did that perfect day in December
when under the sapphire blue of a
cloudless Virginia sky they pointed
their eventful way to the Pacific
coast.
Upon their arrival here the officers
and men of the fleet will get the first
notes of a welcome that will ring
throughout the entire west. The three
seacoast cities, San Diego, Los An
geles and San Francisco, which will
be visited IN the order named, are
vieing with one another in their plans
for entertaining the fleet.
They seem to realize that Port OF
Spain, Rio, Punta Arenas and Callao
have set mark for hospitality which
it will be difficult to surpass, but the
return to native shores and the
familiar sights and sounds of home
will be marked by the most elaborate
receptions and demonstrations the en-
thusiastic residents of the coast can
devise.
The coming of the feet is looked for
ward to as a memorable occasion. and
plans to run excursions from interior
cities as far east as Chicago are under

Wife Summoned by Barking of the
FamiI. Pet and Is Led to
Her Husband in
Wagon

Special to The Herald.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March S.
John MacMaster, a farmer living near
this point, was saved from death by
sagacious dog, one of the pets of his
family, according to the incident re-
lated by a member of his household.
Returning from marketing at near
by town early one morning last week
MacMaster became numbed by the Sc
we're cold and fell into a comatose con-
dition.
Mrs. MacMaster was waiting for the
arrival of her husband and prepared
breakfast for him. She went out to
listen for the sound of his wagon She
sent Bob. the dog, to find his master.
Run up the road and see what's
keeping your master. Bob" she said.
1t was o'clock. The dog ran away
barking, but soon returned, scratching
at the door of the MacMaster house.
Mrs. MacMaster ran to the door in
alarm. whats the matter, Bob?" she
asked the whining animal. In answer
the dog ran toward the gate.
Dog Leads to the Rescue
In alarm Mrs. MacMaster hastily
threw on heavy wraps and followed
Bob up the road. After walking about
three-quarters of mile she found her
husband sitting in the, seat of his
wagon fast falling into the sleep of
death under the icy touch of the cold.
Mrs. MacMaster climbed into the
seat of the wagon and tried to revive
her husband. She took the reins out of
his benumbed fingers and drove the
wagon rapidly to the house, where she
worked for a quarter of an hour over
the unconscious form of her husband.
At the end of that time she succeeded
in reviving him, but it was over an
hour before the latter was able to
stand on his feet, so far gone had he
fallen under the influence OF the intense
cold.
When able to relate his experience
MacMaster said that he had stopped his
horse, intending to get out of the
wagon and walk, in order to ward off
the benumbing influence of the stupor
into which he had found himself fall
ing. But he could not get out of the
wagon. He heard his dog barking
when the latter found him, but was un-
able to shout to the dog.
But / knew he'd gone for help when
he ran off barking toward the house"
MacMaster said, patting the head Of
the faithful animal.

TOXIC, March 9. 10:SO a. n1.-There
were no developments throughout sun
dav or today in connection with the
Tatsu affair. In the meanwhile Japan
is undoubtedly preparing for event.
ualiies-
The entire decision in the matter
rests with Premier Saionji and Foreign
Minister Hayashi. There has been no
indication of the period of time that
japan would wait for China's reply.
It is presumed that Yuan Shi Kai
win require three or perhaps four days
consultation with the viceroy of Can
ION in the consideration of the entlre
matter. consequently no decision may
be reached before March 10 or IL.
What action Japan will take in the
event that she decides Immediately 10

of speculation in diplomatic circles III
Toxic
It is believed that it is entirely inn
probable that Japan will make any
effort to retake the Tatsu or send war
ships to Canton waters. While war is
considered most improbable, the naval
base at Sasebo is extremely active.
II is announced that part OF the
first squadron will leave port Marcn a.
The armored cruiser Chiyoda suddenly
left port last night. Coaling is pro-
ceeding rapidly, number of torpedo
boat destroyers having already coaled.
Enormous supplies in storage at
Sasebo are being hurried aboard the
vessels.
At the office of the admiralty it is
pointed out that the first squadron ex-
pected to start on training maneuvers
this week fact announced two
months ago. therefore the activity at
Sasebo should not necessarily be 2on-
sidered in connection with the Tatsu
incident.
LONDON, March s.--A special dis
patch received here states that China
has apologized to Japan for hauling
down the Japanese flag when the
steamship Tatsu Maru was seized.
The dispatch further states that
China will later reply to the Japanese
government regarding the seizure of
the steamer and it's cargo.

