New York, Dec 24.-The decision cf

cere preference for Mr.. Roosevelt as
the arbitrator
The old Tory Morning Post pro
posed the presidents name in ad-
vance of even the quick-witted Ger
man emperor, and the suggestion has
been received with a chorus OF accla.
nation by the English press. There
are no ulterior motives. This Eng
lish preference is based upon respect

duties of an arbitrator in case where
a guarantee for payment OF an award
is urgently needed, but may be dis
pensed with, If he consents to act.
The English press is regaining its
sobriety of Judgment respecting Ger
many. Mr. Kipling's outbreak is gen.
orally condemned, and the German en-
peror Is beginning to have something
like justice for his evident desire to
maintain the friendliest possible rela.
tions with the United States. The
British solicitude for the maintenance
and preservation of the Monroe doc.
trine seems overwrought when the
powerful European governments have
virtually recognized it and deliberate
