Special cabl. BeIpateh to The sUr.
THE HAGUE. June AT yesterdays sitting
Of the Brussels Conference section OF the Peace
Conferences Committee on the Laws OF War,
clauses Is to 10 Of the Brussels convention
were debated and the following was adopted:
Clause 15-Cites, towns. dwellings and
ships which are undefended may not be at
tackled or bonn parded.'
The first part OF clause II was altered to
read thus I'm sieges and commandments all
necessary measures must be taken to spare as
far as possible buildings devoted to divine SER
vices arts. sciences. benevoence. and hospitals
and other places for housing the sick and

In subsequent debate on clauses 53 to So.
NJ Eyschen OF Luxembourg said ne wished the
rights and duties OF neutras to be stipulated.
He made lengthy speech In behalf Of the
principle OF neutrality. but the President and
others deprecated discussion OF the COM
pcated question. which they doubted was
within the authority OF the conference. NJ.
Fyschen announced that he would submit def
mite proposals at the next sitting.
The select committee on the arbitration
proposals began to review the Russian pro-
posals concerning the points which this
signatories agree to submit to compul-
sorry arbitration. Three important subjects
were rejected, namely. the conventions
relating to navigation; secondly. inter-
national rivers and interoceanic canals. and
thirdly. monetary conventions. The British
and American members Of the committee
argued that these might involve vital inter-
ests OF the nations and national honor which
arc specifically reserved in the Russian scheme
The matters that may ultimately be sub
mitted to compulsory arbitration are pecu-
MARY claims for illegal action or neglect toward
subject Of another State. postal. tele-
graph and sanitary conventions. treaties
relating to literary. artistic and indus
trial property boundaries that have only tech
meal and not political interest, questions OF
