Washington, Aug. 1.-THE reply ol
Germany to the proposition for gem
eral arbitration treaty with the Unit
cd states was presented to the state
department today by Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador.
1t Is understood TO be distinctly
favorable TO the principles laid down
by Secretary Knox, and To presage the
negotiations of a treaty with Ger
many similar to the pending conven-
tion with Great Britain and France,
provided the United states senate
does not drastically amend those
agreements.
All previous efforts TO negotiate an
arbitration treaty with Germany have
faileo because of the necessity to re-
fer the question of arbitration TO the
senate in each case in controversy. II
We claimed that such treaty would
bind Germany absolutely TO arbtrate,
while the United States was bound
only on conditions of the senate's APP
proval.
II Is understood that Germany's OBJ
lection to this score viii be met by a
clause in the proposed treaty, pro-
viding that disputes shall be arbltrat-
ed under the special agreements in
each case and the special agreements
shall be binding only when confirm
ed by the two governments by an en-
change OF notes. This viii give the
German emperor, as well as the sem
ate, an opportunity to ratify the spe-
cial agreements.
President Taft has about decided
not to press the senate to ratify the
arbitration treaties at the special ses-
sion of congress. After his return
from Beverly today, the president
learned that an attempt to have the
i'senate act favorably on the paets at
this time might result in long debate
and that finally they might be agreed
| to only on modified form.
He was informed that many sena-
tors had taken umbrage at his speech
at Mountain lake Park last week,
asking for the moral support of the
| people to force the senate to act on
| the treaties. Rather than antagonizc
senator's and render the chance OF
ratifying less certain, the president is
understood to have reached the con-
clusion not to make fight for them
