LONDON. Aug 25.-The policy o, the
United States toward China is watched
here with more interest than is thu.
OF any other country. for Englishmen
believe. somehow or other. that in the
troubles ahead America will be the only
power with interests parallel with
theirs. The Spectator, discussing the
frailty OF the ties connecting the pow
ers, says:
Continental statesmen look askanee
al the new force, America, whose lin
its they do not clearly discern and
which, for example. can send black
troops to China, and they mutter words
about the possible Anglo-Saxon under
standing and would. If they could, glad
ly postpone all action so as TO have
more time for reflection and combine
ton: only, you see, Peking is in flames,
the Chinese Semiramis is on her way
to Segan and a Russian general public
ly reports that the Amur now flows
through Russian territory. Japan has
been helping Europe, but English OBJ
servers are uncertain what her states
men intend"
THAT the French government is pre-
pairing for war there can be no longer
any doubt"
This first sentence in a long article
in the Pail Mall Gazette OF Wednes-
day on "The Imminenee of War With
France" is subject of serious specula-
ton in most of the periodicals.
The Speaker" considers French in
Tas.or a nightmare. but fears that the
persistent fomenting of national hatred
is ominous asd may precipitate con-
fiict. The Spectator says it does not
wish TO encourage the scare. but il
voices a caution that a strenuous watch
should be maintained over the national
defenses.
The introduction of the young King
of Spain to his subjects in the north
western seacoast was attended by de-
gree Of good feeling not before seen in
Spain in generations. Even in the
provinces where socialistic and dynas-
tic discomfort is always verging on in
surrection, the people showed patriotic
pleasure and a desire to forget the
past disasters and accept the new order
of things.
1t would be supposed that the Ques-
ton of the superiority of the American
method of riding horses had been suffi-
GENTLY demonstrated by this time to
convince even the conservative British
horsemen. The sporting papers, how
ever, are still filled daily with letters
on the subject. The bitter reluctance
with which the friends of British jock
eys admit the advantage of the Ameri--
can system is a curious part of the con-
troversy. This has gone so far that
writer in the Sportsman today calls for
halt in the discussion and advocates
the American system, which, he says,
certainly suits our horses, owners and
trainers" adding: Let us still be
sportsmen. even if We are beaten at our
own game"
The note by the Vatican authorities
against the proclamation of Queen
Margaret, written by her majesty after
the assassination of King Humbert,
has set going violent discussion IN
Italy.
The correspondent says: Its publi-
cation has caused indignant outbursts,
has evoked sympathy for the Quirinal
and has strengthened the young King
in his inherited controversy with the
church. The note was a personal act
of the Pope, and its avowal as such was
meant to rebuke those representing the
pontiff as an aged man and as tool in
the hands Of Cardinal Rampolla, the
papal secretary Of state, the truth be-
Ing that Ramapolla is as clay in the
masterful hands of the pontifcal pot
ter and bends like reed before the
imperious will of Leo. The Pope, in
spite of his years, is still the soul of
the Vatican and rules his encourage
with rod Of iron"
