WHITE WAS THE DOVE

London Paper Calls Him the “Peaceful Picket” of the Algeciras Conference. . London, March 29. —In an editorial on the satisfactory outcome of the Algeciras conference The Dally Telegraph today comments upon the almost passionate desire for peace which has been revealed as the prevailing sentiment at all the European courts and chancellories, and also upon the significant fact that, though France and Germany have bad a sharp diplomatic conflict, they never have shown any disposition to deliberately pick a quarrel. “Perhaps, however,” the article says, “the most significant, though least obtrusive phenomen is the part of peacemaker played by the American representative. Mr. White has been the ‘peaceful picket’ of the conference. Europe is indebted to him.” The Dally Telegraph also comments upon the fact that the United States thus found circumstances too strong for “doctrines” and was compelled to concern herself with European affairs.
