SALVADOR REJECTS OFFERS
Refuses Nicaraguan Arbitral Plans
Unless Reparation Is Made.
Country Thinks National Honor Has
Been AfrOnted-Zelaya's Emissnry
Executes Flank Movement.

Salvador has rejected overtUres from
Nicaragua looking toward arbitration of
the differences arising between the two
countries as a result Of the Nicaraguan
attack upon AcajUtla
Senior Fernando Sarchez. Nicaraguan
Minister 20 Mexico. recently inquired OF
Senior Manuel Delgado, the Salvadorean
Minister at that capital. whether Saliva
dor would agree to submit TO arbitration
by President Diaz in the dispute arising
from the Acajutla affair
Salvador has taken the position that the
question is not arbitral, but involves ma
tional honor, and desires direct reparatlon
by Nicaragua.
This blocks Central American peace.
After months of tense expectancy, mark
ed by the propaganda Of President Zelaya
of Nicaragua in favor Of confederat ton
OF all the states between the borders OF
Mexico and Panama. the five little re-
publics are ready for peace as soon as
they can decide who shall get the credit
for it. President Zelaya recently abruptly
changed his course. Instead Of proceed
ing with a policy Of fermentation of revo-
lutioHs in favor Of the confederation idea
in neighboring republics, he sent a special
envoy TO Washington to take the pulse
OF the United States government.
The first thing the other republics knew,
this envoy was talking up the idea Of a
conference in Washington for the pur-
pose of making permanent Central Amer
lean peace under the auspices Of the
United States, so that It would be a
serious and dangerous thing for any Of
the signatories to violate IT,
There seems to be a definite promise of
such conference, but Salvador's posi-
ton, indicated as a result of the over
lures made by NicaragUa's Minister at
Mexico, shows that the score created by
the Acajutla incident first must be settled
before Salvador Will 90 into a conference

AMBITIOUS TO DANCE
in TEMPLE OF BUDDHA
American Dancer Believes Herself Reincarnation of
Hi1doo Goddess Raoah

An American girl is soon to storm
the temples of Buddha.
That which has never been permitted
to any woman of her race Miss Ruth
st. Dennis is to demand.
She wants to dance in the hottest
temples Of the great founder Of the
faith and has for subjects more than
one-third of the worlds population.
Before she can succeed she must
prove that which she ardently claims
that she is the reincarnation of Ra-
dab, favorite wife of Krishna, one OF
the most venerated deties of the Hin
du faith. This fact once established,
it is hard to believe that even the most
devout of priests could put an obstacle
in her way.
Miss st. Denis life story is one OF
mystery, mixed with wonderful art
success, and there occur in it at every
point incidents and facts which con-

Crocodile Captured Slave Trader.

The trade in slaves has entirely

was recrudescence of it, due to IA

themselves as slaves rather thar

Ten years ago, it is recalled, the en-

slavery, but when the famine is over
they take the first opportunity to
desert. In the province of Muri famine

has appeared before the king and
queen of England and the highest dig
nitaries of half a dozen other nations.
Managers are begging herself to bind
herself to them for tour of the world,
but the dancer declines. The money
she has made thus far is to be used in
her one great life object to go to India
and take the place in the Buddhist
temples she rightly believes to be
hers.
The applause of kings she has count
ed as nothing compared to the state
ments of venerable Buddhists she has
met from time to time, that she repro-
duces exactly all the steps Of the
dances ascribed by tradition to Radah.
Miss st. Denis had no one to in
struct her in these dances. Their Sc
cret is held by the priests. All that
she does has come from her own con-
seriousness, the vision-like sense that
tells her just how the priestess of dim
antiquity was wont to perform her re-
ligious dance for the priests.
Radah is a name little known to the
Occident, but in the orient is stands
for much that is devout
The story goes that the spirit OF
Radah is still worshiped by the priests
because she alone has the secret OF
liberation from sin. and that it came to
her from her husband, Krishna.
The devout priest still kneels in his
temple as did his ancestor 5000 years
ago to solicit Radah for help.
Wonderful tales are told Of how to
the really faithful the princess reveals
herself in spirit form, and in dance
of five scenes she shows the pleasures
of all the senses and the final peace
and JOY of life when all of them are
mastered and renowned.
This great dance is an exposition OF
the underlying principles of Buddhism.
Radah has a shrine in the Hindu
temples, and the spirit is supposed to
come from the idol and perform the
dance when they who are to
see it are in the properly
reverent mood. For the priest who
would become man, and look even for
an instant at the spirit with lustful
eye, terrible punishments are pre-
scribed.
At the time when Miss st. Denis
first became ,imbued with the idea that
she was the reincarnation of Radah,
she had no knowledge whatever Of the
occult or of Buddhism u
She was simply little country girl
