 he did not reply. for at that mon. t the gong rang for the next period a..d he had only two minutes in which to get his pony and take his place. The score stood at seven to four in favor of Meadowthorpe The nat ,h was between that club and its greatest rival. Cedarbrook. and was without handicaps. Consequently there was considerable interest in the result Billy Lester was captain of the Ce- darbrook team and played No 3-that
 is. when he wasn't playing No. 1 or No or looking after his own goal.
 For his team was certainly not playing high class polo that afternoon.
 However, he plead with them in lan-
 guage that was so eloquent that 1t was
 good thing that 1t did not reach Jean Carstairs's ears, to do better, and to a man they promised to play up!" And
 he set them an example by carrying the ball the whole length of tine field m three strokes and hitting a goal, fair and square, within a minute anG halt after the ball had been put into play. Well done" cried cheery voice, and Jean, whose checks were flushed and glowing with excitement, looked down upon gray-haired man who was standing beside the drag.
 Why, MT. Wilson, she cried in un- affected surprise. T never thought ycu were enthusiastic about poIo" And why not?" returned the other. It's grand game. If a man can play y polo we'll he can do a lot of >tnsr things well--if he chooses"
 Jeans bright face clouded little a. this. "But I'm afraid most of them don't choose" she said.
 That's just it," cried her companion

War Changes all Conditions.

But the moment war begins the con- o1tlons change completely. In the hrst place, these vessels become war shlps-it is known that the Smolensk ana St. Petersburg in February were under the naval flag. In the second place, they become a source of annoy- ance to neutrals and positive danger 10 one of the belligerents if they reach the open sea. Even as things stand We may expect to see Japanese fleet 'n European waters demand satisfac- ton of the sultan when the war Is over
 The annoyance caused to neutrals hv ships from the Black Sea emerging and playing the part of cruisers in the Red pea Is now evident. l need only sav here that it would be impossible for Russia to get genuine cruisers into the hed Sea pr to harass neutral shipping In the way she has done if the Darda- helles were barred to her. The coal dlnlculty is such-she herself having proclaimed coal as contraband, to which proclamation she will be strict " held-that her cruisers from the balttc could not well reach the Red Sea.
 As to the passage of the straits. Rus sla Is confronted with dilemma which cannot be evaded. If the St Peters, burg and Smolensk were merchantmen they have no right of search and are mere pirates from the standpoint of international law Their molestation i ui British shipping cannot be tolerated. Neutrals have a right to demand: CD nat belligerent vessels claiming the rlsht or search shall be vessels posses

 There is only two minutes more to play and the score Is even-seven 10 seven. Every one is playing desperate ly we'll now and for long time neith- CT side gains the slightest advantage In the thick of it Lester rallies and cheers his men to greater exertfons, and just as the gong strikes amid wild applause from the spectators his gall lorfng pony emerges from the group and he sends the ball rocketing through the enemy's goal posts. It Is Cedar brooks game and well may they cheer it's hero--for 1t is Billy Lester's last for many a long day.
 He has slipped away from his admir- CTS. however. and while the horses are being put to the Halliday drag he joins Jean and finds her in conversation with MT. Wilson. They had dismounted from the drag and were strolling along the side lines

First Treaty in IS56.

After the Criman war. by the treaty of Paris, concluded In 1856, 1t was laid down in article xI. that the Black port thrown open to the merchantile marine of every nation, are formally and in perpetuity interdicted to the flag of war either of the powers pos sessing its coasts or of any other power" thus forbdding the maine nance either of Russia or Turkish fleets in the Black sea-
 Article XIII. of the same treaty laid down that neither Russia nor Turkey was to have dockyards in the Black sea.
 convention, annexed to the treaty and having the same force as its pro- visions declared in its first article that the sultan would allow no foreign war ships to pass the Bosporus of Darda- nelles in time of peace As there was no Russian navy in the Black sea 1t was not then needful to consider the possibility of Russia warships demand ing passage in time of war. The second article allowed the sultan to grant ffrmans of passage to light ves- sells employed by the various diplo- matic representatives-the so-called 'stationairies," maintained at Con- stantnople by the embassies. se- cond convention provided that Turkey and Russia might each keep a few small vessels of no fighting power for police duty in the Black sea.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-08-07
By H. W. Wilson, in the Chicago Tri-


 The passage of the St. Petersburg and Smolensk through the Dardan- elles and their subsequent appearance In the Red sea as regular cruisers molesting neutral shipping, have led the British government to press Rus sia, for definite assurance that the treaties governing the use of the Dar- danelles shall be tuIy observed and not evaded by sharp practice. The question is of great importance as 1t is known that a few days ago four Russian battleships were making pre- parations to pass the straits from the Black sea into the Mediterranean, dis .guised as merchantmen. repainted, renamed. and flying the commercial flag. In addition 70 these vessels others of the volunteer fleet were to follow or precede them.
 The dispatch of these ships through the Bosporus and Dardanelles would have been q distinct violation of exist ing treaties. To understand this it is important to know what these treaties are.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-08-07

nary official subterfuge that tho Rus sian Foreisn Office said the vessels were merchantmen and the Russian ad- miraity armed them (without the Knowledge of tha Foreign Otfico,)
 Tho point upon which all attention must be concentrated Is that these vessels, having passed the straits as merchantmen, cannot exercise the right of search, and nre liable to arrest for their violence on tho high seas, Their
 prizes are no prinos, and wherever they touch their surrender can be de- manded.

Dardanelles Closed to Warships 
 No Raised.

Bosporus such as 1t has been estab- lished by the sepr tte convention is maintained with power to his majesty the sultan, in time Of peace, to open
 the said straits to the yes sels or war of the friendly and allied powers. in the event
 that the sublime porte should consider 1t necessary, in order to secure the ex-
 ccution of the adaptations of tho treaty
 of Paris"
 The friendly and allied powers meant are England, France and Italy. Russia Is not included, and the straits can
 only be opened in time of peace. The
 third article of the treaty proceeds to state: - -,- The Black Sea remains open as heretofore to the mercantile marine of all nations"
 Finally, the Berlin treaty of 1878 in its sixtythird article declared that: "The treaty of Paris of March 30, 1856. as we'll as the treaty of London Of March 13, 1871, are maintained in all such of their provisions as are not abrogated or modified by the preceding stipulations." None of the provisions affecting the use of the Dardanelles was dealt with in these preceding stipulations.: and thus the treaty of London today gov erns the right of passage.
 Unofficially Russians are quoting some treaty concluded between the Russian and Turkish governments in 1901 as giving their volunteer cruisers the right of passage. Such treaty has no standing in international law. It was not notified to the powers; 1t did not receive their consent; 1t cannot in any degree bind them. By the public law of Europe no Russian warship may pass the Dardanelles. F
 A further Russian suggestion is that the volunteer cruisers. by the fact that their passage in time of peace has been tacitly tolerated by Europe. have &C., quired the right to pass the straits in time of war. Here it seems to be for gotten that the conditions of peace and war are totally different. There is no reason why steamers built to carry passengers and cargo should not be al- lowed by the sultan to pass the straits In peace, even though he knows that these ships are so constructed as to be able to mount guns in war. No in- Jury or annoyance is caused to any one In peace by their passage.
