HAGUE DELEGATES DIVIDED
Much Opposition to American PropO-
sitiOn of dnvioIabiIity of Pri-
vate Property.

THE HAGUE, July S-The opposition to
the American proposition before the peace
conference on the inviolabilty of private
property at sea is increasing. 1t now
seems that Russia and France are not
even in favor of the Italian amendment
suggesting that belligerents be allowed to
have the property captured at sea, but that
such property be returned after the war
and that the owners be paid an indemnity
for the damage
Japan is preparing a proposition regard
ing the use Of wireless telegraphy based
on its experience during the Russo-Japa-
nese war, while other powers are desirous
of proposing that submarine cables be
classed as neutral property.
The Japanese have not presented any
proposition regarding the bombardment of
towns, but have asked the Americans, who
in their proposition desire to prohibit the
bombardment of towns for not paying ram
SONS, to propose the abolition of the pay
ment OF ransoms in order to escape bonn
bardment.
Miss Anna Eckstein has requested an
audience of President Nelidoff in order 20

JAPAN UsINGs Gsltd0RE CAUTION

Carefully Edited, Lest Others

TOXIC, July 3.-The expected outburst of
indignation in view of the latest develop
ment In the anti-Japanese movement in
San Francisco has not yet appeared on the
surface. The press is remarkably silent so
far. In the course OF conversation with
men in high circles who are well Informed
on the present situation they express them
selves as being apprehensive that the lin-
restrained sway of indignation over the dis
elimination against Japanese in America
might fall into the hands of a third power
which is always aiming TO arrest Japan's
progress. While advocating firm measures
to remove the cause of grievances OF COM
patriots victimized in the anti-Japanese
movement, prudent handling OF the situa-
tion is recommended lest Japan be placed
in the position of picking chestnuts out OF
the fire for third party. Who this third
power is may not be difficult to guess. but
IN the course of conversation the name is
carefully avoided
