Many Rumors Afloat, But None
Seem Easy Of Solution.

London, Feb. s.-various reports
which throw cloak of mystery around
the visit of viscount Haldane, secre-
tary of war, to Berlin, do not find any
support in official circles.
1t was rumored that he had gone to
Germany to conduct negotiations In
reference to the restriction OF arma-
ments. In another quarter 1t was said
that his visit was connected with the
cession of Walfisch Bay in South
Africa to Germany while still another
said that his purpose was to try to Sc
cure the pardon of Bertrand Stewart,
the London lawyer whose recent SEN
tence to three and half years inn
prisonment by the imperial court at
Leipsig for espionage has caused so
much resentment in England.
There is every reason to believe that
Viscount Haldane has gone to Ger
many merely to see a personal friend
on purely private business and that his
visit is strictly nom political.

head; but sat with his hands limp on

a furtrimmed overcoat collar partly
shielding his face.

Sec. Knox Addresses Note 10 the
German Ambassador.

Washington, Feb. S.-Sec. KnoX's
note to Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador. just made public, is
taken to be the preliminary of an ex-
pected exchange of notes between the
United States, Germany, Great Brit
ain, France, Japan and Russia, which
would be of immense Importance in
placing all those powers on record for
concerted action and a common under
standing in the protection of the integ-
rity of China.
While the note is addressed to the
German ambassador, copies have been
sent to all the other powers named.
There happily has thus far been no
reason for interference on the part OF
foreign powers, inasmuch as both I'M
perialists and Republicans have guar
anteed the life and property of the for
eign population and the latest reports
tend to strengthen the belief that it is
improbable that future developments
will necessitate such interference, ;"
said Sec. Knox.
The remainder of the note follows:
..In reply to your note of the S1st
