as profession.
For this reason the association nun bers
among its members many professional
authors and newspaper men and women.

sition in Philadelphia in 1876 and one of
| the most active in its formation was
James Beck. later assistant attorney gem
eral OF the United States who is now con-
nected with the association as a member
or the alumni department. The young
men and women who compose the men,
bership publish, edit and contribute prose
and poetry to amateur magazines, which
range in size from the little four-pace
sheet to magazines which rival in appear
ance and quality of contents many profess
slonal periodicals. These magazines ore
exchange among the members. The bu-
reau OF critics is maintained. these being
composed of members who are engaged
in professional writing
Many men and women who now occunv
prominent places in the literary and iour-

HOSTILE ATMOSPHERE
May Be Created BY Sending Ships to
Pacific, Peace Delegates Think.

The Hague. July THE sentiment
Of the delegates to the peace conference
regarding the question that has arisen
between the Unitel States and Japan
is that the situation is unfortunate for
both countries, as the original incident
causing tension between the two coun-
tries is disportiOnate to the grave re-
suits which may follow. The question:
the delegates think. is likely to create
Il hostile atmosphere. Although the
sending of Il fleet by the United States
to the Pacific coast cannot be inter-
prctcd as threat, it is generally adj
mitted here that such action may give
rise to "A dangerous popular excitement
which the administration at Washing
ton may not be able to control.
