The airdale Is almost devoid OF tail,

The grdale has an afYectionate dis

upon those whom 1t loves.
The fine thing about the airdale Is
that being utterly devoid Of beauty its

Standard Oil and

Have Halted Peace

SHANGHAI. Jan. 2s-That John d.
Rockefeiler's Standard Oil Company
and other concession-seeke are re-
sponsible for the failure of the peace
pact In China, was the direct charge
made to-day by the Shanghai Gazette.
The feelin; is bitter. and it Is certain
that, no matter what the outcome, the
anti-foreign sentiment throughout Chi
ma will be intensified by these charges.
Many prominent persons, who wero
interested in the attempt to obtain
peace by having President Sun resign,
and then have . constitutional cleo
ton guaranteed, were satisfied to-day
that the President listened to the in
fuence Of the men who wanted kon-
cessions in China. The desire to, get
possession of all the natural resources
OF the country was said to have scaliDod
hnanciersa of International reputation,
including agents OF the Standard OIL,
to make substantial contributions to
Suns expenses, and It was their infiu-
ence. according to the baffled advo-
Gates OF Immediate peace, that kept
the President from eliminating his own
personal ambitions to restore order.
These fnanciers, It Is charged, de-
manded that the President retain his
position and keep his promises, and
their influence was too strong to be
