With President on Concerning ohssF.
vance 81 EsutraIIiS
FIRST RULER TO RESPOND.


St P6terSDhrg, MOT H. iooA
Roosevelt's recent proclamation regard
ing the observance Of neutrality BY all
officials and the abstenance from fur
ther action or speech which might
cause irritation to either Japan or
Russia has produced great impress
sion here. The newspapers print
prominently articles commanding the
substance and spirit Of the proclama-
ton in the highest terms The Official
Gazette accepts 1T unreservedly as a
complete answer to the charges that
the American government is hostile to
Russia and declares that thereafter de-
spite any seemingly untoward incident
which may arise, 1t will be considered
settled once for all that "The Ameri-
can government has taken a friendly
attitude toward our aims and policies
in the Far East" adding: This un-
doubtedly marks a change in American
sentiment, the people there realizing
the danger Of supporting Japan"
The Novosti halls the suspicious ini-
tiative Of President Roosevelt in the
interest Of universal peace and good
relationship between Russia and the
United States saying; HE Yields
practically unlimited authority with
respect to the foreign policy Of the
country, Secretary Hay submitting to
the will of the president"
The Russ welcomes the proclamation
as convincing evidence Of more
friendly feeling on the part OF Ameri'
cans for Russia.
The Boerse Gazette remarks:
Theodore Roosevelt was the first
ruler to respond to the warning cry Is
sued many years ago by Emperor
William against the yellow peril"
The St. Petersburg Zeitung asserts
that the proclamation leaves no fur
ther doubt that the United States has
the firm intention to observe strict
neutrality and adds: ut bears the
stamp of strong and most distinguished
personality"
The papers also make a display OF
the denial Of the New Chwang reports
that the United States intends to sup
port the protest of the commander OF
the United States gunboat Helena
against the plan Of the Russian authori'
ties to sink junks at the entrance OF
the Lao river, evidently considering
that this puts an end to the statement,
which caused furry here and that
further comment is unnecessary.

President Roosevelt Calls upon all
Government Officers 10 give no offsnss'
ISSUES EXECUTIVE ORDER,
"aiys no Cause Of Offenss to tho People
Of any Friendly Power. and with all
Mankind we are In Friendship

Washington, Mar. IA. - President
Roosevelt, after conference with Sec'
retary Of State Hay, issued the follow
ing executive order, respecting the OBJ
servaAe Of the proclamation recently
promulgated, declaring the neutrality
Of the United States between Russia
and Japan. the two combinations in
the Far Eastern war now in progress
IAN officials Of the government,
civil, military and naval, are hereby
directed not only to observe the Presi4
dents proclamation Of neutrality in
the pending war between Russia and
Japan, but also to abstain from either
action or speech which canlegitimately
cause irritation to either of the COM
batan.s. The government Of the Unit
ed States represents the people OF the
United States, not only in the sincerity
with which it is endeavoring to keep
the scales Of neutrality exact and even,
but IN the sincerity with which it de-
plores the breaking out Of the present
war and hopes that it will end at the
earliest possible moment and with
the smallest possible loss to those en-
gagged. Such a war inevitably increases
and inAames the susceptibilities Of the
combatants to anything in the nature
Of an injury or slight by outsiders
"Teo often combatants make con-
ficting claims as to the duties and OBJ
legations Of neutrals, so that even
when discharging these duties and Oh
legations with scrupulous care it is
difficult to avoid giving offense to one
or the other party. 10 such unavold'
able causes Of offense. due to the per-
tormance Of national duty, there must
not be added any avoidable causes. 1t
is always unfortunate to bring old
world antipathies and jealousies into
our life, Or by speech or conduct excite
anger and resentment toward our ma
ton in frien ly foreign lands; but in q
governmental employee, whose official
position makes him, in some sense,
the representative of the people, the
mischief Of such action is greatly in
creased. A strong and self-confdent
nation should be particularly careful,
not only Of the rights, but Of the slls-
oephbfities Of Its neighbors; and now
adays, all of the nations of the world
are neighbors, one to the other. Cour-
tesy,, moderation and self-restraint
should mark no less than private in
tertourse.
IAN the officials Of the government,
civil, military, and naval, are expected
50 to carry themselves, both in act and
in deed, as to give no cause for just Of
tense to the people Of any friendly
power-and with all mankind we are
now in friendship.
