personal advan- tage for the stimulation of the community's war record. Much of the success attending war work in Washington was due to the unqualified backing of this organization.
Its officers were John L. Stewart, president ; J. W. War- rick, treasurer; Byron E. Tombaugh, chief of civic bureau ; B. F. Mevay, Jr., chief of industrial bureau; T. D. Vera, chief of business men's bureau; R. L. Munce, chief of agri- cultural bureau ; J. F. Curran, chief of traffic bureau ; C. O. Hanes, managing secretary, and Russell L. Condit, assist- ant secretary. The directors were Calvin R. Allen, Frank H. Berthel, J. F. Curran, John H. Donnan, H. B. Duncan, Harry A. Jones, J. L. Lockhart, M. W. McCune. T. H. McNary, H. F. Mevay, R. L. Munce, Louis Ochs, G. G. Oliver, T. C. O'Rorke, Lewis M. Paul, Ben Reynolds, John .L. Stewart, Byron E. Tombaugh, T. D. Vera, Boyd E. Warne, and John W. Warrick.
To catalogue the manifold activities of the Board of Trade would be to repeat the list of civic accomplishments during the war period. Nothing worthy but what was sanctioned and supported by the Board and its various bureaus. The Community Building, owned by the Board, was practically turned over to the government and the local war activities. In it were located the offices of the Food Administrator, the Fuel Administrator, the Internal Revenue Collector, and many civic war-work societies. From it was displayed the Community service flag, dedi- cated July 4, 1918, with 1,073 men in service, and represent- ing at the close of the war 1,432 men with the colors.
The War Savings stamp campaign of 1918 was given the active support of the Board of Trade and mainly through this aid was the local quota surpassed. The Board arranged for farewell celebrations to each of the 24 draft contingents that were inducted into service. Each selective was pre- sented with some funds raised in the large Board flag. A benefit Hippodrome and benefit Style Show were held in January and March, 1919, at which nearly $900 was cleared to go towards the entertainment of returned service men later in the year. The magnificent Welcome Home recep-
tion on September 18, 1919, was the culmination of the efforts of the Board of Trade.
The most important function of the Board of Trade, how- ever, was the stimulation of war work by the many local in- dustrial plants. Chairman B. F. Mevay, Jr., and his corps of aides on the industrial bureau accomplished wonders in conjunction with the managements of the various plants. The local coal companies brought production up to record- breaking totals and the employes vied with each other in effective work. Many Washington concerns were on a 100 per cent war basis before the close of hostilities.
The Pittsburgh Window Glass company manufactured light armor plate for tractors. The Tyler Tube & Pipe Company made tubes for steamships and locomotive boilers. The Griffith Charcoal Iron mills produced stove pipe and stoves for export to allied nations. The Electric Reduction company extracted by electrical process the ferro alloys of rare ores, the product being used by the government in the manufacture of special steels for armor plate. The Hazel Atlas Glass Company's three plants devoted production to glass food containers. The Jessop Steel Company made light armor plate for tanks. The Findlay Clay Pot Com- pany produced products used in glass melting tanks.
The National Wrought Iron Annealing Box Company made annealing boxes for use by iron and tinplate mills. The B. D. Northrup foundry and machine shop manu- factured tank car fittings, refinery supplies and glass molds for industries engaged in war production. The tin plate made by the Washington Tin Plate Company went into packers' cans, condensed milk cans and food containers that carried food to the army. The Duncan & Miller Company manufactured tableware. The Topliff-Ely Company made baby carriages. Paint made by the Capitol Paint & Varnish Company and automobile tubes and tires turned out by the Washington Rubber Company were indirectly essential to the winning of the war. The Highland Glass Company made wire glass and rolled figure glass shipped to France for government warehouses and air service repair shops in the United States. The Beaver Refining Company made great quantities of essential gasoline.
To the cooperation and 100 per cent energy of every organization in Washington much is due. The interlocking organization making this possible was the Board of Trade. Its record is a proud one.
