UNCLE SAM SCORES
lie Carries His Point at the
Peace Conference.
Mr.. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Unanimous Vote in Favor of Having Cues
ton of Private Property at Sea In
Time ofv & Dealt win by
Special Confer ence.
(By Telegraph.)

THE HAGUE. July I.-lThe American
delegates scored Il great success to-day
in obtaining from the peace conference
unanimous vote in favor Of having
the question of private property at sea
in time of war dealt with at n special
conference to- be summoned hereafter.
Much diplomatic management was
necessary and many obstacles had to be
surmounted before the result was
reached.
The second committee met this morn
ing and Andrew d. White. head Of the
American delegation broached the sub
ject. The question of it's admisSilflity
under the conference mandate was dis
cussed
AT the afternoon sitting of the com
nlittee, the successive clauses of the
laws Of war having been adopted NJ
De ,Mertens. of the Russian delegation.
moved q resolution to that effect. Mr..
White seconded.
MIR. WHITE STATES THE CASE.
In the course of Il clear and eloquent
statement of the American case, he said
the United States government had ac-
cepted the invitation to participate in
the conference With alacrity because Of
the opportunity it was expected the
conference would afford for preaching
the true faith regarding the immunity
from capture of private property at sea.
Mr.. White frankly admitted the diff
f1culties involved in deciding what con-
stituted contrabrand of war. but insist
ed that these supplied one Of the best
arguments for Il full and prompt dis
oussion. The suffering and losses which
seizures entaled We're immense. while
the effect upon the ultimate result of
war was almost nothing.
Mr.. White warmly repudiated the
suppostion that the Americans We're
animated by selfish considerations
They We're eminently practical, he said
