NO DANGER OF WAR.


London, Aug. s.-Mr. Joseph II.
Choate. United States ambassador.
was interviewed today by representa-
tive OF the Associated Press in regard
TO the recent war or arbitration"
speech delivered by Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rter. the Canadian premier. He said:
There will be no war. 1t is safe to say
that no amount OF politics or politicians
in either country could occasion war"
The ambassador continuing said:
THE Canadian parliament was OH tie
eve OF dissolution and the leaders of
both parties had TO speak" Mr. Choate
seemed TO think that the latter circum-
stances explained Sir Wilfrid Laurier's
position and he was inclined TO attach
small Importance to the premier's re-
marks. Mr.. Choate added that the ne
gotations were progressing, but he en-
planned, they are always slow and
can say nothing at present as to their
status"
