Text of the Most Important OF the Articles
of Convention That Is Proposed
Mediation Takes First Place. and May
BE Offered without Request-Constiru-
tIon of the Arbitration Court-Can BE
Varied I'm Many Ways,
The Hague, July S.-The third COM
mittee, sitting yesterday morning at
the Huis Ten Bosch, discussed the
scheme for the mediation and arbitra-
tion convention drawn up by the
comite d'examine. Many of the dele
gates have only been acquainted with
the proposals since Thursday, and
they have not had time to consult their
governments. Consequently it was de-
cided that when the committee ad-
journed yesterday it would be until
Friday, July IA, in order to allow the
delegates a week in which to consult
their governments and receive final
instructions. The scheme is headed
Draft of Convention for the Pacific
Settlement of International Conflicts" "
The first part deals with the main
tenance of general peace; the second
part with arbitration.

some changes made yesterday, which
do not alter the convention materially,
so far as mediation is concerned is
as follows: Article ! agrees that the
signatory powers will use all endeavors
to prevent war, and article says that
The signatory powers decide that in
cases of serious difference or conflict
they will. before appealing to arms.
have recourse so far as circumstances
. I0 0ai ;nts
of one or several friendly powers. :"
Article continues that "Independ-
emily of this the signatory powers
deem it useful that several of the
powers not committed to the arbitra-
tion scheme shall, on their own initia-
tive, offer as far as circumstances per-
nit their good offices for mediation to
the contending states. The right of
Offering their good offices belongs to
powers not connected with the con-
f1ict even during the course of hostili
ties. which act can never be regarded
as an unfriendly act.''
Effect of Mediation on War Movements.
Articles 4, and 6 deal with details
as to the proposals of mediators. and
says they are not obligatory. Article
z says that The acceptance of media
-tion, unless otherwise stipulated. may
have the effect of interrupting the OBJ
legation of preparing for war. II the
acceptance supervenes after the open
ing of hostilities it shall not inter
rupt, unless by convention of a con-
trary tenor. military operations that
may be proceeding" Article says that
THE signatory powers agree in recon-
mending the application of special
mediation in the event of threatened
interruption of peace between mem
bers. Contending states may each
choose a power to which they will en-
trust the mission of entering into a
negotiation with a power chosen by
the other side with the object of pre-
venting a rupture of pacific rela-
tions. or. in the event of hostilities, of
restoring peace" The other articles
down to and including 10 deal with
details.

gas is distributed directly to the con-
sumer, but to the system of transport
ing oil or other products from place to

HARTMAN SEEMS WINNER.
Shows In Fine Form I'm His Golf Contest
with Champion Douglass.


Lake Forest, July S.-The struggle
for the amateur golf championship
between Douglass, the present cham
pion, and Herbert Hartman took
place today. Promptly at 1920
Douglass led off with long drive,
followed by Hartman with one five
yards shorter. They halved first hole
in four. Hartman taking the second
hole in three, which gave him one
up. He went on and took the
next two, making him three up.
Douglass went out in 46, came in in
A; total. 80. Hartman went out in 40,
came in in Al; total 81. Apparently
nothing short of breakdown in play
will keep Hartman from winning the
championship. His play so far has
excited the wonder and admiration of
experts. 1t is almost perfect in every
way.
