HAGUE PROPOSITIONS Schemes Presented at the Peace Congress by Several of the Delegations. UNCLE SAM ON BOMBARDMENTS Wanti to Protect Unfortified Towns Utile for lied Cross Hospital Ships International Admiralty Court. Tho H:irio, June '21. The text ot the United States rrroiosILiou. presented to the peace conference on June 24 by General Horace Porter Is ns follows: "The bombardment by a naval force of unfortified and undefended towns, villages or bulldinccs Is forbidden, although such towns, villages r buildings are liable to damages incidental to the destruction of military or naval establishments, public depots of munitions of war or vessels of war in port, and such towns, villages or buildings are liable to bombardment when reasonable requisitions for provisions and supplies at the time essential to the naval force are withheld, in which case due notice of the bombardment must be given. The bombardment of unfortified and undefended towns and places for the non-payment of ransom Is forbidden." Provisions for Hospital Ships. The German proposition for adapting the Red Cross convention to naval warfare, which was presented on June 24, says that hospital ships cannot be captured, not being considered as war ships. Private hospital ships will en joy the same treatment, if authorized by their own government, and on ecu ditlon that they are certified to the otb. er belligerent They must assist the wounded without distinction of nation ality, and must never be employed for military purposes or Interfere with military operations. They are subject to search, and can bo ordered by eith er belligerent to take certain positions or receive aboard special officials. How They Will Be Known. Military hospital ships are to be painted white, with a large horizontal green stripe; private hospital ships will be white, with a red stripe. All must hoist the Ped Cross flag. In case of necessity the commanders of warships can employ hospital ships after having made certain that the patients have been removed elsewhere. The protection granted hospital ships ceases if they are employed against the enemy, but the crews of such ships may be armed and may employ arms in their own defense and in defense of the patients. Such ships can also car ry email artillery for the dangers of navigation or In defense against idrates. DISPOSITION OF CAPTURES International Permanent Court to Decide About Prizes. The proposal presented by the British delegates provides for the establishment of an international permanent court of appeals in regard tJ prizes captured at sea. A neutral pow er may appeal to this court from the finding of a prize court A German proposal in the same connection pro vides that within a fortnight after the opening of hostilities each belligerent must appoint an admiral who will re quest a neutral power to name within a fortnight a member of The Hague court of arbitration. Within another fortnight these two neutral powers "will meet and choose a fifth member or the proposed court from among uieir own members of The Ilague ar bitration tribunal. The German proposition of June 22 adds three new articles to the conven tion of for peacefully regulating international conflicts. This proposi tion establishes that if the signatory powers are agreed to have a special treaty of arbitration for each conflict between them they can have recourse to a permanent court of arbitration at The Ilasrue, which for that purpose "will be formed of five members, each party to the agreement choosing one and the remaining three members being chosen by three distinterested powers. France presented two proposhlms for the peaceful regulation of international conflicts. The first proposition, "which contains twenty-five artlc'es, saya that in disputes of an intrnialioTial character, not engaging their honor or essential Interests, the signatory powers may decide to appoint an international commission cf inquiry, according to a convention agreed upon by the conflicting parties. In such case the whole procedure must occur in writing, although witnesses and experts may he heard orally. The second proposition, which also contains twenty-five artkles, deals with the formation of tin's commission and its procedure. It shall meet behind closed doors, and the details of the hearing may be published only if the parties ajnree.

Lake Shore Will Take Step to Provide rineat Roadbed la County. To eliminate dust the management of the New York Central lines has decided to use a rock ballast top for the famous Lake Shore line between Chicago and Buffalo. The Lake Shore is conceded by railway track experts to be probably the finest riding roadbed in the world. Gravel has been the material used under the track. Though this filling has been successful and has meant easy riding and a resilient track, it is dusty. The company will not entirely abandon gravel, as the broken stone will be placed on top of a gravel foundation. This is the system of ballast used by the Illinois Central. For several years rock as a top dressing has been used by the Lake Shore's line out of Chicago. Now the crushed stone will ba extended ail over the system.
