SCORE SECRETARY SHERMAN.
| London Press Comments on Behring
Sen Carrean0niIence.

London Press Comments on Behring
Sen Correspondence.
London. July 15.-The Daily Graphic,
in an editorial article on the Behring Sea
correspondence, will say today:
Our experience of the incurably bad
manners of American diplomats renders it
unnecessary to regard Secretary Sher-
mans explosion seriously. 1t would be
unwse to embitter the negotiations by an
swering Secretary Sherman according to
his indscretion."
The Daily Chronicle says it sincerely
hopes Secretary Sherman's dispatch,
which almost amounts to an attempt 10
pick quarrel, is not another symptom
of lingo anti-Englsh temper at Washing
ton.
I'VE thought" the paper says ''it was
we who had a grievance over the non-eX-
ecution of the Paris award
The Daily News says editOrially:
1.-THE ugly dispatch from Secretary
Sherman which has got into print, is sure
to revive for the moment the unpleas,,
ant memory of 1895, when England and
the United States found themselves al
most on the brink of war, but it will be
only momentary. When the facts are
calmly considered sense of humor ought
to prevail over anything of temporary
Indignation. We should not be surprised
if the publication should produce. an eX-
preston of popular feeling in America
in direction quite contrary to that an
ticipated and lead to any early solution
of the irritating controversy by the aban-
donment, once for all. of temper so lit
tie likely to produce a happy result. 1t
is clear from all that has lately been
published on the question that the dis
patch is out of date, and its publication
is either ludicrous accident or parti-
san device"

London, July 14.-The Evening Stand
ard regards the situation in southwest
Europe as extremely grave and says there
is no doubt that unless appearances are
most deceptive the hostilities between
Turkey and Greece will be renewed. The
paper says:
Perhaps we may be at the beginning
of Il general European war" Referring
to the broad question of an attempt by
Europe to cOerce Turkey the Evening
standard says:
$50 far as England is concerned, pub.
lie opinion does not favor going to war
for the sake of Greece. Perhaps the best
way out would be to make compromise
with Turkey, for the existing dead lock
is slowly, but surely running Greece.
We have before us the terrible prospect
of II European war and it is not worth
running such risk for the mere sake
of rehablitating Greece"
