THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

GERMANS COMPLAIN OF sECRECY-THE
AMERICAN ARBITRATION PROPOSALS.
The Hague June 10-The chief delegates TO
the Peace Conference met this morning TO dis
cuss German complaints against the secrecy
imposed upon the delegates and the consequence
Of misleading reports published, and it is under
stood that Count Munster head OF the German
delegation was instructed 10 propose that the
protocols on the plenary sittings OF the commit
tees be published Immediately after they
drawn uo.
American delegates tell the representatives
here OF The Associated Press that they are still
confident Of the adoption OF some Of their chief
projects for arbitration. But the preliminary
discussion yesterday indicates the imposslbility
Of maintaining them all. For instance, it is i'm
possible to carry the proposal that the judges
Of the arbitration tribunal be elected by the
highest court OF justice OF each country. as
some OF the European countries do not possess
q judicial organization permitting such proceed
ure. 1t Is expected that the likeliest outcome
will be that each country will be free 10 choose
the manner Of nominating its own judges.
The Americans propose 10 insist upon per-
manent tribunal. II this is impossible. they
hope 70 obtain at any rate. the institution Of
permanent commission. They will also insist
on other points.
