Mcdonald of Oregon. by Eva Emery
Dye, author OF The Conquest" mic
Loughlin OF Old Oregon" etc. is a story
Of two shores. The chance casting away
OF a party Of Japanese on the oregon coast
many years ago inspired Mcdonald, a'fully
historical parsonage, to enact a similar
drama in his own proper self with the
characters and continents reversed, Land
ing on the shores Of Japan he was passed
from governor to governor until he reached
the capital. There he was permitted to
establish q school, and II was actually his
pupils who acted as interpreters during the
negotiations with Commodore Perry gen.
orally supposed to be the first Of Americans
to enter Japan. Mrs. Dye has long been
aware of the facts in McDonald's unusual
career, having obtained them largely from
his own lips but she deferred publication
until his papers finally reposed in her
hands. illustrated by Walter ]. Enright.

Hearts and the Cross" by Harold Nor
ton Kramer, is a novel with a fresh field
of action and original in conception and
treatment. The story Is of a man whose
vigorous personality enables him TO do
justice to himself, and to secure justice for
himself under most trying conditions. A
mysterious wanderer, he wins the better
element Of somewhat rough community
by his eloquence as the preacher in a ne
elected parish, meanwhile working in the
fields for his support His fearless honesty
and sympathy provoked deadly hatred,
augmented by the jealousy of the lover of
the heroine Whose interest in the mysteri-
Gus preacher, so clearly above his present
station adds fuel to the Jealous flame.
Lawlessness, heroism, and noble self-sacrl-
! fee have their part in the development of
! an intensely dramatic plot, the interest OF
which is sustained until the mystery Is
cleared away, and satisfactory conclusion
is reached with exceeding JOY to those who
deserve IT, Illustrated by Harold Matthews

FAMILIES NEED
RELIEF At ONCE
Appeal for the 250 Widows
and 1000 Orphans of Victims
of MonOngah Horror.

FairmOnt, W. Va, Dec. 15.-The per-
manent relief committee headed by Gov
ernOr William 0. Dawson, to provide for
the widows and orphans in distress
through the recent explosion at the mines
of the Fairmont Coal company at Mo-

GREAT INTEREST EVOKED.
Comment of St. Petersburg Press
Upon the Voyage.

-. Petersburg, Dec. 15.-The de-
parture of the American feet evokes
intense interest here. 1t has occa-
stoned a volume of newspaper COM
ment, the strength and preparedness of
the Americans being described as
showing strong contrast to that of
Rojestvensky's squadron On its ILL
starred cruise.
The newspapers are unanimous in
their conviction of the far-reaching eff
fects of shifting the naval strength Of
the United States from Atlantic to Pa
cific waters. The Novoe Vremya does
homage to what it terms "a bold
Rooseveltian stroke" TO restore the bal
ance of power in the Pacific, which had
been disturbed by the recent war
The squadron says the Novoe
Vremya, will actually serve as the
best guarantee of peace by checking
the elatiOn of oriental nations"
The No-oe Vremya points out that
the cruise cannot fail to profoundly
impress the Latin Americans, thereby
lending additional weight 10 the Mon
roe doctrine.
The Rech fears that the concentra-
ton of such immense power on the Cal
ifornia shores will vastly increase the
responsibility of the federal govern
ment. as it is inevitable that it will
produce an outburst of warlike senti-

FRENCH OPINION DIVIDED.
Majority Believe No Evil Results
Will Follow the Cruise.

Paris. Dec 15.-The departure tomorrow
of the American armada Is occasion for
a few fresh comments here on the Amer
ican-Japanese relations. French opinion
from the first has been divided into two
camps. The majority in France share the
pacific official view that Japan cannot
take umbrage at the cruise, and that
while the situation contains elements of
danger, the differences between the two
country are sure to be amicably ad-
section of the press has insisted through
out that the real issue between the United
states and Japan arises, not from the
troubles in San Francisco. but because of
Japan's inordinate ambition to control the
Pacific ocean, which, if persisted in, will
make a clash sooner or late inevitable
The recall of Ambassador Aoki they re-
gard as a confirmation of their suspicion,
and they point 10 the fact that negO-
uations on the immigration question are
now practically at a standstil
a well known foreign publicist said to
the Associated Press today:
1T Is now almost an open secret in
diplomatic circles that the American fleet
is going to the Pacific to enable the
United States to answer Japan upon an
equal footing. 1t is an elementary meas
ure of prudence until Japan shows her
hand. If she enteTtainS no Interior mo-
tive. the immigration question will soon
be settled"
The Presse remarks the coincidence be-
tween the departure of the fleet and the
rImor that Japan Is seeking a new loan
in London and Paris.

German Naval Men Expect Much
Will Be Learned.

Berlin. Dec. 15.-The German ad-
miralty has been observing for some
time with the greatest interest the
preparations for the departure of the
American fleet, which is regarded here
as the most unusual naval experience
Of modern times The only event
which is considered comparable to this
cruise of the American battleships to
the Pacific is the passage of the Rus
sian feet from the Baltic to the sea of
Japan. Although tie Russian fleet
started on this voyage under circum-
stances involving much greater danger
ewing to a state of actual war exist
ing, yet, the American fleet comprises
a greater number Of fighting ships and
they are of vastly more Importance.
Expert opinion among naval men is
that il will be splendid practice for the
fleet. While most navies have worked
out such a problem theoretically. il is
thought likely that the practical carry
ing out of such a lengthy voyage will
reveal many things that ought TO be
known and bring to Fight weaknesses
if they exist

Rise of Pacific Question.

