The discovery that the city was be-

TO avert great disaster. Funds were
diverted from other public works and
invested in concrete and stone. The

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities Of omesrs and D.
reetors.

Evidently President Kingsley Of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
fty and duty Of directors Of corpora
tons. Speaking to the new board of
trustees. on the occasion OF his elec-
ton to the presidency. he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than a private business. that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
Of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach to a going busi-
ness which at the same time must be
administered as a trust
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers OF the
company. Il understand" he says.

Pacific saucer.
London.-The Daily Mail in an edi-
torial article on the Japanese-Ameri-
can situation says:
Around the immense area of the
Pacific ocean the embattled nations
C: the world are gathering as the ma
tons gathered around the Meditcrra-
mean 1000 years ago. Careful observ-
ers universally will agree that the great
events Of the twentieth century prob
ably Will be occupied within the rim OF
this vast saucer.
War between Japan and America is
almost unthinkable. We believe the
intentions Of the statesmen of both
countries to be PROFOUNDLY pacific. and
that the incidents at San Francisco are
not responsible for the movements OF
the American feet.
Japan commenced the war with
Russia, without previous decision. by
destroying half the Russian feet. Such
move was very effective the first
time 1t was performed. and henceforth
no nation will wait for a formal decla-
ration of war. but will be ready to
strike while there are yet no signs OF
@ diplomatic rupture.
THE cautious and wise statesmen
directing American policy are not vio-
iating prudence In deciding to concen-
trate their forces in the region where
the eye can detect the menace on the
obscure horizon"
Tokio.-The Asahi prints an inter.
siav with an influential Japanese ma
val expert. who says:
''It would be improper to infer a
demonstration in the transfer Of the
American feet to the Pacific. This
movement is part Of prearrangel
plan and is a result of the constant
growth of the American navy and the
increasing importance Of Pacific inter-
ests from the strategic need. No sig
niflcance can be attached unless u.
least thirty ships have been trans
ierred to the Pacific"
The Asahi also publishes an editorial
article setting forth the same views. 1t
ieerets the American feet can not visit
Japan in order to enable Japan to re-
assert her sincerity and reciprOcate
Inc naval hospitality extended to the
visiting Japanese warships at James
town. The paper also urges the abro-
cation CT article ii of the existing COM
lnercial treaty In order to put an end
to the cause of the anti-Japanese feel
ing at San Francisco.
Almost all the newspapers treat the
matter with calmness, finding 1t Ia
natural for the United States to redis-
tribute its naval forces as result Of
its imperial policy. They. too. gener-
ally express regret that it will be i'm
possible for Japan to extend hospitality
to the American officers in return for
that shown the Japanese officers al
Jamestown.
The Asahi is an independent news
paper. popular among all classes. and
mas probably the widest circulation in
Japan.

ZOE" AND DAN"

The story of "Damon and Phythias'
is often reacted in the world, yet sell
dom is it appreciated among CANNES.
This incident proves that mutual
love and understanding exists among
the lower as we'll as the higher ami
mails.
Two old dogs, we'll known residents
Of Athena, inseparable cronies, Joe
and Dan by name, setter and pointer by
breed. are both good specimens of their
progeny. Dams youth was spent in
the strenuous yet fascinating life of the
ring and, 10 doubt, he oft related to
his companion the ups and downs of
the actor dogs life and the loving
sympathy was never denied him by
his friends.
Joe had always willingly shared the
most delicate morsels of the overturned
swilI barrels. and together in the early
morning they would beat the swamps
and brush for game, returning to their
homes tired, yet satisfied with life.
Joe was never to weary too pick from
Dams long, black aud white coat the
burrs and brambles entangled there.
He was never annoyed by these having
short, slick coat--mud and fieas
were his only bother.
Joe would whisper in Dams ear the
depravity of street fights and the les
sons taught ky this optimistic dog were
not lost on the other, for Dan was a
better dog than when he came to
Athena FIVE years ago.
Two or three weeks ago Dan was
shipped to other parts. A young dog
has been included who is not tramp
dog aud who is we'll trained for hunt
ing and Joe's heart is almost broken.
He passes the swill barrels now with
merely sniff, the morning hunt has
lost its charm, bis eyes have changed
from the satisfied look to almost a
human appeal, and in that look he is
asking for Dan; his coat is neglected
and when he heaves deep sigh and
flops down in a careless heap, perhaps
he thinks the loved friend has deserted
him for the old life and it is useless to
wait for his return.-Pendleton Tri-
