 CALLED SUICIDAL

Lendon. March 13-In a long article to- day on the far eastern situation and Jac- cob Schif's recent speech in New York, the Morning Post complains strongly of the lack of judgment shown by the Brit ish foreign office and says that it is not surprising that Secretary of State Knox and MT. Schifr are on the warpath accusing Great Britain of intriguing with Japan against the United States
 Tn plain words,' says the article, I've are picking chestnuts out of the fire for Japan and encouraging her to ask more than her share as well as trample on the principle of the open door The whole proceeding is suicidal and unnecessary. If Sir Edward Grey had told Japan that she must play the game and cease tho policy of grab in Mongolia, his recom- mendation would almost certainly have availed.''
 The Post contends that 1t will be a bad day for Great Britain when the An- glo-Japanese alliance leads her into a de- pendence on Japan and that if a quarrel with the United States is added to the existing trouble the situation will be se- rious.
 No empire can afford to begin .hir- ing the barbarians,'" continues the Post. "An alliance on equal terms is one thing and masked subservience Is another. Yet British diplomacy is suggesting to the world that we cannot afford to do any thing but our ally's bidding The strug- gle over the Mongoian railroads may define our position in the Pacific for many years. Let us hope that wise coun- sels will yet prevail in Downing street.

DEMOCRATS MEET
 IN CONFERENCE

O'Connor. also of St. Paul. regarded as the dem ocratic leaders of the state. left their separate hotels and dined together last night. They met to revive "reminiscences of other political days. they declared. when asked as to the significance of the gathering.
 Since the arrival of Chairman Mack here there have been a number of prom mont southern democrats visiting in Hot Springs. Then few prominent leaders from the north dropped in and then came Nelson Mcleod, personal representative of Joseph Folk. Rooms were beginning to be heralded when came the leader of Tammany, who is believed to be interest ed in putting New Yorker into prom thence, and Mayor Gaynor has been pre- dicted as the nah the east would favor for party leadership.
 .I came here for my wife's health !" said MT. Murphy. He refused to dis cuss the political situation. This is his first visit to Hot Springs. Mayor Law Ter was reticent, too, as to national po- litical affairs, but gave authority for the statement that he had been criticised by republicans for his long absence from St Paul. and that he would go back next week and make up for lost time. in so far as campaign affairs are concerned, at least Mir Mack and MT. O'Connor toiu stories.
 So, if the presence here of all these national party men is by design. as is ap- parent. and has important bearing on the next national election, they are keep ing counsel well in the matter.
