Attitude OF Our Government,

Washington, Especially Carrying
out the wishes OF the State Depart
ment that a couple of American ma
val vessels be kept in Central Ameri-
can waters, the Navy Department
has dispatched the gunboat Marietta
from Guantanamo to Greytown, on
the Gulf Coast of Nicaragua, in ad-
dition TO the cruiser Chicago, which
has been sent down the west coast
to Acajulta, Honduras, so that with
in a day or two there will be an
American warship on each side of
the scene of the threatened trouble.
The Yorktown, now at Mare Island,
is not to go TO Central America,
but as soon as her repairs are COM
pleted will rejoin the Pacific fleet
in the neighborhood of Magdalena
Bay in the maneuvers and target
practice.
It is stated that the purpose of
sending these ships to Central
America Is similar to that which in
spired that order to the Marblehead
last year-namely, to have ship
at the disposal of the American min
listers IL they should find it necessary
to travel up and down the coast in
these countries where communica-
ton by regular channels is so limit
ed. Also, they will, of course, pro-
tect any American property that may
be endangered If disorders break
out.
Hopeful View At Washington.
Consul William E. Alger, at Tegu-
cigalpa, Honduras, communicated with
American Minister Combs, in Guata-
mala City Che being also accredited to
Honduras) that the opinion at Tegu-
cigalpa was that war between Hon
duras and Nicaragua was almost in
evitable. The officials here, how
ever, do not take any such pessi-
mistic view and believe that the
combined efforts of Mexico and
America will, without offending the
pride of the Central American re-
publics, result in convincing them
that their differences can be settled
without recourse to arms.
Without directly admitting the
accuracy of the statement from the
City of Mexico that at the instance
of the Washington government the
Mexican diplomatic representatives.
in Central America had been in
structed to bring pressure to bear
upon the governments to which they
were accredited to prevent hostili-
ties, 1t was said at tine State Depart
ment that correspondence had been
exchanged between the department
and the Mexican government to this
end The Washington government
regards itself as bound under the
Treaty of San Jose and the Marble
head pact to offer good Offices to
prevent warfare between the Cen
trail American republics. and as the
Republic of Mexico is under similar
obligation, the two are trying to ar
range a program whereby Mexico
will represent the wishes of the
United States as we'll as her own
people in the case.

SHAVING ON TRAINS.
Not a DidicuIt Task, Says n Man Who
Has Tried 1t.


Has Tried 1t.
''There was hurrah when some of
the railroads started barber shops on
their fast trains," said a travelling man.
1.-The newspapers said that at last trav-
elers could have the luxury of n shave
whenever necessary and that no longer
would we see unkempt men leaving the
trains at the end of long run.
NOW. the barber shops on the fast
trains are undoubtedly blessing to
men who are not able to shave them
selves, but for my part L consider them
far more dangerous than the simple
operation of shaving yourself, even
when going at the rate of sixty miles
IN hour
Il always shave myself, and I do not
use safety razor, yet l would sooner
scrape ny chin with an unprotected
blade while the train is going sixty or
seventy miles an hour than let bar
Der on the same train lean over me
with a sharp razor and perform the op-
Grafton.
1.-The reason for this is that when one
holds the razor in ones own hand the
razor moves with you if there should
be sudden jar or jolt. If you fail to-
ward the razor the razor falls away
from you, as your arm is naturally out
stretched to prevent your from striking
wall.
But suppose the barber is leaning
over you as you sit in a chair and
sudden lurching of the train throws
him against the chair. What chance
have you in the chair to get away
from the sharp blade coming in your
direction?
Il have shaved myself dozens of
times on fast trains and slow trains.
and 1 have never cut myself once. Yet
a number of my acquaintance who
have patronized the train barber shops
have been compelled to wear court
plaster during the remainder of tas
trip.
Up to year or so ago / never
shaved myself on train, and / never
saw any one else doing it. Then per-
haps because of the advent of safety
razors ii became comparatively ia
miliar sight to see a man shaving him
self in the smoking room of the Pull
man.
Il have had travelling men seeing me
shave for the first time express their
surprise that | did not cut myself
owing TO the lurching of the train. and
when l have explained to them how
easily one can shave on a train they
have become instant converts TO the
practice. Like all simple things, one
does not realize how simple it is until
one has tried il.
Another thing. it is infinitely
smoother shaving when the train is GO
ing fast than when making only TWEEN
ty-five or thirty miles an hour. Th>
curves and the jolts seem more severe
on slow train. The steady motion OF
swiftly moving train is more con-
ducive to security and comfort than
any slow train Washington Post
