Council to Act Next
Monday on Re
port.
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.
The report of the executive commit
tee of ten, as adopted unanimously by
the committee of forty-two and passed
up to councH, recommenda annexation
of East Point, Kirkwood, Decatur, Edge-
wood, Oakland City, East End. 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.
The warmest light will be on the ques
tion of the annexation of Decatur.
Kirkwood and East Point, the objec
tion being to their distance from the
present city limits.
Different Plant.
Alderman Qullllan, a member of the
executive committee, and others have
announced their opposition to annex

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.

The Hague, June 27.—One of the

to the amelioration of the horrors of

must give aid to the wounded of both
sides Impartially, but they shall be un

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

Another proposition which haacaused
