NO ADVANCE STATEMENT

New, York. Sept. 25.-Attorney General
Wickcrsham made the following state

of the. United States Steel Corporation:
'9tbas been the consistent policy of the
department not to state in advance of
actual proceedings that action against
any particular party was in contempla-
ton There are many reasons why this
is the proper position to maintain. In
the first place, until investigation is COM
plete it is not known whether or not a
case of violation of law exists; and in the
second place, the character of the pro-
ceedings cannot h. determined until then.
and IL the facts shall require criminal
proceedings TO be resorted to, ordinary
prudence would demand that publicity be
not given to that fact until indictments
are found,

parts could not be determined until such
study and examination is completed. Each
case satnds on its own footing and de-

those in control of such combination

would necessarily give very careful con-

much prefer that business interests should
themselves so readjust their organizations
as to remove all possible criticism con-
corning their legality, than that the de-
partment of justice should have to con-
duet legal proceedings to compel such re-
adjustment
1T cannot be too positively stated
that the department is not inaugurat-

interests of the country or an indis-
criminate attack against all large con-
Germs. On the contrary the care and

Berlin, Sept. 25.--Although Germany

learned that she is exerting her best

hostilities between these two countries
as a menace to European peace since
it would probably be followed by an
outburst in the Balkans. into when
