Wilson Waits for People
To Decide Foreign Policy
Continued from pase 1
It feels helpless In the presence of a
situation which is perilous, becanse it
does not feel that it can depend upon
national support.
If one were to use a parallel in re?
cent history, the administration feels
itself in quite the position of the As
c.uith ministry In the days that pre?
ceded the outbreak of the great war.
Sir Edward Grey, Aaquith and Lloyd
Gcorjre were perfectly aware that if
war came England would have to enter
it. Hut ?h? Encash people, the Liberal
party, ?larticulariy its Radical fringes,
were totally opposed to war and used
quite the game language that the Mid?
dle West now use?, it was not until
Belgium was invadsd that pnblio opin?
ion mobilizsd about tho government.
Apathy Ties Admlnlstralinn'a Hands.
Now, the Wilson administration feels
Fiitis'ied that American public opinion
has riot mobilized. It sees tho Ger?
man facts (juite as plainly as tho As
quith government saw its facts, but it
sees its hands tied by the apathy or
worse of a great portion of the coun?
try. It feels that any delay, protrac?
tion of negotiations, exchange of futile
ietters, which will end by awakening
the publio to tha fact and enlisting it
in support of the vigorous national
policy, which it perceives neceesary,
will be time well spent.
This is "watchful waiting" In its lat?
est form, explained by its advocates.
This, one is to understand, explains
why the Administration always trios
the weak solution first. Such a trial,
In the Dumba case, resulted in a gen?
uine explosion of public opinion. The
country pretty generally indicated a
conviction thut Dumba should go, and
he went. If ever there was a case of
tho operation of tha recall of diplo?
mats, that is, the good old recall of the
Kansas variety, it was in this instance.
Now, in tho case of the Arabic, the
Administration knows what It thinks.
Its opinion was set forth in the com?
ments that supplied the basis for the
dispatches printed in The Tribune and
elsewhere from Washington this morn?
ing. It feels that the Bcrnstorff prom?
ise was an empty thing, "a scrap of
paper," but doea the country want it
to act on this conviction? Doea the
Middle West see here at last a justifi?
cation for a break with Germany? Or
does it want to arbitrate! What there
ia to arbitrate official Washington does
not know, but what does the country
feel?
Wilson Waiting for the People.
Above and beyond all else, if you
accept the administrative explanation,
the diplomacy of the United Slates is
being conducted by referendum, by ap?
peal to the people, by a campaign of
education, by whatever title you please
to apply to the method Just described.
The administration recognizes what
should be done, it submits tho case to
the people, it waits for the word of
the press, it acts, or, if the voice is
divided, it reverts to negotiationa. It
is waiting for the people, it hau been
waiting from the beginning.
Now, add to this a positivo assur?
ance, universally made, that the ad?
ministration has no intention of sacri?
ficing any essential point o? honor, and
there is suppli 1 a fair picture of
Wilson diplomacy as it describes It
seif, as it defends Itself, as it justifies
itself.
So much for the administration's
statement. Now, what do the critics,
the unfriendly observers, the men who
watch the progress of events day by
day at close hand say? Something like
this; primarily thai the Three Qiaeea
of Wilson diplomacy are named "De?
lay, Linger and Wait" -and the great?
est of these is "Wait."
It i? the belief of a rei-y respectable
number of the best informed of news?
paper correspondents and other ob?
servers here, that the administration
sent its first German note, the "strict
accountability" note, without the ,
i smallest thought that it was dis
i patching an ultimatum Bnd without
; the leant forethought of th? con?
sequences of iuch a note, that it made
no preparation and gave no thought
tu tno situation that would result if
Germany failed to accept the ultima
' turn promptly and wholly.
In the mindj of these men the Lusl
: tnnla episode came to Washington ns
' an unforeseen catastrophe ana found
! them destitute of all resource to meet
1 it. But immediately the political as
! m-ct began to exercise a dominant In
' fii'ence. Promptly Mr. Wilson was ad?
vised from many quarters of the coun
j try that the one important thing was
i to maintain peace, and that "ho kep'
the country out of war" would be an
I all sufficient watchword for the next
campaign.
Toil portion of Washington believes
that the question of domestic politics
has exertUed and is exercising a bane
! ful influence upon the conduct ot for?
eign affairs. This view was summed
np by one critic thui-: "It is difficult
1 to assume a posture of self-defence
when you are keeping one ear to the
ground. "
There Is an unmistakable tendency
discoverable here to credit the admin?
istration with an eagerness to find each
Cerman explanation satisfactory and
to make It as easy as possible for Ger?
many to continue to make explana?
tions.
The shadow of Bryan is thought by
many to rest heavy over Washington
still a shadow temporarily banished
by a counter offensive of Colonel
Roosevelt. Then? are the reefs be?
tween which the Wilson administra?
is credited with endeavoring to
steer Its course.
Here, as elsewhere, there is unmis?
takable bitterness In many quarters
among those who recall the more vig?
orous foreign policy of other adminis
! trations. "We are too proud to fight,
too big to hide, and so we shall hav?
! to go on playing the innocent by
; Stander" this it a typical comment.
Mexican (?hott Constant Visitor.
But, after all, it is the Mexican ghost
which ha.? been and remains most fatal
to the administration's hold upon the
j confidence of Washington In its Ger
, man negotiations. The indecision, hesi?
tation, rash advance and ignominious
retreat in this case return to shatter
faith at the most critical moment? In
tho present difficult;'. If there had been
no Mexico, no "watchful waiting,"
which continue to be waiting, there
would not be a tithe of the doubt and
?1.-trust that exists here to-day and is
; one of the most striking details in the
situation.
Official Washington, to balance the
, counter currents, insists that the ad?
ministration is waiting for the country,
1 but waiting with the determination to
sacrifice no essential point of national
honor In the meantime; that if has a
! policy and a purpose. Unofficial and
unfriendly Washington insist? that
peace at any price is the dominant Idea,
I that the political questions are ron
! trolling, that there is no policy but
, opportunism.
Last night, when the Dumba case was
fresh in mind, the strong policy that
i seemed ussured silenced the doubters.
I But to-night they are in full voice
jagHin; the development? of tho day are
1 accepted by thorn ?s one more evidence
! that the avoidance of war i? the main
! concern of the government and that
more notes, mor? opportunities for Ger
' many, are to be allowed. As to any real
i German content to live within the law,
| neither the friends nor the foe? of the
'. administration look for this.

