GERMANY EXPECTED
 ID SIGN TREATY State Department Confident That Arbitration Will
 Be Favored

sningtonr Jrly Tn e5i'
 will not be far. behind Great Britain in her acceptance of the principle of unrestricted arbitration of all issues including those involving national hon : or, Is regarded here practically as a certainty in view of the developments of the past few days.
 From the first the German foreign office has looked doubtfully upon the proposition because it felt that while Germany, under it's terms, would be absolutely forced to submit an issue to arbitration the American govern ment could avoid such responsibility because the United States Senate was privileged to pass upon the issue. A hasty reading of the copy of the treaty tended to confirm this belief, hence there was no manifestation by Germany of it's purpose to press the negotia- tions.
 It now appears that there has been a radical misunderstanding on this point The treaty provides that even after the action of the Senate upon a project or even upon definition or the exact limits of the matters to be arbitrated, the issue shall not go to actual arbitration, until there has been an exchange of notes between the two governments and an objection by eith- CT to the form would result in stop ping the proceedings.
 This point has been made clear to the German ambassador and 1t is now confidently expected that the way has been cleared for adhesion of Germany to the convention.

LEND OF SEAMEN'S
 STRIKE IN SIGHT
Nearly All Dock and Ship Emploves Have Gone
 Back to Work

1.ondon -tlly : -l ,niGht SUN i1c prac- tical end of the shipping strike which So far as it's international character was concerned was a failure from the first. Nevertheless. in Great Britain, 1t devel- oped a serious character dislocating con- merce and trade in many directions.
 The strikers have not gained all their demands. but have obtained substantial victories, including the recognition of their union, the chief obstacle to a set tlement, in Liverpool. Glasgow and other ports. Those steamers held up have now obtained crews and will sail at an early date.
 In Hull where the struggle was the most bitter and the strikers were obdur- ate and riotous, a third conference be- tween the Board of Trade representa- tive, George A. Askwith, and the repre- sentatives of the disputing parties, were held today proved successful. The strik- CTS tonight unanimously confirmed the agreement.
 parting confession, which gained an important point in the agreement, Is that in event of any dispute the terms of the agreement are to be interpreted by the Board of Trade. The agreement, which was signed by nearly 40 shipowners, gives the seamen an advance of half crowr ca cents) weekly and the lockers an in- crease of half penny an hour. and 8 weekly half holiday to all and other minor concessions.
 The discharging of cargoes of perish. able goods was resumed tonight.
 In some of the other ports 1t is ex- pected that settlements will be arranged immediately. In London the president Of the Chamber of Shipping and other influential shipowners tomorrow will meet representatives of the National Transport Workers Federation to discuss the situa- tion. It is expected that by the esd of the week the shipping industry will re- sume it's normal course.
 London, July 3-The seamen at Belfast, Grimsby and Manchester obtained some of their demands and these strikes end- ed but at Manchester 400 carters are still causing trouble. The strike has not been settled at Glasgow and Shields.

WEATHER CAUSE
 OF MANY DEATHS
Hundreds of Deaths and Thousands of Prostrations Reported From Various Cities of the Nation.
 Canada Also Suffers

Washington, July 3.--A Fourth of July more oppressive and sweltering than any for decade past Is the fore cast by the weather bureau officials tonight after a careful study of the weather map. With reports of 104 de- grees temperature in four widely sep arated cities, together with a score of other cities broiling in a temperature of 100 or higher, no hope for relief could be discovered. Local thunder showers may alleviate the suffering in some sections. but they will be showers by blest chance. for no indications of rain are anywhere to be seen. The heat is taking a heavy toll of death, ac cording to reports and the suffering is increased by a drouth that practically has been unbroken. except in the South Atlantic and East Gulf states where the temperatures are moderate.
 At the weather bureau here today the mercury reached the 99 mark at o'clock, while two hours later, the bureau thermometer on the street level showed a temeprature of 107. There were two fatalities, the first from the heat this year.
 Nineteen persons who were over come received treatment in hospitals. Numbers of others were given private attention.
 Louisville, Ky, St. Joseph, Mo, Dav- enport la, and Yuma, Ariz,, were the four cities in which the 1o4 mark was reached. Boston attained a record of 102, the highest ever reached there, d like tempera ture being also recorded in Albany, N. Y., Kansas City, Con cordia, Kas., Columbus, Ohio. Parkers burg, W. Va, Dubuque, la, Des Moines, la, and Fresno. Cal.
 For the first time in its history Hartford, Conn, scored 100, that rec ord being also equalled at Fort Wayne, Ind, Cincinnati, Springfield, Ill.,. liar risburg, Pa, Chicago. St. Louis. Indian a.rolis, Totedo Oi1taho1ga City, Cpa P, auA Fo.t snirh. k
