WASHINGTON. August 5--No official
notice has been received here of the re-
ported selection Of the King Of the Bel
CLANS as arbitrator Of the dispute be-
tween Japan and Hawaii, but generally,
The selection is highly commended. The
officials say that King Leopold's reputa-
ton for fairness and liberality is so well
established that there could be no possible
objection 10 the exercise by him of the
powers Of arbitrator, provided choice is
TO be made from among European rulers.
IL is not believed that our government
will be called upon to advise as TO the
selection, and il is highly improbable
that it will interfere in the matter, so
long as the wishes Of Hawaii are met.
