vienna's Strange Relic That Defied the
WorIo's Locksmiths.
In 1910 blacksmith went to Vienna
and locked an iron band around a tree
with paddock: What he did with the
key no one knows to this day There
Is mirthful legend to the effect that
he carelessly threw 1t into the air and
that it never came down again. At
any rate, the key could not be found,
and the Austrian government offered
a prize Of 500 ducats to any one who
could make key that would turn the
bolt in the loaA without breaking it.
Many have tried to win the prize,
but nobody has won it. Eventually 1t
became the practice among the con
testants to drive a nail in the tree and
the heads Of some Of the nails bear
the initials Of those who drove them.
The practice Of driving nails into the
tree sealed its fate The lower part of
the tree in a few years assumed the
appearance OF a solid mass of iron

ing for substantial advance both
as 10 scope and effectiveness. It
has seemed to me that the great
obstacle TO the universal adoption
of arbitration is not the unwilling
ness of civilized nations to submit
their disputes to the decision of an
impartial tribunal; J.. is rather an
apprehension, that the tribunal 80.
lecicd will not be impartial. In
II dispatch 10 Sir Julian Pauncc.
fcdc dated March 3, 1896. Lord
Salisbury stated the difficulty.
He said that
If the matter in controversy is
Important, so that defeat is Sc
rious blow to the credit or the
power of the lit;gant who is worst
ed, that interest becomes n more
or less keen partisanship. Accord
ing TO tiier sympathics, men wish
for the victory Of one side or an
other. Such conflicting sympathies
interfere most fomidably with the
choice of an impartial arbitrator.
IT would be too invidious 10 specify

cation between two great powers

rorons, to illustrate this statement
by examples. They will occur 10

Of them would command equal con-

powers.
"'rhis Is the difficulty which
stands in the way of unrestricted
arbitration. BY whatever plan the
tribunal is selected, the end OF it
must be that issues in which the
litigant states are most deeply IN
lerested will be decided by the
vote OF one man, and that man a
foreigner lie has no jury to find
his facts; he has no court of APP

The feeling which Lord Salisbury
so well expressed is. I think, the
great stlmbling-bock in the way
OF arbitration. The essential fact
