EULOGY OF MIR. TAFT
ROOSEVELT PUTS OUT ANOTHER
 DOCUMENT.
The Presidens's Opinion of the Presi- dent-eiect Wiu Be Issued to
 Visitors as an "Inaug-
 uruI Souyemir."

Washington, Feb 24.-The remark able feature of the inaugural souve- nir'' issued by the committee In charge of the inaugural ceremonis ts biographical sketch of President-eiect Taft by Prsident Roosevelt.
 It haE peculiar significance in view of rumors published to the effect that friction existed between Roosevelt and Taft. The keynote of the Presidents sketch may be found Tn these words:
 No man of better training, no man of more dauntless courage. of common sense and higher character. has ever come to the Presidency than William Howard Taft
 The President, in concise terms. pre- cedes this statement with history of the President-eiect touching simply upon hIs public achievements. In one place, he says. referring to Taft as Solicitor General:
 He won an enviable reputation and succeeded to a remarkable degree in combining entire fearlessness in stat ing and upholding his own convic- tions with the ability to avoid giving needless offense to those whose con- victions differ from his. It is one of MT. Taft's great gifts of usefulness that he possesses exactly the ability unffinchingly to stand by the right and yield to do 1t with the minimum of offensiveness toward those who do not see matters as clearly as he does."
 The President refers to MT. Taft judicial record, saying:
 .It fell to MT. Taft to decide a number of cases in which he blazed in advance the trail that all our judges must, in the end, follow. This was notably the case both as to corpora tions and to the rights of labor"

WAR INEVITABLE
DUMA LEADERS SAY RUSSIA MUST
 FIGHT AUSTRIA.
People VIII Force Her Into Balkan Campaign As Soon As vienna Sends Troops Into
 seryrfa

St. Petersburg, Feb. a4--The pessim- ism regarding the Balkan crisis is steadily deepening in diplomatic cir cles, where 1t is believed that Austrian action against Servia may be expected within a fortnight, unless a solution to the present grave problem is soon ar ranged.
 Foreign once officials state that Russia Is not disposed to consider an invasion of Servia alone as a casus belli, but there Is fear that the gov ernment's hand may be forced. under such circumstances, by popular feel ing. The beginning of hostilities would throw thousands of Russian volunteers into the Servian ranks.
 The Duma leaders who visited the Foreign office today said that war Is inevitable Information received to- day indicates that the Kiev depart ment is ready for instant mobiiiza- tion.
 The Novoe vreyma, today publishes a spirited repl yto what it describes as Austrian and German threats" Tho paper says:
 We and our ancestors more than once have had foreign conquerors on our soil, and the bones of several hum dred thousand remain as the only evil dence of their rash attempts to assail the integrity of Russian territory. We do not want war with any one. but we do not fear war and we will not be intimidated by empty phrases. IT Austria Hungary and Germany attack ed Russia they would not have to deal with her alone"

Germanx in Calm

Berlin, Feb 24.-There is no reason to believe that an outbreak of war be- tween Austria and Servia is imminent according to the-vfew held in the most authoritative semi-official circles. The alarm is the reports are regarded as being much exaggerated. It Is admit ted. however, that the situation Is not clearSand will remain clouded until those powers which, like France are striving to maintain peace, make their voices heard at St. Petersburg and in- duce Russia to notify Belgrade that in khe event of war, Servia cannot rely upon either direct or indirect Russian support.
 The real key to the situation is for the moment. Russia. whose decision< is eagerly awaited.
 The Sued Deutsche Reichsk orespon- denz which is considered Chancellor von Buelow's organ. says:
 'aThe Oriental situation Is momenta- rily controlled by the position which the powers have taken up. The ques- ton is whether and how, third pow CTS should act so as to prevent an open breach by Vienna and Belgrade Happily on the main point no differ ence exists. The demands of big Ser via for an extension of territory to the Adriatic and European autonomy for Bosnia and Herzegovina are impos- sibe of fulfillment without war. Ser vian statesmen know that well. Per haps they would not be disappointed If as many powers as possible without threats. pointed out a reasonable view of the affair which they could then pre- sent to the excited elements in Ser via"

Congratulations From Japan.

Tokio. Feb. 2f.-Special dispatches describing at length the reception of the American battleship fleet on it's arrival at Hampton Roads after its world girdling voyage. have been printed in the Japanese newspapers ac- companied by congratulatoTy editori- als.
 The Jiji which represents the high est thought in Japan says:
 The voyage of the American fleet has created a new epoch in the naval history of the world. The warships were greeted Tn every port and every country as messengers of peace. Their trip is especially notable as mark ing the creation of new epoch in the re- Iations between Japan and the United States"
 Japan, The Jiji says:
 "We extend congratulations to the officers and men of the American fleet who recently were the guests of Ja- pan. They have learned something of the real Japan and we trust will be the redium of spreading a better feeling between the two nations and serve to prevent renewal of the anti-Japanese talk heard recently in the United States.
 The cable dispatches telling of the safe arrival of the fleet at Hampton Roads bring recollections of many pleasant days enjoyed during its stay here. All Japan joins in sending con- gratulations.'
 Similar sentiments are expressed by all the other newspapers.

How to Roduco Fat
 Proportlo nately

Proportion is the thing. A fat wo- man yearns to reduce her abdomen, but she doesn't want to produce . scrawny neck. This fact condemns the dieting method of reducing. You can't starve the fat of one place and not on another. Simply impossible. But why try dieting. or even exercising, when there is a better way of reducing fat than either.
 Try the following: One-baif ounce Marmola. 1-2 ounce Fluid Extract Cas- cara Aromatic, 31-2 ounces Pepper mint Water. Any druggist will fill the above cheaply. Take a teaspoonful af- ter meals and at bedtime and see If In few weeks you are not losing about pound a day-not from places where you are normally plump. but from those that arc overly fat.
