JAPAN IS NEXT IN ARBITRATION LIST So Think Washington and
 Berlin Officials IS REMOVED Disability of England and Japan to Make Treaties With the Other
 Powers Is Entirely Dis
 posed Of
BARRIER IS REMOVED

Washingto July 15.-Japan, 1t Is now generally believed, will be the next great nation to undertake the ne- gotiation of a general arbitration treaty with the United States. The revised Anglo-Japanese alliance, 1t is declared removes the only obstacle to the con- clusion of such a treaty with Japan, as it did with Great Britain.
 Berlin, July 15.-The modification of the Anglo-Japanese treaty of alliance caused no surprise in authoritative German quarters where it is consid- cred as natural recognition of a new situation In the east Conditions, it is pointed out, have changed completely since the Russo-Japanese war and there is no danger of Russo-Japanese or Japanese American friction. Russo Chinese relations now are the only critical points and crisis will be de- layed Meantime it is believed Japan probably will conclude an arbitration treaty with the United States. The weakening of the Anglo-Japanese all liance to permit of an Anglo-American general arbitration treaty therefore was to be, expected. }
 Treaty With Germany
 The official reserve heretofore main tained regarding the chances for Ger man. American arbitration pact was raised today by spokesman for the foreign office, who said he thought the treaty which the government still was studying, probably would be negotiated, though not in time for simultaneous signing with the. American treaties with England and France.
 Press comment Is that Anglo-Jap- anese friendship will continue, though the obligation of either to support her ally in case of war disappears as either party is at liberty to conclude arbitra- ton treaties with third parties. The pa pers believe the conclusion of an An glo-American treaty would have been impossible without a modification of the Anglo Japanese alliance and think that the British colonies played an inn portant role in the negotiations. Great Britain Is credited with a great diplo- matic victory In inducing Japan to as- sent to a weakening of the alliance. ..

 AbbOtt's Statement
TAFT IS PROVIDING
 EXACT INFORMATION
Wants Congress to Have Elaborate Maps of Alaskan Land Involved So as to Aid as Far as Pos-
 sible the Investigation

Washington, July 15.--To erect terminal facilities in Controller Bay. Alaska, would cost about s1,0O0,O0o said Alfred H. Brooks of the United States geological survey. today, before the House committee on expenditures in the interior department which is Investigating conditions sur rounding Controller bay lands
 The committee, which reconvenes Tues day may summon as witnesses former Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot and Sec retary of War Stmson, to inquire into a. declaration of Miss NJ F. Abbott, a newspaper writer. that a map of Con- troller bay district containing tracngs of the Richard s. Ryan claims there had disappeared from the war depart ment. MT. Pinchot today advised tho committee that he recalled seeing such map on a visit to the department with Miss Abbott, and that he spoke to the Secretary of War about it. A map show ing the claims and proposed railroad pro- noted by Ryan, who is alleged to rep resent Guggenheim interests, since has been furnished by Secretary of the In- terior Fisher The missing map, dated December Ii, 1910. was shown Miss Ab- bolt about June l, 1911, she says. 1t is contended there was not time for the map to have been made from surveys in Alaska following the Presidents execu- tive order restoring the lands to entry and that it must have been prepared on advance information.
 Preparing Accurate Maps
 That Congress shall have elaborate maps showing conditions in and about Controller bay, President Taft today di- rected Superintendent O. P. Tittmann of the coast and geologic survey to make copies of the maps of the region In the possession of the government.
 The President spent more than an hour looking over the original maps this afternoon. He Is convinced when the Senate sees the government sur veys of Controller Bay the extent of the water front and the length of the channel, it will agree with him that for one man 10 obtain monopoly there would be next to impossible Mir. TiIlS mann prob ably will be unable to finish the new maps before the middle of next week. so the Presidents report to Congress is not expected to be made before that time
 Made on Advance Data
 Clifford Pinchot, former chief forester. advised the House committee on ex- penditures in the interior department today that Controller Bays map show ing claims of Richard s. Ryan, said to represent the Guggenheims and the proposed railroad, missing, it is said, from the war files. was there 15 days after the Presidents order restorin z the land to entry. MT. Pinchot wrote that the attention of the war depart ment had been called to the fact that 1t would have been impossible to have brought the map from Alaska within that time This. 1t is claimed. indi- cates the missing map was made on advance information regarding the or- der and upon fictitious surveys.
 Both MT. Pinchot and Secretary Stim- son may be summoned before the com- mittee.

