untary retirement OF Ambassador
Bryce Of Great Britain, which is ex-
pected to be formally announced to.
day or tomorrow 1t is believed will
mark the abandonment of any purpose
on the part of the United States to
secure the consummation of the pend
ing general arbitration treaty with
Great Britain.
The first impulse of the president,
after the senate had amended the
treaty during the last session, in
spite of protests II the administra.
ton senators, was to Immediately
abandon the convention and to decline
to undertake to induce the British
government to accept the amendments
which struck at the very essence OF
the principle of unrestricted arbitra.
ton.
After more mature deliberation.
however, and frequent conference es
between Secretary Knox and Bryce
the president was disposed to consid-
|er the advisability OF pressing the
treaty to conclusion on the theory
that it would at least constitute no
|tice to the world of the intentions Of
the two governments to be guided by
the principle of arbitration in their
future dealings.
1t was urged also that with treaty
as foundation 1t might be possible
in the near future to bring the senate
to point Of approving supplementary
articles which, in effect. would
amount to unlimited arbitration. Re-
Gently, however, the administration
became convinced of the impractica-
billy Of this plan and it is believed
the final decision of the president to
drop the treaty was the terminating
factor in bringing about Bryce's de-
cision to resign.
Bryce Will Leave Clean Slate.
LONDON, Nov. l1.-British ambas-
sador, to the United States, Bryce,
will remain in Washington until all
pending negotiations have been clean
ed up These include, it is understood,
the question of the Panama Canal.
The British foreign office Is not yet
prepared to issue any statement in re-
gard to Eryces retirement or as to
the appointment Of his successor, who
win, however, probably be Sir Cecil
Arthur Spring-Rice.
1t was stated at the foreign office to-.
day that Bryce will endeavor to leave
a clean slate for the new ambassador.
With the exception of the official
Westminster Gazette, comments OF
the evening newspapers on Bryce's
term of office at Washington are most
unfavorable. This is due to the assist
ance he gave the Canadian govern
ment Under Sir Wilfred Laurier under
the negotiation of the reciprocity
treaty, Ior which the unionist press is
unable to forgive him.
The Westminster Gazette says: at
is the fashion for small fry unionists
to decry and attack Ambassador
Bryce, but his record is an admirable
one and there is nothing i'm it which
does not rebound to his honor"

provision of . law for this purpose,
passed by the 1911 assembly.
Registration prevents the use Of the
same name by others, and makes the
designation legal for use in deeds and
other documents. It il not necessary,
however. and many Of our local citizens
have chosen distinctive titles for their

dents that constitute its food. 1t re-
quires two or three fat ground squirrels

mice. to keep badger in good condi-
tion. With his long claws and power
full front legs he quickly digs out the
burrow of any small rodent, and unless
the burrow has back door the occu-
pant is at his mercy. In case of pocket
gophers the badger digs down in several
places along the line Of the burrow and
sometimes succeeds in cornering and
capturing the occupant. Mice are cas-
lily unearthed, and nest of young mice
is special delicacy. A few insects are
