THIS LOOKS BAD
Russian Reply Received But Not Given

fsnecial Telegram to Evening Teller)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Russia' S
renly to Hays note was received at the
state department this morning but the
officials decline to give out any infor-
nation,
The state officials later said that the
note was favorable response so far
as the naturalization of China was
concerned an that its contents had been
transmitted by the state department to
the governments of China and Japan.
1t is not believed, however, that Rus
sia accepted the suggestion by Hay. In
fact it is UNDERSTOOD that the reply is
so worded rs to amount to practical
rejection of Hays request.

"Mr. Wagner has we'll brought

a poor man because he is poor,
aud the brutal envy and hatred
felt by poor man toward a rich
man merely because he is rich,
are at bottom twin manifesto
lions of the same vice They
are simply different sides of the

looks down in the one case, the
envy that hates in the other, are
really exhibitions of the same
base and unlovely spirit
which happens in one case to be
in different surroundings from
what it is in the other case. The
