or the condition OF affairs in regard to
the board of arbitration question, re-
tu:red to Scheveningen yesterday from
Berlin. 1t is said, however. that owing
to the absence OF the emperor DIR. Zorn
was only able to consult with the off,
Gals of the German foreign office.
DR.. Zorn is discreetly reticent regard
ing his mission. 1t is understood that he
obtained the impression at Berlin that
all hope need not be abandoned of eff
fecting an understanding regarding the
organization of an arbitration board By
matchmaking the various schemes. 1t
is expected that Emperor Willim will
reach a decision this week. Matters
therefore remain unchanged. and the
drafting committee will not meet until
the kaiser's decision is known.
The general desire of the conference
favors an established arbitration tri-
burial, recourse to which shall be option
81. 1t is believed that if Germany de-
clines to participate the other powers
will still achieve some such result be-
fore separating. They may decide upon
a craft of a scheme pending Germany's
decision
The Berliner Tageblatt says it under
stands that the government, from politi-
cal motives. desires some positive result
at the peace conference if there can be
an absolute guarantee that the scheme

Thank God, we're back at last! I've
been praying all the way down that
We might reach home in safety" Such
was the pious exclamation re-echoed in
the hearts of many of US as we again
felt good, old, solid Mother Earth under
foot after a multi emotioned" picnic
up the river.
Why is it Mr. Hoodoo always man
ages to be in evidence at a Sunday
school picnic? Shouldn't think the at
nfosphere would be congenial. Suppose
the 18th Of the month had something to
do with it, and that that is his favorite
day for an airing.
Just think-a river excursion, a rick
ETY. barge, the 18th, and in the month
of Mayl What a combination of gloomy
forebodings might have confronted US,
and warned US, had we only thought.
But we didn't think, unfortunately, or
We might have avoided being run up
into mud bank just south Of nowhere
and being asked to please stop breath
ing for minute as we cautiously, one
by one, disem barked from an over
loaded barge before 1t reached the sink
ing line. The day was divine; the river
with its verdant shores pleasant to look
upon; the people delightful; but no
more barges for us-it's tempting
Providence.
One little tot had her first Sunday
school lesson on this self same picnic
barge. The unsteady inclined had just
finished singing, THE Beautiful River.
What's the Boo'ful Riber?" asked the
brown-eyed darling. We'll, it's not the
Chicago River, and--it's not this an
swered the spiritual adviser. Whereby
note a difference of opinion. After the
return from the picnic grounds Mr.
Pond took some of the young people
farther down in the launch, returning
an hour or so later
On the same day, in corner of the
same grounds, was encamped a private
but at the same time rather extensive
picnic party. It proved to be Professor
Atkinson and his college students out
for recess. AS we approached the
group looked very attractive, with its
pretty May Queen on an inprovised
raised throne, surrounded by her faith
full subjects, some at her feet in pic
turesque attitude, others lazily loung-
ing in hammocks swung lightly from
gnarled limbs, and all looking thor
oIghly and supremacy blissful. They
left US after a time to follow their
Queen on more distant voyage of dis
covery, leaving in our case the Pro
fessor, who had been trified with by a
tickle hammock that had been swung
all too lightly.
