ments and may not in any way affect
their diplomatic action, it is emnently
satisfactory to find that Great Britain and
the United States are acting together in
diplomacy as well as by sea and land.
LAS to the hesitation of Great Bratain
and the United States TO accept the Ger
man proposition that unanimity with the
present commissioners is necessary not
only in the main ISSUE but in all details,
it must be approved as the judgment of
common sense. If Germany insists on an
absolute agreement about everything, she
will infalllbly delay the speedy settlement
to which she aspires.'

enforced, Germany would take similar
steps to augment her naval representation
in those waters to meet any possible con-
tingenees.
SO far, however. no action looking to re-
inforcing the United States naval forces
there has been taken. Score
tary Long was informed of Great
Britain's action late tonight but
said it was his belief that there was ade-
duate representatio of the United States
there now, and no more vessels would be
dispatched to Samoa unless further i'm
portant developments occur.
The Philadelphia, he said, with the two
British ships, was fully able to cope with
the situation in the present light of
events Admiral Kautz has not requested
any reinforcements and his recommends
ton under ordinary circumstances would
be awaited.
The view is held in German circles that
much of the delay in settling the Samoan
troubles as well as the grave aspect the
matter has assumed, is due to desire on
the part of Great Britain to bring about
an alliance with the United States.
