half of the German case.
Indications of Acceptance.
London, Dec. 22-It is believed that
President ROOsevelt's answer to the
that he arbitrate the Venezuelan is
sues has been received in London. The
stricteSt secrecy with regard to every
phase of the negotiations is preserved,
however, and it is impossible to make
a definite statement, but such indica-
lions as are obtainable point to Presi-
dent ROosevclt's acceptance of the of
fee of arbitrator.
Would Surprise the Foreign Office.
1t must be said that the acceptance
of the office Of arbitrator by President
Roosevelt would greatly surprise the
foreign office, which always has been
doubtful of the issue of the arbitra-
ton negotiations, on account of the be-
lief that President Roosevelt, or the
United States, was not willing to I'M
dertake the responsibility thereby in
volved. The reason that Great Britain
and Germany proposed Gin reply to the
United States governments proposal
that the trouble be arbitrated) that
President Roosevelt be arbitrator, is
that with him as arbitrator the Ques-
ton of guarantees would disappear.
They do not believe Castro would be
bound by decision of The Hague tri-
