IN The BALANCE
GEAR AND MIKADO CAN SAY
WHICH WAY THE
SCALES GO-WAR
OR PEACE.
President Roosevelt Told the
Russians He Was Willing
To Act as Arbitrator.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. 22.-Baron
Kaneko, special representative in this
country of the Japanese government,
had conference with President Roose-
welt.
Baron Kanekos visit, it is known,
was arranged hurriedly.
Baron Kaneko intimated that Japan
csc might regard the presidents prop

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 22-The peace
situation is trembling in the balance.
The Japanese seem to resent the eff
forts of the president to bring about
peace The Russians, it is said, will
bend if the Japanese will. But the
Japanese must not go home without
will not pay indemnity. The result is
up to the ear and mikado A few
hour1 will decide.
This is the exact proposition Presi-
dent Roosevelt made to Baron Rosen
on Saturday:
The president said he Is prepared,
willing, even anxious TO act as arbi-
traitor between Japan and Russia If M.
Wtte will give his consent.
The president said he realized his
principal work must be with the Jap
Rnese. and that he is anxious to argue
the japanese into making concessions
that will enable M. Wittee to treat fur
Their with them.
The president expressed the greatest
ina. 60. IA the nee Oelations. RE SAID
he is aware that unless concessions are
made there can be no peace.
He said, after watching the proceed
ings, he was convinced it is his duty
to make another effort to end the war.
He showed Baron Rosen that he has the
moral support of the great neutral
powers The president said he is will
ing to devote all his time for the pres
snt to the question.
He asked Baron Rosen to take this
message to NJ. White, who in turn sent
It to the emperor.

If there is any difference in the Eng
fish and the French texts, one prepared
by the Russians and the other by the
Japanese, this will give an opportunityI
for starting the discussion again, and
TINS afford the ENJOYS a way to make
peace.
Unless the Russian is willing to lett
the president attempt to get conces-|
slcns from the Japanese, which, OF
course means M. White must mako
concessions also, the work Of getting
the protocol in shape will soon be over.

M. Martens, the Russian internation1
al law expert, having listened to the
presidents proposal said:
1.-THE situation Is and will remain2
unchanged. We shall go home Wednesf
day, in my opinion"
There Is no member of the Russian
party who has the slightest idea that
the emperor will make any CONCESSIONS

Women > Opinion

The interviewer begins to recognize
that the opinions Of women on various
subjects have a commercial value. All
the members Of the senior class 10 a
well-knoWn college for women recently
had a request from an editorial sane
tum for their candid views concerning
husbands-"as they are, ard as they
might BE, viewed from the vantage
point Of the college student. - One
wonders, says the Youths Companion,
how that vantage point differs from
that Of the girl who went into society
instead OF into college. The. two girls
might have differences as 10 the de-
sirable characteristics of lovers; but
husbands for both are yet IN an IN
known lend. Perhaps, however, the
college girl may be expected TO de-
mand a superior training in mathe-
mates or in Greek as essential for the
smooth conduct OF married life At all
events, her opinion on the subject was
thought of enough Importance for the
editog to offer fee of two dollars to
each senior who would consent to ex-
press herself "candtdly'' On the dues-
ton. A Boston reporter begged an in
tervieW recently with young woman,
and told her that his paper was soon

HUNTERS ODD EXPERIENCE
Fox and Hawk Attempt to Purlosn
Quail His Gun Had Brought
Down

DR.. William Rowland, of Pasadena,
who was up at Middle Ranch quail shoot
ing few days prior to the close OF the
season, had a most unique experience.
relates an Avalon correspondent OF the
Los Angeles Times.
He ran upon covey of quail, and,
flushing them, dropped one with his left
barrel, and then, at considerable of an
angle, dropped another with the right
barrel. Turning to his first bird, he
was just in time to see a fox snatch it
up and start to run away with it,
Quickly pumping another cartridge into
his gun, he let the fox have it, knock
ing him stiff. After accommodating a
minute, and finding his first bird, he
was returning to pick up the second,
when something shot down like an
arrow from the skies in front of him.
the object proving to be an osprey.
The quail had been wounded, and its
f1utetring attracted the attention Of
the big hawk, which, while sailing
through the ether had an eye out for
quail dinner, and, darting upon the
wounded bird, was about to cheat the
hunter out Of his quarry. Or. Rowland,
while amazed at the turn OF events,
did not propose to stand for such a
play. and, training his ready gun on
the bold robber. with a pull Of the frig-
ger put him out of commission. and
saved both his birds.

