PEACE AND WAR
THE TEXT OF THE NEW ANGLO
JAPANESE TREATY is MADE
PUBLIC FOR FIRST TIME.
WILL CONDUCT WARS TOGETHER
Become Involved in War, the
Other Party Will at Once
Come to the Assistance
of Its Ally.

London. Sept. 27.-The text of the
Anglo-Japanese treaty signed August
IL was issued from the foreign office
last evening, together with dispatch
to the British ambassador at st.
Petersburg forwarding copy of the
agreement, with instructions to COM
municate it to the Russian govern
ment at the earliest opportunity. The
treaty contains eight clauses and a
long preamble. The latter states that
the object of the treaty is the mainten-
ance of general peace in Asia and In
dia and the preservation of the inter
ests of all the powers in China by in
suring the integrity of China and the
principle of equal opportunity for the
commerce of all nations, the mainten-
ance of the territorial rights of Great
Britain and Japan in Eastern Asia and
India and the defense of their special
interests therein.
The text of the treaty is as follows:
"Article 1T is agreed that when
ever in the opinion either of Great
Britain or Japan any of the rights and
interests referred to in the preamble
to this agreement are in jeopardy, the
two governments will communicate
with another fully and frankly and
will consider in common the measurea
which should be taken to safeguard
those menaced rights or interests.
article 2-Should either of the
high contracting parties be involved
in war in defense of it's territorial
rights or special interests, the other
party will at once come to the assist
ance of it's ally and both parties will
conduct a war in common and make
peace in mutual agreement with any
power or powers involved in such war.
"Article 3-Japan possessing para
mount political, military and economic
interests in Korea, Great Britain rec
ognizes Japan's right to take such
measures for the guidance, control and
protection of Korea as she may deem
proper to safeguard and advance those
interests, providing the measures SO
taken are not contrary to the principle
of equal opportunities for the COM
merce and industry of all nations.
"Article 4-Great Britain, having
special interest in all that concerns
! the security of the Indian frontier,
| Japan recognizes her right to take
such measures in the proximity of that
frontier as she may find necessary for
safeguarding her Indian possessions"
The pithy articles of the official text
bring out forcefully the tremendous
| Importance to both countries of this
alliance, which practically makes
Great Britain Japan, and Japan Great
Britain for the purpose of defense "in
! the regions of East Asia and India"

Walter Aylette. For the first time in her
gay, happy, 10 years she looked seriously
upon love. Yet she was surprised to find
that she was not happy. She confessed
to Martha that she was uneasy
There was no announcement of the en-
gagement. Two days after she accepted
Aylette by mail there came from him
another letter. so different that Molly's
uneasiness grew great. 1t was nice
letter, overhowing with rejoicing-but
there was something missing. Molly
felt that her surrender, her gift of her
sedf to the man who had seemed to de-
spair, was not received in quite the man
ner she expected 1t. 1t seemed to her
.hat the man was gloating rather than
exalted by his victory.
All that night she was uneasy. She
felt that she had made a mistake, and
she read and reread the first three let
ters before she fell asleep happy and
reassured. The thought came to her that
perhaps she loved the letters and not
the man, but she did not believe that art
could infuse such feeling into written
words.
The next morning Molly came down to
breakfast late. She looked little wan
and pale, little anxious. 1t was the day
that Aylette was to return to Baltimore; !;
the day on which for the first time Molly
was to surrender to the kisses of her

