SECRETARY HAYS NOTE.

Suggestion to Limit the Area
r Of Hostilities. i

Washington, Feb. ~13.-s..To Russia
and Japan, the Washington govern
ment suggests the propriety Of limiting
hostilities within as small an area as
possible and Of respecting the neutral
ity and administrative entity of China,
that China may be free from disturb
ances and foreign interests there from
menace" s
This is the substance of the note adj
dressed by Secretary Hay on February
10 to the st. Petersburg and Toxic gov
ernments. On February In . note to
Germany, Great Britain and France,
Mr.. Hay invited those powers concur
rently to address Russia and Japan
with the same suggestion, and on Feb
ruary III this invitation was extended
to Italy, Austria Hungary, The Neither
lands, Denmark, Spain and Belgium.
Germany was the first to respond,
with a prompt acceptance of the invi-
tation and the promise that she inn
mediately would address the two COM.
batants.
Great Britain was heard from next.
expressing adherence to the principle
laid down in the note, but Withholding
formal acceptance pending an answer
to an inquiry whether the "administra-
ton entity" of China involved Man
churia.s
Japan was heard from quickly with
the answer that she would act readily
on the suggestion of the United States
If a similar promise could be obtained
from Russia.
Italy, Austro-H Hungary and The,
Netherlands expressed sympathy with
the idea and promised an answer after
consultation with other powers. There
is reason to believe that Spain and
Belgium also will accept the invitation.
Russia thus for has been silent and the
attitude Of France is one of hesitation.
This is the situation at this time.
Meantime it is learned that Germany
is addressing the combatants with
note in substance the same as that of
Secretary Hay.
