TREATY PLEASES
THE OLD WORLD
Universal Satisfaction Over United
States-Japanese Agreement

BERLIN, Nov. SO--The state de-
partment of Washington sounded
the German foreign ONCE in advance
concerning the Japanese-American
agreement for maintenance of the In
tegrity of China and Of the status
quo in the Pacific and was informed
that 1t would be received here with
the fullest approval. being in the In
terest of Germany as well as the
powers participating in It. Germany's
policy In the far east is identical with
that Of the United States and II Is
one part OF the world where the two
governments have pronounced mu-
tual interests.
The foreign Office considers the
agreement a high achievement in the
statesmanship OF both countries, the
United States and japan and that 1t
was executed on a large scale of lib
crafty and good will.
Hearty Satisfaction IN England
LONDON, Nov. SO-The United
States-Japanese agreement claims
the maximum OF interest and atten-
ton here, primarily on international
grounds. as putting an end to a ait
uation which might at any time have
developed between the United States
and Japan difficulties involving deli
cate considerations for the British
government, and second because OF
its being a new departure in the poll
cy OF the United States government
with regard to foreign entangle-
ments.
1t is understood that the British
government was IONS tied by both
America and Japan before the agree
ment was concluded.
The London Daily Mall expresses
the heartiest satisfaction. which
amounts to an expression OF relief at
this new assurance Of peace in the
far east.
The Morning Post says: The
United States in recent years has rem
dered 10 the cause Of peace services
that can not be lightly estimated. The
new agreement postpones indefinitely
the once much talked OF .truggle for
the mastery Of the Pacific"
The Standard says ''In plain Eng
fish, It means an alliance for military
and naval operations when the Amer
lean and japanese governments agree
to communicate with each other a.
to advisable measures IN event Of
disturbance Of the status quo. The
object is 20 laudible that no outside

The Daily Mail says: THE ar
rangement is another link In the
chain that letters the spectre Of war.
It marks not merely a renewal Of
the traditional friendship that was
dropped under suspicion, but the
creation OF a firm equilibrium IN that
part of the world in which gloomy
and prophetic glances have often
been directed"
The Daily News also regards the
agreement as tAntamount to an al
lance and urges that It IL ridiculous

Settled

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Nov. 90
Timothy L. Woodruff. chairman OF
the New York republican state COM
mittee, today eliminated himself from
the New York senatorial race in fav-
or Of Secretary of State Root. This

Aside from these statements. each
OF which comedies the elction Of Mr.
Root to succeed Senator Plat on
January 10 next, no details of the
conference were made known.
Mr.. Taft said:
Taft Compliments Woodruff.
1 can only say that am much
pleased at the attitude OF Governor
Woodruff. He has been moved by
an earnest desire to promote harmony
and has established his claim to the
gratitude Of the republicans of New
York, and also of the country at
large, for making it is certain as
possible that such a statesman as Mr..
Root will be chosen to represent that
state in the senate.
Il am personally very much pleas
ed, now that have had to give up
my purpose to continue Mr.. Root in
the cabinet, that l shall have the
support and assistance which he will
render to the administration, with
his great ability and his knowledge
of governmental affairs. / am sure
from what ! know that the action OF
Mr.. Woodruff and the election of Mr..
Root will conduce, to great harmony
among the republicans in New York
and will strengthen the party"
Woodruff Gives His Reasons.
Mr.. Woodruff's statement follows:
II have refrained from all public
discussion Of the United States SEN
atorial campaign and have made no
statement as to what my course con-
corning it would be, both because Of
the views l hold that the power OF
the state committee should not be
used to further the candidacy of any
person against another and also be-
cause / have been awaiting the dis
position of all matters left over from
the congressional committee, includ-
ing the preparation and filing of our
financial statement, before giving
this matter any serious considera-
ton. As soon as this work was con-
cluded l came to Hot Springs at the
request of the president-elcet, / have
learned from him that as 1t is now
dfinitely determined that he can not
retain Secretary Roots services In the
cabinet he is very DESTROYS, but with
out interfering in the matter, that
this administration shall have the
benefit in the senate of the exception
ally valuable assistance which MT.
Root can render by reason of his In
