LETTERS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN,

The letters coming TO this paper
from the school children of the Terri
tory are most interesting, and 1t is
the hope of the Bull letin that
readers who have not given them
special attention will do so in the
future.
These letters, from all parts of the
Islands, will give more thorough in
sight to the character of the pupils
und what they are doing than can be
obtained in any other way. The per-
eonal interest the children are TAX
ing in the care of school grounds, the
methods of organization, the excel
lence of penmanship, the manner Of
expressing their thoughts, coupled
with the diversity of race and ma
tionality evidenced by the youthful
writers, all combine to furnish much
valuable instructive material for the
older heads of the Territory.
The letters are not edited before
they are published, except in case OF
some slight inaccuracy. We wish we
might be able to publish fac-simile
of each letter to show what good pen
manship rules in every school thus
far heard from. The original letters
are carefully preserved and anyone
desiring to go over them may do so
by calling at the Bulletin Office.
In this issue a letter from Prof.
Krause is published. 1t was written
in response to request for sugges-
tions on Il method of marking and
will undoubtedly furnish the basis
for the final schedule of credits to
rule the contest.
As letters come in from various
districts, 1t is apparent that there
will be no lack OF ingenuity, enter
prise and persistent effort to bring

THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.
Question OF Contraband Goes to an
Examination Committee.

THE HAGUE, July 31.-The British
proposition for the abolition of contraband
was adopted in committee today by Is votes
to 5. Representatives OF the United States
Germany, France. Russia and Montenegro
expressed themselves as opposed to the
measure, and Japan. Spain, Panama, Greece
and Roumania abstained from voting.
There were also ten absentees.
In explanation Of the American vote in
opposition Joseph~H. Choate declared It
was the plan Of the United States to limit,
in every way possible, the list Of objects
that shall be considered contraband of war,
but to go further than this now would be
a violation of "a long-established custom.
The change, Mr.. Choate continued, will
create many uncertainties regarding the
rights and duties of neutrals and belliger-
ents, prove more injurious to the commerce
of the world than the existing custom, and
contribute nothing to the interests of peace.
The British proposal on contraband. to-
gether with the proposals submitted by the
United States and Germany the same
subject has been sent to committee for ex-
animation. The American proposal divides
contraband into two classes, absolute and
conditional.
