An Unusual Charity

Madame Yvette Gulbert for several
years past has devoted herself to. an
excellent and original charity. Except
the Coincide Franchise, and at most one
or two other arrangements, there is no
theatre in France which does not expect
the actresses in it's company to provide
their own dresses. In the provinces an
actress playing La Dame AUX Camelies'
on $l5 per week will be required to sup
ply dresses, one of which is worth her
months salary.
In 1903 Madame Yvette Guilbert started
lie Vestisire du Theatre which, thanks
to her endeavors and those of her many
supporters rigs out struggling actresses
in the necessary fine clothes and every
one knows in the profession that for the
obscure actress looking for engage

Holds Key to High Cost of. Living

FROM the washington POST.
Argentina holds the key to the high
cost of living problem in the United
States, in the opinion of W. F. Ards, a
resident of Michigan, who has lived for
the last three years in that South
American republic. With the duty re-
moved Argentina would grasp the OPP
portunity ship her beef and mutton to
American markets, declares Mr. Ards.
What Argentina has accomplished
in beef and sheep production Is due
almost wholly to the example set her
by the United States" said Mr.. Ards,
at the Willard Argentina realizes that
she owes this country great debt of
gratitude and while she has an I'M
limited market abroad for her meats,
she would prefer to do business with
this country. Today Argentina pro-
duces enough beef and mutton for ex-
port to solve the high cost of living
problem in the United States, If the
Argentine producers could but get their
meats into our ports free of duty. |
have made careful study of the con-
ditions, and [ have discovered that the
same quality of beef--prime beef
which brings on the hoof in Chicago
an average of So per 100, can be bought
in Argentina for IS per 100. This would
mean a lowering of the cost of beef
to the consumer approximately 40 per
cent Relatively the same difference
in cost applies to mutton. know
enough about the conditions in the
United States to know that II the price
of beef were reduced 1t would go a
long way toward decreasing the cost of
living. which In the last year has be-
come not only serious domestic prob
lem, but a vital political question.
The question will naturally arise as
to the quality of the Argentine beef.
Britishers have told me that the Ar
gentne beef they have received of late
is better than any American beef they
ever had. Recently Mr.. Olds of Mich
igan, the automobile manufacturer.
told me that he had seen 200 car
casses of Argentine beef that averaged
200 pounds, and he declared that it
was all prime beef. There is no ques-
ton that If the duty on meats was re-
moved Argentina would begin imme
diately to ship her beef and mutton
to the United States. In return for her
meats, the United States could sell Ar
gentina manufactured articles, for
there is practically little manufacturing
done in that country. 1t is interesting
to note that Argentina today is the
largest wheat exporting country in the
world, and that it is becoming the
greatest meat exporting nation. A few
years ago there were hardly any Amer
leans there, but they are rapidly go
ing to the country"

Germany Greatly Interested in Pro-

BY MALCOLM CLARKE

Berlin, May 24.-(Special.-We are now
approaching the climax of those hundred
days a hundred years ago which changed
the destiny of Europe. In all parts of
Germany the feeling of celebration is
now short of devotion. While the most
careful efforts are being made officially
to prevent any semblance of offense to
our Gallo neighbor over the Palatinate,
the memories which are called up by the
dramatic series of events followed
Napoeon's advance from Erfurt and the
battles of Lutzen and Bautsen are too
dear to the hearts of patriotic Germans
not to arouse some French animosities.
From political point of view the most
interesting coign to meditation is the fact
that in the Leipzig campaign Austria was
Napoleon's ally whereas today, as since,
the debacle of the hundred days and
the congress of Vienna, the Fatherland
and the jewel monarchy. are as own
brothers. Writers in all parts of Europe
are dwelling upon the unity of purpose
and to the pregnant movements of the
northern and southern slave, but they
have forgotten the welding solidarity of
the Germanic peoples. This is the most
stfiklhS fact IN Europe today. From the
ocean borders of the low countries to
the banks of the Danube and the very
fringe of the Adratic Germans are stead
lily coalescing in their spirit of patriotism
the like of which has not been seen since

McKinley's Stolen Stein

FTOm The LONDON CnTOn1CIe.
The abstemious habits of President
Mckinley led to an amusing incident
during the visit of Prince Henry of
Prussia to America.
Desiring to honor the prince with a
beer fest and finding the White House
cellars lacking the necessary equip
ment, the President ordered 10 dozen
stems from a local saloon. When Prince
Henry took the first observation"
through one of these stems he found
engraved on the bottom the words:
"Stolen from Ernst Gerstenberg."
Stein collecting patrons had laid the
saloonkeeper under such heavy tribute
that he had been forced to adopt this
method of protecting his property.

JAPAN IS WILLING.
Ready to Renew Expired Treaty With
United States.
Washington. June IA. -

washington, June Ia. - Viscount
Chinda the japanese ambassador, has
advised Secretary Bryan that Japan
is willing to renew for another period
of five years, her arbitration treaty
with the United States which expires
by limita ton August "A.
Secretary Bryan, making the an
nouncement today, said he not only
hoped, but expected the senate would
ratify the new arbitration treaties al
ready signed with Great Britain and
other countries, despite the opposition
against them. No date for the signing
of the Japanese renewal has been de-
termined
The senatorial opposition which Sec
rotary Bryan is hopeful of overcom-
ing was originally voiced by Senator
Chamberlain, who insisted that in re-
newing a treaty with Great Britain,
specific exceptions should be made to
remove the Panama canal tolls contro-
versy from the field of arbitration.
The question of arbitrating the issue
with Japan over the California alien
land law also has been a subject or
discussion among senators opposed to
renewing that arbitration treaty Presi-
dent Wilson has had frequently con-
ferences over the arbitration treaties
with senators at the White House and
at the capitol. Members of the for
eign relations committee likewise have
been frequent callers at Secretary
Bryan's office. Bryan today would not

his expectation that the arbitration
treaties would receive senatorial ap-

Exhibits.

Washington, June 14.-Already the
navy department is beginning to re-
ceive inquiries from commercial Organf-
cations throughout the country regard
ing the bill recently introduced in con-
gress providing for the utilization of
naval vessels for the display of Ameri-
can goods in foreign ports If these
continue to come, the department
probably will be Obliged to get out a
circular pointing out the utter imprac-
ticability of such a project from the
naval standpoint.
Oficials declare naval vessels are not
constructed to carry cargoeS and that
although they are rated at many
thousand tons displacement. once their
stores and coal are aboard they are
fully loaded and any addition to that
load might sink them.
The misrepresentation as to the capac-
ity of war ships appears to rest upon
the confusion of such crafts with the
ordinary cargo boats, according to
naval officers.
