On<* That Will Force Kiiropean Aafioii'i to Submit to .\rbilration All FuiniK on Which They Ulfler to A^erl Future Wars, ivONlJO.N, Sept. 29—2;33 p. ui.—ICn.^ li.sli olllcials express confidence that the United States at the proper time will exert its good offlces to bring the l.uropeaii war to a close under condi tions insuring permanent peace. Pres ident Wilson’s recent statement that peace overtures were reassurine here, high officials today expressed the opinion that the I'nited States aft‘‘r the comiiatants become exhausted will r..ake it possible to negotiate a treaty !■( (luiring the F:uropean nations tJ tubmit further differences to the I'nited Stute.s lor iirbilration, thus making a recurnm-e of the war im- j ossible.

It was pointed out ln-re today that c\en (hough President Wilson’s t«'n- der of mediation is not pressed at the present moment, it stands open as a lonvenienf means ot approaching iho sui)jeet and provides the means for continous infonnal discussion o!
