PREPARING FOR VOLUNTEERS.

If he thinks it advisable. The returning

Expects Something to be Done About
Arbitration
And to Humanize War
Especially in Navy.
Disarmament the Most Difficult
Problem.

The Hague, May e2.-The disarmament
committee of the peace conferences meets
at ten O'Clock on Tuesday morning, the
committee on the laws of war meets dur
ing the afternoon of the same aay and
the committee on arbitration meets on
Wednesday.
The first session OF each committee will
be devoted to the election Of officers.
The chief of the delegations have had
frequent conferences with the view of ar
riving at an agreement In regard to the
choice of officers of the committees. But
apparently, many difficulties have arisen,
as nothing has been finally settled.
Many false and exaggerated reports
have been circulated regarding these
bitches. For instance. 1t has been said
that Count Won Munster, the German
am bassador at Paris and head Of the Ger
man delegation, would withdraw from
the conference. Such stories must be re-
ceived with caution as persons hostile to
the aims of the conference have been en-
gagged In spreading distrust.
The story about Count Won Munster
probably arose from the fact that his
name does not appear rs member OF any
of the committees while the other chiefs
Of delegations have Joined one or more
committees.
But 1t is pointed out, delegates, al
though not members of a committee are
privileged to attend Its sessions and par
ticipate in the discussions. Mr.. Andrew
d. White, the United States ambassador
at Berlin and head of the American del
egstion, in an interview here with a rep.
resenta tive of the Associated Press said
The Portland daily press., 1899-05-23

he regarded the situation as promising
and that the first work of organization
was well done. He added:
81 am full of hope that it will tie posi-
BILE to reach practical conclusions. The
scepticism of the first few days must
yield to serious hopes without az tne
same time indulging in exaggerated ex
ps Citations.
"The words of Emperor William have
contributed to improve the situation. 4
think we may arrive at some result on
the subjeot of mediation and arbitration.
Although 1t is undoubtedly impossible TO
make such action obligatory 1t can De
rendered at least optional and believe
that after the conference the powers VIII
recognize that they have at their disposai
a means Of regulating their differences
otherwise than by war. That Will Do
an immense advance.
~ am also confident that importaut
improvements are aohievable in the laws
and usaRes of war, to humaaize war es-
pecially In extending to naval battles the
Geneva convention OF 1864 and increasing
the protection of private property in
naval wars.
'Relative to the reduction of arma-
meuts am not in position to speak on
the subject"
Other ambassadors who are delegates to
the conference were also interviewed and
expressed similar views. They said they
were most hopeful that the deliberations
of the conference would result In the
adoption of practical recommendations
tending towards peace and rendering war
more humane. All were dominated by
sense Of immense responsibility 10
achieve something especially in the dirso-
tion of arbitration. The delegates were
unanimously Of the opinion that the
question Of the reduction Of armaments
would be the most diffioult to meet and
they believed that IL would bs relegated
to the rear of the other two features es-
peoially since the special object of the
conference is now acknowledged to be an
endeavor to establish means for the solv-
ing of International difficulties without
recourse to war thus increasing the rarity
of wars and as natural consequences
leading to the reduction Of armaments.
They seemed convinced, however, that
numerous differences of detail would
arise in the various committees and that
the conference would be protracted.
After an active exchange of views dur
ing the last "a hours, the chiefs OF the
various delegations arrived this evening
at an agreement regarding the selection
OF the Presidents of the various commit
tees. This agreement will be communi-
Gated to the delegates who have been
summoned to meet in plenary session In
the Huis Ten Bosch at noon tomor row
for the sole purpose of formally confirm
ing the agreement.
The meeting of the disarmament COM
mittee has been postponed until four
o clock tomorrow afternoon.
