and PARIS iS FIRST' TO APPROVE President Taft, Who Opened the Way for Complete Arbitration Pacts, the Ceremony ily. 7i at Washington. Three ot the great world powers have taken a long 'itride toward the goal ot universal peace, Arbitration treaties binding the United States and Great Britain and respectively, were signed It the White House in Washington In the presence of President Taft and a notable; gathering of officials and at the ministry of foreign affairs In Paris, 1 Secretary of State Knox signed the two, treaties in behalf of the United States. JameBBryce, the British affixed his. signature ia behalf of Great Britain, thus completing the Anglo American pact, with the exception of ratification by the senate.

The' French treaty was signed in duplicate in Paris six hours earlier by JJMuBserand, ambassador to the United. As' soon as the copies of the, two treaties had been signed President Taft affixed his signature to two measures for transmittal to the senate. It was thought at first that an exchange on the Franco American treaty would be necessary before it could be sent to the senate; Later on official notification from Paris of the signature there, President Taft decided to rush the treaties, at once to the senate In the hope of securing action as this session. The general features of the new treaties are: 'v 1 1 AH differences jnteniatlonally Justl dable shall be submitted to The Hague, unless by special agreement some other tribunal is created or selected. Differences that either cduntry thinks are not Justiciable shall be referred to a commission of inquiry, composed of nationals of the two govern tnents empowered to make recommendations for their settlemenL Should the commission decide that the dispute should be arbitrated, such decision win be Before Is resorted to, even ease where both countries agree' that the difference is susceptible of arbitration, the commission of Inquiry shall Investigate the dispute with a view of recommending a settlement without arbitration.

commission, at request of either (overnment, will delay its findings one fear to give an opportunity for diplomatic settlement. jv The convention grew directly, out of President Taft's speech In Washington, December 18 last, before the American Society for the Judicial Settlement of International disputes, in vhich be Tf now we can negotiate and put through 1 a positive agreement with tome great nation to abide the adjudication of an International arbitral court in every issue which cannot be lettled by negotiation, no matter what It "involves whether honor, territory, or moneywe shall have made a long itep forward by demonstrating it Is possible for two nations at least to establish, as between them, the same system of due process of law that exists between individuals under a Washington, D. p. Pressure Is being brought to bear on the senate to act favorably on the arbitration treaties recently signed between the United States and Great Britain and the United States and Franco. The only hitch apparent at the present time is the fear of the senate that some of its treaty making prerogatives may be endangered by the new conventions.

This is denied by Secretary of State Knox. Both the President and Secretary Knox are highly desirous of having the treaties passed by the senate before adjournment. TOWN WRECKED BY TORNADO. Much Damage Done by Big Storm at Harlem, Kan. Smith Center, Kan.
