AN .ANGLO.FRENCH
REINFORCEMENT
Prospects Are Considered Good for
the Adoption Of an Arbi-
-. tration Treaty.
With Russia, France and England
May Also Decide to Curtail
Naval Expenditures.

Paris, Aug. 5.-Baron dEstournelles de
Constant, who headed the French parlia-
mentary arbitration group on it's recent
visit to London, has written an important
letter to Foreign Minister Del Case set
ting forth the results of the recent ex
changes Of views in London and Paris be-
tween members Of the French and British
parlaments and the leading ministers Of
the two governments. The conferences in
Guided those with Foreign Minister Lans-
downe and Colonial Secretary Chamberlain
and there is good reason to believe that
that Baron D'Estourelles in theh refer
ences he makes in his letter to the con-
clusion of an arbitration treaty for the
settlement of the Anglo French difficulties
has the distinct approval of those con-
trolling Great Britain's foreign policy,
while his suggestion for a reduction Of
naval force is due entirely to the initiative
of the leading members Of the Britishmin-
istry.
The letter says that during twenty years
the fear of parliamentary opposition has
alone prevented the settlement Of the
Anglo French difficulties and now that
fear is dispelled nothing prevents the
adoption Of a conciliatory policy. All the
British statesmen whom he saw, without
distinction of party, says the baron, were
unanimous in desiring this suggested new
policy which must be clearly defined as
the former one was obscure.
The new policy has three essential OBJ
jects: First, the conclusion Of a reason
able arbitration treaty similar to that ne
gotiated between Great Britain and the
United States, and in accordance with
clause nineteen Of the Hague international
| arbitration convention; second, a. reduction
In the overwhelming naval expenses, in
agreement with France and Russia, con-
corning which the baron claims to have
received categorical verbal and written as
surances; third, a friendly settlement OF
the outstanding differences which fol
twenty years have vainly exhausted the
resources of diplomacy,

TAKE UP MILLER CASE
The Public Printer Will Review the
Charges Preferred Against
Him by the Union.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Public Printer
Palmer will take up in a day or two the
charges against w. A. Miller, assistant
foreman government bindery, that have
been filed by the Brotherhood of Book
binders. It is understood that an intima-
ton has been received from the president
that the public printer look into these
charges and take action upon them as
soon as possible as a matter of justice
alike to Miller and the persons making the
charges. Palmer has expressed a de-
termination to act judiciously and in ac-
cordance with the facts.
The charges, If sustained, would doubt
less be sufficient to remove Miller from the
government servide, but he will not give
up without a fight and pronounces the
protest against him unjust and persecu-
ton on account Of his trouble with the
labor union. If the public printer feels
justified in dismissing Miller, the latter
undoubtedly will take an appeal to the
civil service commission. He Is entitled
to reasonable time in which to reply to
the charges and he will make strong
counter charges against the union and
submit his record in his defense before the
public printer.
In that even tthe case will eventually
come before the president. The authori-
ties will require strong proof before the
charges are admitted, and unless the
evidence is conclusive that Miller's dis
missal is necessary for the good Of the
public service, he will be retained. Such
action would be the hardest blow the labor
union has received in the public printing
office, where its power has been very
great. It is understood that one of the
principal charges against Miller is that he
has spoken in q disrespectful manner Of
