Military Expert Believe That America
Will Lead in Far East.
Berlin, March 11. William .Grueno,
editor of Die Grenxboten, of Lelpsic,
In analyzing the play of International
Interests In the far east ay the late
Field Marshal von Waldersee, after
his return from China, often talked
with hi cloae friend oh the certainty
fhat the trailed State "would' ha v
leading role there.' Hi solicitude for
the future interest of Germany was
alno connected with the United States'
position in far eastern affairs.
Herr Grueno does not say where Von
Waldersee's utterance leave off and
the editor's begin, but the article con
tinues: -
"The United States' attitude towards
Japan is understandable because of
her commercial relations with Japan
and In Manchuria, and by reason of
her aspiration to the hegemony of the
Pacific. If the United States should
maintain her claims to predominance
In the Pacific, she must reckon with
Japan, either as a friend or an enemy.
For the moment the United States' in
terests require friendly relation with
Japan, taking into consideration the
limited American navy and the British
Japanese alliance. For the time this
allowance will check American hege
mony on the Asiatic side of the Pa
cific." .
The editor regard an American-British-Japanese
alliance as a possi
bility. - -
countrymen In Manchuria, not only In
the interior, but In place on the sea
board, whence the Russians refuse to
permit them to depart ';
, It baa been decided with the help of
British millenaries to establish a hos
pital at New Chwang and organize re
lief work In the Interior. The chief
difficulty in connection with the latter
plan I the absence of transport facil
ities for the women and children. The
committee hope to obtain the co-op- j
eration and support of the Russian au
thoritles.
