PROPOSES AMERICAN ALLIANCE
RUSSIAN PAPER DISCUSSES AT.
FAIRS IN FAR EAST.
With the United States
Suggested to Defend the Sovereign
Rights of China.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 3.-The NJ
voc Vremya today publishes edt-
torial article on Russo-Chinese rela-
tfons. in which 1t urges an understand
ing with the United States in far east
ern affairs and close corporation ot
the powers interested in maintaining
the independence and territorial in
tegrity of China.
Attention is called to tho Russian
policy In Korea prior TO 1896. whils
working with America for the defense
and Independence OF Korea, particu-
larly the defeat of Japanese designs I'm
Korea after the China-Japanese war.
and thanks for this cooperation arc
given. A contrast is then made with
the utter failure of the Russian repre-
Sentatives when they abandoned this
course and attempted To play a lone
hand in Korea.
The editorial. which is based on re-
ports that China is about to follow tho
example of Japan and seek the aholi-
ton of extra-territorial restrictions,
then declares that Russia should so far
as possible support the Chinese govern
ment in this direction. inasmuch IA
Russian interests would be but little
affected. 1t lays down as two cardinal
principles of the Russian policy the
unremitting defense of the sovereign
rights of China against all encroach-
ments whencesoever they may como
and sincere and systematic support or
the reform movement in China.

Campanile of st. Marks.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The Campanile of ST. Marks has now
reached such height as to make an al
most startling object lesson on the ter
ribly prosaic state Of hardness, tightness,
smoothness. novelty and rigid repair in
which the ages Of antiquity possessed tine
buildings we hold venerable. 1t is a per-
feet facsimile of the original belfry tower
of which the fall gave shock to all
hearts; and that beautiful tower, before
it FELL had surface, sweetness, All i'm
perceptible disintegration which was the
bloom of time. A random touch of green
lodged between its bricks, thanks to the
almost hideous disappointment, and looks
factory.
Is 1t ever possible, or desirable, to re-
peat the past? But one thing is worth re-
peating. and that is the hour, struck by
a public clock. This, too, is q lesson to
be learned at st. Marks. The two bronze
men on the top Of the clock tower have
each hammer, and make separate an
nouncements-a minute apart-of the
time. to the very great convenience of
citizens. Who has not, in hearing of less
considerate clocks, complained of having
possibly missed the first stroke or two?
In Venice. whatever his inattention or
striking, he makes sure of the second.
And at the last stroke, moreover. out
come the three Wise Men, and make
their bow to the sweet Madonna and
Child. 1t is not only the children of
Venice that stand to stare at the pretty
puppet show that has performed for some
four centuries.

The battle of Horseshoe Bend, which in
1914 opened to the white man one of the
most fertile sections of the country, was
commemorated here today with speeches
and an oid-fashioned barbecue, inaugu-
rating a movement for a national memo
rial of the battlefield This battle was
one Of the many stirring exploits OF
hardy Tennesseeans in their memorable
campaigns against the Indians. March
p. 1914. the Creek Indians gathered in
their fortified town of Tohopeka In great
numbers and opposed the approach of
5000 whites led by Gen. Jackson.
Artillery fire. assaults from in front and
rear. the burning Of their village, and
finally hand-to- hand encounter on the
Notifications, where thirty-two Tennes-
seeans persisted. dispersed the Indians.
1t Is proposed, through a commission
appointed by Gov Conner of Alabama, TO
urge Congress to set aside the picturesque
bend as a national park. Representative
Hef1in of Alabama already has introduced
a bill for the purpose. Gov. Conner was
the orator of the occasion today.

CHARGES TO BE REFERRED.
Against Assistant Su-
perintendent Bruce.

