region in which the stone pies are reported
to have been found. not losing sight of the
fact that that section of the country was
held under lease by the Hudson Bay Fur
Company from 1910 until the cession to the
United States was made by Russia. They
do not believe the fur company would have
erected lines of demarca ton in Russia's in
terest, nor do they consider it probable
that a line was run by Russia after the
contamination of the Russo-British treaty
in 1925 and 1910, when the lease was made.
Indeed, they say that the records show
that no engineering work was done in the
region prior to 1882 Moreover, they con-
tend that no line could be accepted as au-
thoritatiye which had not been run jointly
by Great Britain and the United States or
between Great Britain and Russia.
They, therefore. hold that if piles of stone
which are said to have been found were
ever intended as boundary monuments. they
represent only the claims of individuals and
are, therefore, of little or no value. They
do not on this account concede any of
Great Britain,s claims, but merely urge
that the United States be compelled to
stand upon the terms of the treaty of 1926.

Journalism in Japan.

From the Westminster Gazette.
There is not a town of 10000 people which
does not possess at least one newspaper,
and the two or three cheap popular papers
in the capital have calculations running
from 100000 to 10000. This describes
journalism in Japan. which was the sub
ject of an interesting lecture Quickly de-
livered in English) given in the Japan So
cety's hall by Mr. NJ Zuomto, the japanese
editor of the only paper in Japan printed in
English the Japan Times. Apart from liza
bility under the libel law, the fullest free

is on the verge or at war, when the rea-

must not be published. Fiction fills the
most important place in editorial policy;
but fair proportion OF space is given up
to Geographic news, including cables from

AUTOMOBILES ABROAD
REPORTS ON MARKET CoNDI-
TONS THROUGHOUT EUROPE.
Consular Officers Say That There is
Good Opening for American
Manufacturers.

In the advance sheets of consular reports
issued today Is given a summary of re-
ports received from United States consular
officers in the principal foreign countries on
present market conditions in the automobile
trade.
Vice Consul Hogue at Vienna reports that
there were but $50 automobiles in Austria
two years ago, whereas now the number IS
1000. Most of the machines were pur-
chased abroad, the Austrian duty not being
sufficiently protective. Local prices range
from $1,000 to $4,000 for ordinary machines.
Mr.. Hogue says the love for sitting behind
a team of good horses is deeply rooted in
the popular mind. He says there is good
field for the motor bicycle by which Ameri-
can manufacturers might be benefited

Consul General Gowdy at Paris reports
that the motor industry in France is

orders for England alone are almost suf-

The Lion of Lucerne.

Geneva Correspondent of the London Chronicle.
A great deal of anxiety is felt in the
country through the discovery that one of
SwtZerand's chief historic monuments
the Lion of Lucerne-is threatened with
destruction. The Lion, which was chiseled
from the solid sandstone rock by the Swiss
artist Aborne in 1872, commentaries the
massacre of the Swiss guard during the
French revolution, and a work of art is
unique. 1t is situated in rather damp sur
roundings. above a pool in the glacier gar
den at Lucerne, and the water has trickled
through the sandstone, which threatens to
crumble, and thus destroy the statue. An
expert has been examining the rock and
by his advice it has been decided to cut
away the surrounding rock and isolate the
Lion.

said he, mockingly, over his shoulder.
Come and see your France!"
The audacity of John Law was a thing
without parallel, as had been proved a hun
dred times in his strange life and in hum
dred places. His sheer contemptuous dar-
ing brought Philippe of Orleans to his
senses. He relaxed now in his purpose,
changeab BILE as was his wont, and advanced
toward Law with hand outstretched.
There, there, Monsieur Las, I did you
wrong, perhaps" said he. But as to these
hasty words pray reconsider them at once.

Law, calmly. rs it not what you planned?

What do you mean?"
why, that the worst has happened. But.

it happened"
The gaze of the regent fell. His hand
trembled as he fumbled al his sword ht.

Generate, to be taken privately in the name

The livid face of the regent went paler
