Japan Signed Pact
0ut|awing Attacks
Against Open Cities
Hague Convention Rules
Out Bomburdment Of
Undefended Towns
b. the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A plainly worded clause in The
Hague Convention of 1907, which
Japan's representatives signed, ex-
pressly outlawed such attack on
civilians as yesterdays merciless
air bombardment of defenselesS
Manila.
. Article 25 of the regulations said:
The attack or bombardment, by
whatever means, of towns. villages,
dwellings or buildings which are
undefended is prohibited"
This was the clause invoked by
the Navy in yesterdays communique
which said that Manila has been
declared an open city as defined in
The Hague Convention (V) of 1907,
Annex, Article 25.'
Our forces have complied with
the stipulations of that convention"
the Navy added.
The War Department at the
same time published a notice from
! Gen. Douglas Macarthur that the
Philippine capital had been declared
an open city. undefended.
Japan Signed Convention.
Assailed for hours by unopposed
Japanese bombers. Manila thus
joined European cities that have
been ruthlessly attacked in the last
two years. Other notable instances
were Rotterdam and Belgrade.
The Hague Convention to ehmi-
nate as many barbarities as possible
from war was formally signed by
two representatives of the japanese
Emperor. Keiroku Tsudzuki and
Aimaro Sato.
American Government authori-
ties took the position that the War
and Navy Departments statements
reinforcing the formal proclamation
of Gen. Macarthur, constituted am
pie notification, in view of the speed
and certainty of modern communi-
cations. Communicates are freely
broadcast and presumably are tram
scribed in Toxic.
Whether other measures were
taken to make sure that the Japa-
nese were put on notice could not be
lscertained Immediately.
Paris Was Not Defended.
When Paris was threatened by the
! advancing Nazi armies 18 months
ago, the French Government went
! to the extreme of sending notice to
the Germans through American
diplomatic channels that the city
would not be defended.

Savings Totaling 81, ZIG, 200
Proposed By Governor

Annapolis, March 17:--In keeping
with the administration policy of ap-
proving only essential additions
to State construction or activities,
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor pro-
posed to the General Assembly the
elimination from the Bond Issue
Bill of $1,5OO,OO0 that had been
included for erection of two Chronic
Disease Hospitals.
This, coming on the heels of cut
by Governor O'Conor of $216, 100000
In the proposed relief expenditures
for the next two years, as the result
of the experience in Relief cost for
the first five months of this fiscal
year, will reduce by almost $4,000
10000, the initial proposals for ex-
penitures for the biennium.
In making public his proposal re-
garding the elimination of the
Chronic Hospitals Governor O'Conor
declared, Several considerations
should be borne in mind in deciding
whether we should build the
Chronic Disease Hospitals under
present circumstances. National De-
Tense activities are being greatly ex-
banded with their anticipated heav-
Ter tax burdens on the general pub
lie. While we in Maryland are re-
ducing taxes, it is nevertheless true
that our citizens will be required to
pay heavier Federal imposts. Then
again, the material and labor which
will be necessary for the construc-
ton Of these two large buildings
might be sorely needed during the
next year or two.
Under present plans, the total
bonded Indebtedness of the State,
which two years ago amounted to
$48,157, 900 will be reduced by
September 80, 1913, to $33,S65, 900.
If the Chronic Disease Hospitals
item is eliminated this will reduce
the outstanding Indebtedness to
slightly more than $32,0OO,000.
Thus reduction of 1-3 of the bond
ed Indebtedness of the State will be
accomplished in the present period.
can additional fact is that have
found, through canvassing among
members of the Boards of County
Commissioners and County repre-
sentatives, that immediate construc-
ton of the Chronic Disease Hospit-
ais will not result in the closing of
Almhouses throughout the State,
which was the definite object I had
in mind in making the original pro-
posal. County officials definitely
state that they do not wish to close
Almhouses and, of course, there is
no method by which we can force
them to do so.
"a careful check in the present
Legislature discloses the fact that
the Bill for the erection of the
Chronic Disease Hospitals cannot be
passed unless it is stipulated that it
will not operate to close the Aims.
houses. Thus, our primary objective
would not be accomplished and un-
til a different sentiment exists, we
might defer final action on this
PROPOSAL"