_
Withdraw from Sereth to Stripa
?Russians Halt Foe on
Dvina.
London, Sept. 11. The Russian? are,
putting forth strong offensive? on the
wings of the long battle line on the
tnatera front and are making a stub?
born defensive in the centre, where
the Austro-Gorman*, although gaining
ground daily and coming clo??r to the
Vilna-Rovno railway, are meeting with
increasing opposition.
Each village, stream and road Is
proving th? scene of a ?anguinary en?
gagement. Skidel, a town immediately
east of Grodno, captured at last by the
Germans, wat the e?ntre of a battle
la?tlng several days with alternating
success. Tho Germans attacked the
town again and again, massing b?avy
artillery, and did not ?necead In over
! coming the Ruttiani until last night
Throughout the great marth dittrlct,
from this point tootheattward to Rov
; no, similar eontette ar? taking place.
The Auttro-Germans are trying by
i every mean? to force their way through
1 to the Vilna-Rovno railway before the
! heavy rain? ?et In and put an end to
' the fighting.
In the narrow strip of Galicia be
! tween the Sereth River and the Bess
\ arabian frontier th? Russians hav?
! been strongly reinforced and are ap
| parently well tupplied with guns and
ammunition. They report their third
victory here over the Auttro-Germtn
fore??, bringing their total of prisonert
during the week to 22,000, without men?
tioning the lost of men and gunt.
Auttriant Admit Setback.
Tho Austriant admit that they have
I tuffered a setback in thia region in the
! ttatement that they withdrew their
front on the Sereth to the haightt eaat
of the Stripa River "before superior
enemy .foreei "
On the northern end of the line
southeast of Riga the Russians are
' alto on the aggressive, with the result
that the German? have made no fur?
ther progresi against the Dvina River.
Some of the British military writers
believe that the Austro-German? have
reached the limit of their penetration
of Rugsia so far as this year it con
cerned and that they must now look
to the defence of their present lines.
It is reported that they are already
reconstructing the fortifications of
Kovno, which are threatened by the
Russian offensive northeast of Vilna.
The Russians estimate that the Aus?
tro-Germans have 2,600,000 men in
their front, with twcr.'.y-eight corps In
the Baltic and the Lithuanian region.
Included in this army are eleven Aus?
trian and nine German cavalry divi?
sions.

most strenuous terms. Nothing like il

wa? due, not ?o much to lack of confi?
dence in Mr. Archibald as it wa? con?
fidence in the British. I felt quit?
? 'ire he would fall into the hands ol
the British, and that anything he might
hav* on his person would be taken. 1
therefore ha?l to decline his offer. You
see, my judgment was correct."
