THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Little Prospect of Adjournment Be-
fore the Middle Of July


THE HAGUE, June 14.-It is now ex-
pected that the peace conference will not
adjourn before the middle of July. as it is
thought the labors Of the delegates will not
be finished before that time. and there is
the additional question of the acceptance
by the powers Of the decisions adopted by
the conference. The delegates who desire
to see some tangible results accomplished
by the conference recognize that IL the
members are contented with simply trans
hitting the decision to their respective
governments. the work of the delegates viii
simply be pigeon-holed in the various
chancelleries of Europe and will not be ex-
ecuted. Therefore. the delegates have re-
solved to adjourn their sittings as soon
as their work is completed and to submit
the result to their respective governments
with the request that the delegates be en-
powered to sign definite document. 1t is
expected the governments will keep trace Of
the progress of the work. and that they will
require about ten days for deliberation on
their. final decision, which will bring the
final adjournment into the middle of July.
The refusal Of Great Britain to accept
the stipulations Of the Brussels conference
If they are made definite will not prevent
the other powers from pledging themselves
to action in the matter. There Is no doubt
that the Brussels conference subcommittee
will reach a practical result, but 1t is pos
sible some Of the powers. while reservdng
the right to apply the new stipulations when
necessary. may not consent to bind them
selves forthwith.
