that steps have been taken for the
purpose OF forming an alliance Of the
Anglo-Amerlcdn races. This report is
found in the London Daily Telegraph.

be recognized by Great Britain. and
would indorse the American construc-

same in times OF war. The L. ;. J.
TO possess all the territory she gain
from Spain during this present Wal

all other great questions. both wrigh
and wrong in the. minds OF manY-goo'
people.
