RULES FOR BALLOONS in WAR
VOTE AGAINST DROPPING SHELLS
on UNDEFENDED TOWNS.


Dp'tfFsN" NNt'N ~"
Special Cable Despatch % TINE SON.
The HAGUE. Aug. AT the meeting
Of The commission dealing with humane
tartan usaees In warfare Lord Reay to-day
gave Great Britain's adhesion to the declsra-
ton Of the conference in 1899 against the
use OF dum-dum bullets. 1t may be recalled
that Great Britain at the first conference
formally announced that she would not
sign such a decision.
The main purpose Of the commission's
meeting was to seek to frame regulations
for balloons and other aerial adjuncts Of
warfare. Russia. Belgium and Italy had
proposals which were formulated eventually
by Count Tornielli as follows:
ANY balloons used for destructive pur-
poses in warfare should be dirigible and
be manned by regular military crews"
The vote on the proposal stood 8 to Q In
favor Of IL. Eleven delegates abstained
from voting. France headed the bjectors,
maintaining that the best COURSE would be
to simply apply the rules already existing
on bombardment and the use of mines.
Germany shared in this view.
A second proposal f~orbidding the drop
ping of projectiles on undefended towns
and villages or the disch arge OF deleterious
gases thereon. but permitting the dropping
OF projectiles over regularly beleaguered
garrisons, was carried by a vote OF 30 to 2.
There were three abstentions Nine dele
gates we're absent, which means that they
had received no Instructions from their
Governments.
The commission dealing with the capture
or destruction Of prizes and he private
maritime property OF an enemy's citizens
failed entirely to make any progress. NJ.
Renault Of France introduced a declaration
that il was desirable to abolish the practice
OF destroying prizes and that the principle
OF indemnity should be established. Ger
many, Turkey and Russia supported the
first proposal. but reserved their votes on
the second. England, through Sir Ernest
Satow. declared that the question OF in
demnity was now under consideration by
a British royal commission. and that in
regard TO the destruction Of prizes Great
Britain would maintain the right to a k
advantage OF actual practice.
Mr.. Choate Of the American delegation
was also against the French proposal. He
explained that the American law had abol-
ished prize money.
The vote on the proposal to abolish the
destruction Of prizes stood 10 in favor Of 1t
TO 1 against. There were fourteen ALB
stentions. Twelve delegates were absent.
The vote or the proposal to establish the
principle OF indemnity was 7 In favor and
Is against. Fourteen abstained from vot-
ing. Twelve delegates were absent. Both
proposals were sent before an examining
committee, where, in view OF the Importance
OF the opposers, they will be suppressed.
The reasons given by Sir Ernest Satow
for retaining the right to destroy prizes
was stress Of weather. i~nsdequacy OF crews.
the slow progress Of prizes, their defective
condition. or the approach Of an enemy
