The Hague June 2o.--rhe Brussels army
subcommittee in the international peace
conference convened today, Count De
Martens of the Russian delegation pre-.
sided, The drafting committees report
was amended in regard to the award Of
the greater protection OF neutral states,
defining the rights OF civil populations to
organize for Resistance and the rights OF
armies as toward armed civilians. The
ten clauses of the report were adopted.
The report of the committee Will now
be presented TO the conference and 1t is
believed that nearly all OF the powers will
adupt the new articles as basis of in
structions for armies when entering the
neld. The Geneva convention committee
held plenary session today to consider
the report OF its committee. Captain
Mahan OF the American delegation called
attention to the omission Of an article de-
ming the exact status OF wounded and
shipwrecked men falling into the sea dur
ing battle and picked up by neutral hos
pital ships He also proposed three add-
licnal articles which were referred to the
drafting committee.
The Persian delegate, General Mira
RIA Khan, who is Persian minister 10
RUSSIA, moved TO change, the Red Cross
emblem TO white dag with a red sun.
The plenary committee met to auopt
these articles and appointed a committee
to draw up general act embodying the
report OF the Geneva convention section.
This is the first definite result OF the con-
ference

ly from failure through an agreement on

The attitude OF Germany is said to be
only little In advance OF some OF the

submitted, and the disaneetion is more

Tor the other projects that were especially
desired by the Americans, such as protec-
tion of individual property from seizure
at sea, they have all been irredeemably
lost. according TO this report
The American delegates considered that
some additions we're necessary TO cover
certain omissions in the text. These addl-
tions will be left for the powers to con-
slider, but whether they are adopted or
not. they do not affect the ten articles
passed today.
The. Americans also made formal de-
mand for the exemption of private prop
erty at sea from capture In time OF war.
This question was not included In the
circular OF Count Muravleff and may pos
sibiy be ruled out Of order. II. however,

tion win be probably supported only by a

which happened in Star valley the

resulted in the drowning Of Mrs Geo.

Mr.. and Mrs Sidney Allen, who are
quite we'll known in Franklin, having
resided there in early days. The I'M
fortunate lady was also sister OF
the writer's mother 1t seems that
Mr.. Smith, who is from Montpelier,
and wife and their infant baby were
crossing river at place where it
was considered perfectly safe, they
had not proceeded far into the stream
turned and the young man seized h 8

angry waters, the wife made strug-
gle and escaped from his grip but he
caught hold Of her skirts and proceed
ed to swim toward the shore with
mother and babe, but the skirts gave
way and he saw his darling wife tax
ell away by the current. He rushed
to the shore, and leaving the baby
on The bank, returned and made des-
perate efforts to rescue his wife, but
unable to do so, and fearing the lit.
tie one would creep into the river, he
returned and secured assistance.
The body was discovered about two
miles down the stream.

How to Make Rain.

Some years ago Kansas was over
run with so-called Grain makers" who
did thriving business in vicinities
afflicted with drought. The Rock
Island railroad had a rainmaker VINO
travelled about the country in spe-
cal car and made rain from Texas to
Iowa At the time the process en-
ployed was guarded as secret, and
no doubt the mystery surrounding
the operation had much to do with
the interest aroused among the peo-
pie But now comes George Mat
thews in the Wichita Eagle with full
exposition of the means employed by
the Rock Island wizard and others,
and the following is the receipt given
by him;
'"'Ten fluid ounces of sub-sulphuric
acid.
"Fifty fluid ounces Of water.
''Five ounces of zinc.
''Renew every hour and stir every
thirty minutes day and night until
rain comes. The moment rain begins
to fall remove jar or crock. In ter
ritory west Of Kansas use one, third
less; at sea level use double the
quantity. In Kansas work only on
southerly winds, which are the moist
ure- bearing winds. Begin an expe-
riment only in a clear sky. One sta
ton of the experiment if successful,
will produce a rain thirty to fifty
miles in diameter. A better and
more certain result can be secured by
having three or more stations forty
or fifty miles apart"
According to Mr. Matthews this
mixture left in an open. mouthed. jar
generates by hydrogen gas, which
rapidly ascends. The theory is that
this gas ascending creates shaft
through the hot air down which the
cold air rushes creating storm
center and gathering moisture for
precipitation. Mathews claims that
OF the 200 experiments made by
him at least $50 were successful. =
