On French Paper Says Presidency
Ends Brilliantly Agreement at
Psychological Moment Heads
Off Chinese Trouble.
PARIS. Nov. 2. The Paris press unani
mously recognises the imfnense import
ance of the American-Japanese agreement,
conrlderlng It a master stroke of diplo
macy for the two countries.
The Temps In its leading editorial says
thnt the Japanese seem to repudiate the
idea of future rivalry, regarding it aa
witer for them to limit- their ambitions
and consolidate their Interests.
Even If the time la coming when either
the white or the yellow race, is destined
to rule the 'world, says the Temps, good
will and opportunity often serve to divert
the apparently Imperious oourse of events.
This spirit of good will. It is assumed
animates the cabfneta at Washington and
Tqkio.
Triumph for Open Door Policy.
The Journal points nut that similarly to
the new agreement, the provisions of the
Fre nco- Japanese treaty constitute
triumph i r The Hague "open door
policy." and emphasize the vast Import
ance of the article In It relative to com
mon action in China.
"With thia reservation." says the Jour
nal, "the agreement cannot be too high'
Iv commended. It does honor to the
political wisdom of Washington and
Toklo. Its success la as great as tlie un
ilcrlnkiiiK was difficult. Roosevelt
Presidency ends brilliantly. The agree
ment comes at the psychological moment.
when the Chinese succession raises the
spectre of trouble."
The Journal des Debals says:
"Japan gives Europe a formal guaran
ty of her disinterestedness. Asia an
America can only be the gainers by the
economic approachment of Japan espe
ciallv as the progress of the Panam
Canal will profoundly transform the trade
route to her advantage.
Thinks Germany Will Be Irritated
The Liberie thinks the succession ques
tion in China, coupled with the alleged
"Yellow peril'' utterances of the German
Emperor, precipitated the agreement. In
Its opinion the last clause of the agree
ment. which pledges the two governments
in case of the occurrence of any even
threatening the atatus quo. to communi
cate wrth each other for the purpose of
arriving at a mutual understanding with
regard to measures which they should
take, is moat likely to Irritate Germany
whose Far Eastern dreams are almost
encountering formidable realities.
IV Act ion considers the agreement as
practically a defensive alliance, covering
China and the coasts of the Pacific, as
it comes at a time when China Is the
orev of the covetousness of all.
"At Tokto," says IV Action, "an economic
and prudent ministry is instituting na
tional prosperity; at Washington Mr.
Taft. who probably Inspired the new
entente. Is about to assume the power.
and enforce the same policy for four
years."

English Papers Rejoice
lihinent of Agreement.
IjONDON. Nov. 29. The United States
Japanese agreement claims the maximum
of attention and interest here, primarily
on International grounds as putting an
end to a situation which might at any
moment have developed between the
United States and Japan difficulties in
volving delicate considerations for the
British government and secondly because
of its being a new departure In the policy
of the United States Government with
regard to foreign entanglements
It is understood the British government
was consulted by both America and Japan
before the agreement was concluded.
The Ixndon Daily News expresses the
heartiest satisfaction, which amounts to
an expression of relief at this new assur-
ance of peace In the Far Bast. The Morn
ing Post says:
The United States In recent years
has rendered to the cause of peace
services that cannot be lightly esti
mated. The new agreement postpones
indefinitely the onoe much-talked-of
struggle for the mastery of the Pa
clflc."
The Standard says:
"In plain English It means an alli
ance for military and naval operations
when the American and Japanese gov
ernments agree with each other as to
advisable measures In event of the dls
turbance of the stAtus quo. The object
so laudable that no outside nation
can take offense.
The Daily Mail says:
"The agreement is another link in the
chain that fetters the spectre of wars. It
marks not merely a renewal of the tradi
tional friendship that was dropped under
suspicion, but the creation of a firm
eqmllbrium In that part of the world In
which gloomv and prophetic glances have
oft"n been directed."
The Daily News also thinks the agree
ment tantamount to an alliance and ar
gues that it is ridiculous for Great Brit
ain to continue to Include the United
States In the two-power standard against
which It Is considered necessary to build
navy.
BERLIN APPOVES OP TREATY
German Government Has Common
Interest With United States.
BERLIN. Nov. 29. The State Depart
ment at Washington sounded the German
Foreign Office in advance concerning the
Japanese-American agreement for main
tenance of the Integrity of China and of
the status quo In the Pacific and was
nformed that it would be received here
with the fullest approval, being In the
Interest of Germany as well as the powers
participating In It. Germany's policy in
he Far East is Identical with that of the
United States and It Is one part of the
world where the two governments have
pronounced mutual interests.
The foreign office considers the agree
ment a high achievement in the states
manship for both the United States and
Japan and that It was conceived and ex
ecuted on a large scale of liberality and
good will.

ALL VICTIMS OF TRAGEDY
Father, Insane, Kills Son, Turning
Gun on Wife and Himself.
PARIS, Nov. 29. (Special.) A Nor
wegian, M. Olsen, and his wife, who ar
rived In Paris only a week ago, are now
at the hospital In a very serious condi
tion, and their only son, a boy 6 years
of ge, is dead, as the result of a mys
terious hotel tragedy.
M. Olsen. who is said to be a leather
merchant. 30 years of age, arrived here
from St. Petersburg on November 2 with
hit wile and coa and took two rooms at
the Hotel Windsor. As M. Olsen was
not able to speak French he asked for
the service of an Interpreter, who saw
him for the last time on Friday morning.
In the evening he called again but was
told bv M. Olsen, who spoke from his
room without opening the door, to come
bark the next morning.
Yesterday morning the interpreter
again failed to get admittance, and in
the evening the hotel servants suspected
that something must have happened.
One of the maids succeeded In entering
the rooms and was horrified to see the
beds stained with blood and both the
Norwegian and his wife with their heads
bandaged.
The police were Informed, and when
the Inspector entered he took him to the
room next his own and showed him hU
ton was dead. The father himself stated
that he had shot the boy dead during a
fit of Insanity; that he had also tried
to shoot his wife, and afterwards at
tempted to ooaunit suicide, .
The boy had apparently been dead two
days and the corpse was taken to the
morgue whilst the father and mother,
both of whom are wounded In the head
by revolver shots, were conveyed to a
hospital, and are kept under police surveillance.
