the play may best be described as a
contest between ambition on the one
hand and an absorbing love on the
other; a contrast as it were, between
the woman and the world. The heroine,
Roxana, is drawn as a woman whose
devotion an unassailable fidelity ulti-
mately wins the love of the greatest
hero of her time. Beside this element
of romance, large share of the plot

Older Men in the Army-wiI Have
Important Influence.

Washington, Dec 22-To some. OF
the senator's who have particularly in
terested themselves in the pending
Wood nomination with an eye espec-
tally to the protection of some veteran
officers of the army. the president has
expressed himself very plainly to the
effect that the officers have nothing to
fear in the immediate future. AS 1t
was pointed out to him there was con-
siderable apprehension among the
friends of these army officers lest upon
retirement of Chaffee with the rank Of
lieutenant general the president might
appoint Wood to be lieutenant general,
involving the jumping" of number
of distinguished general officers who
never would have chance to attain
highest rank by reason of Woods In
cumbency in the place for fifteen years,
the president has expressly declared
that he has no such intention. Incl
dentally that involved the undertaking
on his part to promote some of these
general officers referred to after
Chaffee's retirement. But he did state
that when he made such promotions as
he saw fit he would not close the list
by appointing General Wood to be
lieutenant general. The understanding
thus reached with the committee is ex-
pected to have an important influence
upon the action that will be had upon
the Wood nomination.

GAME At CRITICAL MOMENT
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne's Advice
Believed to Have Had Great Weight
With the Government at Toxic, Com
Ing as It Did When Reply Was
Formed.

Paris Dec. 2e.-The confirmation has
been obtained from official sources
today of the report that Foreign Secre-
tary Lansdowne and Foreign Minister
Delcssse have within the last few days
made strong representations at Toxic
with view of averting crisis be-
tween Russia and Japan. There Is
reason to believe these representations
coming at the critical moment when
Japan's reply was being handed to the
Russian minister exercised pawerfu
restraining infiunce. This is especially
true Of Lansdowne, owing to Great
Britain being an ally of Japan. The
terms OF the Japanese answer are not
known here, but, owing to action TAX
en- by Great Britain and France. Of
dcials here are confident he answer

negotiations.
