ospINA RESIGNS HIS POSITION.
Knox Has Not Yet Answered Colombia's
Cordial Invitation.

! Washington, d. c., Feb 26.-The Co
| lombian incident was closed Saturday,
when the state department received a
/ letter from the Colombian minister, Pc
dro Mel Ospina, saying that he had
! turned the legation affairs over to Senior
! don Roberto Mae Douall first secretary,
who will act as charge d'affaires. Sim
/ liar word was received from American
Minister Dubois at Bogota, which in
addition said that the American legation
there had been officially informed OF
Minister Ospina's recall.
The attitude Of the press of Colombia
in the 0spina- Knox incident greatly
gratifes the state department at Wash
ington. Minister Dubois reported that
almost without exception the influential
newspaper of the republic joined in mp
pauding the governments action in re-
calling Minister Ospina, This is accept
ed as indicative OF the dawn of an era
of much better feeling toward the United
States and the end of the bitter feeling
engendered by American acquisition of
the Panama canal zone.
The hearty invitation of Colombia to
Secretary Knox to visit its shores has
not vet been answered, so far as the
state department knows. The decision
lies entirely with Secretary Knox, to
whom the invitation was sent by wire
less. He is on the cruiser Washington,
somewhere between Key West and Colon.
Messages sent after the speeding cruiser
Saturday were unanswered up to tbs
hour of closing at the department. but
it is believed they reached their destina-
tion safely. Officials now consider IL
somewhat unlikely that Mr.. Knox will
visit Cartagena, for he will spend only
few days in each capital and his time
is limited. The official itinerary of the
secretary's trip up until the time of his
arrival at Amapala was issued at the
state department Saturday, as follows;
February 81, arrive at Colon, proceeding
to Panama to remain until February %.
Arrive at San Jose. Costa Rica, March |,
leaving March 4 for Corinto and Man
aqua by way of Punta Arenas. March
), 6 and Z will be spent at Managra,
and March s Mr.. Knox win reach Corinto

Protest Against the High School English
of Last Line of "Houn' Dawg" Song.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Big red and blue
buttons with the last lire Of the Ozark
"Houn' Dawg' song imprinted on them
appeared at the capital Saturday on
the coat lapel of the Clark boomers. The
buttons were highly unsatisfactory to
Mr.. Clark's friends, however, for they
read:
You've got to stop kicking my dog
around"
All the Missourians in Congress imme-
diately raised protest. insisting that no
real Ozark mountaineer ever used such
cultured high school English. So 5000
buttons were ordered with the legend
changed:
You gotta stop kickin' my dawg
aroun'."

Rome, Feb. 26.-The Senate Saturday
night without debate unanimously rati-
fed the decree proclaiming annexation OF
Tripoltana and Cyrenaica. Scenes OF
great enthusiasm followed and the sit

euce of the duke of Genoa and the duke
Of Aosta, who occupied their seats as
senators and were greeted on entering
the chamber with frantic applause.
The duke of Aosta thanked those as
semblcd for the hearty reception. saying
that he and his cousin desired to record
their vote in favor of an achievement
which was due to the will of the people,
the wisdom Of the rulers and the heroism
of the soldiers and sailors.

bill passed unanimously. The president
OF the Senate paid special homage to the
duchess of Aosta for the part she took
in caring for the wounded and to the
duke of the Abruzzi "for valor."

How to Treat Pimples.

1t is really remarkable how Cadum,

pimples TO dry up and fall off, leaving

FINDS DEAD MAN IS
LONG LOST FATHER

Especial Dispatch TO The Journal
SAVANNAH, Ca, April 9.-In the
death of John Doke here few days
ago it is believed that a mystery of
a quarter of a century has been clear
ed, and that the deceased is the father
of c. L. Doke who has been living IN
the same city for some time without
either positively knowing of the pres
ence of the other. Twenty-Five years
ago John Doke disappeared from Ma
con, stating that he was going to
Brunswick Although every effort
was made by his relatives no trace
could be found of him, and the family
moved to Milledgeville.
The sons grew up, knowing very lit
tie about their father and in the course
of time his memory all-but passed from
them When it was announced in the
Savannah papers that George Doke,
aged 60, a man without relatives here,
was dead and that efforts to commu-
nicate with relatives in Charleston,
Miss, were without result, Mr.. c. l..
Doke became interested. After seeing
the body of the dead man he said shat
there were traces of resemblance to
his father although time had blotted
out many of the features familiar to
him in childhood. Mr.. Doke is con-
WINGED that the dead man is his long
lost father and expects to give him
respectable burial here.

Myers Writes on Nitrate
" Semi-Weekly Journal:

Editor Semi Weekly Journal:
Several cases of low grade nitrate
have. in the past. appeared on the mar
ket, and I am writing to suggest that
you advise correspondents to purchase
nitrate from trustworthy dealers only.
One adulteranG is common salt and
sometimes salt cake has been used. Both
are worthless as fertilizers and contain
no plant foot. 1t is preferable to pur-
chase nitrate in original bags which
now contain about 200 pounds.
So far as the Gillian producers Of
nitrate are concerned, however. the
greatest care is taken, and samples are
drawn by inspectors from all cargoes
before they leave the ports of Chilli.
and heavy fines would be imposed
upon any producers who attempted to
export low grade nitrate. Salt cake
residue made as a by-product in the
manufacture of nitric acid has also
been used to a1ulterate nitrate, and
in certain cases has been sold as inter-
cake. This name tends to give 1t a.
false value. 1t is also worthless as
plant food. On our part. we have done
all that is possible to maintain a high
standard. and that our policy will be
the same in the future you may be fully
assured, and I hope that you will be
able to cooperate with us in helping
to prevent sales of low grade nitrate,
which we would greatly deplore,
Very truly yours.
