JAPANESE GAMES
"Go" Is Most Complicated Board
 Game

Berlin, April S.-(Special.) )-Though Japan has adopted many western games in conjunction with other fruits of civ:li- zation, it must be supposed that she does not possess games of her own.
 Go, originally a Chinese pastime, has for centuries been the most popular of j the indoor pastimes of the Japanese It is very different frcm the simple game known to Europeans as go-bang, which was introduced into England some 20 years ago.
 In fact go is the most complicated board game known to civilized man. It is played on square wooden board. Nineteen straight lines, crossing each other at right angles, make 361 crosses at the point of intersection. These may be occupied by 1s0 white and 1S1 black "stones." The object of the game, as oe- scribed by MT. Horace F. Cheshire be- fore meeting of the Japan society fast night, is to enclose these crosses, and to capture as many of the adversary S men as possible. There are nine spots on the board, called seimoka, supposed to represent the chief celestial bodies, while the white and black men represent day and night and the number of crosses the S60 degrees of latitude, exclusive of the central one, which is called Taikyoku,

 Aiuiey Hafids 62d son was born ''re- centy," and as two Sultanas have died in childbirth, his Shereefan majesty wishes to have a good nurse always in the palace.
 According to Dr. Garcia Belengues, the Sultan is not so cruel as is constantly reported. On the contrary he is a man of good instincts and kindly disposition.

MRS. GAIT WILL
 GET AN OVATION

| Copenhagen April s.-(Special)-Th women of Norway, Sweden and Denmark intend that the visit of Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt, the noted American suf- fragist, to Scandinavia shall be notable period in her life. Mrs. Catt is now here making preparations for the meeting of the International Womans Suffrage con- gress, of which she is president and which is to be held this summer in Stock holm.
 The noted American leader will be the guest of the suffrage league here and will then go to Norway and Finland to study the condition of the suffragists in those countries. The political condition of woman is more advanced in Norway and Finland than anywhere in Europe. | The fact that women may and do act as members of the national legislatures in both these countries puts them ahead of even the advanced states in America.
 There is a report current here that former President Roosevelt is to pay a visit to Denmark later in the year. He will be accorded most cordial welcome here if he comes. He Is still the most popular man in America so far as the Danish people are concerned.
