AN ENGLISH ALLIANCE

Stand Together for Peace and for Civ
nlxAtlOn,

London, March 21.-The remarkable
unanimity of the approval Of both
classes and masses of the mere sug-
gestion Of an Anglo-American alliance
compels belief In the desire of the
British public for an entente with the
United States. The fact that most of
the cable dispatches from America
have proclaimed that the suggestion
has been seriously discussed is heart
lily welcomed here, and is regarded as
extremely important and gratifying,
us evldencing II friendly spirit.
'"There are" as IL diplomatist put 1t,
"inspirng hope that the differences of
the past will be buried and that An
glo-SaXons in the near future will be
found issuing Identical notes to all op-
posed to their common interests" The
diplomat continues: "It Is not any
stretch of the Imagination to say that
such a union has been longed for by
the best men In Great Britain many
years, not only because 1t is known
fact that all the statesmen of Europe
realize that close alliance between
America and Great Britain would con-
stitute not only the surest guarantee
of the peace of the world, but would
afford proof that the reign of law and
individual liberty is to be extended for

The weekly newspapers pay consid-
cradle attention to the subject. The
Speaker says:
at is impossible for the statesmen
Of either country to find n nobler OBJ
ject to which TO devote their energies
and their lives. Whatever the actual
relations in which the governments of
London and Washington regard the
matter. the American people may be
assured that If they wish for an agree
ment the people of Great Britain will
wish for one. Wo do not wish to ask
the Americans to fight our battles, just
as we feel convinced that they are too
proud to desire that we should fight
theirs. But what we do wish, and
what wise men on both sides must
earnestly desire. is that each nation
shall feel that II has in the other n
friend ana II brother. on whose SYM
pnthy II can rely in time of need
The Spectator. noting the good feel
ing expressed in the United States,
says:

during the past year. A new pier, No.

The pier and sheds are lighted with
improved incandescent lights, and well
paved driveways have been provided.
