Foreign Office Regards Next Two
Months as Critical Period for
United States and Japan.
FLEET MAY AVERT CONFLICT.
strong Enough To Restrain Japnn from
Enzard Of War--S.r Charles
Dixie Not Apperhensivc.

Berlin, Jan s--The next two months
are regarded by the German foreign
office and the admiralty as constitut-
ing critical period in the relations
between the United States and Japan.
If they pass without Witnessing
break in the relations, high government
officials are convinced that the United
States and Japan Will enter upon an
easier and safer basis of agreement
The development of the American-Jap-
anese situation Is being studied here
day by day because from 1t there may
issue events which might change the
present international balance and deep
ly affect Europe as well rs s&lerica.
The Marine Bundschau. the principal
naval magazine of Germany, says in
its January number:
IF war does not come between Jap
an and the United States, the Union
may thank the preponderance OF its
fleet for the maintenance of peace. This
fleet already is sufficiently strong to
restrain Japan from the hazard OF
war"
In conclusion the magazine says the
threatened. conflict may now be entire
ly averted as result of the transfer
of the fleet to, ana other defensive
measures, in the Pacific.
dixie SEES NO DANGER.
London, Jan. 3.--Charles Dixie, NJ.
p. in an Interview today on The
worlds policies I'm 1905" expressed the
opinion that there will not be Il war
between the United States and Japan.
''Why should there be?" asked Sir
Charles. You cannot have war un-
less one side wants 1t. What possibly
could be gained by war? gan is
supposed 10 covet the Philippines, but
she has not yet digested the slice OF
Manchuria that the Russo-Japanese
war gave her, nor has she even set
tied Formosa. Does she not know that
even if she did defeat the American
fleet her triumph would not be forever,
since the United States would build
a new fleet and Japan's expenditure in
blood and treasure might be for moth
ine?"
Referring to the cruise of the battle
ship fleet to the Pacific, Sir Charles
says this Is a demonstration of the
power of the American navy and likely
to enhance its prestige. The only
black spot in the foreign outlook, Sir
Charles holds is in South America, and
this on account of unsettled frontiers
of Uruguay and Paraguay.
