passed upon unsuspecting persons in

the purpose of disposing of the spurious

NO AFFINITY FOR RUSSIA.
ENGLISH PUBLIC OPINION OP-
POSES ALLIANCE WITH CAR.

London, June 26-The Tribune is
conducting a strong agitation against
the dispatch of a British feet to Cron-
stadt, arguing that differentiation with
divided Russia would court misunder-
standings, and that no real entente
is possible until the British govern
ment is able to deal with a cabinet
representing the Russian people. It
is understood that the foreign Office
considers that the Cronstadt arrange
ment has gone too far to permit Of
cancellation. A large number of
members of the house of commons,
however, desire that it should be
made perfectly clear that the naval
visit is a compliment offered to the
Russian people and not to tAe Rus
sian government. Charles Phillips
Trevelyan, liberal, as representing
this view, had question on the mat
ter. which at Foreign Secretary
Grey's request was postponed uptil
later. Discussion of the foreign
Office votes, which is fixed for July Z,
also is expected to give Secretary
Grey an opportunity to fully explain
the governments attitude on the
question.
Foreign Secretary Grey returned
another negative to a question in the
house Of commons as to whether he
would consult with the French and

A Powerful and Sug-

James Hopper is doing much to
help US understand the character Of
our foster brothers, the Filipinos.
He adds another to his series OF
Filipino stories In the July McClure's.
The title itself Is interesting, "Cay.
bigan'-which Is the Filipino word
for friend. The story turns upon the
kindness OF an American soldier for q
young Filipino; who adores him until
he finds that the soldiers favor IL
based not upon admiration but upon
an almost contemptuous pity. The
Filipino's sensitive nature revolts at
this and he turns into q traitorous
"smigo." Perhaps Mr.. Hopper's
tale is more than q story, and Ger
haps be sees that contempt for the
Fillpinos is not the best basis for
government, and that "magtaca"
(admiration) should have some place
