50 He can really learn only the dramatic
mechanics there-what we call tech
nique, the practical method and means
for the best expression OF art. He is
apt to get into the way of believing
that technique and art are one, but
nothing could be further from the facts.
1t is, in my opinion. the failure to per
.ceive and grasp this distinction that
marks all the difference between re
liable actor and creative actor, a
merely clever man and a man of large
dramatic calibre.' Adv.

WAR WON'T STOP
 JAPANESE EXHIBIT

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 1s,-Presi- dent Moore, of the Panama Pacific Exposition says:
 "slnce Japan declared war on Ger many, more than 11OOO additional square feet of exhibit space in the Palace of Manufacturers, has been added to Japans original allotment of 10000 square feet in this building.
 "Yasutaro Numano, consuIgeneral of Japan, in San Francisco, says;
 "Even though Japan is now com .pelled to enter tho vortex of war by her treaty obligations under the An. glo,Japanese alliance to maintain the perpetual peace in the far West, our plan of participation in exposition will in no way be affected.
 Considering that we made the most successful exhibit at the St. Louis exposition at the time of our struggle for national existence again st Russia, there is no room for any supposition that our plan will suffer from this war situation"

PROGRESS ON ALASKAN RAIL.
 ROAD.

It is good news that the end of sur vey work on the government railroad in Alaska is in sight,-"good news" to all the friends of Alaska.
 Lieutenant Frederick K. Mears, of the Alaska Railroad Commission, makes the important announcement that the examination of the routes un- der consideration will be completed before the end of October, and that the final report will be ready for the President prior to next February.
 It follows that choice of routes, and the beginning of actual construction ought not to be delayed very much longer. The sooner the road be built, the better for the rugged people of a grossly.neglected territory.-seattle Times.

PURCHASE OF SHIPS.

In the matter of the proposed pur- chase of foreign ships and placing them under the American flag the au- thorities at Washington City are re- ported to be somewhat worried over an ancient decision of the supreme court of the United States which might possibly, they think, be strained to apply to the present condition of affairs. The case referred to was that of The Georgia, reported in 7th Wall, S2. The decision was to the effect that a bona fide purchase by neu- tral in his home port of ship of war of a belllgerent that had fled to such port in order to escape from enemy vessels in pursuit, but which was dis mantled prior to the sale and after wards fitted up for the merchant ser vice, does not pass a title above the right of capture by the other belliger. ents.
 lt is conceived that posslDly sucn rule might apply to German vessels, now laid up in American ports, when such vessels were listed as part of the German naval reserves.
 The contention is far fetched, Those German vessels are not even public vessels" much less warships. They are the property of private corpor. ations and are strictly merchant ships. That there was an agreement between their owners and the German govern ment that, in certain contingencies, their government might take them over and convert them into warships does not alter their present status. They would not become warships op public ships until actually taken over by the German government and that has not been done.
 As merchant ships they come clear. | ly under the rule laid down by the supreme court of the United States, in the case of the Benito Estenger, 176 U. S., 55S, when the court quoted with approval the doctrine laid down in Halls International Law"
 "The right to purchase vessels is in principle admitted, they being them selves legitimate objects of trade as fully as any other kind of merchandise but the opportunities fo rfraud being great, the circumstances attending the sale are severely scrutinized and the transfer is not held to be good if it is subject to any condition or even tacit understanding by which the, vendor keeps an interest in the vessel or it's profits; control over it, Q power of revocation or a right to its restora- ton at the conclusion of war"
 This is substantially the doctrine accepted by the conference of London. This country has the perfect right to buy German ships, if the sales and the purchases are made in absolute good faith.-Seattle Post,Intelligencer.

GREAT NEW YORK
 PAPER PRAISES WILSON

Whatever of evil the war of na- tions may have brought upon us Americans. the country is indebted to 1t for clear reyealation of the eff ciency of the administration of Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson. The great machinery of government has funct- toned quickly and well. If we have seen in England fairly amazing sub siding of popular passion, but yester- day threatening war, we have witness ed on this side of the water similar and a most praiseworthy readiness to rise above partisanship and stand by the President in his effort to take in all possible sail and render the ship of state us safe as may be in the hurricane that has suddenly burst up- on it. Quietly and effectively every disposition has been made, without the slightest blowing of trumpets or hurrahing about it; if anything has been overlooked which might have been toreseen. it has yet to appear. While the credit for all this belongs to many men. the chief praise is, of course, due to the captain, who, face to face with a most distressing per sonal bereavement. yet continued to wreak himself upon his work precise Iy as if his mind were completely at ease as to all private affairs. He has met the national emergency with the same boise and skill with which he has held Congress to its work from the very inception of his administra- tion. The sneered,at college professor has shown again not only what it means to have communed with the worlds philosophers, but has demon strated the supreme value of rigid mental discipline as well. His hand on the helm has never wayered; his own coolness and steadiness under conditions which might have snap ped ulhLly d pugoASAAAg oSAOA5SA H have won him the unbounded admira- tion of the corps of newspaper men who have daily found him about the only outwardly unruffled man in the intense heat and fearful strain of Washington. They will not soon for get the eloquent words with which he outlined to them the gravity of the war crisis and the duty of the press words spoken primarily for them, but which they demanded for publication. And the public will not forget that his message rendering the good offices of this government to the warning na- tions of Europe was written at the bedside of his dying wife, In every way in this grave emergency he has given fresh proof of his marked ft- ness for the headship of the nation.- New York Evening Post.
