FAIR GIRLS AND MOTTO CAMPERS FAIL
 ID MEET GAZE IF PASTOR
Rev MT. Hopkins Seeks and Does Not Find-Under the Gaslight Tour Proved Verlable Frost What
 He Saw and What He Didn't See

CHICAGO, October 19.--What Rev. Frederick E. Hopkins expected to see after midnight in the fashionable res taurants of Chicago and what he actu- ally did see were recounted by him to a laughing congregation which thronged Pilgrim Congregational church last night.
 The address was the last, so MT. Hop kins announced, of his series of talks on "Woman and Booze"
 He took as the basis for his final ad. dress his experiences late Saturday night and Sunday morning, when he spent several hours at the Pompeeian room of the Auditorium Annex and at the College Inn, with representatives of the morning newspapers.
 From letters he received from cores pondents, who would make Baron Nun chausen look like tyro in the gentle art of exaggeration, MT. Hopkins had expected to view the following sights at both the places mentioned:
 Exquisite women gowned in lace or silk and shimmering with jew els, executing dance movement on the tables.
 Girls as fair as Helen of Troy, giving beholders an opportunity of familiarizing themselves with the latest creations in Parisian lingerie.
 Actresses displaying the last fad in noticed garters.
 Society women pledging wine, wit and wickedness out of their satin slippers. Vaudeville stars kicking silk hats off the heads of financial mag mates.
 Lovely women stopping to folly to the extent of tossing champagne glasses at the mirrors.
 Women in 1000 gowns and $200 hats seeking grateful repose on the floor after consuming two quarts of sparkling Burgundy apiece.
 But MT. Hopkins explained to his congregation, often interrupted by laughter, that these were not the things he saw at all. What he actually did see, said he, were the following:
 Old men slipping highballs, when they should have been in bed with brick at their feet to keep up their circulation.
 Old girls-awfully old-fearfully old-trying to conceal the ravages of time by renewal of youth with the aid of cocktail.
 Fat men with bloodshot eyes and fat necks eating Welsh rarebits.
 The same fat men trying to utter gallantries to equally fat women drinking beer out of steins.

POLITICS IN THE REPORT OF GERMAN
 WARSH|PS VISIT ID AMERICA
If Americans Welcome Idea Vesseis Probably Will Come lf they Fail to Enthuse Story Will Be Denied
 Germany Keeps Jealous Eye on Japan

WASHINGTON, D. C., October 19.-- If the rumor of yesterday that Ger. man fleet of considerable proportions in- tended making a protracted and friend. ly visit to the United States after the Atlantic battleship fleet of Admiral Evans has gone to the Pacific coast should prove to be true, that visit may be potent with political possibilities. Yesterday there was none in official circles who would either confirm or deny the rumor. There appeared to be disposition to dodge the question. Those who conversed with officials of the state and navy departments and with Baron Sternberg, the German am bassador, gathered the impression there was more in the mere rumor than any of these officials or diplomats cared to admit.
 There is a suspicion in certain we'll informed circles that this rumor has been started as feeler for the purpose of sounding American sentiment in the matter. Just where the rumor sprang from no one appears to know, but evi- dences are not wanting that Germany would be delighted to send a big fleet to American waters for political req sons of her own, in addition to any pos sible disposition the kaiser may have to show his friendliness for the American people by such visit of ceremony. If the American people take up with the idea, the fleet probably would be sent; if the proposition is condemned, an off cial denial of any such intention would easily close the incident.
 Keeping Eye on Japan
 It can easily be seen that, aside from her desire to maintain the most friendly relations with the American govern ment, it is not the purpose of Germany to permit Japan to dispose of matters in the orient entirely to her own satis- faction, if such settlement can be pre- vented. The way to do this, apparently, from the German viewpoint, is to keep Japan in state of irritation until Ger man interests are properly cared for. Germany, in common with Great Bri- tain and Russia, after the close of the China-Japan war in 1894, prevented Ja- pan from enjoying the spells of war by seizing territory that ordinarily would have gone to the victor. Under con sessions from China, Germany today owns the port of Kiao-chaou and the Shantung peninsula on the China sea, a naval station, railroads and coal and iron mines. Through these Germany hopes to control its share of the trade of the orient, and when several mem bers of congress visited the emperor in September, 1905, he talked freely with them concerning affairs in that part of the world.
 According to the cable news of that date, the emperor dwelt on the "yel- low peril" and expressed the opinion that the Japanese would follow up their military successes by closing the "open door" and, by their command of cheap labor, force Europe and America out of the oriental markets. The Japanese, the emperor said, would indirectly own

China. In the course of this remark. able interview the kaiser was quoted as saying it was necessary for the white nations to stem the yellow peril by unit ing. The only power that Japan feared he observed, was America, and it was good thing for the world that the United States was on one side of the Japanese empire.
 Resentment Shown in The Hague
 Again, at The Hague last week, Ger. many showed her resentment at the in sistence of Japan, and incidentally took a position that may be of advantage to this country, should war unfortunately come with Japan. Under the approval and guidance of Germany, the Russian government repudiated the most impor- tant article in the final draft of the pro- posed convention concerning the rights and duties of neutrals in the case of a maritime war 1t was acknowledged that the strongest motive in the repu- diation was political. The cables an nouneing this action stated that Ger many had taken the step to show her good will toward and encouragement of the American fleet s voyage to the Pacific. The practical effect of the ac- tion of Russia was that Russia would be breaking no resolution of The Hague conference if she proffered unlimited recourse to Vladivostok to the American fleet under any eventuality that may arise.
 Neither should it be forgotten that it was at the solicitation of the kaiser that the United States took he active part it did in the Algeciras conference. The action of President Roosevelt re- sulting in the peace of Portsmouth, end ing the war between Russia and Japan, was taken at the instance of Emperor William, who has stated that he re- quested Mir. Roosevelt to tender the good offices of this government at the suggestion of the ezar himself. Trade many, through changes in the admins trative features of the customs law, that are of material advantage to Ger man importers, thus carrying into eff feet Secretary Strauss epigram that "commerce makes friends, and friends make peace"
 Feeling American Sentiment
 Much, therefore, depends upon how the rumor concerning the movements of this German fleet is received in this country. If it is approved and Japan looks upon it as the evidence of eoali. tion betweeh the United States and Germany, the friendly settlement of the issues pending between Japan and this country will be postponed, although this does not necessarily mean that those issues eventually will not be straight. ened out.
 Diplomacy may require what pure friendship win not suggest, but some influential officials of this government do not hesitate to expres the opinion that if visions of a German entente loom up, the clouds on the oriental hori- zon cannot be readily dissipated
