WORLDS PEACE IN OUR HANDS

GREAT YAW PUT OX AMERICANNEUTRALITY NOW

ft Guarantee Mlgnt Thing a Declaraen f War From Franee and Bsula-

Agmlnrt England and JapanLondonO-eafldent That We Win Not Make ThatPeelaratlon Germany Appreaoaed

LoNDON March is necessary toMy two things In regard to the politicerisU through which the world is passingat the present moment The first Ia thatIt is Imposslbl to obtain substantiationof the gravest rumors which are now

and the second that the responsi-bility for keeping tho peace of the worldmay be thrown entirely upon the Ameri-can and German Governments

It is not necessary to discuss in detailthe most alarming reports which havegained circulation save to say that theydo not receive credence In this or any Eu-

ropean capital This much is trueThe RuseoFreoch declaration regard-

Ing the AngloJapanese alliance beenfollowed or accompanied by importantnegotiations France and Russia hayasked the other Powers Including theUnited States Germany Austria and Italywhat would be their respective attitudestoward the new alliance The inquiry-In at lest two cases included the questionwhether neutrality would be maintained-In case of war between Ont Britain andJapan on the one hand and Franco andRussia on the other It has been inferred-In certain quarters that It assurances ofneutrality had been obtained from theUnited States and Germany war wouldhaTe followed almost Immediately Thislaftreaoe is not perhaps absurd but noth-ing In the nature of confirmation can beobtained from the beet Informed authorities

On the other hand the British ForeignOffice which I fully aware of theeo

inquiries utterly dtacredlU anybelligerent significance It is pointed outthat it is the dtplomatlo custom to exchangenotes between Governments regardingthe Interpretation and effect of any im-

portant treaty There cannot be anydoubt that Russia and France would boexceedingly pleased to obtain pledges ofneutrality from America and GermanyThe refusal of suoh a pledge by both coun-tries would almost oertalnly prevent war

There to good reason to believe thatGermany has already given snob a refusalfai other words the Kaiser Insists that hewill retain complete liberty of action

England to confident that the UnitedStates will take a similar attitude Shedoes not expect America to come to herajtaao but the doM believe theWashington Government will do nothingto preoipitato a conflict which might resultIn the destruction of American trade in-

terest In the Far EastIt to not going too far to say that a decla-

ration at the present moment of neutralityIn cue of war might precipitate that warThis must be fully understood by the Wash-ington Government Hence the confidencehere that no such declaration will be forth-coming

Today news from South Africa whlohIndicates that the Doers desire to negotiatefor teave has an Important bearing on thesituation If by any inulblllty RuMlahas belligerent derigns she will either bringthem quickly Into action before Englandran transfer her army from South Afrit-U India or slit will abandon lh rr entirely
