AYRESi RETIREMENT LIKELY
Army Officer Said to Be Suffering
from Paranoia.
Report of Board of Medical E1umin-
crs Now In Hands of the War
Department.

Although the report Of the Inspector
Generals department upon the case Of
Lieut.. Col. Charles q. Ayras has not been
received by Acting Secretary OF War OIL
yer. it is regarded as probable that the
action taken by the War Department
when it is submitted will be TO order Col
Ayres before-a retiring board. That such
action is likely is based upon the fact
that Col Ayres already has been exam
lned by a medical board. which reported
that he has nciplent paranoia. The re-
port is now In the hands Of the depart
ment, and is such that under the CirCum-
stances warrant may be had for sum
moning him before a board with a view
20 placing him on the retired list
The climax in his case was reached
when, in a politely worded letter. he re-
fused either to affirm or deny the news
paper interview attributed 10 him concern
ing the matter of the trouble between his
wife and officers at West Point where
Mrs. Ayres lived for a time when her
husband was in the Philippines When
the War Department received this reply
20 its inquiry of Col Ayres regarding the
statement quoting him. Secretary Taft
decided to have the matter investigated
by the Inspector Generals department.
The work in this connection which the
Inspector Generals assistants are en-
gagged upon is simply an effort to ascer-
tain whether or not the interview was
authentic. In view Of the fact that Col.
Ayres has not seen fit to deny it. even
when called upon by the department for
a statement, there is nothing for the In
spector General to do but report the facts
1t is no secret that the department
would like to have Col. Avres taken out
of the active service, and in view of the
circumstances, 1t has been decided practi-
cally to summon him before "A retiring
board upon the report of his condition
made while he was at Camp Wallace.
There Col. Ayres will De given full oppor-
tunity TO defend himself by counsel and
with such evidence as he may care 10
submit It is not likely. however, that
the newspaper interview will figure in the
case before the retiring board. other than
as tending to substantiate the finding of
the medical board that he is suffering
from incipient plranOia.

Exposing the Fast Set.

The fast woman in society in
France compromises herself because
she falls under the spell of passion
the fast woman in society in New
York, on the other hand, compro-
misses herself to pay for her bonnets
and gowns. In this comparison the
French fast woman has much the ad-
vantage of the American fast wom-
an. They are both essentially vul-
gar, declares the Outlook, judged
from the strictly social point of view.
The men and women of the fast set
always force the note. They overeat.
overdrlnk, overdress and overact their
parts They are to people in really
civilized society what sensational jour.
nalism is to high-class newspaper
work. They represent the yellow"
in morals, dress, manners and style
of life. 1t is mistake to treat them
too seriously Irony, ridicule and
sarcasm are the only weapons that
touch them.

tiers or the inferior cooking or the

always wet paint on an ocean steam
er, and there is never a sign on 1t
to warn passengers. The modern sail
or is a painter, constantly welding
the brush, always painting some part
of the ship or other, says the Phila.

passenger on the ocean that does not

PREPARING FOR WAR.
Much Talk and Town Action at Wash.
nqton.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. A mar
ked renewal of interest in the Japan,
esq question has taken place in Wash
ington in the last few days. It has
led to reports in various quarters thar
the administration is seriously expect
ing trouble with Japan, reaching
eventually to war with that country.
Officially, all talk that war with
Japan Is possibility is frowned down
upon severely and denounced as wild
and tlladvised. Secretary Taft him
self Is recent statement made light
of the rumors of trouble with the is
land empire. The facts are, however.
that the officials that have to do with
negotiations with the Japanese and
that are most directly involved In
dealing with the Japanese problems
are much more concerned about CON
ditions than they admit in public. II
1t entirely natural and advisable that
they should refrain from making any
public statements calculated to pro-
mote ill-feeling between the two
counties. This does not alter the fact
however, that the inside talk among
military and naval officers and OF.
ficials cognizant of conditions is de,
cidedly apprehensive in tone. There
is widespread feeling that the solu.
ton of the differences with Japan
viii be extremely difficult and that IL
they are not settled they will go from
bad to worse and that eventually these
two great naval powers fronting on
the Pacific will come to blows.

