THE GENEVA FAILURE. CURE FOR CANCER.
MRAKELLOGG'S VIEWS:
New York, August 5. A hope that the effort for naval limitation will be resumed at an early date, is indicated in a formal statement oy Mr. Kellogg, "I do not consider the failure to make an agreement, final. I am confid ont that the work at Geneva will make it possible that the views exchanged will lead to an early conclusion of an agreement for the fimitation of auxiliary vessels. I am certain that the present failure will not impair Anglo-American relations." Reuter's American Service.
