Office authority raised an Anglo-American war alarm at a conference of i American pressmen in London Cablegrams on the subject have amazed Washington. Although the papers refrain from editorial comment, inter- views with Mr. Colby and a number of Senators are published describing the report as incredible and preposterbus.
The truth is, Reuter is informed, that Sir Auckland Geddes during bis stay in London was approached by a number of American journalists desirous of interviewing him. Sir Auckland Geddes déclined but asked the American pressmen to meet him at the Foreign Office. Str Auckland Geddes, after impressing on them that his remarks were most confidential, referred to the difficulties occasioned by the overburdening of the cables preventing explanations of facts. He thought it very advisable that correspondents at present should avoid cabling matter calculated with- out full explanation to disturb Anglo-American relations. He said that owing to various canses there were at present" certain outstanding points between the two nations and nothing should be said or done which would tend to accentuate them. -
Th
IDEA OF HOSTILI MES RIDICULOUS.
It appears that a very exaggerated version of Sir Auckland Geddes remarks was cabled to Americs by representatives of certain American agencies totally distegarding the seal of confidence. The Associated Press |||which was represented at the gathering abstained from cabling any part of
the confidential statement.
LATER
With reference to the Anglo-American relations canard, Renter "is authoritatively informed that Anglo-American relations are most friendly. The British Government anticipates an early and satisfactory settlement of all outstanding questions with the United States. It is emphasized in high quarters that the idea of hostilities with America is too ridiculous to merit discussion. Never has the wish of Britain to settle points at issue bem so strong as to-day." This is believed to be also the view of American public opinion. The Foreign Office disclaimed all knowledge of the statement in the American press and expresses the conviction that any question arising between Britain and the United States can be settled without difficulty whether with the existing or succeeding administration.
OFFICIAL DENIAL

WASHINGTON, February ≥10. Acting on instructions from London Mr. Craigie, the British Charge d'Affaires, visited Mr. Colby and officially denied the Anglo-American canard.

Mr. Denman Fuller. will give his next organ recital in St. John's Cathedral on Monday next at 5.30 p.m. The programme will include: several pieces which have been frequently asked for on previous occasions and which it has not been possible to give earlie, owing to the making of extensive improve- ments which necessitated a great part of the organ being out-of use for some months. Amongst these will be the C sharp minor Rachmaninoff Prelude and Wider's Toccata in F. A. Nocturne of Lemare, the famous Recitalist will figure in the program- me; it is one of the least known but finest of his many compositions and has not been. played here before. During the Recital there will be an improvisation in order to display some of the numerous effects the addition of the new Toba (which will be used for the first time) and the pneumatic action with the extra Couplers has made possible. These last additions bring the Cathedral Organ into the front rank of instruments of a similar size and finally complete a scheme which was commenced by Mr. Denman · Fuller fourteen years ago,
