KNOX NOT WANTED
COLOMBIA ENVOY SAYS SECRE-
TARYs VISIT TO HIS coUN-
TRY is UNDESIRABLE.
BREAK IN RELATIONS SEEN
Minister to U. s. Sends Unofficial Pro-
test to State Department That Cab
met Member Eliminate Trip to Car
taaena-Note Considered Insult.

Washington.-The capital is aghast
over the extraordinary action OF Senior
Pedro del Ospina, minister Of Colon
bia to the United States, In making
public formal note he had sent to
Acting Secretary of State Huntington
Wilson saying the proposed visit OF
Secretary of State Knox to his country
on the latter's projected southern trip,
might be "inopportune."
The Colombian minister, first draw
ing attention to the fact that the views
are his own, and not officially those of
the government, seriously crtticises
the United States for not submitting
to arbitration the differences with Co
lombia growing out Of this govern
ment's acquisition Of the Panama
canal zone.
Inasmuch as the letter admittedly Is
the personal expression of the minis
ter, written without having communi-
Gated with his government, it was re-
ceived at the state department in the
nature Of a personal insult to this gov
eminent.
In diplomatic circles 1t was believed
that Colombia, smarting under eight
years of Intellectual attempts to Sc
cure arbitration Of the canal zone diff
ferences, would confirm the unofficial
views of her accredited representa-
tives.
A more profound sensation Is looked
for, as it is believed that termina-
ton of diplomatic relations between
this country and Colombia is in pros
pect.
Acting Secretary Wilson had adj
vised Senior Ospina Of the probable
itinerary of Secretary Knox. What is
said to have particularly aroused the
Colombian minister was reference to
the Republic Of Panama in the timer
airy, a country whose independence Co
lombia never has recognized.
He makes yelled reference to the
long delay Of the United States in an
swering several notes addressed to 1t,
seeking arbitration, and charges that
this government has Disseminated
against Colombia in failing to give her
arbitration which the United States is
now Offering to other members Of the
family Of the nations.
A tentative itinerary of Secretary
Knox makes provision for a stop at
Cartagena, Colombia, on March rs.
Senior Ospina was disposed to be-
lieve that his government would indi-
cate to the United States that visit
from Secretary Knox would be untime-
ly unless the secretary care prepared
to promise an early arbitration of DIFF
ferences He declared tAat his letter
summed up the position Of Colombia
as conclusive.

FATALITIES IN SPORTS.

The list of fatalities attendant on
the pleasure of the nation is referred
to as proof that eve still take our
pleasures sadly" The verbal state
ment is far from accurate, the exact
showing being that we take our pleas
ures with such reckless absorption as
to present very gloomy results, even
after allowing for the fact that the sta
tistics of the year exhibited decided
improvement in some of the Leading
items of management. We celebrated
the Fourth of July at the cost of 78
lives, expended 81 to carry through
the season of baseball and IL In the
brief football season, 10 ostenslbly TO
decide which automobile is the fast
est, but really to show which driver
can be most reckless and escape the
penalty; IA in the joys of motorcy-
cling, 40 in the pleasures of hunting.
10 Of whom were shot under the sup
position that they were deer, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. twenty-five lost
their lives in pleasure garden joys;
43 did not know it was loaded, and
% were the victims of the fools who
rock the boats. This certainly sur
rounds the after aspect of our sports
with a gloomy atmosphere, though per-
haps not so utterly sordid as the
vaster totals Of lives sacrificed for
gain in industry.

An Englishman has invented a safe
ty match whose superior merit he in
dictates by saying that children can
play with 1t without peril. The time
which has elapsed since Christmas
has been insufficient to enable the
children to break everything that was
given to them on that glad anniver-
sary, and while children have other
things to keep them occupied, who
wants them to play with matches?

BOSTON CHILD KEPT DIGNITY
Matron Meant to Be Kindly, But
Youngster Was Not Converse
tionally Inclined.

This story has been going the
rounds of Boston about the ten-year-
old son of Director Russell of the
Boston opera house.
One evening during an entracte at
the opera house Master Russell was
promenading alone in the foyer, in
faultlessly evening dress-a very glass
of fashion. A Boston matron, seeing
that he was lonely, began to make her
self agreeable"
You are Director Russell's little
boy, aren't your" she asked, with
patronizing sweetness.
Master Russell resented this intru-
sion on his dignity, but his courtly
manners were unruff1ed. Yes,
madam" he replied, with an elabor-
ate bow.
Where were you born?"
I'm France, am'-slightly more
frigid.
What part?" continued the lady,
feeling the conversation well started.
"All of me, madam"
And he bowed and walked away

SEVERE TESTS ARE REQUIRED
Seven Hundred Candidates for Aero
nautlc Corps Must Undergo Rigid
Examinations in Paris.

Paris.-The 700 candidates for
Frances flying corps are to be sub
jected to very severe tests at the
physical examination ordered by the
ministry Of war.
Among the requirements are per-
feet vision. normal color sense, sharp
hearing and absolute soundness OF the
organs of respiration and circulation.
1t is specified particularly that no
men who have to wear spectacles
shall do any flying. a rule made the
more interesting because some of the
worlds most notable airmen, past and
present, wore or now wear glasses.
The candidates are now learning to
fly at the government aerodromes,
some of them as pilots of dirigible bal
looms, but the majority as individual
aeroplane pilots. The test is to be
more severe for operators OF aero
planes than for balloon aeronauts.
