ARBITRATION SCHEME

or Peace Conference Will be Arbi-
tration in Name Only.
WASHINGTON. June 20. = Private
advices received here from NJ high au-
thorlty are TO the eircc. that the con-
ference at The Hague probably will be
redeemed nomInally from failure by
an agreement on an arbitration project
that will satisfy the apparently general
demand on that point. but that at the
same time by carefully framed safe
guards will so narrow the field of mat
ters that may or must SO before the
arbitration tribunal as to make 1t lit
tie more than arbitration In name.
The attitude OF Germany is said to be
only little In advance OF that Of some
of the other powers after all. In oppo-
sition to the plans submitted and the
dlsalfectlon Is more general than ap-
pears on the surface. As for the other
projects that We're especially desired
by the Americans, such us protection
of individual property from seizure at
sea, they, hive all been irrcdeemably
lost, according to this report.
