here and II was stated that II the British
ships arc SO reinforced Germany would
take similar steps and augment her naval
representation In those waters to meet any
possible contingencies. So far, however,
no action looking to reinforcing the United
States naval forces there has been taken.
Secretary Long was informed Of Great
Brltain's action late tonight, but said II
was his belief that there was adequate
representation OF the United States and
that no more vessels would be dispatched
to Samoa unless further important de-
velopmonts occurred The Philadelphia, he
said, with the two British ships were fully
able to cope with the situation in the
present light OF events. Admiral Kauts
has not requested any achievements and
his recommendations under ordinary cir
cumstnnces would be awaited
The view Is held IN German circles that
much OF the delay In settling the Samoan
troubles as we'll as the grave aspect the
matter has assumed. Is due to desire on
the part OF Great Britain TO bring about
an alliance with tho United States.
