REFLECTIONS or A
 BACHELOR GIRL

Snapshots of great men all re mind us that there is some eonsola. ton in being obscure.
 That deliciously giddy sensation that woman extracts from hover ing around "the brink of love and just not stepping over it always seems such foolish waste of time and energy to q man.
 Now that there are bachelor flats with maid service, incubators for babies, chorus girls for amusement, and laundries that darn socks and sew on buttons, marriage seems no longer necessary evil.
 It is so much easier to get a poor husband than rich one because, while a man doesn t mind sharing his poverty, somehow he prefers to keep his money to himself.
 That wan look about husband which his wife notices on her return from her summer vacation is not always symptom of brain flag ac- quired by thinking of her.
 Nothing will make man feel so conscientious about the folly of carrying on an old Irritation as sudden interest in a new one.

PINE BLUFF MAY SUFFER
SERIOUS LOSS BY FLOOD

Should the water break through the
bank what would be the result. is, Of
course, largely matter of conjecture,
but, based on what has happened in
past years, it seems certain that sew
eral streets, lined with business houses
and u mile long would be destroyed.
peculiar combination of circum-
stances has caused this situation. The
river here comes sweeping due south
ant fA= eisatest strikes full on the
bank at the heart of the city. Then
the water turns at right angles and
onto the east. The force with which
the current strikes is difficult to tell.
Those who are watching the river front
can readily see how it is eating away
the banks.
To add to the seriousness of the sit
nation is the fact that the city of Pine
Bluff is built upon quicksand. This
strata of sand lies under some 30 feet
of clay mixed with sand. The river
current comes sweeping against the
banks and, sucking at the sand, under
mines the covering of clay.
The operation goes on ceaselessly
and unless a way is found to stop
il, it will continue until the river eats
away circle large enough to dis
tribute its flood so the banks can re-
sist its force.

means at their disposal the independence
and integrity of China. and the principle
of equal opportunity for commerce and
industry of all nations in that empire.
IS. Should any event occur threaten
ing the status quo as above described,
or the principle of equal opportunity as
above defined, it remains for the two
governments to communicate with each
other in order to arrive at an under
standing as to what measures they may
consider it useful to take"
Ambassador Takahira, in a statement
issued subsequent to the making public
of the notes, declared they We're simply
a reaffirmation of what was declared by
the tkwo governments years ago. 1t was
something like transaction between
trusted friends"
The Ambassador added:
AS will be seen in their wording, the
notes are simply in the form of dec
laration and are not treaty or agree
ment. They are simply a reaffrmation
of what was declared by the two go-
ernlnents years ago, or a definition of the
understanding already existing. 1t IL,
however, to be noted that the notes
which are exchanged between govern
ments of such moral standing as those
of the United States and Japan will have
great influence in the carrying out of
their common policy"
The substance of the declaration was
furnished in advance Of its signing to the
various governments interested in Chin
ese affairs and cordial responses of SYM
pathy and support came from them.

Pine Bluff, Ark, December 1.-While
appealing as last recourse to Pres
ident Roosevelt that permission be
granted to cut through government
levee and change the course of the
Arkansas river, leaving Pine Bluff
high and dry" but safe, every avail
able man in this city will be put to
work strengthening already crumbling
banks until tho crest Of 1e-fe 9SH7r
passes this point, probAnis af0nes-
day night in an effort TO prevent an
overflow which would mean the de-
struction of property valued at hun
dreds of thousands of dollars and pos
sibly loss of life. Whether these eff
forts will be successful is problemati
cal.
Late today a message appealing to
President Roosevelt was sent, but even
should the necessary authority no Y
be granted, it is thought the water is
rising too rapidly to permit the sue
cessful carrying out of the plan.
Reliance to ward off the water is be-
ing placed in "fascine" mats, built of
small pine and willow trees reinforced
by mud and debris. which are being
anchored in the river at points along
the banks considered the weakest and
where the force of the waters will be
felt.
Tonight the river has passed the 15-
foot stage and at it's crest stage of
26 feet is anticipated The food is 20
feet and with the banks in their pres
ent weakened condition because of the
recent high water and the rains of the
past few days the result, when the full
force is felt, cannot be foretold. That
great property loss will ensue seems
certain, however.
Tonight large section of land 30
feet north of the walls of the county
courthouse and Jefferson hotel, each
valued at 100000, is slowly disappear
ing into the river and warehouses
along the bank which have already
been partly wrecked are tottering and
may fall at any moment.

THIS MAN STOLE
ANOTHER'S BRAINS

Washington, December 1.-The selection
of jury having been completed, the trial
of John A. Heaney, an inventor of York,
Pa and Henry e. Everding, a patent at
torney of Philadelphia, was begun in
criminal court here today. The defendants
are charged with conspiracy, in connec-
ton with Ned w. Barton, formerly an as
sstant examiner in the patent office. and
who yesterday pleaded guilty, in appro-
priating the invention of another and ap-
plying the ideas to a patent application
in which they we're interested.
District Attorney Atkins opened for the
government and told the jury upon the
authenticity of typewriter sheets the
whole case agaiia the defendants hinged

washington, December 1.-The notes
exchanged between the United States and
Japan declaring their policy in the far
east" which have been the subject OF
correspondence between Secretary OF
state Root and Ambassador Takahira for
some months, were made public at the
state department tonight. Accompany
ing the declaration are two letters, one
from Mr.. Takahira and one from Mr.
Root. the former expressing the belief
that a frank avowal of the aims, policies
and intentions of the two countries in the
Pacific would not only tend to strengthen
the relations of friendship and good
neighborbood between the two nations,
but would materially contribute to the
preservation of the general peace and
the latter declaring that this expression
of mutual understanding Is welcome to
the government of the United States
Each letter, in which is included the
declaration, is dated November 90 the
dav on which the exchanges took place.
The text of these letters was contained
In the Associated Press dispatches from
London today. The four separate notes
in explicit terms are as follows:
a 1t is the wish of the two govern
ments to encourage the free and peace
full development of their commerce on
the Pacific ocean.
20. The policy of both governments,
uninfluenced by any aggressive tenden-
cies, is directed to the maintenance Of
the existing statu quo in the region above
mentioned, and to the defense of the
principle of equal opportunity for COM
merce and industry in China.

solved reciprocally to respect the terri
torial possessions belonging to each other

No Action Can Be Taken.

Washington, December THAT it
will be impossible for the federal gov
ernment to take any definite action per-
hitting the diverting of the Arkansas
river in time to affect the present flood
conditions, was the belief expressed
at the war department today. There 1t
was pointed out that the department
could only act on a definite proposition
for diverting the course and that no
such proposition has been received
General Marshall, chief of engineers
of the army, today, replying to the
request of Mayor Tooney and others of
Pine Bluff, Ark, for permission to> di-
vert the Arkansas river, telegraphed
that he knew nothing of the condition
existing there and therefore could
take no action. 1t is understood that
If any project for the diversion of the
river is to be made effective, it must
be properly drawn and approved in due
form.
