young man when they go about signing

all the time they haven't sense enough to

MO more striking instance of the growth

sal peace could be found than the recep-
tion accorded in England to two peace
missionaries who are at present in Lon

Britain with their message. From Eng
land they intend to go through Europe
and thence to Japan and Australia.
George Beadle is a Detroit man and
Inui is also a graduate of the Michigan
University and his ideas on the relations
of the nations are largely the result OF
American influence. He is the vice presi-
dent of the Great Lakes Arbitration So
ciety and esteems 1t an honor to be able
to speak for United States citizens In
Europe. George Beadle is largely occupied
in organizing this tour so as to give his
colleague more time to devote to lecturing,
writing and other forms Of propaganda. Up
till the present Mr.. Inui has spoken at
big meetings in Liverpool. Manchester.

step SO thoroughly in accord with the
feelings Of the people as In commencing
negotiations with the United States for

Mr.. Inui finds 1t more difficult to make

any of us women to pause, consider

The young men themselves. when con-
suited as to the possible cause of their
abstention from this form of duty, put
forth various and sundry reasons ex-
cuses, remarks and other addenda to the

Il was srtt-ng along ate in the evening when the first was discovered by one of the party. This was in the Cata- mount swamp, and the only dog they had with them gave chase. The dog ran the coon for some time until it was noticed that there was another coon along side of the first one. The dog which was making much head way on the animals finally succeeded in running them up a tree. Soon the hunters were at the place where the coons were treed and the fun of shoot ing them was started. It was some time before they noticed that instead of two coons there were now three, all sitting high in the tree and look ing about as though no one was look ing al them at all. It didn't take long before shots were heard and the three fell to the ground dead. It was late in the morning when the tired crowd got home
