Baron Komura's stipulations.

Baron KOmura was finally induced
to accept it with the stipulation that
before the conference assembled the
following things should be done: First,
the fiotation of new loan in order
that Japan should be prepared to con-
tinue the war in the event the effort
for peace failed; second, the occupa-
ton of the island Of Sakhalin: third,
an advance against Vladivostok, and
last, that Oyama should strike a de,
cisive blow at the Russian army in
Manchuria. The fact that the first
three stipulations have been fulfilled,
while advices from the front indicate
the imminence of a general engage
ment, would indicate that the story is
well founded.

Most Difficult Question to Face.

1t is believed here that the question
OF Vladivostok will prove to be one of
the most difficult which the confer
ence will face, as Russia has not con-
cealed her Discrimination to permit it to
enter into the negotiations. In this
connection an interesting story is cur
rent in diplomatic circles regarding the
selection of Baron Komura as Japan's
chief plenipotentiary According to
this story Japan had hardly less trou-
BILE than did Russia in finding an Of
fetal willing to undertake this delicate
mission.

Washington, July 2S.-As clearer
idea is gained Of Japan's peace terms,
whose general character was outlined
In these dispatches yesterday, the skep-
ticism with which Washington re-
ceived European reports that Japan
would demand the naturalization of
VladivostOk, is lessened. In fact, it is
learned that not only is this likely to
constitute one Of Japan's demands, but
it will be accompanied by a startling
counter proposal. In effect, according
to a seemingly well Informed source,
Japan will propose, in return for the
naturalization OF this last Russian port
on the Pacific, not to fortify Port Ar
thur.

Should this information prove cor
rect it will entirely change the view
which has prevailed in official circles
that the question of Vladivostok's neu-
traliZation could not reasonably be
made a part of Japan's peace price.

has demonstrated that Port Arthur was

Divisions of the Drama,

Mrs. Cragie, better known to novel
readers under her pen name of John
Oliver Hobbes," has just come for
ward with a new dramatic ganeraliza-
ton, though she frankly admits that
in stating it she is but the self-ap-
pointed mouthpiece of a small girl Of
her acquaintance who frequently &C
companies her theater-loving parents
to the play. According to this nine
year-old authority all drama is to be
divided as follows:
Tragedy is where you wear fancy
dress and get murdered.
Just plays is where you're like
other people and die of illness or COM
nit suicide.
And comedy is where you go
through with a great deal and yet

Dinner and a Little Change.

One day well-dressed stranger
called at a Lawrence hotel and told
the landlord that he was broke and
very hungry. The landlord took him
to the dining room and gave orders
for the dinner When he got up from
the table $40 bill dropped from his
handkerchief which he drew from his
pocket. A waiter picked it up and
handed it to the landlord, who con-
fronted him with the fact and at once
took out Is cents (25 cents is the regu-
lar price, and returned 1925 to the

Free Certificate for Himself,

The following story is told of the
late DR.. James C. Swan, a physician
of the old school, who practised his
profession for a great many years in
Bridgewater, Mass, and the surround
ing towns.
This generous if not alluring offer
was made by him to the pernicious
father of an insane young man:
The old man wished to secure his
sons admission to the insane asylum,
but seemed unwilling to pay for the
necessary certificate. After hearing
his plea of poverty, which the doctor
knew to be false, and hearing him also
tell of the many expenses to which he
had put by his ungrateful children, the
physician waved his hand to end the
recital.
Now, see here" he said, sharply;
you just pay me for this one, and I'll
give you a certificate for yourself,
whenever you wish it, for nothing"

Ill LUCK IN MAY WEDDINGS.
Popular Superstition Has Descended
From the Romans.

May weddings are supposed by
many persons to be unlucky. 1t is a
heritage from the ancient Romans A
May bride, says Ovid, Is short-lived,
his explanation being that the month
included the celebration of the Lee
muria In honor of the dead. Apart
from any evil omen, such a time OF
mourning would interfere with the
bathing and toilet arrangements that
were proper preliminaries to we'd
dings. Plutarch suggests that as April
was the month of Venus, and June
that OF Juno, to select May was to
slight those nuptial goddesses; or that
June, as the month Of the young
Juniores), was preferable to May, the
month of the old (majores). Ovid's
"Mense malas maio nubere vulgis ait"
fheTe is a popular saying that wick
ed women wed in May was inscribed
on the gate of Hollywood when Mary
queen of Scots married Boutwell, In
May, 1867. What followed strength
ened Scottish belief in Mary's unluck-
mess.

PHONE AID TO MATRIMoNY.
Girl with One in Her Home Always
Popular with Young Men.

Popular Win Young wen.
1t is needless to say that the tele-
phone is great institution, says the
Utica Press. 1t has long been an alb
solute essential in every place of bust
ness. Just now there is a great in
crease in the number of phones in pri-
vate houses. 1t is possible to talk
with pretty much everybody at his or
her home. The companies are evil
IDENTITY endeavoring to boom that
branch of their business, because they
are advertising extensively. The
other day a st. Louis paper had big
display ad at the top of which was a
picture of an attractive young lady
telephoning and represented as say
ing: rs that you, Harry" The text
beneath it includes this statement:
1T is a well-known fact that the girl
who has telephone is the girl who
has the most friends and consequently
has the best time"
This appeal to the young people is
adroit and doubtless will serve to
make the st. Louis exchange bigger
and buster. The parents who have
manageable daughters will do we'll
to consider this ingenious contrivance
and modern aid to matrimony 1t is
something of bother for a young
man to call or even to write note
asking the young lady to go to the the
alter, go for a walk or drive or a ride
to the park, but if he can transmit the
message by telephone it is an easy
way of making an appointment.
Many delicious message is tele
phoned these days and there is reason
to believe the statement made by the
st. Louis company. 1t applies, of
course, with equal force in every
American city. The young ladies for
whom life of single blessedness has
no charms are not exactly buying a
lottery when they hire phone. They
can get much pleasure and comfort
out OF it as they go along, for it is a
constant contributor to convenience.
1t is worth the price, with the enhanc-
ed matrimonial possibility thrown in
as an extra inducement.
