Is determined to punish nil the gulty par

was under orders not to lose sitfht of

THE ANGLO-AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
Mr. Gurdner Says It Would Make the Two
Countries Commercial Allies.
SARATOGA, August 31-The following
abstract of an address on "The Proposed
Anglo-American Alliance" was delivered
before the American Social Science asso
ciation at Its annual meeting at Saratoga
today y Charles A. Gardiner. A.M., Ph.
D., counsel for the elevated roods of New
York City.
'Mr. Gardiner spoke of the tendency to
national concentration in the rrcaent age,
declaring that already three nations. Rus
sia, Great Britain, and America, compris
ing two races of people, the Slavic and
Anglo-Saxon, practically dominate the

that ha for more than eight centuhe
J marked the policy of Russia, and ha
I spread her sovereignty over area in
Europe and A.Va too vast almoet for
human conception. Against this aggres
sion, be said. Great Britain has admitted
that she can, unaided toy som other
great power, make no successful opposi
tion.
Attention at the present moment, he
said, is directed to the Rusao-Britlth con
test for supremacy In China. At this crit
ical moment, he says, the powlbilKy of
an alliance with America, through, con
sideration of her interest In the Phil
ippines, Is seemingly Great Britain's only
hope of triumph. Said he:
"Shall America keep the Islands? This
question has become fundamental to the
consideration of an alliance. Without the
Philippines, the prejudices and environ
ment of the past might control discussion,
but with them an alliance becomes the
most Important problem of our new world
relations.
"It has taken us nearly a century to
push our domain across the continent and
along a thousand tnllea of the Pacific
coast by conquest, annexation and pur
chase, Wtthln a hundred years we have
expanded our territory westward over 3,

"It Is objected that the Islands are extra
territorial and non-contiguous; but Porto
Rico Is 1,000 miles from Florida; Hawaii
is J.OOO miles from San Franclaeo; the
nearest point of Alaska Is 500 miles and
Its farthest point 1,000 miles from Seattle;
