 The suggestion is made in Paris this morning by some observers that the Germans are holding out with the idea of taking Antwerp first and then re- tiring to 8 line of defense prepared in Belgium, as it is not possible for them to find endorsements to counter bal ance the fresh troops constantly com ing to strengthen the allies.
 The transfer of the seat of the Bel gian government from Antwerp to Os- tend was not made public in Paris un- til this morning, but even the fall of Antwerp will scarcely shake French confidence in the success Of the ef- forts of the allies to push the Germans back over the frontier.

renew arbitration
TREATIES IN SENATE
FIVE YEAR AGREEMENTS WITH
NINE COUNTRIES ARE
APPROVED.
Places the u. S. Once More on u More
Equal Plane With Powers of
the World.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.--General
arbitration treaties ratified by the
senate today renewed for five years
agreements with Great Britain. Japan,
Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Portu-
gal and Switzerland, and marked the
first step in the policy of President
Wilson to place the United States In a
more advantageous position in tho
world of nations.
Amendments to the treaties having
been rejected Friday, debate closed
within few minutes after the Senate
went into executive session today and
ratification resolutions were adopted
one after another without a roll call.
Opponents of the treaties made no ef-
fort to delay the votes
The treaties, briefly, provide for
reference to the Hague tribunal OF le-
gal differences and questions relating
to the Interpretation Of other existing
treaties which cannot be settled by
diplomacy. They are not OF them
selves far reaching but in view of the
long delay in their ratification, during
which many disturbing factors both
AT home and abroad have contributed
To general agitation, the feeling among
the Senators is that the action today
will serve to place the u. s. on firm
cr confidential basis with the powers.
No matter involving the vital inter
ests independence or honor of the
contracting powers is included in the
np a1I
putes involving the interests Of third
parties also are excluded. The meth
ed OF procedure toward arbitrations
fixed by the treaties provides that n
special agreement shall be drawn up
setting out the details of the dispute
| and defining its issues and the scope
of consideration to be granted to the
arbitrators. Such agreements must
be signed by the President and rati-
fled by the senate before the question
can be submitted at the Hague.
Matters still before the Senate for
eign relations committee are Panama
tolls question, the pending treaty with
Nicaragua and the treaty with Colom-
bia growing out of the surrender Of
the Panama strip. Reports on these,
| i. Is understood will be laid before the
| senate in the near future
Although the majority for the rati-
fication OF the treaties was over
whelming and the amendment to ex-
empt from arbitration the Panama
tolls question was rejected by more
than two thirds vote. Senators who
urge repeal Of the tolls exemption
provision insist that these votes are
not significant Of the attitude Of the
Senate on the tolls issue. Senator
O'Gorman said tonight he did not re-
gard the ratification action as test.
He Is determined to continue the fight
for tolls exemption.
The senate is looking to the Presi-
dent for some initiative action in the
tolls matter and several Senators
a,erred today that the issue would be
matter OF party caucus. That some
democrats would refuse to enter such
caucus has been reported for sew
eral days.
