TREATY WITH BRITAIN BIG
STEP TOWARDS WORLDS PEACE
President Tam Tells Christian En-
deavorers u 10 Forcible instrument
10 Prevent War.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July S.
In speech to the international Chris
tian Endeavor convention here last
night, President Taft declared that
the negotiations for the arbitration
treaty between Great Britain and the
United States have reached such a
stage that there Is no doubt as To the
signing OF the pact
II am glad to say" said the presi-
dent. that today we have reached
such a point In the negotiations for a
treaty Of universal arbitration with
one Of the great European powers
that We can confidently predict the
signing OF satisfactory treaty. The
arbitration treaty heretofore with
Great Britain and other countries has
excepted from the causes to be arbl-
trated those which involve the vital
interests OF either party or It's honor.
The treaty which We are now closing
with Great Britain eliminates these
exceptions and provides that all ques-
lions Of international concern of a
tustifiable character shall be submit
ted to the arbitration OF an impartial
tribunal"
The president expressed the hope
that eventually half dozen Euro
pean countries may make similar
treaties. Such action, he said, will
not abolish war, but would furnish a
forcible instrument In preventing II.
The president left washington amid
the closing freaks OF severe thun-
der storm. His private car was 20 de-
grees cooler than II was early In the
week when he journeyed through
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania with
a temperature indoors Of 100 degrees.
Senator Briggs Of New Jersey; Sec
rotary Hilles and Major Butt accom-
panied him. At Philadelphia the presi-
dents car was attached TO special
train that made the run to Atlantic
City In so minutes.
The president spoke from plat
form on the Million Dollar pier. Sew
eral thousand persons heard him and
cheered him as he entered and as he
left the pier.
The first part of the presidents
speech was. devoted to brief review
OF the work OF the Christian Endeav-
or societies.
From praise of the society the
president turned TO peace and arbitra-
ton, which he said could be ex-
pedited by the influence Of such or
ganizations.

In the great outdoors" said Mr.. Law
renee. to The Times. In the course OF
an interesting chat about his trip.
And believe me that place Is some
outdoors. II II one great succession
of rivers. mountains. forests. canyons
and trails. Those trails trailed every
where as we found ous 10 our exces-
sive WEAKNESS many day. To get to
our sisters, we went to place called
Moclits and there took a stage to
Granville. From the latter place II
was q case OF walk just As miles. Fol-
lowing the advice Of acquaintances We
discarded our city clothes aud got reg
ular roughing outfits of khaki, stout
boots, wide hats, etc. The pedestrian
stunt had 20 be accomplished over In
den trails and through the Widest
kind OF country. We could not secure
guide. as the Quinault Indians. who
live around there, absolutely refuse
to do anything but salmon fishing.
They make from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year salmon fishing and then will go
hundreds OF miles to the nearest point
where they can secure liquor, and pay
hundreds OF dollars for ten cents
worth Of the yilest whisky one ever
tasted.
1T was beautiful trip for us de-
spite its hardships and the fact that
we lost trails continuously and one
day had to walk Is miles extra tore
cover the trail, making our trip 81
miles In all. When leaving our sis
ter's home We were able to go down
the river to the mouth by canoe and
although we got very stiff sitting In
the cramped canoe II was not SO hard
as the walk would have been. From
the mouth Of the river we had to re-
turn to Granville afoot. however. I
came back east through Canada, Wis
ting Banff. Lake Louise and all the
other famous points along the c. p.

joyed every minute of It."
