he sent this telegraphic boost for
his friend Nagel: "Nasei Is the

claim that the NAtional oall did
not authorize this convention to

and 1t was Nisdringhaus' friends,
it was said, who Incorporated that

NAVAL WAR RULES
TO BE MADE AT CONGRESS OF
TEN NATIONS
TO DECIDE IMPORTANT POINTS
America, Great Britain and japan
Practically United in Demands
for Prize Court Laws.
TO DECIDE IMPORTANT POINTS

London, Gable: America, Great
Britain and Japan will support practic
ally the same ideas for the code OF
laws for the international prize court
governing the conduct of warfare on
the high seas. especially as TO non
combatant vessels. Ten powers will
be represented at the congress which
is TO decide these laws, and their en-
forcement will be done by the court
to be appointed by The Hague tri
bunal.
II is hoped that the powers may be
able TO devise a system of rules where
by such deplorable incidents as the
firing upon the English fishing vessels
by the Russian feet during the Russo
japanese war may be avoided in the
future. America, Great Britain and
Japan seek To insert paragraph in
the rules especially declaring coast
wise fishing vessels exempt from
seizure or hostile action.
The three nations heretofore named
differ on some OF the minor parts OF
the rules. but the greatest difficulty. il
is expected. will be TO persuade Ger
many and Russia to accept some OF
the important proposals.
The American views include the fol
lowing suggestions:
A neutral ship found within the lin
its OF a belligerent power may be
seized. destroyed or used for warlike
purposes. but the proprietors must be
Unidentified.
In cases where the enemy has not
observed the usages of war and the
delinquent can not be captured. there
may. be recourse TO reprisals. but al
WAYS in accordance with the dictates
of humanity.
The reprisals should not exceed In
severity the offense committed and
should not be repeated after repara
tion has been made for the injury
complained OF.
All ships in the public service OF the
enemy are subject to capture, except
those employed in purely charitable oil
scientific work. voyages Of discovery
and as hospital ships.
All private vessels belonging to the
enemy except bona fide coastal boat:
are subject to capture unless exempt
under treaty. In case OF military anC
other needs private ships of the enc
my can be destroyed or retained foi
service of the government.
Neutral ships employed in naval Of
military service OF the enemy. d
placed under control of the enemy fol

to capture and destruction.
Warships of the United states o
