of today is much nicer than the ''old
woman" of yesterday. The woman of
today goes to the bottom of things;
she looks forward and outward ''far

If she amounts to anything at all
she takes her business of a wife and
mother to be about the most stupen-
doUs job that can be given to hui
man being, and she devotes herself to
that.
The women of Dicks mothers age
are femininity in a pulpy state of

But this female" had a fine time
last night. Dick threw off all his re-

and how good the dinner tasted.
For once was glad to have nice,
juicy beefsteak. Even the crusty
French bread was a sweet morseI-

that am very fond of baked potatoes
and he ordered them instead of the

l let him do it, for l was sure that
the baked potatoes were the most
wholesome and, besides, am not al

At first l had felt that did not care

changed.

JAJAN'S MOTIVES
IN THE FAR EAST
Says the Japanese People Appreciate
the Lofty Spirit of President
Wilson.

New York, Aug. 26.-The Inde-
pendent will print in its forthcoming
issue the following cabled message
from Count Okuma, premier Of
Japan:
II gladly seize the opportunity to
send through The Independent a
message to the people OF the United
States, who have always been help
ful and loyal friends of Japan.
at is my desire to convince your
people Of the sincerity of my gov
ernment and my people in all their
utterances and assurance connected
with the present regrettable situation
in Europe and the Far East.
Every sense of loyalty and honor
oblige Japan TO cooperate with
Great Britain TO clear from these
waters the enemies who in the past
the present and future menace her
interests, her trade, her shipping and
her peoples lives.
This far eastern situation is not
of our seeking. 1t was ever my de-
sire to maintain peace as will be
amply proved.
II have read with admiration the
lofty message of President Wilson to
his people on the subject of neutral
ity.
I'VE of japan are appreciative of
the spirit and motives that inspired
the head of your great nation and
we feel confident his message will
meet with a national response.
"As premier of Japan l have stat
ed, and now again state, to the peo-
pie of America and OF the world that
Japan has no Interior motive, no de-
sire to secure more territory, no
thought of depriving China or other
peoples of anything they now pos
sess.
MY government and my people
have given their word and their
pledge which will be as honorably
kept as Japan always keeps her
promises"

HUGE CONFLICT ON.
Conflict of Millions at Last Appear
to he in Progress.

London, Aug. 2S.-I:lO a. NJ
The conflict of millions at last 2p-
pears to be in progress.
Even the sinking of the German
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
pales besides news of the titanic
battle and the realization that the
allies are fighting to block the road
to Paris, with the Germans hardly
farther away than New York IS from
Philadelphia.
Meanwhile the Russian host is
drawing nearer to Berlin. Not even
during the first great struggle he
tween Europe and Asia on the far
Manchurian Plains was the enor-
nous battle fought in such impene-
trable silence as far as concerns the
outer world.
Only the vaguest generalities are
given to the people of Great Britain
and France by their respective gov
ernments. Probably the German
people know as little as outsiders
what their armies are accomplish
ing.
Among the information the pub
Tic obtained today was the report
announced by Premier Asquith i'm
the house of commons that the
army was engaged on Wednesday
against suerior force and fought
splendidly.

manufacturers, each said the end of
warfare abroad must result if Amer

erent nations.
There is big demand for flour in
foreign countries, according to these
witnesses, with a heavy demand in
domestic markets. MIR. Zabrinski said
there is a shortage of 100000. 900
bushels In the Russian wheat crop.
He declared the United States could
dispose of its entire -four output to
France, England, Greece and Turkey
at any reasonable prices and receive
payment in gold before the staple
was put aboard steamships.
Not only would war in Europe end
II an embargo was placed on Amer
lean products, Mr.. Zabrinski and Mr..
Warner agreed, but normal markets
would be established at home and
the prices go down.
Mr.. Warner said the Grain Export

GREAT BRITAIN
WILL PLAY SAFE
Wants No Trouble With the
United States.
MISTAKES OF THE PAST.
hnSiand Has No Idea of Becom-
ing Embroiled Win Neutral
Power.

London, Aug. 27.-The Daily
Chronicle today warns the English
government of the danger of England
becoming embroiled with the United
States over questions of contraband
of war and argues that any es-
arrangement between the two coun-
tries would be the extreme of bad
management.
1t must be the guiding principle
OF the British government" the ar
ticle says, "to direct its naval policv
so that we may lot become embroiled
with any neutral power. In nearly
ever war of the past two centuries
we incurred this danger.
The only really powerful neutral
power of the present time is the
United States. If there is a wise
statesmanship, we shall remain in
perfect amity with that power, as
with the Netherlands, which possess
ses the great gateway leading TO the
heart of Germany.

to send cargoes to Rotterdam and
will exercise that right. We must
6e prepared to see neutral American
vessels discharging cargoes in Hol-
iand ports. Many questions are
likely to arise regarding the exclu-
sion of absolute or conditional con-
traband--that is, things that NAV be
used by the German naval and mill
tary forces.
1t has been the British practice
TO regard as liable to capture any
contraband cargoes concerning which
1t could be proved they had an ulte-
rior hostile destination. 1t is evident
that this provision presents a real
danger, as the character OF a cargo
can only be ascertained by exercising
the right of search, which the United
States has strongly resisted and
which was the cause of the war of
1912.
Picture then, an American ship
approaching the port of Rotterdam
anu DIlIlSH naval OHlCeT exercising
the right to search and OBTAINING the
ship or the presumption that her
grain cargo is contraband The cool
est judgment will be needed in such
case to avoid a dispute and a mis-
understanding.
1T has been suggested that we al
low food ships to enter Dutch ports
on the mere declaration that their
cargoes are not in transit to the
enemy. Whether such declaration
would be sufficient 1t is difficult to
say, but it is evident that the officers
of the fleet should have very definite
instructions on these points to avoid
any arrangements"

London, Aug. 27- Many Ameri-
cans have enlisted in the foreign
legion organized by Captain Ricci.
who fought with Garibaldi. The ser
vices of the legion have been offered
TO the British war office. but have
not been accepted. The legion con
tains 5000 men and 200 officers.
One-third of its membership speaks
English, one-third Russian and one
third Italian.
The Americans who enlisted here
are uncertain as to this legion and
many will go to Paris to enter the
foreign corps accepted by the French
army.
Paul and Kitten Rockwell, broth
ers, young college men from Ashe-
Vile, N. c., are among those who left
today for Paris to enlist. Before de-
parting Paul Rockwell said:
I'VE came over to Europe just for
a pleasure trip, but have made up
our minds we want to fight for the
allies. Belgium won our admira-
tion by her game fight. France is
in the thick of the fight and we want
to help her out as best we can.
I'VE desire to get into action right
away and the French army seems TO
be the place for US. We realize how
serious the game is, but are willing
IL necessary, to offer our lives for the
allies" s1NWS
