PEACE NOW
ASSURED.
ENJOYS Of Japan Gno Russia
Come to an Agreement,
Which Ends the War.
President Roosevelt's Efforts for
Peace Fully Appreciated by
Heads Of Other Nations.

The bloody strife between Japan
and Russia was brought to an end
Tuesday morning, at which time the
plenipotentiaries representing the
governments directly interested
agreed upon terms of peace at Ports
mouth, N. H. Japan gives up its
claim to indemnity and will divide
the island of Sakhalin with Russia,
giving to that country the northern
half. Japan also withdrew articles
10 and II of its original terms, de-
manding the interned warships of
Russia, and the limitation of. Russias
sea power in the far east.
Once the deadlock was broken
both sides seemed to want "just
and lasting peace" and the plenipo-
tentiaries decided to add new
clause to the treaty by which each
country will secure for the other the
benefit of the "most favored nation
clause" and the "open door,"
President Roosevelt is now coming
in for his full share of credit in bring
ing about peace. M. Witte, the Rus
sian peace envoy telegraphed to the
president: History will ascribe to
you the glory"
King Edward of England, Emper-
or William of Germany, President
Loubet of France, and other crown
ed head have telegraphed congratu-
lations to the president.
William J. Bryan, from Janesville,
Wis, telegraphed President Roose-
welt as follows: Accept cOngratu-
lations. Your successful efforts to
secure peace between Russia and
Japan reflect credit on the nation"
The treaty is being prepared at
Portsmouth by M. De Martins and
Mr.. Dennison acting as legal advisors
for the respective sides.

LIFE ON A WARSHIP.
why the Men Are Allowed to Indulge
In Athletic Sports.

III AthACtAC SpoHtss
To see a thirteen inch gun loaded
and fired is a sight not to be forgotten.
The projectile is thirteen inches In
diameter, about three feet In length
and weighs LOO pounds. The powder
charge for target practice is $50
pounds. The cost for each shot is
about $500. When all is ready on the
range the signal siren sounds, there is
a binding fash, roar like thunder
and a jarring shock. Then you hear
the whining screech of the shell, for
all the world like fast express round
ing sharp curve. The proJectile is
visible almost from the time 1t leaves
the gun. You see it rip through the
target and strike the water beyond,
throwing up column of liquid man.
feet high. The shell skips, much like
the fat stone skipper" of our boy
hood, and again a column of water
shoots up two miles or more farther
out, to be repeated time and again.
The shell in its flight can be watched
without the aid Of glasses for eight
miles or more in clear weather.
While the life of sailor, from cap
tain down to apprentice, is an almost
continual round of work, some time Is
found for athletic sports, such as
boat racing, football and baseball. The
object Of this Is to give the men rec
reation and at the same time to foster
the spirit of competition. Besides. it
makes the men easier to manage. The
ship with a strong football or baseball
team or the fastest race boat almost
invariably has a happy and easily
managed crew-a crew that will swear
that its officers are the finest men In
the world, and likewise the officers
swear by such crew. Some ships
have training tables for their athletic
teams, the expense usually being de-
frayed by the officers. The team or
boat crew, as the caae may be, Is
petted by the officers and idolized by
the crew, and for some time before
hard contest the men are excused from
various duties in order that they may
give more time to training.
Every battleship and cruiser has Its
race boat, purchased by contributions
from officers and men. The prices paid
for these boats is, as d rule, contingent
upon their winning certain specified
races. The builders are willing to take
a chance, knowing that the crew will do
It's best to win. For winning boat the
price is often as much as $1,000, while
for boat that proves less speedy the
builder will accept $500 or less. On the
result of feet boat race as much as
$50, 1000 has been known to change
hands, and large sums are also
wagered on baseball and football
games. This is, of course, contrary to
the letter of the regulations; but the
sporting instinct is as strong in the
navy as elsewhere-and 1t is not always
possible to hold down the lid.-Leslle's
