Are They Mere Creations?
Several days ago a young man and a
college girl engaged in a discussion over
the reality OF the Christy girl.
'Oh. OF course, the faces are very
pretty and the figures stunning" said
the young man. but they are merely
creations of a very clever artists

"Quite the contrary is true" said the
young lady with a saucy pucker OF her
lips and a toss Of her head There are
several girls in this city who look
exactly as If they had posed for Mr.
Christy. Their cOlorfng is the same as Mr.
Christy's girls. their height and figure
are similar and the Identical expression
is found in their eyes"

DRAGO DOCTRINE

VIII Make the
Speech.

THE HAGUE, July At IS generally
understood that the Drago doctrine viii
be formally prelsented at The Hague
conference today and that either Mr.
ChoaJe or General Porter viii make the
presentation. A strong speech IS ex-
pected in explanation and the best
opinion now Is that the principal that
contractual debts shall only be collected
by force after the debtor nation has
had its day IN court and then refuses
10 pay, will be accepted by the peace
conference and eag~afted into !nterna-
tiOnal law.
1t IS understood that the English and
German opposition 70 the principal in
VOWED has been overcome and that while
the original proposition may be mOdi-
fed IN detail. there viii be no deter
mined opposition TO this doctrine.
Some amusement has been created by
the presence here Of a delegation from
Korea, which seeks recognition as repre-
senting an independent nation There IS
an impression that the Koreans are here
at the suggestion OF Russian agents,
but their effort TO secure recognition
not only has not been seconded by the
Russian delegates, but, as a matter OF
fact. the Dutch Government has, IL IS
said. been unoficially informed that
Russia does not desire that any recogni-
ton be given the Koreans Japan, OF
course. would uphold the admission of
the Korean delegates

MOST DARING BANK ROBBERY Cashier and Clerks Lock
 cd in Vault. BULK OF MONEY SECURED Were Apprehended at Hotel, But

Bloomington. H., Nov. 25-The State Bank at Clinton was held up and rob bed of $2,200 in coin. shortly before 5 o'clock this afternoon by two men, who made their escape

OFFERS POURING IN
BANANA BONDS AND TREASURY
 CERTIFICk1 Es POPULAR.
A Feeling of Greater Confidence Now Prevails in the Success of the LOnns-Banks Returning
 Cash Basis.

Washington, Nov. 25.--offers for the Panama bonds and the one year Treas ury certificates were still coming to the Treasury Department this morning and a feeling of greater confidence in the success of the loans seems to pre- vail than at any time since their an- nouncement.
 The news from New York and other money centres. that currency payments would soon be resumed. was accepted as evidence that the policy of the Treasury had done it's share in the restoration of~ confidence. While Sec retary Cortelyou fully appreciated the fact. in announcing the issue of the certificates that they might become source of bank note infation to cer- tain extent he believes that the char acter of the certificates will prevent the imitation from assuming danger ous character.
 It is not considered at the Treasury that the certificates themselves will be used to any considerable extent as cur rcncv. A few may he passed back and forth in settlements between banks. where settlements In cash have not been resumed. but those would only take the place of clearing house cer- tifcates and perhaps permit the retire.
 mont of those instruments sooner than would otherwise occur. The fact that the certificates bear interest and are redeemabIe within one year. are dis tinguishiug marks by which they are considered to differ radically from any form of currency. If they be used to infiate the currency at all. it will be as security for hank note circulation. but this cannot last beyond the one year term of the certificates. and 1t is believed that if the banks find their circulation coming back upon them rapidlv for redemption. they will re- fire their notes within the year even though they continue to hold their cer- tifcates as an investment.
 The situation is so rapidly improv- Ing that it is quite possible that allot- ments will not bc made for the full amount of siOOOooO0O which secre- tary Cortelyou announced week ago would be offered to the public. It Is declared by financial experts that even if industrial conditions continue un- | favorable. there is little doubt that money will accumulate rapidly in the | banks after currency payments are re- stunned. because there will be lack of inclination to borrow it for new en- terprises

Maghnia. Algeria, Nov. 25.--Ten thou sand of the fiereest Ben Isnassen tribes men swooped down Oh the French camp yesterday and were beaten off with a loss of 1900 killed.
 The fighting continued for long time and was conducted on the part of the tribesmen apparently with total disregard for their lives. At one time, the French infantry were in danger of being surrounded, but they finally dis engaged themselves from their perilous position by most brilliant charge of the Spallis. The rout of the Arabs was completed by vigorous sheiling by the artillery. M
 The French loss was eight killed. ..
 The Arabs were not discouraged by this severe repulse but reformed their forces and in addition directed their efforts to rousing other tribes. The fighting was resumed today and the booming of cannon could be heard throughout the afternoon. The results of the battle now on are unknown at present.

 A notable address was made by Sec retary Strauss of the Department of Commerce, and Labor.

 Secretary Straus took as his theme.
 'The Association and the Working Man." and expressed the hope that the Association might bring about closer i and better relations between the em-
 ployer and the wage workers. The
 secretary said there was no lack of
 present day problems but that this con- dition was not because there were more wrongs, for the rights of man were
 never more zealously guarded than to- day Better wages are paid and more
 comforts are enjoyed. Tn this country the rights of every man of every creed are respected. .a. Mir. Straus praised the Y. M C. A. because its foundation "is laid upon
 broad non -sectarian lines" The sec
 retary said the relations between the employer and worker cannot be meas
 ured by economic laws, but must be l determined. by the high principles of humanity. He said the equality-of ev- cry man of every creed before the
 land must be guaranteed.
