According t" London correspondent.
the invitations to the SWEETEST English
weddings now have engraved down in
one corner this request, at is the es-
pecial request of both parties that no
wedding presents should be sent"
This sort of thing should it become
universal, would he n great relief to
the friends Of those getting married
and in most cases would work no
themselves.

The announcement that China will
again send Wa Ting Fang as it's
minister to this country is probably
received in Washington with varied
cnotinns. During the earlier part of
his first term of service in this country
WI gained general popularity by his
genial qualities and his ready accept
ance of tn" American point of view
Later, however, h" began to NEEDLE a
little too much in certain affairs both
national and international, and when
he was recalled by his home govern
ment il was in response To what was
practically 4 request for such action on
the part of the government at WASH
ington. 1t is therefore a peculiar
thing. to express it mildly. that China
should again name him as its
representative in this country and tho
action is likely to place our govern
ment in il somewhat embarrassing
position.

There is something which appeals T."
the fancy in this story that a Swedish
challenge for the Americas cup is like
ly to he received in the immediate flu
ture Tradition tells us of great feats
performed on the seas by the Scandi-
navians in the old days and it would
be very fitting fer the sons of the Nik-
insS tn seek new laurels in navigl-
ton i'm American waters. The Royal
Yacnt Club of Sweden which it is said
will send the challenge. is - years old
and King Oscar is one of its patrons.
1t is easy to believe the report that
the coming challenge is indirectly the
result of the visit of Prince William t.,
this country ana his desire to bring
about Il better acquaintance and closer
relations between his people ana our
own. Now that the British have been
trying in vain for over half century
to regain the greatest catching trophy

About the first thing done by Secre-

They say that over in England the
bicycle has enjoyed great revival of
popularity during the past summer. and
although the weather has been the
worst since bicycling began twice as
many machines have been made and
sold in England than in any year since
bicycle riding enjoyed its great boom
about a decade ago. There has been
no sign that the movement would
spread To this country although there is
10 knowing what another season will
bring forth When bicycles first be-
came widely popular they were some
thing of society fad and when So
cicty dropped the fad the bicycle bust
ness naturally had slump. Now il is
said that in England the masses are
learning that the bicycle is n cheap and
convenient form of short distance
travel. and now that this discovery has
been made the bicycle will probably get
upon a more solid and permanent basis.
Ii is not at all unlikely that the re-
vival will extend to this country,
though during the past few years BIZ
cycles have almost disappeared from
our city streets and country roads.

they attack the President upon this
matter, sometimes because the depar-
,t,,re of the Heet viii leave New York
unprotected" sometimes because they
pretend that 1T means that our naval
establishments upon the Atlantic coast
will be abandoned, and sometimes for
other equally foolish reasons. but
usually because they say it is an in
suit to Japan and challenge for a war
in Pacific waters and in the far East.
1t is difficult to believe that the read
err: of these papers can take such talk
seriously. Certainly Japan does not
arpear to be disturbed, and its cordial
welcome to secretary Taft who, in his
own language. goes there as the Sec
Rotary OF peace, not as the secretary of
war, is very pleasing and significant.
A far as the Japanese immigration
problem is concerned, it confronts
ard Canada is one of the chief de-
Tendencies of Great Britain which is
Jap:tn's closest ally. Uncle sam has
great interests in Pacific waters, his
dominions border upon that ocean as
we'll as upon the Atlantic, and he has
not only good reasons but a perfect
right to have Il naval force in that part
Of the world Japan has no right and
no disposition to object, and the enc
mics of the President who are having
Nightmares over this matter should
take something for their digestion.
