United States for the. settlement of the
Chinese crisis, is urged in lengthy ar
ticle in the Nova Oremya. This journal
points out that just as the Franco Rus
sian alliance neutralized the warlike
menace of the triple alliance, SO would a
Impeachment between the northern
empire and the United States consolidate
the peace Of eastern Asia 1t adds:
Gas in the case of Franco Russian alli-
ance our rapproachment with the United
States has if fact been long prepared by
the mutual and long standing sympathies
between the two nations, and it remains
for diplomacy to give shape and form to
these sympathies.
The Nova Nremya points out that the
attitude taken by the United States in
Chinese questions meets with the fullest
approval of Russia. Neither country
seeks vengence, but desires substantial
and lasting paci6cation of China and the
far east.
"Both nations the journal says, "are
sufferers by the competition of Chinese
cheap labor, but do not seek retaliatory
measures. Russia in the old world and
the United States in the new world are
by the force of circumstances the first to
enter into the historic struggle with the
yellow race, but, just as in America, we
look upon this trouble not so much as a
rivalry between races as rivalry be-
tween civilization and the yellow danger
In short, it affects Russians and Ameri-
cans most, and this naturally creates like
interests in the same question and impels
them to view events in eastern Asia from
the same matter of fact, historical and
humanitarian standpoint"

Yet Col. William Ray, Bank Presi-
lent, Was One of the Shrcwdest of
Financiers.
There died in Louisville, Ky. , a fey
days ago. a banker and financier who
was a wonder to the New York money
makers, by whom he vas we'll known
and liked. The man was Col. William
Ray. president OF the Citizens Nation
al Bank Of Louisville, who could neith-
er read nor write, and who did not even
know figures. In spite of all this. Col
Ray accumulated a great frotune. and
was considered one Of the shrewdest
financiers' IN the South and Middle
West. His head was an account book.
He knew just what depositors In bank
had and each depositor's balance. He
knew the net and gross earnings OF
every railroad in the country, and the
dividends 1t declared or the losses 1t
had. suffered. He had prices at his
tongues end, and his knowledge was
SO thorough and his memory so per-
feet that he never was known to make
a mistake.
Col. Ray could not sign his W
checks, preferring always to make q
peculiar mark under his signature. He
spent much of. his time in New York.
He was intimate with such financial
giants as j. P. Morgan, and to them
he was a study. He was eve III
school as much as one day, his know
ledge Of English having been obtained
from towboatmen and ro~ustabouts
along the Ohio river, with whom he
spent his boyhood and early manhood.
1t can be imagined that his grammar
was crude.
1t was told that at a meeting OF rail-
road magnates in Philadelphia, some
years Ago., Mr.. Cassatt, nov president
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
asked some question of Col. Ray about
some bonds he was supposed to own.~
II h'ain't got none," the colonel re-
piled.

asked.

Russia's. Tea Trade
Interrupted BY the Chinese War

Not. the least serious effect Of the
present trouble in China has been the
interruption to the tea trade. Russia
has for many years done a large trade
with the Chinese in this particular i'm
port. Two hundred and sixty years
ago, during the reign of Car Michail
F~eodarevitch, a Russian envoy, Pas
sill Starkof, was sent to the khan
Of Mongolia, Allyn khan, the Golden
Khan" as he was called, on a friendly
mission, says a Moscow writer in the
Chicago Daily News.
Starkoff's mission returned in au-
,tumn, and the cars curiosity was at
once aroused by the account he re-
ceived OF the new beverage "tachai,"
a 1t was called. He ordered it to be
prepared at once and was charmed
with Its odor and flavor. But though
the new drink found favor at court the
people could not be persuaded to adopt
1t. They believed that it would slowly
poison them, OF, at least, deprive them
Of their wits--no difficult matter, said
q. wicked swede when he heard the
story.
The Russian authorities, however,
were determined that their subjects
should drink the new beverage and i'm
bibe less vodka, but even then q whole
century elapsed before the population
Of Russia vas induced to use the
strange Chinese drink.
By degrees the peasants began to
get interested In the Chinese herb;''
until at last it became the most popu-
lar beverage in the country. Vodka
still holds, it is true, its ancient reign,
but it is no longer solitary in its grip
ON the people. Tea fights hard for the
throne of their affections and has done
more to foster sobriety than almost
any other agency.
A hundred and fifty years ago Rus
sia entered into trade relations with
China. Among all the treaties made
the importation Of tea was specially
mentioned. When the Russian ENJOYS
reached the Chinese court they were
politely requested to kneel before the
emperor, but the proud orthodox boy
ards refused to humiliate themselves
before any e heather.

This dignined conduct was produc,

This dignined conduct was produc-
tive Of q most undigni6ed retreat. The
boyards had to put their pride in their
capacious pockets. which seems to
have been made for holding that un-
bounded element. They fed out Of
Pekin and returned to the banks OF
the Neva with doleful countenancez
and empty wallets. It is needless to
say that all treaties were broken OF
between the tea-Droducers and the
drinkers Of that beverage.
In 1926, however, the Russian czar
determined to attempt to patch up the
breach. To this end he sent his envoy
Golovin with a compact body Of 500
Streltzis famed for their marksman-
ship. Along with the envoy were also
1,400 officers and a large retinue Of
servants.
The cars program, with which he
intrusted his clever representative.
was rather ambitious. He desired him
to ratify a trade treaty with China; to
establish q permanent mission at Can
ton; to propose q permanent legation
at the court Of Pekin; to establish 9
trade with India by way Of. Tibet
and to secure a free entrance for Rus
sian merchants into China.
Colovin succeeded in nearly all these
objects and after his mission was over
tea became quite common once more
in Russia. Peter II. extended and am.
plified this treaty and the Russian
import Of tea increased yearly.
When China again SINNERS down

and China will do a bigger trade than
