Washington, July 16.-Unofficially

I'm bad and half a dozen European
countries that share a similar distinc-
ton are delighted. European capitals
do not relish the German aggressive
ness so there is little doubt but that
the United States would have their
sympathies should affairs reach an
acute stage. The characteristic dis
play over the Madriz note is on a par
with the kaisers meddling with the
colonial policies of his European
neighbors, according to court circle
gossip. This aggressiveness has ere
ated bitter anti-German sentiment in
England France and other smaller
countries bordering on the North sea,
who now rejoice that America has
been touched with the same branding
iron. 1t is generally believed that the
German attack will harm American
merchants in South America and re-
bound to the benefit of Germany.

NOT MUCH HOPE OF

CONFERENCE HELD THIS
AFTERNOON TO DECIDE
Employees and Officials of Pennsyl-

tion-Engineers and Firemen May
Join In

Philadelphia. July 16.-The only
hope OF averting a strike Of railroad
men on the Pennsylvania lines east
of Pittsburg is the outcome of a con-
ference with employees Of the railroads
working west of Pittsburg There
seems little outlook toward a settle
ment. The men and officials are both
preparing for a break al any time.
Trainmen believe the conference is
merely made by officials to gain time
to prepare for a strike which might
start within two days.
The conference between General
Manager Peck and western employees
is watched interestedly. There is a
great chance for complications as the
firemen and engineers are ready to
go out with the conductors and brake
men. This situation has not yet de-
veloped in the eastern end of the
line as only brakemen and conduc-
tors are agitated.

This utterance was made last night
by Foreign Minister Count Komura

There is no reason for a breach of
friendship between the United States

Sound judgment must predominate
False reports or evil suggestions have
not been justified by any action eth

desires and is advocating peace and
arbitration perhaps more than other

Mr. Dickinson and party, who are
