EPoCUMAKING DIPLOMACY.

approving the treaty itself; tho public knows
nothing OF its provisions, The assumption how

the war is over far Germany and tho
United States Is concerned, and sirvcs to each
IT'S proper rights and relations Because other
wise there would have been opposition OK
pressed by some OF the members OF the senate
committee.
But what we desire to call attention to is this:
There IL official peace between Germany ana
another treaty OF commerce and nm,y Is To
follow. That s tho hole card Uncle Sam VIII

conference. But In any event the thing that
will concern England very greatly Ia the knowl-
edge that good relations have been rc-ostab-
lishcd between America and Germany and that
nm entirely new treaty OF commerce and amity
is being negotiated.
Probably England. when It faces the tangled
skein OF It's own affairs growing out OF the In
risence OF Japan that the Anglo-Jap treaty
be renewed and the insistence of the United
States that 1t not be removed. probably Eng
land would give a pretty penny TO be assured

amity between America and Germany contem-
plates For instance, should ENGLAND dcfy

relations with the orientals disastcfui TO
