AS AN ACT OF Comfy.
The Surrender of Kratz Will Call
For Reciprocity on Our Part.

Nh Surrender OF hratE Will Sali
For Reciprocity on Our Part.
Washington, Oct. 24.-The state de-
partment has arranged for the return
from Mexico to st. Louis for trial OF
the alleged boodler, Chas. G. Kratz.
The constitution of Mexico making 1t
impossible to surrender fugitives from
this country charged with bribery COM
mitter prior to the negotiation of the
new eXtradition treaty, the state de-
partment has called on the Mexican
government to surrender Kratz as an
act of comfy, a very unusual proceed
ing on the part of the United States
government. Mexico has a law allow
ing fugitives to be surrendered under
such a call, sven when their alleged
crimes are not extraditable under
treaty. The only requirement is that
the nation seeking the surrender of
such a fugitive shall engage to grant
any similar request coming from Mex
leo. The state department is waiting
to hear further from Gov. Dockery of
Missouri before issuing the final pa
pers accrediting Misssouri's agents
with authority to receive Kratz.

CONTEMPT FOR

Russia Expresses No Fear of Amer

THREATS CAUSE NO ALARM
UndisGuised Declaration of Con-
tempt For the United S~tntes-Navy
Not Large Enough to Demand
Recognition of Our Rights.

London, Oct. 26.-It is clear that
States will he at least inactiyely hostile
to her Cause in any conflict with Japan.
The Russian government is also trying
to persuade itself that it can ignore
the danger of any active defense of
American rights in the far east. How
else can the following remarkable ut
terance which Novoe Vremya raj per-
mitted to make last week be i%nterpre-
ted:
Navy Not Large Enough.
american statesmen realize the
approaching of collisions with trans
oceanic powers, and therefore are in
sisting upon a rapid enlargement of
their navy. At present this navy is also
considered not large enough to attain
the objects desired, and the powers of
the old world are not compelled to
reckon very seriously with the United
States. Their real force is not very
great. 1t is only when they possess
a navy that will command the ocean
separating the old from the new world
that the Americans will be able to
demand the recognition of them. This
will not be SOON. and in the meantime
American demands and threats need
mo- particularly alarm either Europe
or Asia"
Unable to Defend Our Rights.
This is an undisguised declaration
that American rights anywhere need
not be respected because the United
States is unable to defend them. No
utterance could express more clearly
or frankly the cynical INSCRIPTIONS
less of the Russian policy. The won
der is that the Russian authorities al
low it to be avowed so openly, and
that apparently they have no fear OF
the effect upon high-spirited people OF
so fragrant and contemplated a def
ance.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that Secretary of Wal Root,
while in London, has not been reserved
in the expression of his opinion that
the United States should not hesitate
to defend to the uttermost her treaty
rights in the far east.
