FAIL TO SETTLE
ALSOP DISPUTE
UNITED STATES AND CHILE
CANNOT AGREE
HAGUE TRIBUNAL MAY NOT
PROBE CLAIMS
Suggestion Made to State Department
That Adjustment by Great Brit
ain Might Be Satisfactory
Is Ignored
IAssociated Pressl


WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The ef-
forts of the United States and Chile
to agree upon a protocol for the re-
ference of the Alsop claims for more
than a million dallars to The Hague
tribunal for arbitration on its merits,
have so far been unavailing and it
is believed further negotiations along
that line would be useless.
1t is understood that a suggestion
has reached both governments that a
settlement by Great Britain might re-
suit in an amicable adjustment of the
whole question.
State department officials, however,
decline to discuss the matter one way
or the other, and would not admit that
the negotiations for protocol refer
ring the claim to The Hague for ar
bitration on it's merits, was at a prac-
tical standstill, and from present in
dications would not be resumed.
In the absence of definite informa-
ton as to the initiative of the sugges-
tion that the matter be referred to
King Edward, it is believed here that
the first step in that direction was
taken by Brazil which probably made
simultaneous suggestions to both
countries.
The report that King Edward had
not been consulted on the matter is re-
garded as important, as it is not GER
tain that the king would willingly as
sumo the responsibility of composing
the differences between the United
States and Chile.
In any event it is not believed here
that the king would be asked to ar
bitrate the differences or even to act
in the capacity of umpire, but rather
as a friend of both parties, seek to
bring about an amicable adjustment
of the matter.

America to Participate in Loan

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Although
nc official information has reached the
state department that the governments
of England, Germany and France have
reached a definite conclusion on all
points with respect to American par
ticipation in the Hankow railroad loan
of $30500, 900, there is abundant reason
for the belief that such an agreement
has been practically reached, and that
public announcement TO that effect may
be Forthcoming at any time. There is
no doubt that the United States will
share all items of the loan on equal
terms with the other three nations.
