overriding the will of the rank and

would be deeply discreditable to any

CHINA MAKES
RUSSIA ANXIOUS

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb 22--China
as republic is a source of great an
Xiety to the Russian patriotic and gov
ernmental press. The Novoe Vremya,
Zemchina, Kolokol and other news
papers lament that Russia is surround
ed by progressive powers, such as re-
publican China and constitutionally in
clined Persia and Turkey, all of which
are animated by hatred of Russia.
Alarm expressed is thought by some
observers here not to be entirely with
out warrant. For twenty years Russia
has prosecuted its Asiatic neighbors
Vladivostok newspapers and others in
east Siberia frankly declare that the
inhabitants of northern China are FL.

treatment of a peaceful agricultural
population, especially in Manchuria
This hatred is openly expressed and
hints also are frequent that some day
when its army has been re3lgani2ed
China will avengH itself.
Any one at all acquainted with the
sentiments of the Persians and Turks
knows that they would be only too
happy to take advantage of any diff

THE DESERTED
VILLAGE" FAIRIES

DUBLIN, Feb. 22.-An acre OF land,
awarded as a building site for a labor
er named Kilduff by the district coun-
Gil at Athlone, has been given up on
the ground that there is fairy fort on
it which would have to be disturbed
by Kilduff's cottage. Kilduff refused to
take the risk of interfering with the
fairies. This is an authentic though
rare instance of an Irish superstitution
which most people thought had dis
appeared.
Kilduff, in applying for plot for a
cottage, described his present home as
so windy that 1t would give a wild
duck rheumatism" yet rather than
offend the fairies he forfeits his
chance to get a sound dwelling.
The scene of this story is the one
made famous by Goldsmith's The De-
serted village" The lands are the
property of the same family that has
held them since the poets day.

AMERICAN SEIZED I'M BERLIN

BERLIN, Feb. 22.-The espionage
craze which is so prevalent throughout
Germany resulted today in the arrest
of an American tourist with his Ger
man companion by one of the sentries
on guard at the fortress of Spandau, a
few miles from Berlin. The arrested
men protested against the sentry's ac-
ton declaring that they were interest
ed merely in the famous julius tower
where the imperial war chest, contain
ing $SOOOO,OOO in gold coin, is kept sc
that it may be ready for immediate
use in case of a sudden mobilization
of the German army.
Both men were kept in the guard
room for several hours, during which
they were put through a severe cross
examination by the officers on duty
They then were released and returned
to Berlin.

OLD FASHIONED HAWAIIAN
LUAU GIVEN IN NEW YORK

News.)
NEW YORK, February 19.-Rather
an unusual press agent stunt was
pulled off in behalf of "The Bird of
Paradise" when the native Hawaiians
who furnish the music and local color
for the piece gave a Sandwich Island
feast for the white members of the
company and their guests on the stage
of the Maxine Elliott theater 1t
would be more correct, perhaps, to
speak of it as a Hawaiian feast, be-
cause when those islands were known
by the names which Captain Cook
gave to them a feast might have in
cluded a course or two of human
flesh, prepared under the rules of a
cannibal cuisine.

In the present case the native
dishes were innocent, even If they
didn't appeal strongly to the Ameri-
can taste. Miss Laurette Taylor, the

she likened it to bill posters paste,
