The Anglo, Alliance Causes
Comment,
FAVORABLE ON THE WHOLE.
English Press Much Pleased Paris II
BRUSSELS Somewhat Suspicious,

New York. oct 22.-There Is much
discussion Of the Anglo-German agree
ment. but there are few fresh details
says the London correspondent Of the
Tribune.
While Russia and France were act
Ing with the other powers, &c was known
that they were in alliance with each
other under secret conditions and would
support each other. II IS now equally
clear that Germany and England
while anxious 10 cooperate with the
other powers, were also IN alliance with
each other for definite ends, which are
justihedly enlightened
Diplomatic coalitions are not liked
ordinarily In England, where the very
real and trustworthy alliance Is be-
lgyed to be with the colonies within the
empire. Magnificent isolation was q
phrase which called strongly 10 Brit
ish pride The alliance Us well received
by the press because the principles up
on which II Is based are warmly app
proved and also because the obligations
and liabilities Imposed Boy the third
article are vaguely understood. But
there IS an instructive rec0il among
Englishmen against permanent coali-
lions with continental powers useful
and honorable as this one may be In
.Gs present emergency
The moral support Of the principles
OF this alliance from the state depart
ment Is expected with confidence but
the American governments freedom of
action and independence OF an entan-
Cling alliances Will be o. peCtel, cer-
tainly I'm England. possibly even enyied
Foreign opinion upon the agreement
is. so far as known, favorable on the
whole II Is difficult, TO gauge the
exact view of the Russian foreign office
and no word has vet come from Japan,
but Il IS abunlantly clear that Austria
approves Of the new dual alliance.

OPINIONS OF LONDON PRESS.
London, oct. 22.--Al the morning pa
pers dilate upon the high importance
of the Anglo-German agreement. The
Daily Telegraph. which describes il as
the most remarkable success secured
by British diplomacy since the Berlin
treaty says: THE significant cir
cumstances Of It's publication clearly
suggest that II was initiated by Lord
Salisbury at the moment when an III
considered call was made for his re-
tirement from the foreign office
Although without such effusiye
praise Of Lord Salisbury's diplomacy
most Of the papers warmly approve
the agreement and recognize In IL a
warning TO other powers, especially
Russia.
The Daily Graphic remarks THE
agreement Is the direct outcome OF
Germany's isolation In China. She had
found herself committed 10 a punitive
policy without the support Of the other
powers, II is another journey to ca
nossa for the German Jing0es'
The Daily Mail observes. The agree
ment almost amounts 20 an offensive
and defensive alliance. Il win put an
end to the last hope OF European in
tervention In South Africa"
The STANDARD. which IS uustinted IN
its praise Of Lord Salisbury and Coun,
Won Buelow, says THE agreement
should be Endorsed with alacrity by
the United States, which has consu-
tuted itself an advocate OF the open
door and is almost nevously anxious
70 avoid any prolonged ENHANCEMENT
IN the far east"
The Times somewhat less eulogistic
says: 1t seems TO be a sensible and
business-like agreement so far as 10
goes, but II hardly justities the far
reaching differences some persons APP
pear disposed 10 draw from g. The
first and second clauses bind US o.
pr0fessed The third clause is purely
contingent and relates altogether "a
an eventualty that has not arisen and
we trust, is extremely unlikely 20 arise
Russia has expressly declared that her
occupation OF Manchuria Is only tenn.
porary. while nobody can suppose that
Germany intends 20 abandon her ira
diuonal policy toward Russia in favor
Of an Anglo Russian alliance"
The Daily Chronicle the M0rning
Post and the Daily News adopt a SINH
lar tone, The first.named Journal says.
The third clause may mean nothing on
something very serious as no sane
man expects Russia TO withdraw from
Manchuria"
The Morning Post says: Russia
viii probably not be frightened by the
third clause Of the agreement Doubt
less she has already made her bargain
with Germany, the latter being in Tho
habit OF making agreements with both
sides at once
The Daily News. after asking whath-
or there Is any secret understanding
behind the agreement says that Lord
Salisbury has again changed his policy
and has abandoned the British sphere
OF influence along the Yang kiang.
