Peace Conference Concludes After Prohibition Vote
At The Hague on July 22 Baron De Staal presided as the peace congress finished the first committee work. Prohibition of dropping explosives from balloons and of asphyxiating projectiles were approved by most, but the United States and Great Britain abstained on the latter. The dumdum bullet issue sparked debate as Mr. Andrew D White opposed blanket prohibition, warning of an even crueller substitute. Capt. Crozier proposed a ban on bullets causing unnecessary cruelty, which failed against Karnebeck's version accepted by the body with only Britain and the United States voting against. The conference’s labors end, save for arbitration committee work.
