From tho con-jotration con-jotration of American troops and war-Kps war-Kps at points contiguous to the Mcsi-Mn Mcsi-Mn border Europe is drawing an ox-Kinely ox-Kinely broad conclusion and one that pnnot be modified easily by diplomatic Res. Summed up in a sentence it. is Kb; The United States is entering man a new stage o national life on .southern frontier, just as it, is en-Bring en-Bring upon a now stage in tho north-la north-la frontier through tho Knox-Field,-mtf. reciprocity agreement. Drawn with complacency in certain Krts of Europe, tho deduction is dis-Kctly dis-Kctly unwolcomo in others. The geu-E&l geu-E&l feeling is that all Europe is af-Eted af-Eted profoundly by the plans for the napeuvers," no less than by the pro-Seed pro-Seed revision of Sscal arrangements. Bit is taken for granted that the Eshington policy in both matters as KaH others will bo "No step back-KM back-KM and no sidestepping." Paris, which views the situation mpre Ratcly than any other capital of im-rtanco, im-rtanco, thinks, despite the exchango messages for public consumption' fcveen the Taft and Diaz administratis, administra-tis, that the United States is acting Knirably in coupling with "its polito Tinflexiblo demand upon Mexico for Kirreducible minimum'' military pro-Ktions pro-Ktions quite elrectivo and not unne-Karily unne-Karily ostentatious. Bd. Leroy Bcauriou. after pointing &' that the aggregate of Europoan Kital invested in the "disturbed re-i)lic'A re-i)lic'A is not greatly inferior to .the Bnerieau investment, argues that Kshington has a stewardship for Eu-Ke Eu-Ke and must live up to it. K Berlin Is Anti-American. d Berlin, where anti-American senti-tiit senti-tiit is expressed with more candor an anywhere else on this side, the jgramme of the American "jingoes" Jr.ilououueed with great virulence spolceMiK'u of the agrarian and con-yativc con-yativc factions. Both are smarting ocr economic grievances, the latest Jfrviiich, is the potash difficulty, and th were bitterly chagrined at the firmiuahon of Mr. Taft to fortify Panama canal, not to mention the repeated London insinuation that is Berlin, rather than Tokio, aganist ilch the White House at Washington, inking thought for the morrow. fir, Taft's Mexican policy, accord-Uo accord-Uo the German commentator who ek furMiGrcst into tho realm of ir- Iusible conjecture, shows "the hol-sss hol-sss of the old pretense of the Mon-octriuc Mon-octriuc to be a safeguard for the American republics to tho south, that all the Avorld soes Taft using oe's mantle to cover a fishing ex-ion ex-ion in troubled waters." narcutly willing to scatter fire-is fire-is recklessly, another Berlin agi-declares agi-declares that in ten years, or in live, Mexico will have been janizcd into a docile Yankee sat-aEiderablo sat-aEiderablo harm might be done to international friendships by pro-id pro-id publication of interviews of this Sore Spots in London. London, where German criticism .nierican methods has rather moro 2 of late than is usual, tho soil for seed of misrepresentation of Mr. 's Mexican plans was prepared by up Clark 's famous reference to idinn annexation, nbassador Bryce's disclaimer of probability that the Pan-jViuerican Uganda of Die United States will seil cither in the Dominion of ula or in the Latin-American re-ics re-ics docs not satisfy the average lishinan. ider the caption "Champ. Champ, up. the Boys Are Marching" a er writer hits off tho suspicions of "man in -tin;-street" by saying that ue knows better than Uncle Sam to skin a cat, or how many ways c are of performing the opera-r opera-r the Hawaiian way, the Alaskan, Philippine way, the Panama way,' Cuban way, the Honduras way, and her ways'thc plausible old gentle- man is willing to illustrato if the cat will only He (pi'iot." He finishes his homily b- hoping that the next cat to Jjc the subject of diplomacy. will not be the British lion. In the'same vein of comment on the recent voltcfaco of American public men a satirist suggests that Mr. Taft. refuses to let the speaker of tho next house of representatives outfoot him as a humorist and consequent' is playing play-ing a colossal military joke, predicting that the honors will fall to lhe Demo-orat Demo-orat after all. , It will be a long time, he thinks, before be-fore John Bull forgets the humor of Champ Clark. |
