In the Herald of April 20 appears q
notice to the effect that the body of
Lieut.. Beverly Perea, u. s. A., brought
from Cambridge. Mass, was the first
colored officer to be buried in the
Arlington National cemetery.
This statement is not correct, as the
bodies OF both DR.. Alexander T. Au.

hospital, and for many years a prac-
ticing physician in this city, and Capt.
o. s. B. Wall of this city have been
buried in the Arlington National ceme-
terry. for many years, both being buried
in the officers section, with monu-

former officers grave is close to the

therefrom.
In addition to these two officers of

the use of armed forces or for the mil
itary establishments OF the enemy
Makes Three Proposals.
Mr.. Moore said Lord Grey had been
more prophetic than he knew when ne
pointed to the futility OF attempting
TO prevent beliigerents from obtaining
the munitions they needed, and the
difficulty in reaching an agreement as
to contraband, "by reason of the in
crease in the tonnage of ships, the
carrying of mixed cargoes, the lack OF
any single destination of ship or car
go, the multiplication of the number
of articles used in war, and the de-
velopment of railways and other
means Jbf transportation.
"A solution must, in my opinion.
he continued, ''be sought if not in the
abolition of the principle of contra
band, at any rate in the adoption of
plan embracing Cd the abolition of
conditional contraband,' and (2l a
single list having been agreed upon,
in the cooperation of neutraIs and bel
ligerents in the certifcations of the
contents of the cargoes, so that the
risk of capture may be equally borne
by those who may voluntarily assume
it, and harassing searches and deten-
tons on more be heard Of
The seas outside territorial waters
are the common highway of nations"
he said. "and none of them has the
right to render the use of that high
way insecure. Few days pass in which
one does not read a report of the
blowing up of merchant or fishing
vessel by contact with q mine. As a
method of warfare, this must be re
garded as an atrocity which no ma
lion is at liberty to perpetrate.'
