accompanied him to Washington to be
a part of an inaugural parade. All the

The governor sat on his horse await

time to time an orderly would gallop
up with an official communication. On
each occasion Colonel Halle was by
his side. At last the governor OBJ.

Stone, Head of Foreign Relations
Committee Awaits Complete
Facts About Lusitana.

Washington, D. Ex-senator w. ].
Stone, chairman of the committee on
foreign relations of the senate, who
is in Washington, was not inclined
to comment freely on the sinking of
the. Lusitana in. the absence of de-
tails, and said he preferred to wait
until all the facts were known.
IF it is merely a question Of a loss
of the ship" he said, "the United
States can not be concerned. That
would be a matter solely between
Great Britain and Germany, as the
Lusitana was British-owned vessel
"Our concern, of course, is for the
safety of American passengers. We
have no interest in the sinking of an
English ship; that is. no special in
terest. OF course, we have a general
interest in such matters"

Japanese advisers in Chinese polit-
ical, financial and military affairs ana
other comprehensive concessions.
With this important concession on
the part of Japan and the reported &C
ceptance by China of Japan's other
demands, peace seemed certain. A
cessation of Japan's warlike prepare
tions was expected to follow yester'
days official announcement.

Pekin, China-The Chinese gov.
eminent has sent new reply to
Japan which is expected to avert a
serious crisis. While the text is as
yet unknown, officials say that in
effect it is an acceptance, under pro-
test, of the chief Japanese demands.
1t is reported, President Yuan Shi
Kai's advisers, after an all-night con-
ference, decided that it would be sui
cidal to attempt to oppose the Japa-
nese demands by force of arms.
OF course it is not yet known wheth-

suffice for Japan. There has been an
evident disposition on the part of the
Japanese to insist on the very letter
of their demands and there is the
possibility that they will still do so,
but the situation is very much bright.

DELICACY.
Copyright, 1915. by DR.. Frank crane.)

1t was said of Matthew Arnold that
In all the departments Of human life
he applied the criterion of delicacy.
"a finely touched nature" he said,
will respect in itself the sense of deli
cacy not less than the sense Of hon
esty.''
Delicacy is no virtue: it is the flavor
of all virtues.
1t is not goodness: it is goodness
filtered through modesty.
It Is the gentle hand of the coura-
geous heart.
It is that quality without which the
most efficient man cannot be gentle
man. and the most accomplished wom-
an cannot be lady.
1t cannot be explained to you; you
must absorb it. 1t cannot be learned;
it must be assimilated.
The lack of delicacy has spoiled many
a mans career. Nothing is 30 great
an element of weakness in a crisis as
a certain coarseness.
Most fallen American idols owe their
collapse to the fact that in some cru
cial moment they offended the delicacy
of the people.
These things are fatal to delicacy:
Egotism. All thrusting forward OF

summate flower of good breeding Is
humility, not assumed. but felt:
Undue esteem of success. particularly
when it implies possessions Of fame.
This argues gross worldliness of char
acter and lack of appreciation of the
nobler human qualities.
Selfshness, whether seeking the best
meats at table. the best seat in the

sort, or the more subtle coarseness of
monopolizing the conversation. or max

dressing or jewelry.
Insincerity. This is the besetting sin
of writer's who desire popularity at any
cost. The slightest deviation from
the line of clear conviction" writes
Mr. G. w. E. Russell, "the least turn
ing to left or right in order to cocker
a prejudice or please an audience or
fiatter class shows a want Of deli
cacy. a preference Of present favor to
permanent self-respect."

"Ah!' said Rivarol, no one considers
how much pain any man Of taste has
to suffer before he inficts any"

All good qualities have a line which
they may not pass beyond. else they

This does not alter the fact, how
ever. that a certain amount of woman
liness marks the complete man; the
will of steel must be gloved in velvet

tempered with kindness. wisdom
must be suffused with modesty. con-
