But war did not break out. Through the inslrumen- tidily of the leading churchmen of both countries, the dispute—over some 80,000 square miles of territory along the bor- der—was submitted to arbitration by King Edward of Great Britain, and his decision was hecepied by both sides. That was in 1900. 0111511 paned with the outcome of the arbitration, and urged forward by a powerful popular movement, the two Clovernments then went further, and in June, 1003, concluded a treaty by the teems of which they pledged themselves for a period of five years to submit all controversies arising between them to arbitration, the first general arbitration treaty ever concluded. In a further treaty thoy agreed to REDUCE THEIR ARMIES to the proportions of police forces, to slop the building of the great battle- ships then under construction, and to diminish the naval armaments Which they already possessed. The provisione of these treaties, which have new been in force nearly lour years, were ceeteed out as feet as prac- ticable, the land forces have been re- duced, the heavy ordnance taken off the war vessels, and several of the vessels ot the marine turned over to thecommer- clef fleets.
