scientific manner will be necessary
first. am chiefly Interested in the
prevention of floods, but the irriga-

an important one."

orally to naval warfare. Hospital ships
are neutral under the provisions of the
treaty as it now stands. but IL is de-
sired that neutrality shall be extended
to private yachts and other craft which
may desire to engage in the relief of
the sick and wounded
Difficulty has been experienced in ex-
tending the Red Cross to naval war
fare. AT the conference in 1868 nine
articles relating to naval warfare were
prepared. but failed of adoption.
Governments have been unwilling to
accept amendments to the treaty relat-
ing to the engagements on the sea. and
many new articles will be necessary to
cradle the Red Cross to do efficient
work In naval warfare
Great Britain has suggested a number
of amendments to the treaty which re-

suggestion is that all governments shall
provide some means by which soldiers
who are sick or wounded may be identi-
fed without delay.
