VARYING VIEWS
ON new TREATY
UNITED STATES DOES NOT OBJECT

POWERS RATHER STAND

STANDS FOR THE OPEN DOOR

YOKOHAMA, Feb. 12-The premier

today the signature OF the AngIo-Jap-
anese treaty, which is here regarded as
being practically an offensive ana de-
fensiva alliance.
WASHINGTON, Feb 12.-Mr. Takahira,
the Japanese minister to Washington, to-
day called at the state department and
notified Secretary Hay Of the signature of
the agreement betT, IN Great Britain and
Japan, made pub yesterday in Eng
land in binding the two nations to Joint
action In maintaining the integrity OF
China and Korea. The assent OF the
United States is not necessary to this
agreement, but il it were 1t probably
would not be withheld, for it is pointed
out that the treaty is precisely in line
WITH The aims of the state department, as
fully disclosed in the notes published by
it from time to time. In other words,
the United States is contending for the
open door, in Manchurta, and it rec
ognizes in this new treaty a valuable
support in its contention.
PEKIN, Feb. 12-The news of the
signing of the Anglo-Japanese treaty of
alliance became known to few diplomats
here today, and was an absolute surprise.
me treaty Is regarded as the most I'M
portant move made in far Eastern poll
ties OF recent years. 1t is not doubted
among the diplomats here that the new
alliance will effectuaIly veto the signing
of the Manchurian treaty.
LONDON, Feb. 13.-The continental
comment is almost wholly concerned
with the effect the treaty will have on
russian policy in Manchuria
Numerous questions will be asked in
parliament with a, view to getting fur
Their information on the subject
The basis of much of the objection
urged is to what is regarded as the pre-
mature publication of the treaty. The
Liberals think that everything desirable
might have been obtained by a simple
understanding, without a formal treaty,
and in any case that it was not wise to
make the agreement public.
One of the first effects expected in
many quarters will be the issue of a
Japanese loan in London
Baron Hayas, the japanese minister,
who signed the treaty in behalf of Japan
here, said in an interview that it is not
directed particularly against Russia, but
that Manchuria was within it's scope.
The treaty does not include any other
power, but it does not exclude the pos
sibility of a similar treaty between
Japan and Russia, of course with the
full knowledge Of Great Britain
The Japanese minister also said that
the treaty was aimed particularly at the
preservation of the open door which
we have always had and intend always
to maintain

PARIS, Feb 1.-THE view taken n
diplomatic circles here is that the Anglo
Japanese alliance, being purely defensive
is no wise a disquieting element in the
Eastern situation. The agreement, it is
claimed here, excludes Manchuria, and
Russia, therefore, is not menaced there

Oldest Ship Anoat.

II we except the Viking ship which
was dug up in Scandinavia few years
ago. what is probably the oldest ship in
the world has just been sold at Tene-
rife to be broken up. She is called the
Anita, and was built in 1913. Just forty
two years after the death of Columbus,
and seven years after the discovery of
the Mississippi river.
For over three centuries and half
the Anita. which belonged to the port of
Genoa. has been cruising about the Med
fterranean and out to the Western Is
lands. She made her last voyage to
Teneriffe last March. and has been laid
up there ever since. 1t being decided that
she should roam the seas no more
The Anita is built much after the
style OF the caravals of Columbus. and
Is OF about the tonnage OF the great dis
coverer's largest ship. the Santa Maria.
She was built In the most stout and
thorough manner, as may be imagined
from the fact that she has lasted all
these years. Some OF her timbers are
as sound today as when they we're first
put In her, but, as a whole. the Anita
has reached stage of decrepitude which
warrants her being retired from fur
ther active sea duty berth in some
naval museum, however. would have
been more fitting ending for her than
to be broken up for firewood. New

silver gray tie: tan shoes. white and
tan belt, fastened by snowy gold

a slip of white taffeta. A touch OF color
was given to the bodice by light blue
satin girdle. and an inch wide ribbon of
the same shade tied around the high
lace collar. with a small bow In the
back. Her hat was a picture affair OF
white straw ornamented with heavy
white ostrich plumes. Mrs. Belmont's
box was continually filled with visitors
who came to pay their respects to the

The Land Of Make-Believe.
BY R. NJ. E.

1t is we'll to wander sometimes in the
Land Of Make believe.
Through its smiling gardens, where
the heart may cease to grieve,
Where the beds are gay with roses and
the paths are paved with gold,
And our hopes, like soaring songsters,
their mercurial wings unfold.
Let us all be little children for while
and make our way
Through the sweet and sunny meadow
land Of Make-believe today.
There's a queen within an arbor, where
she rules in high rehown,
With lily for scepter and rose
wreath for a crown.
And her laws are love and laughter,
for they know not sorrow there
Never hate or pain or money enters in
her kingdom fair.
So we sing the songs the children sing
and play the games they play
AS we wander in the golden Land of
Make-believe today.

There seems to be a tendency among certain

An ldyI.
By WILLIAM RuTHvEN FLINT.

On the mountain.
In the meadow,
BY the river. deep and still:
By the crystal flowing fountain.
In the leafy bowers shadow
Where the ferns
And where the grasses,
In the streamlet's wandering turns,
Grow in tangled. knotted masses,
There | used to roam at will.
Thro' the rowan
Where the mowers
Swinging blades have cut the grass,
Sparing butter-cup nor gowan
In their haste and fear of showers;
Where in heaps
The fragrant clover's
Perfume sweet the cool air sleeps,
With my hand in my true lovers
There at eve love to pass.
On the hillside
Meath the maple,
In its cool. refreshing shade,
Softly resting by the hillside.
Looking down upon the steeple
White ard tall.
And on the river
Winding onward to the fall
Where the ripples break and shiver.
There at last may I be laid.

Lies far upon the outwor1 verge of time,
When MY hand, searching, RAY no longer find you
In any cline,
If but dream your step By hill or hollow
Has left its echo falling the wind,
will arise and grid myself and follow
Though be blind
Or if clear sighted, shall but discover
That, in the dew at dawn, your footprints lie
Where, through long fields the whstng Of the plover
Comes like a sigh,
And should they lead down to Deaths black river
And by the rocks 1 hear the whirlpoos spin,
Though heart and soul shall quail and body quiver
will wade in
Heart! beyond the tumul of the crossing
If there should be any trace,
Only strange winds on leagues Of grasses tossing
And the wide space,
Only Eternity with worlds to wander,
A soul among the unknown souls of men,.
And my heart, clue, footprint yonder. .s.s
