railway transfers before the nearest
British consul. who was ut Brest. l
locked up the papers and railway
stock in Breton cupboard as high as
the ceiling and very solid. kept the
key in my pocket.
When my cousin and were ready
to start. took out the key, and it
would not open its own cupboard. The
servants came In turn and tried in
vain. We had to miss our train to
Qutmper. which was our first stage. to
Crest. Now. our village locksmith was
very rough and ready. so the next
morning said I would try the key
myself once more before he perhaps
ruined my lock.
The key fitted perfectly, the cup
board opened easily. we got the pa
pers. and we went. But, imagine. we
found at the station placards posted
up telling Of THE awful wreck of the
Brest train the day before. and it was
the train In which we should have
been but for the obstinacy Of the key.
We saw the carriages all fallen into

JAPAN DOES NOT WANT WAR

No war with Japan unless the United

O'Brien, the American ambassador to
Japan, who passed through Omaha Satur-
day evening between 8 and 10 o'clock.
He is on his way to Grand Rapids, Mich,
his home, where he goes to attend to some
private business, being on a four-months'
leave of absence. He purposes returning
to Toxic by way of Europe and Will stop
at Brussels to see Mrs. O'Brien and their
daughter. who lives there. Ambassador
UBrien was formerly minister to Dem
mark.
No he said, the war cloud Ia all on
this side of the Pacific, and in my .opln-
ion is being made to order by certain
newspapers which are in need of matter
to fill their columns.
LAS to the immigration question. the
Japanese government is forced to con-
tend with many conditions which the pub
Hc are ignorant of. 1t wants equal priv
ileges with Europeans for It's subjects,
but has never seriously thought OF war
as a means of getting them. The steam
ship companies are responsible in part for
the coolie immigration into the United
States. 1 believe that Japan is sincere
in its announced intention of trying to
keep it's people at home"
AS TO the recent change in the cabinet
of the island empire. Americas repre-
sentative among the little brown mon
made no startling statement, saying tina
1t was the inevitable turn in the cycle
Of politics and would not affect the policy
Of the government materially.