Little attention has been paid by the
board of education to the charges filed
by an association of colored citizens
tendent in charge of colored schools.
A member of the board declared this
morning that he had great confidence in
Mr. Bruce, that practically all Of the
drastic changes in the colored schools
which the assistant superintendent re-
Gently recommended We're approved by
the board. and that the one now held up
being investigated further. Supt Stuart
has declared that he has the utmost con-
fidence in his assistant superintendent
Capt. James F. Oyster, president of
the Dbard of education, declared this
morning that the charges would be re-
ferred to the attorney for the board when
he is selected. Stuart Mcnamara, for
mer assistant United States attorney,
was the legal adviser of the board. but
the District attorney severed his rela-
tionship with the board. District Attor-
ney Baker is out of the city. and it is
predicted no attorney for the school
board will be appointed until his return
next week.
After the receipt by the board of edu-
cation Of the charges Asst. Supt. Bruce
handed to President Oyster the copy of
d letter which he received from the
ian, which practically sets forth the
charges. This letter declares that the
writer of the article has learned since
it's publication that some of his facts
were wrong and that he asks the editor
of the paper to make correction.

Efigy.

The students of the summer school of
the University of Virginia will this even
ing present an immense historical pa
torical characters and of events of the
ginia and of other southern states repre-
scented i'm the school,
The pageant will be- in the form of a
procession one thousand strong, headed
by Sir Walter Raleigh and good Queen
Bess. with their pages and ladies in
waiting. 1t will be arranged group by
group, in chronological order, so as to
tell the story of Capt. John Smith and
his followers landing at Cape Henry, the
treaty with the Indians and of many
other happenings which are now the
precious heritage of Virginia and of
the country at large.
The procession will pass In review be-
fore a party of the four Presidents
Washington, Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe-with their ladies.
President Alderman has expressed deep
interest, and hopes the pageant will be
the forerunner of one to be presented at
the one hundredth anniversary of the
University of Virginia in 1919.
The pageant is under the management
of Miss Mari r. Hofer of Columbia Uni
versity, New York. Miss Hofer has had
large experience along these lines. She
has been chosen to train 10000 school
children who are to participate in the
Hudson Fulton tercentenary in the fall.
Washington is represented at the sum-
mer school by DR.. William Carl Ruedi-
ger of George Washington University
and Miss Elizabeth v. Brown, director
of primary instruction, members of the
faculty, and by several teachers who are
doing extension work as students-Misses

wHARvEs ON THE ANAcosT1A.
Many Applications Made for Per
mits to Build.

That the river front along the Ana
costa river is fast developing CONNER
cially is shown by the number of appli-
cations for permission to build wharves
along that stream filed with the wharf
committee at the District building.
Within the past few days applications
have been made for the construction of
three wharves along the Anacostia river
in the vicinity of Q and r streets. The
wharf committee has recommended ia
vorable action on the applications by the
Commissioners, with the proviso that the
Distric: does not recognize the rights of
individuals to wharf frontage If it should
be determined by subsequent proceedings
that the title to the same is vested in
the United States or the District govern
ments.
The title to the land along the Ana
costa river front is under investigation
at the present time, the last District ap-
preparation act containing an appropria-
ton of 5000 for the purpose. The work
will probably be done by commission
appointed by the Commissioners.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has RevOlutiOnized the
Treatment of Skin Diseases.

Nothing in the history Of medicine has ever
approached the success OF the marvellous skin
remedy known poslam, which. 1t is safe 10
say has cured more cases % eczema and skin
diseases than any remedy ever offered for these
Ills.
The success OF poslan is not at all surprising
when it is considered that even a very small
quantity applied to the skin stops itching imme-
diately and cures chronic cases in two weeks
The very worst cases of eczema, well
acne, herpes. letter, piles. salt rheum. rash.
crusted humdrs, scaly scalp and every form
of itch, yield to it readily. Blemishes such as
pimples. red noses muddy and infamed skin dis
appear almost immediately when poslam is ap-
plied. the complexion being cleared overnight.
Every druggist keeps both the 50-cent size flor
minor troubles, and the 81 jar, and either OF
these may be obtained In Washington at Ogram's.
oDonnelIs, Ahieck's and the Peoples Drug
Store. as well other reliable drug stores
But no one Is even asked to purchase poslam
without first obtaining experimental package
which will be sent by mail, free of charge upon
request, by the Emergency Laboratories, 81 West
