What will the city council do with the city extension problem? This Is the question of the hour In city politics, and It is not as easy to answer as it looks upon the face. Council Is practically unanimous In favor of extension, but there Is quite a difference of opinion as to the best character and terms of extension and an even wider breach on the proper extent of extension.

Battle Hill, Brookwood, South Atlanta and other municipalities and unincorpo rated communities. Council is practically cert&in not to adopt the report without some changes.

Greater Atlanta. Battle Hill is included in the plan of “Greater Atlanta;” that is, it is to become a part of the city when the limits are extended. New Railroads.

S. B. TURMAN & CO. J. W. FERGUSON, Auctioneer tnff these three municipalities. Mem ber* of council are outapoken £® vor of annexing only the continuous thick ly populated towns right at hand. Oth ers there are who favor the adoption of the report as it stands. Some of the terms of annexation will cause lively debates In council. The proposed assuming of the bonded In- dehtedness of the annexed municipali ties, the extension of water mains, the building of schools, and like conces sions are sure to meet the opposition of some conucllmen who think Atlanta needs money, water and schools as the city stands now. The arguments In favor of the re tort will he that the Initial expense will not be more than 6260,00(1, and that this could extend over a period ot five years, and that th. taies from the annexed territory would make It self- sustaining, not to mention the argu ments on the blessings of a great pop ulation. . . , .... The population of Atlanta, if the proposed extensions are made, will be In excess of 160,000. But there will be changes In the report, and what they will he no one will know until they are made. A.

The Hague, June 27.—One of the most Interesting proportions looking to the amelioration of the horrors of war which has yet been laid before th* peace conference Is that which comes from Germany providing for the ap plication of the Geneva convention" to naval warfare. It practically makes all hospital ships neutral and provides that they not only must give aid to the wounded of both sides Impartially, but they shall be un der the order, under certain contingen cies, of both belligerents. They are made subject to search and can not be used under any circum stances for military purpose without forfeiting their neutral status. They may only be armed to provide against the dangers of navigation and to pro tect themselves age Inst pirates. Another proposition which haacaused considerable discussion Is that which describes the conditions under which unfortified towns may be bombarded In lime of war, nnd the forbidding of bombardment because of non-payment to lie fed sstrny by the perfunctory lo ot ransom.