the boarding house that night, Aylette
confessed to Phillips that he did not
particularly love Miss Entrekin, but
that she was rich and that he was go
ing to win her. Disgusted sickened
by the attitude of his friend, which
came as rude awakening from the
dreams that he himself had been
dreaming. Phillips turned to go to his
room. There, with the vision of the
bright-eyed, fair-haired girl before him.
he resolved never again to go near her,
realizing, as he thought, the impossi-
bility of ever winning the love of Mar
tina Baker. He held TO his determina-
tion. Two or three times the girl in
quired of Aylette why he never brought
Mr.. Phillips with him to call, and she
admitted to Miss Entrekin that she
had been interested in the reserved,
handsome young fellow. Once she
frankly asked Aylette to bring Phil
lipps to call but the message was never
delivered, and Aylette lied about it to
her, telling her Phillips preferred not
to come, and the girl, surprised and
hurt, never referred to him again.
Phillips became more silent than ever
and worked harder, refusing to join in
any of the little pleasures of the others
in the boarding house. Once one of
the girls in the house teasingly asked
him if he was in love, and he flushed
and left the room.
Aylette, to all appearances, was
making no better progress in his ef-
forts to win the love of Miss Entrekin,
and he departed for Richmond for a
fortnight's vacation without receiving
one sign of encouragement.
Beginnisg of Love Letters.
Then, suddenly there began to come
TO Molly Entrekin, day after day, let
ters overfowing with tenderness, love,
and passion; love letters such as swept
the hearts of her grandmothers by
, storm-fowery, imaginative, beautiful
love letters, such as girls read and re-
read in the privacy of their own rooms
and grandmothers kiss when they find
them hidden in the bottoms of old
trunks. The letters were from Walter
Aylette, and they revealed to Molly
Entrekin depth of feeling, of power
and passion, of love and tenderness
and yearning that she had never sus-
pected existed in the man. She was
astonished.
Three of the letters, which have been
made semi-public by the events that
followed, have been circulated among

i'why-why-" he stammered.

"Why-why-" he stammered.
Now, you tell me right away" she
dictated. Tell me, tell you. You've
saved me from that man, and now I'll
help you. You are in love with a girl
and afraid to tell her SOP"
please don't, please don't" pleaded
the agonized Phillips.
81 will, too" she said. Here, I've told
you everything and trusted you, and
now you've got to trust me. Who is
she?"
Really, Miss Entrekin, can't tell
you. l scarcely know her, and it would
be presumptuous for me even to speak
to her."
do you love her?"
"Yes-you must know do from the
letters"
do you love her as much as those let
ters show?"
More"
81 wouldn't give cent for a man who
wouldn't tell girl when he loves her
Who is she?"
Your friend, Miss Baker"
What! Martha Baker? Oh. this is
too good It's almost as good as If ic mad
been me, and I'm half sorry it wasn't
You come right over to Marthas house
right now and tell her you love her. II
you don't come with me now I'll send for
her to come here You've got to propose
to her right away, and I'm going to stand
by and see you do. And let me congrat-
ulate you now-for she has read those
letters"
Phillips finally begged off, but prom
ised to call that night on Miss Baker,
and he pledged his word to Molly En-
trekin that he would propose before the
end of the month. And Molly, as soon
as she had refused to see Aylette when
he called, rushed off to tell Martha and
they talked all afternoon and cried lit
tie bit, as girls do.
Phillips really proposed inside of
two weeks and was accepted. And Molly
showed the letters to every girl in their
crowd, as she told the story, and one of
them copied two of them-so the secret
of the plagiarized letters became known
to all Baltimore.
1t is said that Aylette is now working
in New York or Philadelphia, and
Molly's engagement to Nick is expected
any day, much to the delight of Bob

AN INSURANCE MERGER.
1t Appears to Have Been Bad Thing
for the Policy Holders in %
Small Companies.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Investigation of
the affairs of the Western Life In
demnity Co. by a state examiner yes
terday brought to light facts tending
to show that claims of perhaps thou
sands of policy holders in assessment
companies have been practically
wiped out through company manipula-
tions. Examiner Lucius Frouts dis
covered that 2S small insurance COM
panies have terminated their existence
by merging into the Western Life In
demnity Co.
THAT MEANS" said the examiner,
that the policy holders of the original
companies have gone through a pro-
cess which leaves them practically un-
insured, although they are still paying
their premiums and have been doing
so for years. This condition is not
particularly the fault of the Western
or other absorbing companies, for the
absorption is done according to law"
Charges that the company was be-
ing ''milked dry" were made at the
hearing before Judge Kohlsaat by At
torey LeYinson for the complaining
policy holders.
THE company is paying money on
its contracts" said Mr.. Levinson, "and
is being MIXED dry. 1t has issued a
statement giving its assets as $4,000
on May /. Now the assets are $780,
O00."
Levinson said he had been told by
Mr.. Long, formerly attorney for the
company, that the concern had paid
the claim of a bank said to be involved
in the Sl25,OOO deal between President
Rosenfeld and Promoter Gray.
"The company may transact ordi-
nary business, but the assets may not
be used for anything except to pay
death claims" ruled Judge Kohlsaat.
Mr.. Levinson asked a restraining or
der to prevent the company from
transacting business until the continu-
alton of the hearing. He also asked
that Mr.. Rosenfeld's salary of $4,000 a
month be discontinued for the time
Both requests were refused.

