To-day the only vibration we consider

physical law--tfat nothing is at rest.

note Probably its note is very low
one. The larger the building the lower

But il would be difficult to get this

Personal Association

" Seems right to emphasize the personal
associations of this little group of old
masters. 1t is a remnant. about third
of the collection that Consul James Jack
son Jarves assembled at Florence in the
fifties and sixties. The more important
part Is in the Yale Art School. and has
been lately installed in attractive new
galleries. A few pictures were sold sep
arately to the Boston Art museum and
elsewhere. Jarves collected with the in
tention of representing in an historical se-
RIGS the chief schools OF the 18th and 18th
centuries in Italy. His means We're small
and his intention was to appeal to public
spirited Americans to purchase the entire
collection. He brought the pictures back
about 1870 in the middle of the black wal
nut era. fondly imagining that the infiu-
ence of such critics as Charles Eliot Nor
ton would avail to sell the collection. The
pictures were exhibited and were the oc-
casion of skepticism and merriment. AZ
length Jarves was forced to realize on the
collection. Yale university made advances
on the major part: his old friend. L. T..
Holden of Cleveland. O, on the rest.
At Jarves death these debts remained
urpaid. the pictures remaining with The
lenders For a while both the Yale col

TEXAS CITIES
LOSE CONTENTION
BEFORE COURTS

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 5.--In the
case brought by Texas commercial
organizations against the Atchison
Topeka and Santa F'e railroad and
other carriers, the interstate com
merce commission today held it had
no authority to require the issuance
of through export bills of lading at
Galveston, Texas, as it had no juris
diction over ocean carriers, although
it would hold the rail carriers respon-
Sible for failure to issue such bills If
the water carriers were willing to
honor them. The commission declar
ed that public interest requires the
issuance of these through bills of lad
ing and the cotton crop Of Texas
cannot be handled without great in
convenience, under any other system
For several years the city of Gal
weston and 1HNas shippers have been
cortendns FOR equality of shipping
conditions al the port of Galveston
with those al New Orleans and other
ports, particularly the export traffic.
The commission held that at least
six days free time should be allowed
at Galveston upon export traffic: and
that after January i, 1919, the impo-
siton of greater demurrage charges
at Galveston than at New Orleans and
other ports would be regarded as I'M
lawful discrimination.

SANTA FEANS MUST
GO TO ALBUQUERQUE
ORDER ISSUED BY SANTA Re RAILROAD
CLOSES LIMITED TRAINS TO ANY
RESIDENT OF THIS CITY WHO WANTS
To GO EAST.

An order issued by the Santa Fe
Railway company ana effective the
first of the year, provides that here
after, Santa I'e trains No. 3 and No.
4 will only stop for the purpose of
taking passengers at Kansas City
Newton, La Junta and Albuquerque
This, in effect, means that anyone
from Santa re wishing to Sc
cure passage on these two
fast trains Of the Santa Fe which
are the only trains that carry diners
except the De Luxe specials, must
first 20 to Albuquerque
The discrimination is so apparent
that some of the minor officials are of
the opinion that the order will be
changed in order that persons resid-
ing in Santa Fee may secure berths or
drawing rooms on these trains by
wire, as is done at present and board
the trains at i.amy The matter will
be subject for discussion by the

speak without restriction. He want
ed TO affirm. however, that France III

can questions wished that her al
lianoes and friendships should lind
new proof in their force and in their
efficiency.
France the premier said, always
consulted England and Russia in ad-
vance before acting with them and
he added I'VE shall continue to act
with them in accoru and with con
tidence"
Referring to the future, Poincaire
said: All the evidence goes to show
that a general settlement of the pend
ing difficulties will be effected soon
e. or later. Up to now the powers
have been in accord. recognizing that
military operations do not constitute
accomplished facts and that no power
has adopted an irrepa?able initiative.
This result. which is the best guaran-
tee of European peace. is especially
due to the fact that the chancellOries
Of Europe have been in constant com
munication in the past few weeks.
The premier added, "Tie variations
Of the points of view between Il GER
tain power and the Balkan allies and
among the great powers themselves
doubtless cannot, however be solved
practically without a common confer
ence where all the problems will be
discussed and Weighed
Premier POincare saw an indication
Of peace in the fact that every great
power had placed itself on record as
not seeking territorial extension.
This, he said, should not be confused
with their moral and political inter
ests in the territory where hostilities
had been going Oh.
France, he continued, occupied
special position in reference to Tln-
key for France was the principal cred
ltor of Turkey and possessed heavy
financial and economic interests in
he Ottoman empire, including tobac-
20 concessions, lighthouses. railroads,
mines, banks and schools.
If the allies should annex part of
Turkey they must, said the French
premier, be held responsible for Tur-
Keys public debt.
Question as to how this is to be an
'anged and apportioned was, he said, /
now being examined by the great i
in,

allies themselves, whom France has
in a friendly manner that
hey must respect French moral and
material rights in Turkey

London, Dec. 5.--The dispute be
tween Austria-Hungary and Servia
arising out of the Balkan war, which
has threatened general European
conflict wiIihave been steered into a
safe channel and the peace of Europe
will be maintained if as announced to-
day, Servia has definitely decided to
leave her case in the hands of the
great powers.
With the adhesion of Austria-Hun-
gary the proposal of Sir Edward
Grey. the British foreign secretary to
call a meeting of the ambassa dorial
clearing house. has now reached prac-
ticaIly unanimous welcome.
There seems to be a general dispo-
ston today to strive honestly to pre-
vent further complications arising
from the clash between Turkey and
the Balkan allies.
The puzzles of Greece's attitude in
connection with the armistce is ex-
pected to be solved satisfactorily, as
it is not believed that Greece will i'm
peril her own victories by maintain
ing a separatist police.
Sir Edward Grey, the Sritish for

that although he promised an am
bassadorial conference in Londcn. he