GIRLS WITH ELBOW
SLEEVES REBUKED BY
COLLEGE PRESIDENT
Professor Seeks the Aid of Woman
Teacher to oueIl the Daring
Fashion of "ArmIess
Waist"

At one of the busiest colleges of Los
Angeles a problem recently came up TO
be settled which was q perplexity and
grower of wrinkles for the staid and
solid president of that prosperous insti-
tuition.
Young men and women attend the
college and study such terrible things
as shorthand and bookkeeping, account
Ing and handwriting.
More than this. they take typewrit-
ing.
And 1t was in the echo of the rapid
keyboard that the voice of trouble was
heard.
ticed as the mild days began to come
on--even in early spring California has
sunny, warm days, as tourists can tes-
tify-the young women began to COM
plain of their sleeves.
Now the elbow sleeve being in fashion
anyway, it was not long before the
typewriting class was stripped to the
elbow--that is, the feminine portion.
And the president confided to one Of
his most intimate advisers on the teach
ing force that he began to fear he was
running young woman's boxing class
Feared to Glide Girls
But the president, although a first
class business man and most excel
position of the millionaire-afraid of-his-
stenographer. He feared to childe the
Amazonian students for their gymlike
appearance.
So the shirt waists grew more and
more armless, and the sleeves didn't
even find the elbow.
The college boasts of the prettiest
stenographic students in all Los An
geles, and the athletic brunette with
TIE elbow like tennis champion, and
the pretty blonde with dimples like the
face OF an apple pie were wearing
waists which closely resembled the
bathing costumes at Venice In mid
August.
And the noon hour at the college
ford.
The word popularity cannot de-
scribe the social life of the institution,
which became the center of calls from
all the young fellows for blocks
around 1t.
Finally the president called to his
aid a teacher who had herself gained
great popularit. in the school through
her ability as a teacher and for her
Square deal" with the students.
There was no gum chewing girl or
cigarette sucking youth but secretly
feared her word of authority as well.
Consequently, when the president
heard her reaSSure MIN tnal sne Woulu
take those half arm punches" In
hand he sighed with relief.
Girls" quotil this teacher in class
room the following morning, the elbow
sleeves were made for stenographers.
They are boon to typewriters. But,
girls"
And every eye was trained on her
face as the guns of the Evanss' fleet
at target practice.
But, girls-stop at the elbows"
And next day the feminine contin-
gent. including the athletic brunette
and the dimpling blonde, came to col
lege so heavily apparelled as to the
arms that they looked like an Esqui-
maux sewing circle or a bunch of harem
beauties smothered In robes for walk
through the public street.
And the grateful president got up
on his financial stepladder and raised
that teachers income peg OF two
northward.

IRISH FIGHT
NE TREATY
OPPOSE BRITISH : AMERICAN
AGREEMENT
State Department Receives Many
Communications Protesting
Against Negotia-
~tions

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March S.-Irish OPP
position, which 1t is asserted defeated
the arbitration treaty negotiated by
Secretary Olney and Lord Pauncefote
twelve years ago, now nlenaces the
new arbitration treaty which has been
evolved by Secretary Root and Ambas-
sador Bryce.
Already the state department has
been deluged with remonstrances and
protests from Irish patriotic organi-
cations, all directed against the new
convention.
Moreover, this opposition has devel-
oped before anything specific as to
the nature and scope of the new treaty
has been made known officially.
There has been nothing more than
a reference to the subject in the Brit
ish parliament, and some statements
in explanation based on that declara-
ton in American newspapers. So the
protestants are in the singular posi-
ton of directing their fire without
knowledge Of the enemy. for it may
be that the new convention is drawn
upon lines that free 1t from the OBJ
lection made to the Olney-Paunce-
fote convention.
In that. case, it was alleged that
America stood in danger of losing ter
ritory as a result of an adverse arbi-
tration. In the present instance, while
the rule of the state departments pre-
vents the publication of any details, it
is the understanding of the officials
of the state department that the same
objection would not lie for the limi-
tations are so narrow that there is
no danger that questions involving
the integrity of territory can ever be
drawn into arbitration against the
will of our government.
The protests so far received at the
state department also show a lack of
understanding of the nature of the
treaty which binds Great Britain and
Japan together. In the protests fear
is expressed that America will find
herself confronted by a combined Brit
ish and japanese fleet In the event of
any serious issue arising between the
United States and Japan.
Indeed, some of the petitions quote
from a speech of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
the Canadian premier. January % last,
prophecy that combined fleet might
some day be expected to drop anchor
in Vancouver harbor. But as the Brit
ihs-Japanese compact is understood at
the state department. there is no OBJ
legation whatever upon Great Britain
to support her ally with arms except In
the remote contingency that a third
nation should undertake to possess it.
self of Japanese territory.
Therefore the officials are quite con-
WINGED that the opposition to the new
treaty is based upon wrong concep-
ton of conditions. But they are, new
ertheless, aprehensive that through ig-
norance the ratification of the treaty
may be jeopardized
