ALLIES TRUST AMERICA
BEYOND NEED OF TREATY

Complete understanding of Ameri-
cas- attitude in the war-unreserved
cooperation in the fight of democra-
cy against the German military men
ace without entangling political alli-
ances-was expressed by Foreign
Minister Balfour, head Of the Brit
ish war commission, in statement
Last week to newspaper correspon-
dents.
"I am told" said Mr.. Balfour,
''that there are some doubling critics
who seem to think that the object of
the missions of Great Britain and
france is to inveigle the United
States out of it's traditional policy
and to entanble it in formal ALI
ance, secret or public, with Euro
pean powers. I can not imagine any
rumor with less foundation, nor can
I imagine any policy so utterly un-
necessary. Our confidence in the
assistance which we are going to get
from this community is not based
upon such considerations as those
which arise out of formal treaties"
The foreign minister's statement
was officially said to have been made
as result OF nlS conferences during
the past few days with President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing. It
was generally regarded as disposing
finally Of suggestions in some quar-
ters that the United States might be
asked to sign a treaty not to make
a separate peace.
This was an eventful day for the
British commissioners, marked by a
hearty welcome to Frances illustri-
GUS war commission and the deliv-
cry to Ambassador Spring Rice of
Americas first loan to the allies,
s200,000,000.
Mr.. Balfour lunched today with
the Italian ambassador, spent part of
the afternoon at the treasury de-
partment with Secretary McAdoo
and was entertained at dinner at the
British embassy where a reception
attended by the diplomatic corps
and high American officials followed.
The foreign minister received the
newspaper men during the day, at
the residence where he is entertain
ed as the guest Of the nation.

HOW A DUKE ONCE
EARNED sIxPENCE

Harper's Bazaar for May contains
several good stories about the Duke
Of Norfolk, who died the other day.
Although the premier duke of Eng
land, and one of the richest men
abroad, he was always very shabby
in dress. One day when in Rome, an
American tourist caught him by the
sleeve and said, 81 have noticed you
loafing about all the stations. Just
make yourself useful and put these
bags on my cab"
The Duke did the work, and pock-
eted a tin Of sixpence with the
words: 'Thank you, madam, it's
the first money I've ever earned In
my life"
