of the other party. It shall be sufficient for this purpose if such 

 Case is delivered at the British Embassy at Washington or at the 

 American Embassy at London, as the case may be, for transmission 

 to the agent for its Government. 



Within fifteen days thereafter such printed Case and accompany- 

 ing evidence of each of the parties shall be delivered in duplicate to 

 each member of the tribunal, and such delivery may be made by 

 depositing within the stated period the necessary number of copies 

 with the International Bureau at The Hague for transmission to the 

 arbitrators. 



After the delivery on both sides of such printed Case, either party 

 may, in like manner, and within four months after the expiration of 

 the period above fixed for the delivery to jthe agents of the Case, 

 deliver to the agent of the other party (with such additional copies 

 as may be agreed upon), a printed Counter-Case accompanied by 

 printed copies of additional documents, correspondence, and other 

 evidence in reply to the Case, documents, correspondence, and other 

 evidence so presented by the other party, and within fifteen days 

 thereafter such party shall, in like manner as above provided, deliver 

 in duplicate such Counter-Case and accompanying evidence to each of 

 the arbitrators. 



The foregoing provisions shall not prevent the tribunal from per- 

 mitting either party to rely at the hearing upon documentary or other 

 evidence which is shown to have become open to its investigation or 

 examination or available for use too late to be submitted within the 

 period hereinabove fixed for the delivery of copies of evidence, but 

 in case any such evidence is to be presented, printed copies of it, as 

 soon as possible after it is secured, must be delivered, in like manner 

 as provided for the delivery of copies of other evidence, to each of 

 the arbitrators and to the agent of the other party. The admission 

 of any such additional evidence, however, shall be subject to such con- 

 ditions as the tribunal may impose, and the other party shall have a 

 reasonable opportunity to offer additional evidence in rebuttal. 



The tribunal shall take into consideration all evidence which is 

 offered by either party. 



ARTICLE 7. 



If in the Case or Counter-Case (exclusive of the accompanying evi- 

 dence) either party shall have specified or referred to any documents, 

 correspondence, or other evidence in its own exclusive possession 

 without annexing a copy, such party shall be bound, if the other party 

 shall demand it within thirty days after the delivery of the Case or 

 Counter-Case respectively, to furnish to the party applying for it a 

 copy thereof; and either party may, within the like time, demand 

 that the other shall furnish certified copies or produce for inspection 

 the originals of any documentary evidence adduced by the party upon 

 whom the demand is made. It shall be the duty of the party upon 

 whom any such demand is made to comply with it as soon as may be, 

 and within a period not exceeding fifteen days after the demand has 

 been received. The production for inspection or the furnishing to the 

 other party of official governmental publications, publishing, as 

 authentic, copies of the documentary evidence referred to, shall be a 

 sufficient compliance with such demand, if such governmental publi-
