TALK WITH WALDERSEE
GERMAN FIELD MARSHAL DISCUSSES
AFFAIRS IN CHINA
He Says American Energy and Mil
lions Are Making Themselves
Powerfully Felt i'm the Far East.

BERLIN, May 1-"American energy and
American millions are making themselves
felt in China more and more powerfully"
said Count Won Waldersee in an interview
at Dresden, where he is visiting the King
of Saxony. The count was c-ommander-in-
chief of the allied forces in China. Con-
tinuing, he said: we have come into
closer political touch with the United
States, and that country will exercise a
favorable influence in the worlds politics"
In this interview Count Won Waldersee
was surveying the present position of af-
fairs and the relations of the powers in
China. He referred also TO the attitude of
the officers of the armies of the powers to-
ward each other and toward himself while
he was commander-in-chief in China. AL
though he chose his language with caution,
Count Won Waldersee made several state
ments of the first importance.
THE English-Japanese alliance is of pre-
eminent significance" he said. lit reveals
the seriousness of the world situation. In
Japan. which L visited after leaving China,
a collision with Russia is regarded as I'M
avoidable. The Japanese troops which 1
saw are excellently trained. Several of the
Russian positions in East Asia seem still
to be exposed, but this will not be for long,
because Russia is making the best use OF
her time. Her position at sea is daily
growing stronger, and great interests are
at stake in china From all sides, Burma,
Tonkin and other places, energy is being
directed toward the Yang-tse valley, which,
because of its position and wealth, is the
most important part Of China"
Referring to his relations with the French
forces during the Chinese troubles, Count
Won Waldersee said: The common in
tellectual relations existing between France
and found expression in various
ways during the events in China. The
French troops always liked to fight by the
side of the German soldiers. The loyalty
of General Bailloud, who commanded the
French forces in China, is above doubt. 1t
was not his fault II the politicians pub
llshed certain letters for political purposes.
The idea of revenge" added the count, sis
no longer alive in the young generation in
France This young generation recognizes
that German unity, which the war of 1870
was designed TO prevent, cannot be re-
versed, and that Frances life interests to-
day demand the Strengthening civilization
of a great colonial empire"
Continuing, Count Won Waldersee said:
The reserved attitude of many Russian
officers during the China affair showed
that the anti-German sentiment, which was
cherished in Russia after the Berlin Con-
gress, was not yet extinguished. Many
cations imposed by the new situation. but
the weight of economic facts and the neces-
sity for Russia TO continue the work begun
in East Asia remain important elements in
the shap ing-Or, rather say, the continuance
of our good relations with Russia"

termination of the President, announced
on the 18th ultimo as a result of the testi-
mony taken by the Senate committee on
the Philippines in regard to the infection
Of the so-called water-cure.
The original plan was TO try Major Glenn
and the other officers involved with him in
this country, but ii was found more ex-
pedient to have the trial take place in the
Philippines for the reason that most of the
principal witnesses are now in that coun-
try. 1t is said that General Chafee is
practically the prosecutor In this case and
should not review the proceedings.
Lieut.. l.. A. Conger, Eighteenth lnfan-
try, and Capt. Palmer II. Lyon, assistant
surgeon of volunteers. who were said to
have been associated witt Major Glenn in
the torture of the presidente of the town
of Igbarras. are now in this country. Their
cases are being investigated by Judge Ad-
vocate General Davis with a view to de-
termining the advisability of trying them
by court-martial. IL is now said that such
action will depend TO a considerable eX-
tent on the evidence adduced at the trial of
Major Glenn. At present there is doubt
as TO the degree of responsibility exercised
by these officers in the particular case of
alleged torture under investigation.
