WON'T OPPOSE RUSSIA
GERMANY Is IN FAVOR OF THE
'OPEN DOOR" PRINCIPLE,
But VIII Do Nothing in n Final In
stance to Prevent n Gar from
Getting What He Wants.

BERLIN, March 27.-The Associated
Press has high authority for saying that
the government of the United States has
been sounding Germany as TO how far the
latter country would go toward maintain
ing the open door" in China. This in
quiry, which was initiated prior to the trip
of Prince Henry TO the United States, was
not made with the object of eliciting we'll
phrased writings on the subject. nor ZEN
eral assurances, nor even so-called guar
antees, as the administration at Washing
ton, according TO Information here, thinks
there has been quite enough of such diplo-
matte interchanges. But the purpose of
this inquiry was TO learn, for the guidance
of Washington. whether Germany, in any
event, would take a resolute stand for
equal trade opportunities. This inquiry re-
suited in obtaining from the very head of
the German empire the impression that
Germany, while willing 10 take an identical
attitude with the other powers for the
open door," would not. in a final instance,
oppose something that Russia really de-
sired. This is the first principle of Ger
many's exterior policy, and ii applies July
to the east Asian question.

BOWLING CONGRESS.
Committee Meetings viii Be Held To
Arrange Plans.

A slight misunderstanding prevailed last
night regarding the time for the meeting
Of the executive committee of the Ma
tional Bowling Congress. 1t was first an
nounced that the committee would meet
with Mayor Bookwalter, who is president
of the congress, in his office on Saturday
afternoon, but later it was given out that
the meeting would be held Sunday after
noon. and on Sunday evening the execu-
tive committee will meet with local bowlers
at the German House. The latter an
nouncement seems TO be correct.

that two concerns manufacturing bowling

ceive a large number of entries the com

Missionaries were distinctly informed by
the Lord Jesus as TO their sufferings and
their risks, and when they go TO foreign
