PEACE ALLIANCE IS POPULAR (Continued from First Page.) ese aniittire. being purely defensive,' Is no wise a disquieting element in the eastern situation. The agreement. It le claimed here, excludes Manchuria, and Russia, therefore, Is not menaced thereby. The al liance is taken to Indicate tbat Great Britain has abandoned its opportunities and vaclllltatlng action of recent years la the far east for a fixed policy and that the result will certainly make for the peaee ot the world. ' The question of Korea, provided for In the first article of the treaty, cannot result In a disturbance of the peace, because Russia baa no aggressive alma In that country. Japan also It. not In an aggressive mood. One ot. the' tint results of the alliance probably will be a new Japanese loan, at Japan baa need of money.. The ' Tempt says; "The new. alliance seems to Indicate that the British government Intends inaugurat ing a new policy In the far east. It Is of situation regarding Wel-Hal-Wei." England Gats Best ot It.. ' The Journal Des Debate remarks: "WO think England gets the best of the bargain.' She merely assumes theoretical obligations toward Japan, whereas the lat ter'e obligations toward England take a much more practical character. It does not seem as If Japan haa much reason to con gratulate herself on the treaty. While the ether powere cannot remain Indifferent to an alliance .which wilt leave England muoh less accommodating In the far east." " The Francalt says: -'r "The most Important result will be te give England greater freedom ' In the re mainder of the world." BERLIN, Feb. 1J. The National Zeltnng, referring to the new dual alliance, aaya: The Anglo-Japanese alliance bears a great resemblance to the triple alliance.' If the United States haa Joined Japan and Great ' Britain ha restating the signing ot the Manchurlan treaty It must be interred that the United States regards the new treaty sympathetically. - "Since the Interests of Jspan and Great Britain are necessarily defensive, the treaty has unmistakable slgniflcance in re gard to the preservation of peace in ths Orient.'" The 'Voeslache Zeltung also Infers ' that the treaty will tend to the maintenance ot Oriental tranquility and aays that to that extent 'it can be viewed .wi'b satisfaction bf Germany. But the paper adds that Ger many's interests In far eastern politics it not 'sufficient to Justify her offending Rut-, tla by participation. In such an agreement ' The Nenste Nachrtchten sees In the al liance a far greater practical advantage for Great Britain than for Japan, sfnee a Japanese-Russian war is the most probable of all possible conflicts in eastern Asia. The paper adds: "It is most ' unlikely that France will actively assist Russia in such a conflict. .Therefore Japan, with the agreement in her pocket, will have to reckon alone on the coat of settlements with Russia." v HYMENEAL.
