Rights of Tribunal and Permanent
Court at The Hague.

The Hague. Aug. 20-Tfe special commission
which is examining the American proposal re-
garding a permanent court of arbitration dis
cussed to-day Article 16 of the proposal. under
which the court is authorized to revise the
fences handed down by the arbitration tribunal.
The commission decided that these sentences
must be revised by the original tribunal, the
permanent court intervening only when the liti-
giants apply to it.
Nearly all the governments have sent instruc-
tions their delegations to the peace confer
ence to make an effort TO bring about some kind
of obligatory arbitration and also the establish
ment of a permanent court of arbitration in
order TO save the conference from failure. The
efforts of the delegates are now directed toward
the arrangement Of j treaty Of obligatory arbi-
tration acceptable to Germany. which. although
admitting the principle of compulson, has so
far opposed a world treaty arguing that it
would tend TO minimize rather than promote
obligatory arbitration. 1t is believed that it
will only be possible TO conclude convention
providing for obligatory arbitration among GER
tain powers.
Servia has presented proposal aiming 10
make the awards Of arbitration tribunals o5lis
atory on the signatory powers after an appea!
has resulted in the confirmation Of the first
judgment.
1t is understood shat all the Latin-American
states will accept a permanent arbitration court
although making reservations regarding the al
lotnent of Judges if all the countries are to be
represented
If all the countries represented at the con
ference accept the American proposal the eN-
penses of the arbitration court will be divided
into 2O2 parts. of which the eight great powers

Sented.

The announcement that the George
washington University Athletic Asso-
citation is going to hold indoor games
at Convention Hall on January 25. has
stirred UP tremendous interest in track
and field athletics among the students
and alumni Of the Buff and Blue In
stitution. Manager Fleming, Of the
track team, has an assistant In each
OF the seven departments of tho uni
versitv and weI-Organized promo
ton campaign, which has been in full
swing for two weeks, has had good
results.
There have been a number OF candi-
dates for the George Washington track
team in training since the LIST of De-
cember, but Captain GIL las issued a
formal call for the men t. report to
him at Van Ness Park tomorrow after
noon. For another week The candi-
dates will do only light, easy work, out
OF doors. 1t is likely that following
the example Of Princeton, Cornell, and
Harvard, the G.. w. U. track manage
ment will build a board track in Van
Ness Park for all the runners to use
during the winter season, the candi-
Il

hundred men trying for the different

That there will be nearly fifty entries

tain from the number of inquiries re-
ceived by Manager Fleming. The Buff

These are the men now training: Cap

practicing hard every evening on the
