In Rooseyelt's book on Benton,
page 266, in speaking of the desirability
of annexing Columbia and Manitoba,
he said: "Of course, no one would
wish to see these or any other settled
communities now added to our domain
by force; we want no unwilling citizens
to enter our Union; the time to have
taken the lands was before settlers
came into them. European nations
war for the possession of thickly set
tied districts which, if conquered, will
remain for centuries alien and hostile
TO the conquerors," But Roosevelt
wrote his book before the United States
had nonarchial flunkey for Secretary
of State, and before men like Mark
Hanna became the dominant force of
the party in power. Teddy would not
express such sentiments again, not for
a new hobby horse and a brace of brass
guns.

Washington, Sept. 24.-rhe state de-
partment Saturday night made public
the text of the notes addressed by it to
the governments of Germany. Russia
and China in answer to inquiries from
them as to the attitude of the United
States toward various phases of the
Chinese problem. Although nowhere
in the text is reference made to the
withdrawal Of United States troops
from China, an official statement is
sued by the navy department in ad-
vance of the publication of the notes
bears out the prediction that the gov
eminent finally has decided upon such a
material reduction of sts military force
as will amount to n withdrawal of the
army as an offensive instrument.
Reply to the German Mole.
The notes themselves are brief. The
Russian and Chinese answers are COM
pletely responsive and favorable to the
inquirer The answer to the German
note says that the government of the
United States has from the outset pro-
claimed its purpose to hold to the ut
tcrmost accountability of the United
States and their interests.
1t is thought, however, that no punitive
measures can he effective by way of

lieving thus. and without abating in
