count of the trouble at Honolulu It was

Washington Hasn't Heard II.

Washington Hasn't Heard It.
Washington, July 4--Nothing has yet
been heard In official quarters of the ulti-
matum delivered to China by Japan and
England, according to dispatches printed
to-day. It is certain that the United
States has not recently been approached
in this direction by either Of the govern
ments named as parties to the agree
ment, so that it has had no opportunity
to indicate whether or not it would lend
its moral support to an effort on the
part of England and Japan to protect
their interests in Manchuria.
The Standards View.
New York Sun Special Service
London, July Regarding the unof-
fetal draft of the Japanese note the
Standard, while not assuming that 1t is
necessarily accurate, contends that 1t
fairly describes the line which would be
taken by the interested parties If they
should feel that the time has come for
decisive speaking, and it says the ques-
ton which Russian statesmen will have to
ask themselves is whether they must not
expect to find that Great Britain, Japan
and the United States are prepared to
intervene in behalf of the territorial in
| tegrity of China in a fashion which will
compel them to choose between perilous
defiance and undignifed surrender.
Russia will be placed in an awkward
position if she refuses to evacuate Man
churia She cannot afford to defy such
| a combination To recall her troops I'M
der what would be in substance threat
| of war, however carefully disguised with
diplomatic courtesies, would subject Rus
STA to discredit. Yet she is following g.
| policy which must infallibly bring her
to this dilemma unless, which Is hardly
credible, the other governments concerned
are prepared to allow her to make good
the annexation of Manchuria.
