One of the most important and
most practical problems with which
it will be necessary to deal is that of
the treatment of property and the
collection and administration of the
revenues 1t is conceded that all
public funds and securities belonging
to the government Of the country in
it's own right and all arms and sup
plies and other movable property of
such government, may be seized by
the military occupant and converted
to his own use The real property
of the state be may hold and admin
lister, at the same time enjoying the
revenues thereof, but he is not to de-
stroy it save in the case of military
necessity All public means of trans
portation. such as telegraph lines,
cables, railways and boats belonging
to the state may be appropriated to
his use. but, unless in case of mill
tary necessity they are not to be de-
stroyed. all churches and buildings
devoted to religious worship and to
the arts and sciences, all school
houses. are, 80 far as possible, to be
protected and all destruction or in.
territorial DETACHMENT of such places

or of works of science or art is pro
hibited, save when required by ur.

Private property, whether belong
ing 70 individuals or corporations, is
to be respected, and can be confis
Gated only as hereafter indicated.
Means of transportation, such as

long to private individuals or corpo-
rations, be seized by the military oc.
cupaut, but unless destroyed under
military necessity, are not to be re-

While it is held to be the right of
the conqueror to levy contributions
upon the enemy in their seaport
towns, or provinces which may be in
his military possession by conquest,
and to apply the proceeds to defray
the expense of the war, this right is
to be exercised within such limita-

to be used for the purpose of paying
the expenses of government under
the military occupation, such as the
salaries Of the judges and police and
for the payment of expenses Of the
army.
Private property taken for the use
Of the army is to be paid for when
possible in cash at a fair valuation
