HAGUE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Ul , „ The Hague, July 15, At the Peace Convention the Fourth Committee discussed at great length tfe question of the transformation of awchantmen into warships. i Austria proposed that a vessel once transformed must remain so throughout - the war in order to prevent naval har. , niaphroditisin. Germany urged that transformation' he prohibited in neutral waters, thoiwh it would be permissible in the open sea. c Great Britain contended that transformation, being an act of sovereignty, could only be effected at home. Fiance suggested to put into publication each act of conversion and give noti- ■ ' fication thereof to neutrals. The United States defines absolute -,' ' contraband as objects which, by reason '"-"'' of their quantity and quality, if des- -"- tdied for an enemy's use, must be regarded as contraband. The United States insists that belli- ' gerents should supply neutrals with a" .■ list of objects regarded as absolute and conditional contraband twenty - four hours before the right to seize accrues. -
