Treaties Provide Protection for

Washington, July 3O-The Panama
Canal, which will be open 90 com
merce in two weeks, is destined at the
outset to become strategic highway
Of the world if the present hostlllties
between Austria Hungary and Servia
dcvelop into a general conflict lnvolv-
ing the other great European powers.
There was much speculation IN dlplo-
matte circles tonight over the part
the great isthmian waterway may play
in the impending e"ents.
Treaty stipulation provides that the
Panama waterway, like the Suez Canal,
shall be absolutely neutralized. 1t
shall be free and open TO the vessels
of commerce and Of war OF all nations
and shall never be blockaded, nor
shall any right of war be exercised
nor any act of hostility be committed
within it," 1t was suggested here that
A large part Of the commerce when
now is passing through the Suez mlg"t

TO the conflict define more and more
sharply the commodities 20 be included
in contraband of war.
While the vessels Of war. as well as
OF commerce, Of belligcrcnts may Tree
" use the canal. exact rules have been
devised 10 maintain the strlctest
neutrality Of the waterway. Inc
transit Of war vessels must be made
with the least possible delay and with
only such intermissions as may result
from the necessities Of the service. No
belligerent may "embark or disemDarN
troops, munitions OF war or warhKe
materials in the canal, except IN case
Of accidental hindrancc Of the tfansit
and in such case the transit snail De
resumed with all possible dispatch.
The treaty provisions prompting
any act of hostility in the canal pre-
cludos any war vessel from exercising
the right of search on a commercial
vessel in transit through the waterway.
and this provision Likewise protects All
ships Within three marine miles OF
either terminal.
What may happen to vessels carrying
contraband. either OF the high seas OF
the Atlantic or Pacific. is their own &C
count. War vessels may not remain

than twcnty four hours. the treaty
stipulates that "a vessel one beiiig-
