at Hague That
HOstilities Must Be Pro-
ceeded by Declaration
NEUTRAL STATES RIGHTS
Territory Is InvioIabIe and
Expectation OF Provisions fer
BeIligerents From Their
Territory Is Forbidden.
Treatment of Neutrals.

THE HAGUE, Sept. THE. hfth
plenary sitting of the peace conference,
NJ. Nelidoff presiding, met this morning
in the Knights Hall. The delegates
were not so numerous as on the occa-
sion of former sittings, several OF them
having temporarily left The Hague
while awaiting a debate on more Inn
portant questions. The whole American
delegation was present.
The following rules regarding b
opening of hostilities were adopted, q
few countries making reservations.
1.-THE contracting powers agree fthat
hostilities must not begin without pre-
vious unequivocal notice having been
given, either in the form of a declara-
ton of war, setting forth its motives.
or in the form of an ultimatum with
conditional declaration of war.
"A state Of war must be notified
without delay to the neutral powers,
the effect for the latter beginning after
they receive notice, which can be given
even by wire. In any case the neutral
powers cannot protest against the lack
of this notice If 1t is established that
they undoubtedly knew that a state OF
war exists" g
The sitting also approved, with some
reserves, the agreements concerning the
rights and duties of neutral states IN
time of war.
The land rules include the following:
1.-The territory OF neutral states Is In
violable.
"Belligerents cannot establish wireless
telegraph stations in neutral territory, Or
any other means of communication with
belligerent forces on land or sea.
volunteers cannot be enlisted or a body
Of combatants formed in neutral territory.
THE expectation Of provisions from neu-
trail states and the transport Of provisions
for belligerents are forbidden.
"Belligerents are allowed to use means
of communication belonging to neutrals or
private companies.
prisoners who escape to neutral terri-
tory, IL ~recaptured by troops must, after
having asked for refuge in a neutral state,
be set free. ~
"A neutral state can defend its neutral
ity by force without this constituting an
act of hostility"
When the project regarding the treatment
of n~eutrals in belligerent territory was
brought up for discussion Baron Marschall'
van Biebersfein Germany objected, say
ing that Germany could not admit the prin-
ciole supported by Great Britain to en-
lploy n~eutrals in warfare when the laws OF
a belligerent state permitted 1t. Ger
many. on the contrary. maintained that
~neutiaIs must take no part in a war.
On the motion of Co1nt TornieIn (Italy9.
the proposition Of this. subject was returned
to committee for further study, In the hope
of reaching an understanding acceptable 10
all.

GIVENOUT FOR
PRIMARY
City Clerk Made Trip at 1
O'clock This Morning.
to Chief Justice.

City Clerk James F. Connolly today
ordered the clerks in his office to dis
tribute the primary ballots among the
city election officers. This order came
from City Clerk Connolly from Bradley
Beach at noon today, following a con-
ference with Chief Justice Gummere
over alleged illegal Regular Republican
petition from the third district of the
Ninth Ward. They, too, will be dis
Itributed though a protest was made.
The chief justice would not interfere
In the matter, which put the matter
up to Mr.. Connolly.
The latter took the position that he
was a ministerial officer and had no
right to interfere with the petition so
long as they appeared proper on their
face.
The result is thai the ballots. which
have been held up pending the action
of the New Idea men, are now being
distributed.
Harry v. Osborne. counsel for the New
Idea men, went TO Point Pleasant. together
with Mr. Hancock. Of the City Clerks
office, In charge Of the petitions. to lay the
matter before the Chief Justice.
On their return at midnight, Mr.. Os-
borne presented a letter to Mr.. Connolly
from Justice Gummefe. VINO, IN a IflehuiS
manner, advised that the matter was up to
the City Clerk to take the evidence and
determine whether the petition should be
thrown out.
The City Clerk did not wish to assume
judicial duties and decided to explain his
position to the Chief Justice. city Clerk
Connolly and Mr.. Bross took the Az train
from Newark to Point Pleasant this morn
ing. arriving at that point at 500. At $
o'clock, they called atNthe justices house
before he left to take the train to some
point where he has business to settle. They
arrived at the station in time to meet the
Justice and take the same train with him,
thus giving MI. Connolly and Mr.. Bross
time to go over the different questions of
the primary act with him. The chief JUS
tice then told Mr.. Connolly his position
was correct.
