case. Indeed an Ingenious mode OF es-
Gaping the rule has been devised. What
strange commentary on a humanitarian
conference that one OF its results may
very well be the introduction OF more
cruel missile than any at present in use!
When the vote was taken Great Britain
and America were left In the minority.
England and the United States, therefore,
are branded BY the majority as unciviliz9d
and anti-humanitarian states, whites the
Russians are to be congratulated on hav-
ing served the cause OF civilization and
humanity. At least the eccentricities OF
today's debate have almost put matters in
that absurd light.
The Hague, June 22.--The American de-
mand for tho protection OF private prop
city at sea has not yet been presented TO
the peace conference. Andrew d. White,
the head of the American delegation, on
Tuesday requested the president of the
conference, M. DeStael, to submit the ques-
tion to the conference, at the same time
suggesting that the proper way 10 bring
the matter up for discussion would be 10
assemble plenary conference, submit the
question and have it referred to COM
mittee for examination. NJ. DeStael has
hot yet arrived at decision, as the Amerl-
can proposal has not been translated into
French. II is the general opinion that the
delegates of the great powers are absolute
ly opposed TO raising the question, as ar
guing the incompetency OF the conference
to do so under the terms of Count Mura-
vleffs circular, NJ. DeSuael having declared
at the opening of the conference, with the
approval OF the delegates, that under no
circumstances would the conference dis
cuss any question not contained in the
circular Several delegates declare there
was little chance OF the question being
discussed. but that America will be OPP
posed by Great Britain aud all the great
powers.
The delegates declared in favor of any
nation using any new explosives or new
inventions for ordnance, Russia and Bull
garia alone retaining from voting.
The conference finally resolved in favor
of prohibiting the use of bullets which
spread or flatten ouC in tho human body,
such as explosive bullets, bullets in a
hardened case which does not entirely
cover the point, or bullets with an in
cison. The British and American dele
gates alone voted in the negative.
The use of any new explosives in projec-
tiles from balloons was prohibited for five
years,
