THE ALARMIsTs


The following letter Is sent 10 the
New York Evening Post by George
II. Benjamin Of New York, for publ
cation.

Price Collier in his letter published
in your paper as to why Mr. Rogers
statement OF the possibility of war
with Japan should not receive cred

diNit that war is not to he expected
becau Japan has gigantic tasks IN
F0rmosa, Korea. Manchuria- has a
burdenspme debt, and is threatened
by two hundred thousand Russian
s5iiiers. Mr Collier evidently has
failed to observe the pertMency OF
these conditions,
Recently I received a letter from
a prominent banker in Japan-one
well known in this country in which
be says ! am worried about the
conditions of ny country. Japan is
suffering from her inordinately rap

which they are suffering 10 the gov

Anyone who will take a glance al

Of Japans debt. the dimensions or

Vagrant Verse
Illusion.

Only ripple Of music
That drlrs DER the upland slope,
Only an e no that fingers
A heart that is filled with hope.
Only a voice that is calling
In tones that are siren sweet,
Only beckoning mirage
A climbing of earth-bound feet
Only a vision Of beauty
And brightness and flowers a.bloom,
Only long, steep journey
That leads through the gathering
gloom.
II Aasfz
Only wanderer fearless.
A-thrll with dear desire,
Only a soul that is dauntless
And hopes that to heaven aspirel
Rough grows the perllous pathway
The wind is a chilling blast;
Bravely the climber tolls onward
Attained is the summit at last
But where is the glistening mirage
Aglow with its flowers fart
Only the dark and desert
Lying trackless and grim and barel
Only a prayer that is murmu'ed
And suppliant tears that are shed;
Only the wind and It's echo
Only hope that is dead

WAsTEFUL MANAGEMENT

that no business In the. world Is manf
aged III such prodigal and waeteiui
way as the railroad business and
that il Is not fair TO ask the pubic
to pay the cost OF thls management
which Is The present proposal. U.s.
ually when a business Is managed ~
wasteful way Il fails or falls into
other hands, until bad Methods are
eliminated, and profit takes the place

as proper expense in The fixing OF

Eggs That Have Been Preserved For

When II Hung Chang made bis tour
Of the world his eommesariat car
rled with It supply Of Chinese pre-

eggs were exhibited IN New York
while he was staying here, and a few
experts had the temerity to sample
them, "They were not so bad after
ALL" was the verdict Of one American
connoisseur, although by their looks
you would think they would come UNI

danger OF breaking them When

The flavor, however. was preserved.
The Chinese chop these preserved

largely into all their sauces.
Duck eggs are also preserved by the
