Conferences Work.
Root Expresses Belief in Letters
Transmitting Them that Much
Was Done Toward Peace.

The Senate in executive session yes
terday ratified without opposition six OF
the treaties adopted by The Hague Peace
Conference.
These treaties relate 10 the opening OF
hostilities, the laws and customs OF war
on land. the rights and duties OF neutral
powers and persons in case OF war on
land. the laying of automatic submarine
contact mines. bombardment by naval
forces in time Of war. and the adaptation
10 naval war Of the principles OF the
Geneva convention.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Re
lations will meet to-day 10 hear Secretary
Root with reference to other treaties
signed by the American delegates TO the
peace conference and two treaties which
were not signed by the American dele
gates, but were transmitted TO the Senate
| for its consideration.
Among the treaties signed but not re-
ported to the Senate by the Committee
Of Foreign Relations was that providing
for the pacific settlement OF International
disputes. In transmitting this treaty 10
the Senate. President Roosevelt approved
a recommendation Of Secretary Root that
the treaty's ratification should be subject
10 the following declaration;
I'm approving the convention for the
Pacific settlement on international dis
putcs. the United States exercises the
option contained in Article So Of said
convention to exclude the formulation Of
the compromise by the Permanent Court,
and hereby expressly excludes from the
competence OF the Permanent Court the
power TO frame the compromise required
by general or special treaties Of arbitra-
ton, concluded or hereafter 20 be cor
cluded by the United States and
| further expressly declares that the com
promise required by any treaty of arbf-
tration 10 which the United States may
be party shall be settled only by agree
ment between the contracting parties,
unless such treaty shall expressly provide
| otherwise
The seal of secrecy was removed from a
letter to the President yesterday forward
/ ing the treaties for transmittal to the
Senate, In which Mr.. Root said:
Let me go beyond the limits of the Gus
| tomary formal letter of transmittal and
say that 1 think the work of the second
! Hague Conference, which is mainly en-
bodied in these conventions. presents the
greatest advance ever made at any single
| time toward any reasonable and peaceful
regulation OF international conduct. IN
! less il be the advance made at the Hague
| conference of 1899.
| The most valuable result OF the confer
ence of 1899, was that il made the work
of 1907 possible. The achievements OF the
two conferences justify the belief that the
world has entered upon an orderly pro-
cess through which step by step in success
sive conferences, each taking the work Of
its predecessors as its point of departure
there may be continual progress toward
making the practice of civilized nations
conform to their peaceful professions"

he comes. He even went so far as "a
say that he did not know what appliea-

America and Japan. but he was sure
