The London Daily Chronicle warns
the English government of the danger
of becoming embroiled with the United
States over questions of contraband of
war, and argues that any enlargement
between the countries would be the ex
treme OF bad management,
1T must be the guiding principle of
the English government, the article
says. ITO direct its naval policy so that
we may not become embroiled with any
neutral power. Ia nearly every war Of
the past two centuries we incurred this
danger
The only really powerful neutral of
the present is the United States. II
there is wise craftsmanship we shall
remain IN perfect amity with that pow
er, as with the Netherlands, which pos
sssses the great gateway leading to the
heart of Germany.
The United States possesses the
right to send Cargoes to Rotterdam, and
will exercise that right. We must be
prepared TO see neutral American YES
sells discharging carQoes in Holland
ports. Many questions are likely 10 arise
regarding the exclusion of absolute or
conditional contraband-that is, tn ngs
that may be used by the German naval
and military forces,
1T has been the British practice to re-
gard as liable to capture any contraband
cargoes concerning which it could be
proved thew had an Interior hostile des-
tinaton. 1t is evident that this provis-
ion presents real danger, as the char
acter of cargo can only be ascertained
by exercising the right of search which
the United States has strongly resisted
and which was the cause of the war of

The Bosom Globe, Republican. says
it is interesting to mark how pubic
opinion changes in some quarters a
few months ago there was here and
there spirit of jingoism in this coun'
try, and our government was being urg-
ed to make war on Mexico.
Now, instead of being denounced and
ridiculed tor his "watchtul waiting
policy, the President is commended
warmly everywhere for not having EN-
broiled the United States in a war
This revusion of feeling is attributed di
rectly to the war in Europe, when the
United States stands forth as the one
great power in the world at peace witt
all nations Our unique position at this
time meets with hearty approval all ovei
the United States.