PRESENCE OF POLICE STOPS
SERIOUS OUTBREAK IN PARIS
WAR ON THE INDEPENDENTS
Organized Effort Mada to Break Up
Services Launching French Apos- Il
tolic Church Sunday. "

Paris, Feb. 4.--Only the presence Of
the police proven, d a riot at tee old
Barnabile monastery which has been
re-christened the Church of the Holy
Apostles, where the French Apostolic
Catholic church was inaugurated yes
| terday.
! The announcement Of the attempt
to organize schism has stirred up
the militant Catholics, who organized
to break up the services. Hand bills
were distributed containing the words
OF a popular air describing Arch
bisop Vilatte, head of the Indepndent
Catholic movement in America, as an
American monkey. whom M. BRAND.
minister of public instruction and
worship, desired to make a French
pope. i
Several thousand persons were out
side the church. Interruptions com.
menced as soon as Father Roussin,
the pastor of the church, began his
sermon welcoming the approaching
Catholic independence, and the dawn
ing Of the day where all of the
churches Of Jesus Christ will unite
In Christian charity"
When he thanked Archbishop Vilatte
for aiding the French Catholics IN
establishing the first church, saying
he was conscrated by the patriarch or
Antioch, the successor of st. Peter,
shout In the rear of the edifcs,
He is accommodated" was the
signal for general tumult and Father
Roussin finally was compelled to ask
that the police be summoned.
About fifty persons were expelled
from the church and quiet was prac-
ticaly maintained until Archbishop
Vilatte appeared at the altar in the
robe and mitre of an archbishop. In.
stantly the din began again with re.
doubled force, almost drowning his
words. The archbishop calmly con-
tinued, saying he had been missionary
for thirty-six years but no savage
tribe had ever prevented his speaking
and concluded:
Even to those who interrupt and
revile me say | will not excommuni-
cate. l wish you no i'll. God be with
you"
A score or more of other persons
were elected before Archbishop viz
atte proceeded with pontifical mass,
During the elevation of the host the
militant Catholics, instead of kneel-
ing, climbed into their chairs. In the
meantime the police had cleared the
streets and there were no demonstra-
lions as the congregation left.

Japan's knowledge of the World.

The fact is, we suspect, that the

Japanese students have been numer-
GUS in almost every civilized land, ac-
curing not only the general arts and
sciences but also and particularly the
especial knowledge which was to be
gained of the individual countries thus
visited. This knowledge, says the
New York Tribune, has in turn been
impaired to and has been eagerly
sought by the entire Japanese people.
While the world at large has inter
ested itself in Japan largely because
Of it's picturesque charm, the Japan

HAVE NO FEAR OF WAR.
British Officials Think Situation n
Maqnified.

London, Feb. 3-Dispatches receiv-
ed here from the United States report
ing renewed tension between the
United States and Japan over thu
San Francisco school incident are
published with rather derisive com.
ment, as the press takes the view that
Japan is not as belligerent as she Lid
represented; and the official view,
while it does not minimize the delf
cate points involved, still does not re-
gard the question as having entered
upon the critical stage. 1t is pointed
out that the reports of a Japanese
ultimatum probably arise from the
popular use of the word ultimatum In.
stead of its decisive meaning under
international law.
Government circles thus far have
given little consideration to this con-
troversy, as they do not share tho
view that it is likely to embroil Great
Britain under the terms of the Anglo.
Japanese treaty. Officials here point
out that the whole thing Is more a
question between the federal and state
government than between Japan and
the United States. During a recent
informal exchange of views one of the
chief government officials said THAI
the difficulties Of the federal govern.
ment In dealing with the different
states. could be appreciated here.
owing to Great Britain's difficulties In
dealing with Newfoundland and Other
colonies.

A O. Res., Pub.
The Worship Of Diamonds.
AvovsoM



A McGill professor, lecturing on tie
diamond the other night, demonstrate
ed dramatically the well-known fact
that diamond is merely crystalized
carbon, by burning a couple of small
stones in an electric arc. Flakes of
graphite fell from the sides, and the
whole became a mass of coke. Yet
what has not been bought and sold
for diamonds? 1t requires an expert
to tell the difference between some of
the limitations and the real stones.
Paste diamonds are worn to great as
semblies by great ladies while their
genuine jewels repose safely in the
vaults at home. Still, says the Mon
treal Herald, this does not induce 9TH
err ladies, who cannot afford the gen.
uine, to be quite as content with
the paste. If some one were to dis
cover mine" of diamonds and flood
the WORLD with them-if a scientist
should learn how to make them-if,
1t is said, the present diamond miners
Were to put on the market all they
cOuld-the value would go down. In
the two former cases it would we'll
nigh disappear. Yet to-day people
will coin the toll of many men for
long years into diamonds and wear
them as symbols of wealth. This Is
curious world in some ways. Yet,
perhaps, not so curious We gen.
orally want chiefly to have what 9th.
er people cannot have.
