readily on the suggestion of tie United
States if similar promise could be
obtained from Russia"
Italy, Austro-Hungary and the Meth
erIands expressed sympathy with the
idea and promised an answer after
consultation with other powers. There
is reason to believe that Spain and
Belgium also will accept the invita-
ton. Russia thus far has been silent
and the attitude of France is one of
hesitation.
This is the situation today. Mean
time it is learned that Germany is
addressing the combatants with note
in substance the same as that of Secre-
tary Hay.
Regarding the attitude of Great
Britain it has been a matter of some
regret to the officials here that as
the principle is one for which the
British government has stood in the
past SO stalwartly it should hold up
formal acceptance of the invitation
until it has learned further details.
On the highest authority it can be
stated that there are no details to the
secretary's note as it would be mani
festly impossible to hope for concur
rent action by SO many powers upon
any but the most general lines.

WILL WAIT a BIT
Russia Taking Her Time to Consider
Mr.. Hays Note.

St Petersburg, Feb. 13.-Russia is
evidently not prepared at this time
to give an answer to the United States
to Secretary Hays note on the subject
of the neutrality of China. AS previ-
ously stated in these dispatches hes
tilities having begun, the military au-
thorities must be consulted, and the
car doubtless will refer the matter
to Viceroy Alexieff if he has not al
ready done so. Russia, it can be said,
is certainly as anxious as the United
States that the war cause no risings
or disorders in China; indeed, the at
titude of China is already causing
some misgivings here, as she has not
yet declared her neutrality.
1t is thought here that the action Of
the Japanese is flooding Pel1in with
posters relating their victories is part
of a well-laid campaign projected
from the beginning to break down Rus
sias prestige in China for the purpose
of ultimately effecting the union of
the two races, which would make the
yellow peril reality.
Russia has already learned of the
position taken by several powers re
garding Secretary Hays note. Ger
many and Great Britain, it is under
stood, both express sympathy with its
purpose, but with an important reserv-
alton concerning Manchuria, which is
now the theater of war. Germany's
views in this respect were anticipated,
but Great Britain's failure to give Sec
rotary Hay unqualified support has
caused surprise here

Washington, Feb. 13.-Speaker Can
non took the bit in his teeth yesterday
and ran completely away with legisla-
tive precedent in the house. Inciden-
tally he broke all previous records in
the dispatch of private pension bills.
Under his guidance 800 of these meas
ures of relief were passed by the house
in 155 minutes. Nearly the whole of
this time was consumed in committee
of the whole The house passed the
bills en- bloc under unanimous con-
sent, which the speaker himself asked
for About half of the bills were dis
posed of under this request without
amendment When objection was
temporarily made the speaker plainly
showed his displeasure by dragging
the proceedings. The objection was
withdrawn, whereupon the remaining
bills were declared passed without
even the formality of having the clerk
read their numbers.

The amount Of suffering which
War entails is hard to compute. The
men who are killed on the BATTLEFIELD,
or who die in the field hospitals, make
only a small proportion of the ong
list of victims which the strife of ma
tons involves. In a large number
Of cases speedy death in action would
be infinitely preferable to the years
Of suffering which the hardships en-
countered during the war have en-
tailed on the brave men who rsked
their all and went to the front when
their country called. Daniel Sechrist,
living at los Brewster Alley, Akron,

spent the last thirty years con-
slant sufferer. Within the past six
months, however, he was suddenly re-
lieved of all disease and will be able
to spend the later years of his life
