Revised Proposal Likely to BE Sub
mitted to Committee.
The HAGUE, July 7.-The revised
proposal regarding the institution of u
permanent court Of arbitration, which,
1t was expected, will be submitted to
the committee today, consists of 56

original project.
Clause % is interesting, III that it
provides that each signatory power
shall designate within three months
following the ratification not more than
four persons recognized as competent to
deal with questions of international
law who are ready to accept the Office
of arbitratJrS. The bureau will keep Il
list OF the nominees who VIII be enti-
tied TO .'it us members of the court and
will report to the signatory powers all
notifications therein. Two or more
powers can designate the same MEM
ber. Members viii be nominated for
SIX years and eligible Co denomination.
In case of the death or retirement of a
member of the court, the vacancy shall
be filled in the same manner as the
original nomination.

The members of the committee agreed
that General Corbin S suggestion was a
good one. and that there seemed no
reason why ii wouldn't work admira-
bly,
The committee took leave of General
Corbin and walked over to the White
House and alter wait saw the presi-
dent.
The president said he felt he could
assure the committee that Colonel
Hawkins would at least receive the
brevet rank OF brigadier general before
he WIS mustered out, but before the
question OF making him a full brigadier
WAS decided it would be necessary TO
consult the military records and confer
with General Otis, on whose recon-

depend. de also said;

regiments who have been ON service in

work there beyond the time required of
them by the terms of their enlistment.
No finer instance OF heroic and self-sac-
riffcing patriotism has been known in
the history of our country"
The president then inquired when it
was expected the Tenth would reach

a purpose to be there himself, if pos

Poor George,
After four months had elapsed George

story:
''Everybody knows" he said, that my
engagement has been broken. but no one
knows how it happened. Formerly
was greatly annoyed by those confounded
mother-in-law jokes in the comic papers,
which. besides their staleness and unorig-

was involved,
"As the time for the wedding drew
nearer and nearer, | began to realize that

Nothing like Bar-Ben has ever been
known before in the history of mod
ern remedies. The most complicated
and aggravated of cases, heretofore
considered incurable, yield instantly
to the wonderful curative properties
of this new discovery. Bar-Ben Is as
different from anything and every
thing else as day is from night. The
effects differ from the effects of other
so-called sexual remedies, in that 1t
is not a stimulant, but Il BLOOD,
NERVE and BRAIN BUILDER. 1t
creates solid flesh, muscle and
strength, and irfuSes new vigOr and
vitality into the weak, nervous
broken-duwu system, while its eff
fects are quickly apparent. and as as
tonishing as they are lasting. The
testimony of thousands of men and
women whom il has lifted from a
helpless condition OF long suffering,
tells the tale OF the great discovery
more effectually than words can por-
tray.
Bar-Ben Restorative is prepared in
small sugar-coated tablets, easy to
swallow, a box of 60 tablets 80 cents.
or six boxes $3.50. Sold by druggists