London. Dec. 16.-There is no change
noticeable i'm the view taken by the
morning newspapers of the Pacific
cruise, which they declare cannot be
regarded as a menace to Japan. while
they insist upon it's historic import
Gnce as marking the rise of the Pacific
question. The Daily Mail editOrially
describes the cruise as a movement
whose full significance viii only be I'M
derstood by posterity.
The Daily Telegraph admits that no.
body can foresee the date or the cir
cumstances of the fleets return. 1t
says that some weak points naturally
viii be disclosed, but that it will be a
great surprise if the American navy
falls short OF the highest standard of
efficiency.
THE policy that has directed the
cruise" says the paper. may be wise
or unwjse, but it emphasizes to an ex-
traordinary negree the Presidents firm
conviction of the good relations be
tween the United States and Europe:
otherwise he would never venture to
send the whole available naval strength
of the United States to the uttermost
parts of the earth"

EUROPE TAKES
GREAT INTEREST
Newspaper Comment in Prin-
Cipal Capitals on Depart
ure of the Fleet.
POSSIBLE WAR WITH JAPAN
MUCH TO BE LEARNED IN ANY
EVENT.

London, Dec. 15.-The daily newspa-
pers are publishing long accounts from
their American correspondents on the
preparations for the cruise of Rear
Admiral Evans fleet, but refrain from
commenting on it's significance, except
III the naval columns. in which ex-
perts discuss the advisability Of test
ing the resisting power OF ships to the
wear and tear of long voyage. Naval
officials agree that this. although ex-
pensive is desirable, and also that the
cruise of the American battIeships will
afford good training for the officers
and men.
The Outlook. a weekly publication,
on the other hand, returns TO the dis
cussion of the political significance of
the movement. In a long article ii
says:
Pacific battle-ground.
The building up of the states on the
Pacific slope, the annexation of Ha-
wall, the growth of American COM
merce in the far east by the purchase
of the Philippine islands and the rise of
Japan. have reacted upon the desti-
MES Of America with ever-increasing
intensity. As a possible battle-ground
in the future. it is no longer the At
lantic, but the Pacific, that claims
American thought"
on these grounds and the fact that
il would demonstrate the strategic ne
cessiUy of the Panama canal, and that
II would serve as warning to con-
gress that the present forces are not
sufficient to protect the coast lines, the
cruise is held to be defensible, but still
lit is impossible to separate it from
the tension that exists between the
United States and japan
The Sunday Observer says il is diff
cult to believe that the Pacific cruise
of the American fleet is dictated by
purely professional reasons.
Element of Peril.
The plain fact is" says the OBJ
server. that the cruise is a political
reconnaissance of force i'm view of the
rise of japan. The fleet bears the
American flag to the Pacific as a SYM
Dol of power and an expression of the
national viii that it will defend and
develop American interests. Its dis
patch looks singularly like a bluff and
an indiscretiOn. We fear that the
Americans have made a profound mis-
take IL they presume too much on
japanese patience. II is undeniable
that there is an element of potential
peril in the voyage
The Sunday Times dwells upon the
personality OF Count Hayashi. the
japanese foreign minister, to whom
the full recognition of Japanese immi-
grants is a matter of life or death. He
is not the man to be frightened at the
dispatch of the Pacific fleet. says the
Times, and it adds; IF he ignores the
move for the time being, ne will plod
on until he succeeds with peaceful re-
mOnstrances or can see no issue but

Shore liberty for the sailors ended at
10 a. m. today, and at that hour the en-
listed force of each ship, numbering
nearly a thousand men to the company,
was lined up at quarters to listen to
the reading of the articles of war. The
men seemed deeply impressed, as they
were also with more personal words
which came In orders from Admiral
Evans, the cOmmandeF-in-chief, and
from the rear admirals on board the

was told what his duty was to his
country, to his flag and to his suDe-
riOr officers. They were cautioned to
uphold the dignity of their uniform
when going ashore at South American
ports and always conduct themselves
in an orderly and sober manner.

and Admiral Evans has directed that
they be taken along until the fleet falls
in with the ships to which they belong.
Admiral Evans was ashore most of
the day, and there were a number of
informal receptions in the parlors OF
the Hotel Chamberlain. Many of the
officers bade their friends farewell to-
night and repaired aboard their ships.
At a. IN. tomorrow all must be at
quarters ready TO sail.
Some belated stores were placed on
several of the ships today, vast guam

the last supply on board the ships.
Loaded With Provisions.
Eve couldn't take on another pound
of provisions" said one officer today,
''unless we followed the very bad ex-
ample of the Russians, who were
caught by the Japanese with eight
inch gun turrets stored with hams. and
powder chambers filled with caviar"
Several scouting parties were ashore
today looking for scrubby pines to be
used as Christmas trees. Nearly all
were successful, and the little pines
will be carefully slowed away until
Trinidad is reached on Christmas eve.
A number of yachts came int the
roads today with pleasure parties on
board.

Question of Assimilation.

Referring TO the immigration figures
from the various countries, Commits
SiOner Sargent says the table fur
nishes a striking illustration of the
fact that the time has arrived when,
if people are dissatisfied with the eX-
listing political, economic and social
conditions in one country, they will
find the means by which to desert their
former homes and locate where a fair
chance is afforded them. Its chief in
terest to the people of the United
States consists in the question that
must arise in the mind of any person
examining the figures as to whether or
not our ability as a race to absorb
foreign elements is not on the verge at
least of being oveTtaXed."
Of the aliens admitted S73,923 had
less than $50 each in their possession,
while 107, 502 were able TO show
amounts in excess of that sum. The
total amount of money brought into
the country by arriving aliens was S25,-
599 1913, or an average of almost $40 per
person.
OF the 1904 aliens who were turned
back during the year 1,434 were con-
tract labor. but the number of contract
laborers deported during the past year
was 80 per cent less than in the pre-
ceding year.
