CHEF AS DIPLOMAT
A French Cook May Play an Important
Part in Restoring Harmony Between
Germany and France, Lacking Since
tho Franco -Prussian War.

Berlin, March 81 Emperor William
will dine with H. l.. Bihourd, French
amba ssador tonight. AS this is the
first time since the war with France
that prussian sovereign mas eaten
at the French embassy, certain poll
tical interest attaches to the incident
tho It can only be taken as a straw in
dicating the French government IS
willing to give and receive a signlh-
cant courtesy.
The emperor has desired better re-
alations with France, but the French
have been reluctant to show they even
in small things have forgotten the
nast. The suggestion that the en-
peror dine with Ambassador Bihourd
came from the French side. During
a conversation last March between
chancellor Won Buelow and Blhourd
some allusion was made to the COOK
cry at the embassies and the ampas-
gador rerna rked: Il have q COOK VINO
A the best in Berlin. think per-
is.,aps his majesty would like to make
,comparison" The chancellor replied
his majesty liked good cooking ana
would doubtless appreciate anSoppor-
tunity to try the Freuch's COOKING.
Some days later Buelow told Bihourd
the emperor would not dine out any
more that season, but would be pleased
to try his cook next year. Ambassador
;Rihou-d has reputation here OF CIV
ing Jolly bachelor dinners.

Washington, March 17.-William G.

Company. made application to the su-
preme court today for the issuance
Of a mandate in the case Of Hartman
and others against the Northern Sc
curities in accordance with the deci-
sion of the court in favor of the COM
pany. He based it on the ground that
until the mandate should be issued So
100000 worth of property would be tied
up by the injunction Of the New Jer-
sew court, and this was an injustice
to the public and owners of the prop
erty. The court took the matter un-
der advisement.

New Army of 100000 Men.

New Army Of 100000 Men.
The dictum has gone forth that an
other army of $4,000 men is to be dis
patched to the far east and in order to
avoid delay it has been decided in
stead. of sending only reserve men, to
form new armies largely of regular
units, leaving reserves to replace reg
ulars in garrison duty at home. Sep
arate armies are to be organized under
Generals Grodekoff, Gripenberg and
Kamaroff. Even in the most optimistic
quarters however, it is realized gen.
eral mobilization is likely to be ac-
companied by widespread disorders,
unless the composition and functions of
popular representation under the inn
perial rescript are more satisfactory
than now appears probable. Practi-
cally no progress is being made by the
Bouligan commission. The emperor
war situation he has twice postponed
action on Bouligan's recommendations
and the latter lis represented to be so
dissatisfied he desires to resign and
turn over his work to his assistant.
To Risk Naval Battle.
The war council it is understood
has definitely decided Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky shall continue his voy-
age and give battle to the Japs in the
forlorn hope of wrestling control or the
sea from Admiral Togo.
Cry for Peace.
In the meantime the completely dis
