EUROPE INTERVENING
To Prevent Possibility of War Be.
tween Colombia and the
United States.
COLOMBIA Is TOLD TO CRAWL"
That She Can Get Neither Help Nor
Sympathy from the Old World,
Which Wants That Canal.

Washington, Dec %. = Diplomatic
Colombia by several European powers
to prevent war between that country
and the United States. The first step
in this direction already has been taken
by several foreign powers through
their representatives here. who have
informed General Rafael Reyes of the
futility of any attempt by Colombia
to retake Panama. declaring that it
will result only in precipitating the
Bogota government into war with the
United States. and have said TO him
that the result of such catastrophe
Colombia herself must realize.
No Sympathy from Europe.
If this IS not sufficient the repre-
sentatives of these countries at Boeota
will be instructed to inform President
Marroquin that Colombia can expect
no sympathy from the European pow
ers in any move she may make on
Panama. whicL would inevitably in
volve her in war with the United
States The members of the diplomat
ic corps have been informed by Gen.
eral Reyes himself that he fears he
can with difficulty check his people
much longer.
Wat Gen. Reyes Is Fearing.
General Reyes is not talking fer pub
1ica lion. but to. several European am
bassadOrs he has confided his fears
with frankness, and has said that he
is doing everything in his power TO
prevent an outbreak before the conclu-
sion of his mission but that although
his influence with the army is tonsid-
cradle he is so far away that it is diff
ficult for him to make this felt as
strongly as II he were on the ground
and in command. Diplomats whom
General Reyes has approached on the
subject say that what he most fears is
the result Of the announcement at Bo-
gotta of the failure of his mission.
No Reference to The Hague.
Realization of the true situation, it
is said, will not prevent General Reyes
from calling on the United States for a

the questions at ISSUE IT is on THIS
point that European diplomats have
told General Reyes that it is expecting
too much to expect this government to
submit any phase of the Panama mat
ter to The Hague. Several ambassa-
doris have earnestly advised the gener-
al to impress on his people the fact
that Europe wants the isthmian canal,
and that Colombia can expect no SYM
pathy from that quarter.
Colombians on the Isle of Pines.
1t is said here TO be unlikely that
our naval commanders in isthmian wat
ers will go to the extent of dislodg-
ing the Colombian troops which have
landed on the Island of Pines. On this
point. however. the police of the gov
ernment has not been definitely de-
cided. A dispatch from Colon says
the ColombiaDs have landed leo men
on that island, which is claimed as
part of Panama.

Lafayette, Ind, Dec. %. Mrs.
Kineff Janohica, known through this

For more than a quarter of a century
Mrs. Janohica had lived alone In the
wilderness on the west side of the
Wabash river. Few there were who
ever had a glimpse at the interior Of
her cabin. She visited nobody and
she desired no visitors. She regard
ed all comers as intruders. Her maiden
name was Sternberg, and she was born
In Huff, a small village in Holland.
June 6, 1916.
Worked on Farms a Hand.
When she was 10 years old Mrs.
Janohica was put to work on a farm.
She continued to do chores until reach
ing the age of II. when she was made
full-fedged farm hand. She con-
tinued in this capacity until the age
of 21, shortly after which she was mar
ried to a poor peasant named Kineff
JanOhica After the death of her hus-
band, Mrs. JanOhica continued to work
on different farms until 1850. when
she and her brother emigrated to
America.

In the year 1857. Mrs. Janohica
moved TO Lafayette. bringing with her
q daughter, at that time IS years old.
ment on farm west of Lafayette and
then moved to the city. where the
daughter died in a short time. This
was the great sorrow that severed the
mothers heart strings, and led her to
adopt hermits life.
Then She Became Recluse.
She went into a thicket known as
Happy Hollow" and took up her abode
In deserted hut, that had formerly
been used as quarters for wood chop
perS. She resided there alone for near
ly four years, and nobody ever knew
how she lived. One night the hut was
destroyed by fire and the old woman
was found, wandering through the
ravines of the hollow. The women Of
the Holland Reformed church became
interested and endeavored to persuade
her to give up the wild life of the
forests and return to the city, but she
stoutly refused, whereupon they
builded her another cabin little far
ther up the ravine.
Friends Take Care of Her.
About year ago Mrs. Janohica be-
came so feeble that her friends insist
ed upon her returning to the city. and
she was cared for in their homes. At
last her mind failed and she was re-
moved to the county infirmary.

by the way, we venture the asser-

grounds for criticising the county

had Brother Scott 70 criticise the
