TOO CONSPICUOUS IN COLOR
United States Will No Longer Have Grey Horses in It's Cavalry
 Regiments.

The gray charger, long an inspira- tion for the poets of chivalry, Is now passe. So say the high officials of the war department who look after the purchase of horses for the United States cavalry.
 He may be just as vigorous, intelli- gent and faithful as his brothers of another color. but he's too conspicu- ous, they tell us. too apt to got his $200 hide filled with lead. So he has to go. Horsemen of the National stock yards can no longer sell grays to the government, which they main tain Is bad business all round.
 Uncle Sam formerly owned $240, 900 worth of horses of this color. One troop in every regiment was known as the Gray Troop" But on inves- tigation the department decided that so much money In living targets was bad investment. for in these days of high-power rifles the gray troop would be shining mark for the in- fantry of the enemy before the bays and blacks and browns and sorrels could get close enough to be distin- guished from the scenery.

 We like life in Peru" said Mir. Tay- Tor. While my office Is in Callao, l live in Lima. Callao is the seaport, a place of about 35.000 population. while Lima. seven miles distant, has a popu- lation of 150000. We are Ii degrees south of the equator, so that this is their summer, but it is never very hot there. They get the sea breeze and It rarely gets over S5 degrees Fahren- heit. while the lowest temperature is about 65. Of course, frost never oc- rurs there.
 The climate is one of perpetual sunshine. It never rains. All agricul- tural operations must be carried on by means of irrigation. Peruvian girl came up to Panama with me- and though she vas almost woman, she had never seen rain. When we en- countered a thunderstorm fin Panama she was badly frightened.

FAVOR KNOYS PLAN
SEcRETARY's SUGGESTION RE. GARDiNG ARBITRAL COURT
 WELL RECEIVED.
NO DEFINITE ANSWERS yE,
But Principal European Nations Ar, Considering the PropositIon--Dlp mats Recognize Its importance ta international Peace.

Washington, Jan. 13.-State depart ment officials have received with much satisfaction in the last few days tid. ings leading them to believe that sev. eral of the principal powers of Europe are considering favorably Secretary Knox's proposal to the nations looking to the establishment of permanent. international court of arbitral justice.
 While no formal or definite answers have been received to the joint noto addressed to the powers, diplomats here and abroad recognize the great importance of the proposition from ar international standpoint.
 In discussing the scope and jurisdic. ton of the proposed court, a state department official familiar with the plan explained today that it was no. the intention directly to supplant the International prize court established as result of the second Hague con- ference; nevertheless he made 1t clear that had the court been thoroughly satisfactory in it's operation a new court would not have been suggested.
 The so-called permanent court a. at present constituted Is merely a panel of judges, and experience is held to have shown that the selection of these judges is a very difficult task. Besides that, the tribunal, when con stituted, decides only the particular case submitted to 1t, and with that decision passes out of existence A new case requires a new tribunal.
 The present prize court is of linn. ited jurisdiction, and it's very existence pre-suppcses the existence of war; for 1t Is only in time of war that neutral property can be captured and con fscated. The acceptance by the na- tions of Secretary Knox's proposal would, it is urged, endow the world with It's first truly permanent inter- national tribunal, sitting permanently and adequate to decide the contro- versies arising in the circumstances either of peace or of war.
 Secretary Knoxs proposal is simply o enlarge the scope and character of he prize court. Although the court 'ould have no power to enforce its decisions, experience is cited as show ing that international arbitration awards have always been accepted by the parties. and 1t is argued that a permanent court of arbitration would surely have the support of the public opinion of the world

Christian HurIaIs at Jerusalem.

Until about fifty years ago Chris. uans iI Jerusalem. and Franciscans as well. were buried without coffin, tho latter simply in the habit of the order. At the grave the hood of the deceased was sewed shut over his face, and thus he was bedded in the earth. Tha former burial place of the Catholics was in the valley of the Cedron along. side the Garden of Gethsemane at tho foot of the Mount of Olives. where tho Jews are still buried to-day. Only a century ago new churchyard was laid out on Mount Sion. the place where King David and his success
 prs are still buried. The exact spot is unknown, although many attempts have been made to find it. An old tradition says that about the fifth cen. tury some workmen accidentally pen. strated this vault. They looked in and saw the magnificent sarcophagi, but in trying to enter the chambers of the dead they were repulsed by flames of fire bursting forth from with. in The frightened workmen closed the entrance to the vault, the exact location of which has been forgotten