II THE SUN WERE coLoRED
Amazing Possibilities If the Orb of
Day Gave Forth Tinted
Rays.

a German astronomer has recently
published some interesting observa-
tons on the theoretical effects of a
change in the color of the sun. It is
amazing to consider the possibilities
lI=our sun We're green, blue or red,
instead of what it is, says the New
York Hera=d. If ii were blue there
Roaad be only two colors in the world
blue and black. If it were red, then
everything would be red or black. If
were yellow, everything would be
yolloW or black. Every one knows
that the light of our sun consists Of
SIX colors. and the reason things are
dfnerent hues is that some swallow
up#hye of the eoIofs and reflect only
one. Thus we have prinroses yellow,
because they absorb all but the vel
low; roses red, because they absorb all
put the red; Violets purple, because
they absorb everything but red and
blue, a mixture of which two eoIors
forms purple
. IN the event OF the sun being red.
roses, blood. red ink and all other
things that are now red would reject
It. So would snow. the lily and all
things that are now white. but these
would, of cou1se, be red Everything
else would swallow up the red light
and appear quite black. Grass, for in
stance, would be black as ink and so
would the blue Of the sky. but the
white clouds would be red. The same
KIND OF thing would happen if the
sun were blue. Everything now blue
Or white would be blue and everything
else black. The whole sky, clouds and
all, would be blue. The grass this time
would be blue, not black. for it reflects
both blue and yellow Hair would be
all black, the red of the lips would be
black and the rest Of the face would
be a cloudy blue.
If the sun were green we would have
2 little variety. Things that are now
yellow would still be yellow. Things
that are blue would be blue and things
that are green would still be green.
but there would be no reds, puppies,
orange, pirks or any of those CHEEKY
1ues that make the world look so

OLD FORT GIBSON CHURCH
Historic Building in Indian Territory
That Has Sheltered Well
Known Americans.

An effort is now being made to pre-
serve the 'told church on the hill'' at
| Fort Gibson, |. T., the oldest building
in the territory. This church, says the
Fort Gibson Post, was the old garrison
church at Fort Gibson during all the
early days of the west and was after
ward used as a sehoolhouse, with
Henry NJ. Stanley, then a young man,
| as the teacher.
The old building has been occupied
continuously since 1892 Gen Hazen
while residing here was married and
brought to the fort his bride, Miss Nc
Lean, Of Cincinnati. o.. now the wife
of Admiral George Dewey. She is said
to have been the most stylish woman
who ever lived at Fort Gibson and
occupied the large stone building still
standing on Garrison Hill Many peo-

Fort Gibson, the Oldest town in In

much OF which has been written, but
most Of which is yet unrecorded. Set

chase, there was established a Mill
tary post in 1919. Many notable and
distinuished men have lived there.
some now resting in the United States
National cemetery, about mile from
the old fort, where =2,459 soldiers are
buried and where may be seen the
names Of a number of celebrated sol
d1ers, scouts and warriors who figured
years ago in border and Indian war
fare.
Among the number is the noted Sem
mole chief, Billy BoWlegs, who fought
with Oseeo1a at the battle of Wahoo
Swamp, where Gen. Dade was killed
and the American troops were routed.
After the treacherons capture of Os-
ceola Bowlegs Joined the American
army and was assigned the rank of
captain, a fact recorded on the tomb
stone at the head of his grave.
Stanley, the African explorer, at one
time taught subscription school at
the fort, occupying the old frame build
ing, still standing near the old public
square.
washington Irving, the noted Amer
lean writer, visited Fort Gibson and
wrote his Tales Of Traveller, in
tent just outside the old parade ground
on Garrison Hill
IN 1916 the poet LongfelIow, en-
tour Of observation in the west, visited
Fort Gibson by the way of the Arkan-
sas and Grand rivers. Next year ap-
peared the most loved of all his poems,

vicinity of Fort Gibson is graphically
and beautifully described.

japanese DECORATION.

In the japanese army men are not
promoted for distinguished conduct on
the field and officers do not assume the
rank of a superior officer who may be
killed. By distinguishing themselves
they gain nothing but decorations. The
Order of the Golden Kite is most
coveted honor. Every man seeks to
obtain it, not only because it carries
with it certain monetary rewards, but
for the honor which its possession be-
slows on the wearer. No officer at
tains higher rank except by going
through the necessary course of study
and passing the examinations. Mere
bravery cannot bring promotion.

1t is popularity supposed that the prop

pense and suffering that would scarcely

the lives of twin sisters or brothers

These old ladies recently kept their
