Originator of "Landladies' Trust
Declares That Regulars" VIII
Be Protected When Expect
ed Increase Takes Place.

The dove of peace lutters o'er the board
ing-house district. and 1t is now almost
certain that there will be no war.
General o. ". Moore. commanding the
forces of the boarGers. and General Ida
NJ. Clark. head Of the ''landladies' trust
are resting on their arms. so to speak.
With hostil.t;es imminent for few days
last week, General Moore kept his head
quarters in one of General" Clark's houses
ct No. 1908 Locust street, and the COM
manders of the two armies had confer
ences daily over the coffee pot and morn
ing oatmeal dish. with the result that
peace has about been declared.
However. the Moore forces are taking no
chances. and at meeting last night
partial report was made by committee Of
"Lieutenants" on the situation.
General Clark says that she wants no
war and has never wanted one with the
regulars under Moo-e's command.
Il was misrepresented." she said last
night. Il had no idea OF forming a board
ing-houSe trust. My sole object was to
have an understanding with other women
who are conducting boarding-ilouses as to
the advisability Of increasing the rates to
transients. Ny idea did not include the
regular boarders at all.
But in some way they got it into their
heads that We were going to form trust
and compel them to pay big prices for
board. With potatoes at sl.o5 a bushel
wholesale. and eggs at % cents dozen by
the case. 1t was necessary for us to do
something to even up matters. That vas
the only object. and 1 am convinced now
that we will agree on March to raise the
rates for transients, but not for the reg
ular boarders."

GERMANY'S MUCH-MIXED
FEELINGS TO RESULT IN
A SEVERE NEUTRALITY.

Berlin, Feb. S.-The German Governmen.

The popular German feeling is divided
between a certain admiration for the little
people OF japan and the necessarily great
er community of interest In international
POLITICS and trade with big neighbor.
Germany's neutral attitude is compIi-
cation of vague territorial hopes in China,
long-standing Intolerance of Japan's am
bitions, dislike of Russia and a desire TO
separate Russia from France by winning
Russia.s good Will.
The Russian Embassy. in statement
given to the National Zeitung, says war
probably cannot be avoided. and that
mediation by other Powers is wholly Que

American colleges and universities. After
three years study they try to vie with the

sidered capable of doing original work. he
said.
Loose operation Of works. whereby Is
per cent of loss occurs. was shown by
Doctor Frerichs to be one of the reasons
for the backwardness of certain chemicali
industries In America, and these works are
without chemists for the most part. be-
cause they cannot secure men skilled in

Such conditions allow Germany TO retain
her supremacy. Doctor Frerichs said. In
