Gods sun ever shone upon; the pic
ture OF nation where the spirit of
the Pilgrim and Huguenot remains
the living and controlling force, affirm
ing that the Declaration OF Indepen-
dence and the Farewell Address OF the
Father OF his Country, shall never pass
into innocuous desuetude; devoting
its energies to the development OF the
inexharstible resources of its great
continental territory; solving the pro-
blem of universal, personal ard politi-
cal liberty. OF q government by the
consent OF the governed, where no
king, no class and no race rules, but
each individual has equal voice and
power in the control of all, where
wealth comes only as the compensa-
ton for honest toll of hand and brain,
where public service is private duty:
and nation whose supreme value to
the world lies not in its power, but in
its uHfailiAg loyalty to the high ideals
of its youth, its forever lifting its
strong hand, not to govern, but only
to protect the weak; and thus the
bright shining which brightens more
and more into the fadeless eternal day.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Aug. B-All danger of
war between the United States and China
appears TO have been averted by the un-
qualified success of the prompt and vigor-
Gus advance of the allies. which followed
fast upon the arrival OF General Chaffee
upon the scene of action. A dispatch has
been forwarded by the State Department
10 both Minister Conger and General
Chaffee instructing them that the United
States forces I'm China are not to be used
to further any project to extend hostile
military operations. but are to be confined
70 the work of rescuing the ministers, pro-
tecting foreigners and restoring peace and
order In the government. No attempt to
oismember the empire will be countenanced
The dispatch further announced that the
United States maintained and would exer-
else its right to a voice as to China's future
and to act as a temporary guardian. At
the same time 1t is recognized that our
course must OF necessity be guided largely
by the course pursued by the Chinese gov
eminent and army.
II is understood that General Ii Ping
Hong. with numerous force, is strongly
intrenched in one quarter of the city with
a considerable number Of modern guns,
and that the forbidden city. a walled palace
within the Tartar city, and in which the
imperial palaces are located, is held by
5000 well armed imperial troops OF course
these forces must be captured or dispersed
before Peking can be said to be in the
hands of the allies.
Thus it is now, as 1t has been from the
beginning. that the alternative OF order or
renewed fighting, of peace or war. rests
wholly with the Chinese themselves so far
at least as this country is concerned. OF
course the rest of the allies could continue
the conflict. even though the United States
should withdraw. and equally. of course,
any one of them or Germany, whose min
lister was murdered. could declare and wage
war against China on it's own account, re-
gardless OF the action or nonaction of the
other powers. but in such event, when the
time came for final settlement, all the
European powers. the United States and
Japan would have a say as to China
future.

PRIZES ARE AWARDED.


PARIS, Aug. 1S.-The ceremony of off,
cially announcing the awards made to the
exhibitors at the Paris exposition took
place this afternoon. 1t was not less mag
nifcent in it's pomp than the ceremony at
tending the formal opening of the exposi-
ton. The announcement of the awards oc-
CURED in the Sale de Fetes. This hall,
which itself is one of the most beautiful
exhibits. was extravagantly decorated.
though following the same general orna-
mentation as on the opening day. Fully
5000 persons attended the exercises, which
began at 8 o'clock. President Loubet, who
was escorted by the Cabinet ministers. pre-
sided, and all official Paris, including the
diplomatic corps and the foreign commits
sioners. was present. A feature which gave
additional animation to the spectacle was
the entry of each commission and it's staff,
including the uniformed guards bearing the
flag of their respective countries.
President Loubet. after the ''Marseillaise"
had been rendered by an immense orches-
ira, opened the ceremonies with short ad-
dress in which he thanked all the par
ticipants for the aid they had given in
making the exposition a success. He also
expressed regret at the fact that the clos
ing, and. added: But there is consola-
ton in the belief that the spirit of this
ephemeral work will survive and that the
exposition has served to establish between
the governments and the people relations
and bonds more durable than heretofore.
Strangers will appreciate henceforth that
France is country of peace and industry
The President then placed in the hands of
the presidents Of the various juries the list
of awards. The minister of commerce. NJ.
Millerand. also made speech. The ex-
ercises. which were interspersed with
music, concluded at 5 p. m.
While President Loubet was on his way
| to the ceremonies to-day, a drunken waiter,
named Jacques Mara, broke through the
| line of curiassiers surrounding the presi-
Dental carriage, and approached its door.
There was moment of intense excitement,
but the man only threw an envelope into
| the vehicle. 1t contained a picture of his
niece. The mans action was simply the
result of a drink-deranged mind.

Peck. was the author OF an international
courtesy. which is highly appreciated. He
there. after brief formality presented
| TO NJ. Delcasse. the minister of foreign
| affairs. a souvenir commemorative OF the
accord between the two nations and a
token OF gratitude for the attitude of the
Foreign Office toward the commission. The
national pavilion is now utilized for con-
certs. given three days each week. for
