EARLY ACTION ON TREATY
Arbitration Proposal Cabled
Great Britain and France.

Washington. May lS-Ambassadors Bryce
and Jusserand cabled TO their home gov
ernments to-day the tentative outline OF
broad arbitration treaty between the United
States and Great Britain and France which
was submitted TO them by Secretary Knox
Yesterday. Both embassies acted quickly
upon the matter. Ambassador Jusserand
returned from Washington this afternoon
from a short trip To Canada, and after a
brief consideration of the proposed conven-
ton cabed il to Paris
The next move will be in the Foreign
Offices Of Great Britain and France. II is
expected here both Messrs. Bryce and Jus
serand soon viii receive defnitive instruc-
tons TO proceed to the negotiation OF
convention OF the basis OF Secretary Knox 9
suggestions. These two diplomats here will
embody the comment of their Foreign
Offices on the American proposition and
emphasize any changes which are thought
necessary to the accomplishment Of the de-
sired end.
Berlin. MAY ls-The American arbitra-
ton proposal submitted to the British and
French ambassadors al Washington at
tracts general attention in the German
press.
The "Tagebatt' is the only paper that
greets the proposition as a loyal attempt
toward complete arbitration. This news
paper asks whether Germany was sounded
with regard TO the acceptability Of the ten
tatve document by the German govern
ment before it was submitted TO the Brit
ish and French governments.
The Chauvsnst papers. as is usual when
eferring To America. have adopted an atti-
tude unfriendly to the American proposal.
The "TaeSlische Rundschau' believes that
the mountain has brought forth mouse.
and that the proposal will be dsappoint-
mcnt to peace idealists. No nation. the
paper says, will submit questions of ma
tional honor and vital interest TO a tribunal
I'm which there are representatives of a
hostile state.

posal is i'm effect equivalent 10 an alliance
against third power, and foresees its po-
litical Identification first in Great Britain
