pan is willing to cOncede much for
peace and good feeling between this
country and ours"
Rumors of Viscount Aoki's recall
have been persistent since the send
ing to President Roosevelt, last whit
er, of the alleged ultimatum regard
ing the segregation of Japanese
school children in San Francisco. At
that time a high diplomat explained
that there was a disposition in GER
tain Tokyo circles to hold Aoki re-
sponsible for the trouble, which, it
was said, was due to friction between
him and the present minister of for
eign affairs He is strong-willed, and
belonging as he does to the older
generation of statesmen, he has APP
parently regarded the officials of the
ministry of foreign affairs as his jun
iors.
The Hochi says Viscount Aoki is
unpopular in official circles because
of his disposition to act independent
ly, and that he has often exceeded or
disregarded his instructions.

Recalled Diplomat See no

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec 10
(SpeciaD Your President? How
can | understand him when your own
people do not?'
This is what Ambassador Aoki had
to say about Roosevelt during an in
terview regarding his recall and its
relation to the moving of the fleet to
the Pacific waters
He also cautiously described the
American people when he said that
they were "new in diplomacy, but
honest; yes, honest in intent, always.
My sovereign bears the most kindly
feeling toward your country; and in
deed we all do" he added

The will of the Emperor-his judg-
ments-we never question. His will

Japan is not alarmed at the atti-
tude of the United States" said the
Ambassador. Whether she has a
large fleet in the Pacific or in other
waters does in no way cause my
country to fear The strained re-
lations so much talked about are
mainly the cry of those who do not
understand the real conditions exist
ing automatically between your
country and mine.
MY Government in no way is dis
satisfied with me, as has been cir
culated. That is absolutely wrong,
he added firmly, "and is only conjec-
ture on the part of those not knowing
the real situation.
1.-THE conference with my Emperor
will be the subject of Japanese immi-
grafton to the United States, as that
is the foremost concern to us at the
present time, naturally; but there
will be no trouble resulting, as the
matter is practically settled, and am
icably to both countries. / think, by

PLENTY OF EGGNOG is

Americas will enjoy her Christmas
eggnog as usual, and the ingredients
for corlpounding this glorious Gre
alton are abundantly at hand. OF
course there will be no shortage of
booze and sugar, nor will there be
a scarcity of eggs. Just now the sup

in our big "storehouse" Kansas City
there are millions of eggs, and Amer

there, remarkable to relate. Kansas
City eggs are shipped weekly to
Americas, one large firm handling
them exclusively and selling at 80
cents per dozen. These shipped eggs
are of fine quality, and rarely is bad

Such embroidery may be done at intervals

Centerpieces and Plate Doilies.

An elaborate and yet easily worked set
of plate doilies and a long oblOng scarf for
the center of the table were seen recently in
an art store. This set was of fine white
linen with pointed inserts of Nalenciennes

several shades of green flo
The donies were circular with four
pointed inserts of the lace connected by
heavier edge SO shallow as to scarcely

an open buttonhole stitch about one-Six-

The long centerpiece was worked in the
same manner, but in addition to the lace
inserts on the edges il also had them at in

arranged in loose wreaths around them.
Such a set would be especially effective
on mahogany table with green and white
china and silver fern dish filed with the
real madenhair ferns.