Baltimore, Md.-This Is story of
through his ardent, but plagiarized,
love letters. Walter Aylette's sin
found him out, but the disclosure
brought happiness to his friend and
roommate, Ferman Phillips.
The principals in the remarkable
and interesting love drama are Mol
1y Entrekin, one of the bellies of this
city, her chum, Martha Baker, Walter
Aylette, son of a prominent Richmond
family high in society and reputed
wealthy, and Ferman Phillips, who
although poor, comes from a distin-
guished line of ancestors.
Aylette, it is charged by the other
three parties to the case. plagiarized
the brilliant love epistles that Ferman
Phillips wrote in secret to Martha
Baker and, by changing them slightly,
came near winning the love of
Miss Entrellin through them and
their passionate force. The discovery
was made but a few days before the
wedding was to have taken place, and
the girl with the glamour of the false
spell dissipated, dismissed Aylette, de.
claring him an impostor and cheat.
Phillips and Aylette were friends
and lived in the same boarding house.
Why Aylette should have been living
in Baltimore in obscurity few outside
of the friends who were aware of
his wildness and dissipation at Rich
mond knew. He was handsome fell
low, dark dashing and romantic.
Phillips, on the other hand, was timid,
and the gayetles that Aylette sought

ticipate in.
Phillips Meets His Fate.
Aylette was reading law in a down.
town Office and Phillips was striving
for living in prominent mercantile
house. While all business, so far as
even his closest friends know. he
really was dreamer, and he aspired
to write novels and plays. He had
come into Baltimore without resources
and worked hard. BY accident he was
thrown into contact with Walter
Aylette. and the result was a strange
INTERVIEWING of fates. Aylette, through
his family's prominence, had the entree
10 many homes, and one evening, by
insistence, he persuaded Phillips Ia
accompany him to the home of Miss
Molly Entrekin, daughter of wealthy
merchant. Aylette did not tell Phil
1ipps, but he invited him to go merely

LEATHER MADE FROM PLANT
A Vegetable Product of Japan That
Is in Demand for This
Country.

The department of agriculture Is
trying to introduce into cultivation in
this country a plant native to Japan.
which furnishes a sort of vegetable
leather. 1t is a pretty shrub called
the "mitsumata," and it's inner bark,
after going through a process of
maceration, is converted into a sub
stance as tough as French kid, SO
translucent that one can almost see
through it, and as pliable and soft as
calfskin. In Japan pipe cases and to-
bacco pouches are manufactured from
the material, as we'll as a kind of wall
paper which is already becoming fash
lonable in America. Such wall pa
pers of vegetable leather are turned
cut in beautiful designs for wall and
ceiling decoration, being stamped and
modelled by hand in most artistic pat
terms.
1t would seem that we have a good
deatto learn from the japanese about
paper making. Already we import
large quantities of another kind of pa
per obtained from the same plant, for
use as legal documents, diplomas,
deeds and bonds. There are at least
eight other plants from which the sub
jects Of tLe mikado obtain paper stuff,
while we depend for such material
upon wood pulp and rags of cotton and
linen.
Mr.. David G. Fairchild, one of the
government agricultural explorers,
w no nj ctt Of Il,
subject, says that ii is not pleasant
TO think that the brilliant white note
paper which lady uses may have in
ii part of the filthy gay ment of some
Egyptian fellah, saved !y a ragpicker
from a gutter, yet it is a fact that
hundreds of tons OF Egyptian rags are
fetched every year to the United
States to supply our paper mills. At
Mannheim on the Rhine the American
importers have ragpicliing houses,
where rags are collected from all over
Europe Che disease infected Leyant
not eXcepted), and where women and
children work with wet sponges tied
over their mouths, sorting the filthy
scraps for shipment to New York Our
best papers are made of these rags.

sorbent, and for this reason were high
