BLOW AT IMPERIALISM
PASSITE ROLE FOR L. s..
French Opinion of Refusal of Bat
Heshps Appropriation.
Especial by French Cable to The Tribune


Paris April 1S-The refusal of Congress to
grant the appropriation for four batleships asked
by President Roosevelt is widely discussed IN the
French press the trend of opinion being that II
is an indication that the United States is wiling
TO confine herself henceforth to passive role
in foreign affairs and that Imperialism is losing
ground all along the line.
lie Temps" says For the last ten years
the American policy has changed its character,
and II is now too late to return TO the simple
life of earlier years But the Americans do not
accept the logical consequences of the change
They see the object. but do not desire to adopt
the necessary means. President Roosevelt 3
naval policy consists in creating these means.
Therefore Congress. sooner or later. will take
it up again. When one is right one always
ends by carrying the day and success is only
a question of time"
on the same subject The Radical" says
President Roosevelt is a great partisan of the
increase of the naval force Of the United States.
He desires a powerful American fleet not as
he says, to be used as an instrument of aggres-
sion and conquest but in order to be ready
when the moment comes for its employment.
No nation can be respected that is,not strong
The action of the American Congress has
elected from Paul Benazet, an authority on
naval matters. a statement that attracts con-
siderable attention. NJ. Benazet after making
certain criticisms the state of the French
navy says that in 1915 France will possess
twelve batteships, while at the same time,
thanks 10 the continuity of its efforts toward
the uninterrupted execution of a plan estab-
lished with judgment, Germany will possess
more than thirty batteships, equal to the most
powerful English ones. 1t is absurd. NJ. Benazet
continues. to suppose that the Kaiser is having
such large number OF battleships built for the
simple pleasure of protecting his international
commerce. If he is forging such formidable
arms with so much care it is because he counts
on using them, either in against England
or France or against both at the same time.

SIR EDWARD GREY FIRM
Diplomats Seek to Entangle HIM m
Macedonian Compromise.
Especial by French Cable to The Tribune
Ic,nnrriSht laOs. by The Tribune Association


London, April 1S.-While million holiday
seekers have been sent out of London for Easter
with the warning from Colonel Yorke that the
engine drivers are so heavily overworked that
they are likely to fall asleep at their posts anu
overrun the danger signal as at Shrewsbury
there is no ground for uneasiness that the rlsks
of a war of injustice are increased through
the strenuous labors of statesmen like Sir Ed
ward Grey, who are responsible for the peace
OF the world. It is not likely that he Will aban-
don the high ground taken on the Macedonian
question although Russian and German dlplo-
matists are seeking TO entangle him in compro-
misses nor that he will relax his vigilance on the
Congo question, on which he is working hand in
hand with Secretary Root TO secure the fulfil
ment of the treaty guarantees for justice and
humanity to the natives.
Nor is there serious reason for any apprehen-
sion that the labors of the British Ambassador
III Washington and the American Ambassador
here for the settlement Of outstanding ques-
tions between America and England will fail
through the exigencies of party politics or safe
guards for the protection of the Senate's consti-
tutional rights. l. n +.

no gayety until the return Of the King from

the dinner parties and Liberal receptions are
considered dull by the smart people, who have

GRUNDY'S NEW FARCE.
II Fearful Joy' Produced at the
Haymmkct.
Especial by French Gable to The Tribune.


London, 4 priI 1S-There was d holiday crowd
at the Haymarket tonight for the first per-
formance of Sydney Grundy's farce. "A Fearful
JOY" The original, a French play, was writ
ten forty wears ago for the purpose If ridicul-
ing the ordinary stage Lothario. The adapter
has borrowed he ma4r ideas and dressed and
reftted them TO suit himself. What the play
wrights cynicaIly call the eternal triangle"
was never treated less seriously, and since
there was much laughter during the evening
it was presumably d broadly humorous farce.
Mrs Langtry was the theatrical sentimental
wife with d variety of handsome gowns and
Arthur Bourchier the easygong, stupid hus-
band. The comedy was supplied mainly by Al
Ian Aynesworth as a prohigate who was con-
stanty paying the piper and never getting in
tune ID by Edmund Maurice as an audacious
valet who kept everybody under surveillance
and had all the material for a divorce suit in
his own possession.
There VIII be many revivaIs and changes
in programme at the theatres in the next
three weeks. The managers are making siren
uous efforts TO find out what the public wants
and a majority Of them are probably drawing
blanks in the lottery. There will be fresh ex-
periments with American plays, Way Down
East being among the earliest at AIdwych
with the company already on the ground re-
hearsing and the general manager threatening
legal proceedings against a condensed version
under another title. John Hare will reappear
as the Gay LORD Quex at the Garrick and
Mrs. Wards The Marriage of William Ashe"
will be staged at Terry's.
Meanwhile Shakespeare holds the field at
