window 1t is an unchanging panorama
of village, forest and fiat meadow land,
with now and then an isolated log
cabin surrounded by field of waving
grain. When ones nearest neighbor Is
miles away, fences are superfiuous,
and fences there are none. But If the
scene Is wearying to the eye, the i'm
preston of latent fertility is stipend
GUS. With time and population every
thing seems possible.
Khabarovsk Is the leading city of
the Amur district. In commemoration
of the tercentenary of the reign of the
imperial house of Romanoff an exhibit
ton Of Amur products is in progress
there. 1t is about such an exhibition
as one would expect after three CEN
turtles of Romanoff rule; two hours
suffices for the whole exposition.
Thousands, almost millions, of rubles
have been spent in buildings, grounds
and exhibits, and yet, the afternoon l
was there there were not thirty Wis
itors on all the grounds.
While 1t may be the way of all exhi-
billions to prove financial failures, this
is still a glaring example of that inef-
ficiency which one finds everywhere
here. The one impression the visitor
carries away from the place Is the
magnitude of the possibilities Of the

soil which 1t represented. The coun-
try is still virgin. cold and all but inn
plaeable; but for the strong virile peo-
PIE who have the patience to WOO her
she has smiles and gracious rewards
beyond measure For him who has
the stamina to withstand cold, ice and
solitude this imperial lady of the
SHOWS spreads cloth of gold and
empties her horn of plenty.
More wonderful than the exhibition
are the dairy products one meets with
in the restaurants. Here milk is
cream and cream of nectar for the
gods; butter Is a CONNECTION and the
eggs more to be coveted than those
of the tabled goose.
Solitude of the Amur.
The Amur is not unlike all great
rivers. 1t winds and twists and
doubles upon itself in manner that is
discouragingly common, while the
scenery is mostly fiat and uninterest-
ing. But in solitude, isolation and the
primeval glory of the forests the river
trip surpasses even the railroad jour
ney. AT night as the boat, electric
lighted, steam propelled and spouting
great clouds of sparks from her fun
mel, makes her way down stream, it
is piece of twentieth century in
truded on a pristine background. One
imagines that he hears the fiutter Of
countless startled wings as the rauc-
Gus whistle penetrates and re-echoes
through the forests, and the search
light playing on the banks to find a
landing place transforms the slender
white trunks of the birch trees into SO
many ghosts.
The arrival of the boat is heralded
in the villages along our route by the
tolling of the church bell. The whole
community comes down to the river
side. There are the men in the ubi-
quitous high boots and gayly embroid-
cred shirts, barefooted women in
cheap, print wrappers of gaudy reds
and blues and children in garments of
uncertain origin and as many colors
as Joseph's coat. Each and every one
is loaded down with bottles of de-
licious Siberian milk which they dis
pose of to the passengers at prices

COULDN'T RESIST THAT PLEA
Final Plea, SO Calamity and
lngeniously Phrased.

Always when young Watson had oc-
casion to call up Saunders a girl an
swered and asked:
who wants him, please?"
Watson liked her voice. It was
sweetly feminine and there was some
thing almost appealing in it. At length
he began to hold brief conversations
with her before calling Saunders to
the wire. One day she consented, aft
er many appeals from him, to let him
know that her name was Edith Mowry.
Then their conversation grew longer,
and at last Watson asked her to go to
lunch with him.
81 don't think l ought to do that"
she said. 1--WE have never been intro
duced to each other"
"Pshaw!" he replied, 1--WE needn't
mind that. Even if we have never met
face to face we know each other well
enough to get along without a formal
introduction"
"But I'm afraid" she insisted, that
it would hardly be proper"
"Of course it would be proper. Meet
me at the ladies' entrance of the Costa
lotte hotel at 1890 and we'll have
lunch in the red ROOM"
20, couldn't think of doing that"

Makes Its Own Commerce.
The Amur is the Mississippi of ST.
IBERIA. 1t makes its own commerce,
since the fertile plain through which
it runs supplies the basis of the trade
which 1t transports. For distance of
perhaps 1000 miles the river is nav
igable and is piled almost daily by
government and private steamers of
luxurious passenger accommodation
and with a great carrying trade.

 FEAR MEDIATION
 PLAN WILL FAIL

London. April 27-The virtnal con sensus here in regard to the Mexican trouble is that it is most doubtfu1 if the offer of the three South American countries to mediate will lead to a set tlenent.
 It is assumed that President Huerta will not accept meditation, and 1t is also feared that something will hap pen in the meantime which will com pei a fight to 8 finish between the United States and Mexico.
 The Morning Post comments Presi- dent Wilson for taking advantage of an honorable means of escape from a difficult situation, but says 1t will not be surprised if President Ilnarta. re- gards the acceptance of mediation as climb down and persuades himself that if he stands firm his triumph is. assured, though if he thinks that the United States will shrink from the last resort, whatever efforts and sac rifices may be necessary to secure victory for her cause, he Is making a grave mistake and will be rudeiy un- deceived
 The Morning Post holds that if the United States becomes involved in what may appear to be a. war Of con quest all South America wd1I be against her
 that mediation will avail to settle the conafct between the two collnHies 
 Ut is even possible 2 says the Daily Graphic, that 1t may easily commit the mediators to terms which Presi- dtnt Wilson cannot acc4pt In that case the war would have to proceed with the sympathy of the whole of Latin America overtly on HDexicois side
 The Daily News and Leader ex- presses doubt about President Huerta accepting mediation. while if the sto- ries of outrages on Americans are Confirmed. the paper says, the talk Of arbitration will be speedily ended. It adds:
 The frank acceptance Of the offer of the Latin republics by the United States may tend to restore confidence between them, but one sees in the Of fer itself the shadow of a still larger disaster It is tragic irony that the future peace and prosperity of the whole Of the new world is now en- dangered for the sake Of a man like Huerta., :,

 HUERTA CONTROLS RAILROAD.
 With the exception of the Pan American railway, extending from Guatemala up the west coast to con- nection with a Tehuantepec road, Huerta is now operating with his own
 men every railroad in Mexico without regard to rights of foreign owners. He has driven away every foreigner.
 The last road to be taken over was the Tehanntepec NacionaI, connecting with the Pacific and Atlantfc coasts on Salina. Cruz and Coatzacoa1cos. This property is owned Jointly by the gov ernment and Lord Cowdray and has been operated by Cowdray.

 The evening was most delightftll. MT. Mccormack proved himself, al mas ter of two widely separated schools of singing. Tn the simple ballad and the most dramatic selection grand opera he was equally at home.
 The most impressive thing about his work, perhaps, was the miraculous perfection of his dfction.
 8 In enunciation he was without fault Every word of every song came as clearly as if he had been merely speaking. the language, instead of sing ing it to difficult music.
 His opening selection. Arecitative and aria. An. Moon of My Delight : was a beautiful example of this gift which he has developed to such an unusual degree,
 Every word of the song was as clearly understandab1e to every person in the audience. as it would have been from the lips Of an actor, who had nothing to do except declafrn his lines with appropriate emphasis. E Mccormack has the true actors voice, Joined to the true singers voice and art. His department and car riage on the stage are fau1t1ess His stage presence is all that could be de- sireds But he relies entirely upon his voice. and is entirely free from mannerisms and affectations of any kind.
 His voice has a peculiarly me1an- choly quality, and haunting charm, which makes 1t wonderfully effective in the simple music of the ballad, and which yet is not lost even in the tensest moments of the most dramatic song.
 The program was rendered as print ed with one exception. On his sec ond appearance the singer substituted Sylvia for Schubert's Ave Maria 2 The words of this dainty ballad are
