MEX. SITUATION

GAN CONFERENCE

Washington, Aug. Incorporation
of the Latin American countries with
the United states in settling the Mex
lean situation Is regarded as one OF
the most important diplomatic ar
rangements, touching the western
hemisphere, brought about In recent
years 1t is looked upon not only as
reassuring The nations Of Central and
South America of the friendly dispo'
sition Of the United states toward
them, but will be the means of a
closer cooperation on all lines wnere
the interests Of the countries touch.
This is the opinion Of senator Rob
ert L. owen Of Oklahora, who sever
al months ago urged at the White
House that countries Of Latin Amerf
ca be invited to join the United
states in its treatment of Mexico.
The question was recently discussed
by the Cabinet
IN recent years we have been as
surfing the countries to the south oil
us that we had no designs upon their
territories and that our prosperity
was In measure dependent upon
their prosperity' said Senator Owen
who is in Washington for short
time. Chose countries have been
inclined to look upon us in an en-
tIrely different light. The recent
Pan American conference, while q
commercial proposition, brought re-
preventative len of those nations to
our governing city, and they saw
that we we're friendly and anxious
that they should get the most for
their efforts, commercially. Expres-
sions to President Wilson during the
last few days from delegates and
men high in governmental affairs
dcwn tsere bear out the belief that
the conference will speedily bear
fruit

ious feeling. if such exists, to lbe wip-
ed out by the cooperation in Mex

properly has accorded to Latin 1mer-
lea a share Of the responsibility in
the bold stroke for humanity.
"The Mexi1an people, Of course,
want peace and want 1t with great
degree Of earnestness as any people
on the globe. They have been war
torn for nulber of years, reduced
to nothing commercially arii indi-

MADRID, Spain The first bull
fight ever held at night, which was
held here on July 8, proved such a
success that it is believed the custom
will be generally adopted throughout
Spain, especially during the warmest
portion of the summer. The novelty
of the first night bullfight attracted
such a crowd that the immense stad-
ium was filled to suffocation for there
was not a breath OF air stirring, and
this largely defeated the purpose of
the new idea, which was TO escape the
intense heat of the day.
The spectacle, however, was COM
plete success save for the lack of that
cleaning brightness and dead shade
which the Castillian sun alone can
produce Hundreds of arc lights made
the arena so brilliant that there ap-
peared to be no added risk to the
bullfighters themselves from any un-
familiar shadow.
The Spanish comic papers are anus
ing themselves and the people with
all sorts of droll conceptions of what
may become of some of the historic
terms and customs for so many CEN
turtles bound up with SPANS national
sport. 1t is suggested, for example,
that in place of calling the bleach
ers" of the ring the sun seats" these
cheaper places be termed moon
seats Instead, too, of the custom of
throwing at the feet of skilful tore
ador hats, canes, cushions and hand
- - . oil
of the crowd, it is limited that, at the
night bullfights, pocket electric lamps
and the incandescent globes that
light the terraced rows nf the sta6-
ium seats may come to be employed
for this purpose-to the discomfort
of the banderflleros and toreadors.

introduced in Meiji college SIX. years

tuition rose to first tank among the
opponents of the sport in Japan. On
several occasions they have been
champions of the islands. and have
always furnished keen competition
for their two closest rivals, the uni

Baseball was introduced 2S years
ago in Japan and since that time has
steadily increased in popularity on
the islands. Although It cannot yet
hardly be called the. national
pastime, still not q year goes by with
out adding hundreds and thousands
of enthusiastic fans to the supporters
OF the game. Practically all of the
institutions Of learning In Japan sup.
port large baseball squads, and the
keenest rivalry has grown up among
them much after the fashion OF the
competitive spirit which exists in the
various groups of American c011eges.
From time to time representative
amateur teams from the United States
make the trip to the Orient in order
to compete with the Japanese teams,
and as these in turn make correspond
ing visits to the states, the result has
been spread of good feeling between
the two nations, and as side issue
many of the customs of the American
universities. such as roofing at games,
have been introduced across the seas.
The ability which the Japanese
have exhibited during the past fifty
years in mastering both the theory
and practise of the mechanical arts of
foreign nations is equaIled by their
adeptness in picking up the fine points
