DEMAND FOR TAN SHOES.
They Promise to be PoPuIar-Asain
TIE Craze for White.

tie Craze for Whttes
It is evident that the tan shoe is to be
a real feature Of the new season for both
mems and womens wear, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. New York dealers have
broken out with large stocks well dis
played. and the demand Of dealers in the
central States is well worth needing
The antipathy shown a year or so ago
was largely the fault Of the dealers them
selves. who did not take the necessary
interest to Influence the customers. and
the tan shoes were deprecated. dyed
black. sold at bargains. and treated as
outcasts.
The people in summer really enjoy tan
shoes and. If encouraged. buy them. This
year. though. the black. shiny shoe viii
be proper, as well as the snowy white
shoe. The brown shoe TO match the
gown completes the symphony Of color
A Chicago house has recently placed an
order with a New England manufacturer
for 800 cases Of wOmen's tan shoes on
quick delivery. New York dealers are
taking them greediiy. and the demand Is
not confined to any particular city or
locality The goods for women's wear
are made IN tan calf and Vici kid IN two
or three shades.
The demand for canvas shoes in white
and colors is showing no lack Of popu-
larity Of those lines, and New England
made goods are going ali over the United
States 70 such an extent as 10 indicate
that the craze has become a chronic con-
ditlon.

It does not necessarily follow that be-
cause Denmark is disposed to support the
views of Russia, Germany. and Sweden
for the naturalization Of the sound and
of the Baltic at the coming Peace Con-
gress at The Hague. that she should be in
complete political sympathy with these
nations. Her attitude in the matter will
be prompted mainly By sentiments Of self
preservation. For unless some agreement
takes place this summer, her territorial
waters in the sound, and probably her
coasts, viii constitute the principal battle
ground in the event Of an Anglo-German
or Anglo-Russian. OF Franco-German war.
Naturally. one OF the first things which
Germany or Russia would do in the event
of hosulities would be TO endeavor to
block the entrance Of the sound by means
Of submarines or torpedo boats. cruisers.
and battle ships. which the opposing
beIIlgerents would have to break through.
This in Itself would constitute a violation
Of Danish neutrality. and thus Denmark
would against her viii. be drawn into the
conflict and would, as is usually the case
in such affairs, prove I'm the end to be the
principal sufferer: fortunate, indeed. II shs
did not lose her independence in the strug-
gle. The extent to which she realizes her
danger In this connection is shown by the
relatively enormous sums OF money which
she is spending on her coast defeuses.
Should the Kaiser, who has a private en-
trance of his own 60 the Baltic through
the Kiel Canal, obtain his way and secure
the application to the Baltic and 10 the
Danish sound of the same principles that
are in force in the case Of the Dardaneiies
and the Black Sea-in one word, if the
passage between Helsingborg and Elsl-
more is placed on the same International
status as the Suez Canal, then Denmark
can dismantle her elaborate defenses at
Cronberg, and can devote the money
which she is now spending upon her mill
taTy budget TO more useful purposes.
Russia. Sweden, and Germany, too, viii be
relieved Of any further anxiety with re-
gard to the defense Of their shipping IN
the Baltic. and Of their towns and cities
along its coasts. In short. 1t viii prove
the most effeotuaI step toward that reduc-
ton of ornaments which is declared By

Inasmuch as the United States may be

for Its naturalization cannot fail to prove
of considerable interest in America. The
plan Is to close the Baltic to foreign
fleets. especially in time Of war. much in
the same way as the Black Sea and the
Dardanelles, and It Will readily be seen
that Germany, Russia, Sweden, and Den
mark are all alike concerned in securing
the consent Of the congress Of The Hague

would virtually relieve them Of any dan
ger Of an attack upon their coasts and

Harvey Scott OF Oregonian.

Harvey Scott, for half a century the
editor Of the Portland Oregonian, has
an intimate knowledge of the classics,
of which few men can boast And yet,
he is not college-brcd. Born on farm
in Illinois siNty-nine years ago, he went
TO Oregon when he was n boy-ln the,
days when west was west, All the
money he could make or scrape was
saved to buy books of instruction. and
to indulge the passion for reading
which possessed him from childhood.
The language of the ancients were mas
tered, and the minds of all the English
writers were his to look into. In the
years that followed, this hardgotteu
training showed in the editorials he
wrote, which are remarkable for their
strong, clear. unaffected English For
forty years Mr.. Scott has made it
practice to read chapter from King
James Bible and scene from one of
Shakespeare 3 plays before going 10

much credit for the wonderful uplift-
ing of the northern Pacific coast reglonr
and certainly no man rs more proud OF

cerned in its welfare.
