A despatch from Washington says: Arthur Janes Balfour, British For- eign Secretary, stated on Wednesday that the allied Governments, complete- ly convinced ompletelyconvinced of America's whole -heart- ed consecration towards the common end of destroying Prussian militarism, would not think of asking the United States to depart from its traditional policies or enter into any formal alli- ance which might prove embarrassing. "Our confidence in the alliance and the assurances of this Government," Mr. Balfour said, "is not based on such shallow coonsiderzotions as arise. from treaties. No treaty could increase our unbounded confidence that the United States, having conic into the war, will see it, through to the great end we all' hope for." Mr. Balfour, after his first two days here, consented to an interview to ex- press his deep gratitude for the warmth of his reception and his con- viction that America's services in the war could not be exaggerated. Stand- ing, in. the midst of a „semi -circle of ' correspondents, Mr. Balfour spoke with the deepest feeling of the losses already experienced ill France and England, and of the gratitude felt in both countries at the decision of the United States to enter the war.