AGREEMENT MADE
ON GOVERNMENT PAY
FORNATWNAL GUARD
Revised Form of Bill Drawn
Up After Conferences at
War Department.

Following the recent meeting here of
leading members of the National Guard
Association for the purpose of further
ing the Federal pay bill, conferences
have been held between a committee of
the association and representatives of
the War Department and an agreement
has been reached on a revised form of
Federal pay bill for the organized mil
itia Of the country.
1t is expected that this bill will soon
be introduced in both houses of Con-
gress and will be urged. While it prob
ably will be found impossible to get 1t
passed at the extra session, its passage
in the regular session is deemed prob
able by its supporters.
The purpose of the proposed legisla-
ton is to bring the national guard up
to what amounts to the regular army
standard of efficiency and to pay Of
ficers and men a certain per cent Of
the regular army pay for attendance at
drills and otherwise coming up to the
required standard. In the bill now
framed, forty-five drills per year are
required.
1t Is believed that allowing of Fed
eral pay to the guardsmen will en-
courage enlistment and attendance, and
that 1t will to all intents and purposes
bring the guard to a standard wherein
1t will be fitted to go into immediate
service in the field.
A bill passed the House last session,
but failed in the Senate. 1t was not
entirely satisfactory to the national
guard, as 1t allowed the aWr Depart
ment in time of a call for troops to
break up guard organizations and ac-
cept only such as 1t saw fit. The new
bill provides that guard regiments or
other organizations which are of the
standard OF efficiency necessary to en-
able them to get Federal pay shall be
received into the service intact. The
War Department has consented to this
Army men and guard officers say the
legislation will stiffen up the
guard greatly.

INSURGENTS Of
CIVIC CLUB FORM
new ORGANIZATION
West Rock Greek Citizens
Association Born-Feud
Dropped.

Born: A lusty, husky new member Of
Washington's civic family. !
Birth of the new West Rock Creek
Citizens Association, with an initial en-
rollment of 119 members, is being cele-
brated today, following its first regular
meeting lest night at the Masonic Hall
at Tenleytown.
With rush, aggressive and impress
sive, the newest of civic associations.
composed of insurgents" OF the parent
society. the Northwest Citizens Asso-
citation, was launched.
Masonic Hall was jammed to over
flowing last night when the new presi-
dent, Samuel NJ. Hawken, called the
meeting to order, with Commissioner
Judson as the guest of honor. Seventy
six new members hurried to join the
new organization last night, including
the first vice president, secretary. and
treasurer Of the old association.
Its feud with c. c. Lancaster, presi-
dent Of the Northwest Association. was
barely mentioned by members of the
new society last night, the Nonresident
president" being the ironic term applied
by President Hawken. A resolution was
passed deploring circulation OF handbills
reciting a pro-Lancaster declaration of
the East End Citizens Suburban Asso-
citation, Of which James NJ. Wood, a
friend Of Lancaster. was secretary.
So resolute did the new association
become that it passed seven resolutions
last night. Three others were offered,
but the flood was stemmed by President
Hawken by their reference to a COM
mitee.
IndnrSarnnnto NJ he nd ha
new bill for universal street car trans
fers, and the appropriation bill of Rep
resentative Sulzer providing for pur-
chase of the old Treasury columns and
their use in decorating Potomac Park,
were general public expressions. Reso-
lutions asking $250 900 to raze the Manual
Training School at Tenleytown and en-
large the present school, and asking the
Commissioners to place a fire-alarm box
In Asbury Park were also passed.
Congratulating the citizens upon form
ing their organization. Commissioner
Judson explained the Judson bill. and
scores of questions regarding
the measure.
Il hope this association will never aid

mony with the Commissioners" he said.

means man or woman good for
