Toxic, Nov. 12.-Premier Katsura yester-

existing situation, which he declares was
most critical.
There is a strong inclination in well in

peace will only be made possible by Rus

CAN'T SAVE ITSELF NOW
Colombia Is Too Late in Ofeding Canal
Concessions

Colombia Is Too Late in Ofedina Canal
Concessions.
Washington, Nov. 13.-It is stated
here on authority that it is too late
for Colombia to make any effort to
resurrect the canal treaty with the
United States, n beyond preventing
2 hostile clash between Colombia and
the new republic of Panama, the pro-
posed visit of General Reyes to Pan
anna will be without results.
The same authority points out hat
the United States government having
recognized Panama as an independent
state cannot now proceed to negotiate
with Colombia on any terms for canal
rights in a state over which Colombia
exercises no political control, so any
future canal negotiations will be be-
tween the United States government
and Panama.
The German Attitude.
Mr.. Tower, our ambassador at Berlin,
has cabled the state department he has
been requested by Baron R~ichthoffen,
German foreign secretary, to inform
Washington that the report that Ger
many Intended to become involved in
the situation is entirely without foun-
dation and that nothing is known in
Berlin of the intention Of Colombia to
appeal to the empero for assistance.
Mr.. Tower adds that he is further as
sured by the foreign secretary in the
most earnest and sincere name that
any question of Germans interfering
in Panama simply did not exist. The
action of the Berlin government is
thoroughly appreciated by the Wash
ington government, for although it
merely confirmed What the state de-
partment already knew, the moral eff
feet of re%iterating at this time will not
be lost OF other powers.

turn on her way sadder than be-
fore; and far as she wandered in
town and village, in the crowded
! thoroughfare, on lonely wayside,
Rhe found not the house into which
death had never entered; then
gradually as she went on, the
meaning of the Buddha's words
dawned upon her mind; gradually
as she learned to know the great
sorrow of the world about her, her
heart went out in great yearning
sympathy to the companions of her
sorrow; the tears of her pity fell
free and fast, and the passion of
her grief was merged into COM
passion. She had learned the
mighty lesson Of renunciation, had
learned to sink self into the unset
fish. Friendship glorifies human
ity. 1t goes forth to meet the
wants and necessities of the sor-
row-stricken and oppressed. Where
ever there Is cruelty or ignorance,
or misery, it stretches forth its
hand to console and relieve.
The greater our friendships are
the nearer we are to the Divine.
AS the English poet has SO beauti-
fully told in verse of the spirit
which brings the highest reward
in life.
"Abou Ben Adam [may his tribe increased
Awoke one night from sweet dream OF
peace,
And saw within the moonlight OF hisroom,
Making It rich and like u lily in bloom,
An angel writing in book OF gold.
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adam
bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
What wantest thou?' the vision raised
its head
And with look made of all sweet accord
Answered, The names OF those who love
the Lord
Replied the angel. Abou spake more low,
But cheerily still, and said; 'Ipray thee
then
Write me as one who loves his feiiowmen.'
The angel wrote and vanished and the
next night
1t came again with great wax kening light,
And showed the names OF those whom
God had blessed,
And loi Ben Adams name led all the
rest"
Song and story speak countless
examples to us Of the power of
friendship. Down along the re-
cord Of centuries and up again
along the scale of modern civiliza-
tion, the sway Of unselfish personal
fellowship is proof OF the truth
that there is good in human ma
ture, and that human nature is at
it's best when directed in the bonds
OF brotherhood. Such brother

To use the beautiful allegory of
Mohamet: When God created the
earth it shook and trembled until
he put the mountains on it to make
it firm. Then the angel asked,
"Oh, God, is there anything Of
Thy creation stronger than the
mountains?" ard God replied,
"Iron is stronger for it can break

"Yes, winds, for they overcome

pressive and beautiful services

Lodge of Sorrow, however, is mis-
leading. We are not gathered here
