BIG SURPRISE FROM HORACE PORTER
First Definite Proposition Before Con- gress Emnnates From Kaiser and Receives Support of Uncle
 Sam and John Bull.

4 VI
 THE HAGUE, June 2O.-The peace conference completed organization and created four general committees at it's session here M. Nelidoff, Russia, communicated to the conference messages from Elm peror Nicholas and Queen Wilhelmina thanking the conference for its greet ings sent on the opening day, which expressed the hope for successful result of their deliberations.
 All the plenlpotentiaries presented their credentials.
 A big surprise to the conference was the formal reservation by General Horace Porter on behalf of the Unit ed States of the right to present the question of limitation of armaments. Together with this he also reserved the right to introduce the subject of the collection of contractual debts by force. @ Another interesting feature of the session was Baron von Bieberstein's notification that Germany intended to offer the proposition of an international prize court, to which appeals could be made at the time of maritime war and the decision of which should be final. General Porter seconded this proposition on behalf of the United States, and Sir Edward Fry declared that Great Britain proposed to advance a project on similar lines.
 The fact that the first definite propo- sition submitted to the conference should emanate from Germany and re- ceiye the prompt and cordial support of the United States and Great Britain created an especially good impression.
