COUP BY GERMANY.
The sudden change of the great
continental powers in behalf of gen.
eral arbitration IS believed 10 be a
coup on the part of Germany to head
off a separate arbitration treaty be-
tween the United States and Eng
land, which might in some quarters
be regarded as an alliance and there
fore a menace to world peace rather
than a peace safeguard.
BY the new plan Germany, Rus
sia, France Austria and Italy will be
included as signatory powers on the
same footing with the United States,
Great Britain and Japan.
The general arbitration treaty
will follow the lines of the Knox
draft for arbitration between the
United States and England.

According to present l-Ians the
