AS VIEWED AT WASHINGTON.
The so-CaIIeA Alliance I'm Line with
the American Policy.

The so-CaIIeA Alliance i'm Line with
the American Policy.
Washington, Oct. 20.-The state de-
partment here has not yet been adj
vised officially of the terms of the
alliance reported from London to
have been reached between Germany
and England to maintain territorial
integrity of China and to keep ports
open. While the move gives general
satisfaction here, the officials say that
it probably is a misnomer to call it
an alliance. What probably has hap
pened, they say, has been a reaffirma-
ton of principles already agreed up
on, not only being England and Ger
many, but between all of the great
powers interested in China. Again,
the officials point to the note of Sec
rotary Hay, of July offered, defining
the position of the United States, and
other things, to "presrve territorial
and administrative entity, protect all
rights guaranteed to friendly pow
ers by treaty and international laws
and safeguard for the world the prin-
ciple of equal and impartial trade
with all parts of the Chinese empire"
The records show that all the great
powers accepted the principle of this
guarantee of territorial integrity.
Their expressions on the point OF
commercial freedom were not quite
as explicit as in the case of territorial
integrity, and it appears from study
of the British-German agreement,
above referred to, that particular
care has now been taken to clear up
any doubts on this point.
