Suspected in Washington.
Refusal of Two Countries to
Participate in Frisco Exhibi-
ton and South American
Bank Incident Regarded as
Significant.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-Informa-
tion has reached Washington that
Great Britain and Germany have en-
tered into an offensive and defensive
alliance against the United States.
These two powers, according to in
formation received here. are operat-
ing under an agreement that is de-
signed 10 check the growth of Ameri~
can commerce in every market In
which 1t comes in competition with
German and British interests 1t is
understood that this government has
instituted an inquiry through diplo-
matte channels to determine just how
far-reaching is the scope and pur-
pose o< this Anglo German alliance.
Two recent developments bearing
on American trade are declared to
point conciisively to the existence Of
an agreement between Great Britain
and Germany to resist To the utmost
the endeavors of this country. to
broaden and extend its foreign mar
ket.
Suspicious Facts.
The first was the refusal of Great
Britain and Germany to participate In
the pan-American exposition to be
held in San Francisco i'm 1915. The
second was the abandonment by the
National City bank OF New York of
its plan to establish big branch
in the Argentine Republic.
Despite the denial made by PresN
dent Nanderlip, OF the National City
bank, the statement Is made here
that this institution was threatened
by German and British interests and
that accordingly 1t abandoned tenn
porarily at least its purpose to estab-
lish a branch in the Argentine Re-
public for the benefit OF American
trade The statement In made fur
Their that Morgan Shuster. who went
to South America for the National City
bank. had progressed so far In his
work as to have obtained suhscrip-
