prevailed and failure resulted. NJ,

What the War Moves Mean
BY J. w. 7. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.--M. Del
casse's resignation as French foreign
minister is almost certainly due to the
refusal Of the British and French
governments to follow his advice con-
cerning the best way of dealing with
the Balkan situation. Sir Edward
Grey was given control of the diplo-
matte negotiations at the Balkan
capitals and the failure Of the British
foreign minister's policy apparently is
the reason why NJ Delcasse no longer
can support the allies methods in
southeastern Europe.
NJ. Delcasse is a diplomat of too wide
a reputation and he possesses too
strong a Chara acter to allow himself
to be overridden without protest when
rejection of his views results in dis.
comfOrture for his country's cause
He seemingly was willing to remain
inquiescent after his own opinion con
cerning the Balkan crisis were re
iected but only to permit the major
ity's viewpoint to prove its worth
When the majority was found to be
wrong then NJ. Delca sse's resignation
became inevitable. When two men
possessing such strong personalities
as NJ. Delcasse and Sir Edward Grey
find themselves in opposition. one
must eventually retire for the sake oi
his prestige. The time of NJ. Del
casse's retirement was we'll chosen.
It is probable that the crucial point
of difference between NJ. Delcasse an
Sir Edward CIrey was the question Ot
preparedness. M. Delcasse has al
ways been a strong advocate Of pre-
Ipsred diplomacy. In the present in
