HOW YS CAN TELL 'EM.

When you hear person tellin' how
the world has gone awry,
An relatin' all the trouble we'll en-
counter by and by.
When you hear him prophesyin' moth
in else but doubt an gloom
How the sun will soon @et the ague an
the tlow'rs forget to bloom,
If you've any miud fur guessin', you
kin allus hit it right
His luck has gone agin him. He's the
man that lost the fight.
An when you meet another, steppin'
high an loOkin' proud,
A-shahin' hands so CHEEKY an a-smilin'
on the crowd,
An tellin' folks to brace up; that the
troubles they go through
Is all imagination: things that vanish
like the dew;
Who says this earth's all right, no mat
ter what is said or done,
You kin recognize him easy. He's the
lucky chap that won.

Germany, United States, Great Brit
min and JapRn-Cassinrs Statement.
Washington, Nov. S.-The state de-
partment has achieved another triumph
Germany's agreement to the United
States demand for written assurance
of the maintenance of the open door i'll
China was received yesterday at the
state department and was Simultaneous
ly given out in Berlin as an authorized
statement from the foreign office.
The agreement reduced to written form
is expected from Berlin within two
weeks.
Nothing has been heard from Russia
and France on this subject, and Il com
pliance with the request Of the United
States Is not expected from these two
countries.
Germany's action undoubtedly results
from the secret understanding and alli-
ance she has with Great Britain, an un-
derstanding established not more than
three weeks ago and involving the dispo-
siton Of Samoa and the Gilbert and Solo
mon islands. This development neces-
sarily eliminates Germany from the pro-
gramme formulated by Russia and
France of either interv aning in South
where" or both.
The situation, therefore, resolves itself
into combination of the United States,
Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Korea
and China-all pledged to prevent the
closure of ports and the change OF the
political map of China for the present
The Oregon, which sailed from Hong
kong during the night, is apparently
bound for Wei-Hai-Wei. although the
navigation bureau refuses to admit that
port to be her destination. A demon
stration at Wei -Ha-Wei by Great Brit
ain, the United States and Japan will be
an earnest of determination to oppose
the concluded Franco Russian combna-
tion's intention in the matter of "open
door" in China.
Count Cassini, Russian ambassador,
has given out an authorized interview,
which was read with much interest at
the state department and in other diplo-
matte circles. 1t is significant that in
this interview Count Cassini does not
deny Russia intention OF moving against
Newchwang. The ambassador appar-
emily justifes his statement Of Russia's
pacific intentions by celebrating the fact
that Talien Wan is open to the trade of
nations and that Russia believed in the
open door policy.

our general was a capital shot. He
