FROM WASHINGTON

Efforts to draw the White House into
replying to former President Roosevelts
attack on the proposed arbitration
treaty with England and Frahce today
proved unavailing. President TAFT took
the position that the question was one
in which every man having personal
views was possessed Of the right to ex-
press them. The president has not al
tered his position and great confidence
was expressed at the White House that
the movement of broader arbitration
treaties has the support of wide public
opinion. Evidence OF this was received
last night, in the form Of scores OF tele-
grams, from business mems organza-
tons, congratulating President TAFT
upon his accomplishments thus far to-
ward world peace.
