States at Variance Shlin Each Choose 'a Power, to Which Disputes Shall Be Referred and “Pvery Eflort For Settlementl’Put Forth. THE HAGUE, June 6.—The arbitra- tion committee of the peace conference held a meeting yesterday under the chairmanship of M. Leon Bourgeois. Mr. Andrew D. White, head of the Unit- ed States delegation; Sir Julian Paunce- fote, head of the British delegation, and M. de Staal, head of the Russian delega- tion, with all the members of the com- mittee, were present. ' After M. Bourgeois ,had made a sym- pathetic reference to the death of Miss Roth, daughter of Dr. Roth, head of the Swiss delegation, who was killed in a railway accident last Thursday at Flush— ing, the secretary of the drafting com- mittee read the draft scheme of media- tion it had had under consideration. Articles 1 and 2 are declaratory, to the effect that the signatory powers, in order ‘ to prevent a recourse to force, have agreed to effect pacific solutions of differ— ences and will, except in exceptional cir- cumstances, before an appeal to force, have recourse to the mediation of one or more friendly powers. Article 3 reads as follows: “Independently of a recourse to such amicable means the signatories deem it expedient that one or more powers not concerned in the conflict should offer of its or their own initiative and so far as circumstances will permit its or their good offices of mediation to the states at variance. The right to offer good offices of mediation belongs to powers not con- cerned in the conflict, even during the course of actual hostilities, and the exer- cise pf this right can never be considered by the parties at variance as an un- friendly act.” . Article 3 provides that the role of me- diator phall consist in the reconciliation of c'o’nflicting claims and the allaying of bitterness between states at variance. Article 5, defining the limitations of thezfunctions of a mediator, says these shall cease 'on the moment when it is stated by one of the parties to the dis: pute or by the mediator that the arrange- mentpr the bases of a friendly under— standing propoged by him is accepted. Artihle 6 saypthat the good offices con- templated, either at the instance of the pagties at yariance or on the initiative of u involtfcd powers. are exclusively of the Ne . character f fr dly counsel. Art‘ MW “Acceptance of mediation cannot have the effect, except by virtue of a conven- tion to the contrary, of interrupting or re- tarding or hampering mobilization or other preparations for war. If mediation intervenes after the opening of hostilities, it shall not interrupt, except by virtue of a convention to the contrary, military op- eration in course of execution.” Article 8 reads as follows: “The signatories are in accord to rec- ommend, in all circumstances permitting it, special mediation in the following form?~ “In the event of grave' differences, threatening peace the states at variance shall choose respectively a power to which each shall confide the mission of entering into direct relations with the power chosen by the other side in order to prevent a rupture of friendly relations. During the currency of their mandate, which, except in the event of a stipula— tion to the contrary, shall not exceed 30 days, the question in dispute shall be considered as referred exclusively to these powers. They shall apply all their efforts to settle the dispute, and in the event of an actual rupture of friendly re- lations shall remain charged witlrthc mission of taking advantage of every oc- casion to restore peace.” The draft was adopted without modifi- cation. although the committee stipulated that it should be subject to modifications at the second reading. The naval section of the armaments committee has unanimously rejected the Russian proposals. . as .l l ,G 3!. An Excellent Count.
