Prince BismurcK was a great pipe

three emperors as minister and that
three important changes In life would
be foretoid by accidents Detailing the
pipe Laughing. Bismarck bought the
pipe. He served three emperors. and

OkVUV aUo w.
Kilauea, In Hawaii. Is a round. ex-
tinct crater about three miles across
and TOO or SOO feet deep. 1t has been
the scene Of terrific explosions In past
ages, but It has now dwindled to tue
small active crater Of Halemaumau.
which Is sunk near the middle OF II
like huge pot, 2O0 or more feet deep
and 1000 feet across.
In the midafternoOn a party or eight
of ten of us on horseback set out to
visit the volcano. The trail led down
the broken and shelving side OF the
crater, amid trees and bushes. till II
struck the floor Of lava at the bottom.
Our course took us out over the
cracked and contorted lava beds, where
no green thing was growing. The
forms OF the lava dow suggested
mailed and writhing dragons, with
horrid, gaping mouths and vicious
claws. The lava crunched beneath the
horses feet like shelly and brittle Ice.
At one point we passed over wide
jagged crack on bridge. AS we neared
the crater the rocks grew warm and
sulphur aud other fumes streaked the
air.
When half mile from the crater we
dlsmounted and. leaving our horses In
charge of the guide. proceeded on foot
over the cracked and heated lava rocks
toward the brink of this veritable
DEVILS caldrom. The sulphur fumes
are so sulfocating that 1t can be ap
preached only on the windward side.
The first glance into that fearful pit
Is all that your imagination can picture
II. You look upon the traditional lake
OF birthstone and fire. and IL devils
were to appear skipping about over the
surface with pitchforks. turning their
victims as the cook turns her frying
crullers in the sputtering fat, 1t would
not much surprise you. This liquid IN
rather thick and viscid, but 1t is boil
ing furiously. Great masses Of 1t are
thrown up forty or fifty feet and fall
with crash like that of the surf upon
the shore.
The mass of boiling lava Is said to be
about one and one-half acres in extent.
Its surface Is covered with large masses
OF floating crust. black and smooth.
like leather or roofing paper, and be-
tween these masses. or Islands. the
molten lava shows In broad, vivid
lines. It Is never quiet.
Looking upon this scene with the
thought Of the traditional lake Of fire
and birthstone of our forefathers In
mind. you would say that these black,
| Glthy looking masses floating about on
the surface were the accumulation OF
all the bad stun that had been fried
out OF the poor sinners since hell was
invented. How much wickedness and
uncharity and evil thought It would
represent! II the poor victims were
clarified and made purer by the proc
ess. then 1t would seem worth whlle.-

Wilson's ideas as TO Foreign
Relations Disturb Diplomats.
MAY UPSET PRESENT COURSE
Issue Of "Doilar Diplomacy" Brings
Up the Pressing LatIn-American
Question, including the Soothing OF
Colombia For the Loss Of Panama.
Russian Situation Another Trouble
some Matter For the New President.

Washington, Nov. 18.-What are
Woodrow Wilson's ideas as to foreign
affairs? That is a question which Of
fetal washington, including members
OF the diplomatic corps, Is asking re-
peatedly now. And strangely enough,
nobody seems to know where Presi.
dent-elect Wilson stands as to foreign
policies which have been built up un-
der Republican administrations.
AS the broadcast in its application
and bearing upon American interests,
Mr.. Wilson will first have to decide
whether he Is to indorse and maintain
the Republican policy Of giving gov.
ernment aid to American capital seek
ing investments In foreign lands and
American producers seeking markets
abroad for American goods. This pol
Icy, dubbed dollar diplomacy" has
been bombarded again and again by
the Democrats.
A more specific question under this
phase OF foreign relations which Pres
ident Wilson will have to answer con-
Germs the proposed Chinese loan OF
$30O,000 900 He will have either to
commit himself to this governments
activity In favor Of rital or else he
must disavow II and take the United
States out OF the concert OF six ma
tions on the Chinese loans.
Latin.Amerlcan Problems.
The issue OF dollar diplomacy also
brings up at once the tremendously
pressing Latin-American question.
The number Of governments to be
dealt with and their nearness TO the
United States and the Panama canal
make the Latin-American question
probably the most imperative OF all
problems that will confront the incom
Ing administration. Events are NOV
ing rapidly In Latin-Amerlca and
bring with them the necessity for the
establishment OF new precedents upon
the part of the government OF the
United States.
One Of the interesting questions
which Mr.. Wilson will have to solve
Is the matter of soothing Colombia
for the loss Of Panama. The Demo
Gratis In congress have agitated thi'
matter for the last two years. and ac
cused previous Republican administra
tions of the blackest Of crimes FOL
their treatment OF Colombia.
Mr.. Wilson Is on record as declar
ing that he would give his sanction tt
no treaty with Russia which did no
guarantee equal treatment of al
| American citizens, regardless OF rac'
or religion, by Russia. He will un
doubtedly there fore find himself In al
unpleasant situation ~ regards rela
tiOns with Russia.

for years, have thousands OF friends
I'm all walks of life those, In turn
