WANT KING FOR ARBITRATOR

Edward Asked by United States and Chili to Decide Claim. London, Nov. 30.—A request that King Edward mediate the Alsop claim dispute has been made by the United States and Chile through the foreign office. The king has been communicated with informally on the subject before, but at that time gave a noncommittal reply to the suggestion. In forwarding these requests to King Edward it is understood that the foreign office advised him that in view of the fact that both parties desired him to act as arbitrator, there was no reason why he should not accept the Invitations.
