NOT URGING WAR
English Alliance With France is
Entirely in interests of
Peace.
BRITISH OFFICIAL EXPLAINS
Would Lose Heavily in Struggle and
People Are Opposed to As-
gressiVe Policy.

London. July 25.-From a high Off
cial of the foreign office the Associated
Press has obtained an interesting state
ment regarding the relations of Great
Britain, France and Germany. Begin
ming with the declaration that Great
Britain would welcome a defensive al
lance with France because it would in
sure a long continuance of European
peace by acting as a check TO German
ambitions, the official characterized the
charges made in the German press
against Great Britain of seeking to in
volve France in a war with Germany,
as absolutely contrary to the facts.
With France Through ALL
When Germany created the con-
troversy with France over Morocco"
said the official. "the British govern
ment informed the French government
that it would support it in whatever
policy it decided to pursue. Accord
ingly, Great Britain declined to par
ticipate in the international conference
when France declined and accepted
when France reconsidered its decision.
but any charge that we sought to bring
about war or failed TO use our good
offices to prevent conflict is absolute
ly false. We would undoubtedly have
stood by France in any conflict over
the Moroccan question. but we do not
want conflict and desire an under
standing with France solely to insure
peace.
Would Lose Heavily.
Great Britain at war would suffer
infinitely greater commercial losses
than her adversary. For one thing.
our entire shipping would go to Amer
lea, and the people would overthrow
any government assuming an aggres-
sive attitude"

Gift for Pastor.

From last Monday Evenings S Trib-
une, Fremont, Neb.:
Rev. John Doane, retiring pastor
of the First Congregational church,
was given happy surprise yesterday
afternoon when two members of the
church on behalf of his friends pre-
sented him set of solid silver des-
sert forks and sl93 in gold. The
forks match the set of solid silver
spoons presented to him few days
ago by the choir of the church. Mr..
Doane is still confined to his bed
while recovering from the effects of
an operation for appendicitis and the
presentation was made quietly on
this account. The gifts were those
that were to have been given him at
the farewell reception the evening of
the day he was taken i'll.
Messrs. Pollard and Treat were
the members delegated to give the
tokens to Mr.. Doane. They went to
the parsonage about = O'Clock and
presented the reverend gentleman
the gifts, together with letter eX-
planning that the tokens were given
in appreciation of Mr.. Doane's faith
full and earnest work in Fremont.
| They represented voluntary offerings
of personal friends as we'll as mem
bers of the church.
Mr.. Doane is growing steadily
stronger and was able to sit up an
hour or. two yesterday. His cheer
full frame of mind is contributing tC
rapid recovery. -

Amusements
when Johnnie Comes Marching
Home"

The presentation of this delight
ful military comic opera at the Gree
ley opera house, Saturday, Nov. 9TH,
is undoubtedly the musical event OF
the season. In music, scenery, cos
tunes and east it is unique. The
company is so complete that no jarr-
ing note is heard and the action of
the opera in its romantic and hum
orous scenes is bright and entertain
ing alike to the masses and the con-
noiSieur.
In the second act the delicacy and
refinement Of scenic art is beauti-
fully illustrated in this charming
picture, representing a river traverS-
ing the lush bottom lands of the
Mississippi and in the foreground,
occupied by weather worn mansion,
familiar on the big cotton planta-
tions of the south before the war, d
bit of the negro servants quarters,
clambering rose bushes and wide
spreading trees. 1t is moonlit
scene and the lighting is managed
so we'll that the shimmering effect
of the moons beams on the river
creates a perfect illusion.
The rising of the curtain to the
appropriate music which Julian Ed
wards has written for the scene,
never fails to evoke enthusiastic ap-
plause, and the entrance of the dark
les with their quaint actions and
melodious songs tend to complete
home. Mr.. STANCE in the dramatic
work of the opera has been very
happy in avoiding the least sugges-
tion of sectional feeling: it is as
much for the south as the north IN
all that appeals to chivalry, melody
and all the better episodes of our ma
tion. The company, under w. T.
| Carleton s. management, may be
truthfully described as the best sing
ing and acting organization in Amer
lea and contains the names of ar
fists of national and European re-
pute.
w. p. Carleton may fairly be en-
dorsed as the best lyric baritone
before the public-he is worthy son
of worthy sire-and in the title
role Johnnie he embodies all that
Messrs. STANCE and Edwards desire.
Mr.. Edwards recently said: Young
Carleton is the ideal Johnnie. - A
new prima donna in the person OF
Miss Gertrude Vaughn will appear
as Kate PembertOn, for whom the
manager is in every way sponsor.
Miss Vaughn is a pupil of Madame
Marchesi and unites with most
charming personality a voice of deli,
cIous quality and considerable dra-
matte power. A critic of reputation
and captious one at that, said OF
her recently: Miss Vaughn is an
other Alice Nelson; there are nc
bounds to her future success. 4"
The comedy element by James
Francis is really delicious. His
song, I'm so Upset, gets many en-
cores, and the eccentric dance which
follows is as good as the song.
In the opera are twenty-one musi-
cal numbers, the most popular OF
which are My Own United States, -
Just Marry the Man and BE
Merry, :" Goodbye Yankees, y MY
HoneysucSle Girl, Years Touch
Not the Heart, - Katie, My South.
ern Rose, " and the exquisite duet,
When Our Lips IN Kisses Met"
The stirring finales are sung with
a vim and snap which take the cur
tain up half a dozen times to the
plaudits of the audience. Special
mention should be made of the chic

TAKE THEIR FACES
New Ideas For Municipal I'm
provements Suggested.

Kalamazoo, Mich, has hit upon a
novel and effective method for muni
cipa improvement, or rather the Wo-
mans Civic Improvement league of
that city has. When a member of the
league discovers Il piece of property
that looks as ragged as a last years
show bill she reports this to head
quarters, and the league photog-
rapher is sent out to take picture
of the obnoxious premises. a copy
of the photo is then sent to the
owner. with the stamp of the league
upon it. If the offender does not
take the hint at this, the picture is
posted in a conspicuous place, or in
several places. according to the de-
gree of the crime. The result is
that Kalamazoo is rapidly becoming
one of tile finest looking towns in
the country.
The Kalamazoo idea, somewhat
elaborated, could be put into good
use in Greeley. There is excellent
work for the photographer in some
of the Greeley alleys. Some of the
old shacks of buildings that are al.
lowed to stand and incumber prop
erty that should support a fine six
story block would also make good
subjects. People who have cut down
fine rows of cottonwood trees, for
spite, and have planted little,
scrawny NAPLES that won't grow,
should be furnished with photo
graph of the stumps.
The idea might be elaborated still
further, and applied to people.
! There is often an undesirable neigh.
Dor that the whole community would
be glad to be rid of. Why not LET
some amateur photographer snap him
and send him copy of the picture.
A note of explanation might accom-
pany the print informing him that
something like that would get him
unless he moved out rapidly. If one
amateur failed to produce the desired
effect let the whole local staff of
amateurs go after him, and he would
at least die if he didn't move.
The Kalamazoo idea is all right
and with a little development from
the original we hope TO see it
adopted in Greeley. The Tribune
would also like to buy some of the
best amateur pictures taken by the
league photographers, to be used in
Its next years puzzle contest. so
there Is way that the league could
play even.
