Agate and Onyx.

The distinction between agate and onyx is not apparent to every one, as is indicated by the samples of the two minerals received by the United States geological survey with requests for in- formation. Onyx marble, or Mexican onyx, is composed of calciuE carbon ate or banded limestone. True agate is q variety of silica. Onyx marble is much softer than agate and is rarely used for gems, but when onyx is ob- tained in pieces of sufficient size it is cut and polished for small ornamental objects like inkstands and paper weights, as well as for table tops and soda water fountains.

GREECE ON VERGE OF WAR
Aroused by Turks Prosecutions. Breaking of Diplomatic Negotia-
 tions Is Probable.

Diplomatic relations between Greece and Turkey have been strained to the breaking point over the persecution of Greek residents ill Asia Minor, accord ing to dispatch from Athens received in LondCn. The Greek government is preparing a protest to Constantinople on the subject. which, it is said, will virtually amount to an ultimatum.
 War between the two countries is considered we'll within the range of possibilities, in view of the attitude of M. Venizelos, who is now at the helm of governmental affairs in Athens. The chief grievance of the Greek govern ment is said to rest on the action of the Turkish authorities in driving 30O.- 900 Greeks. from their homes on the coast of Asia Minor recently.

BERLIN AGREES TO
 CONCILiATE J. s.
ChanCeII0r's Policy Adopted at i Meeting, Is Belief.
WILSON AWAITS REPORT.

No Further Steps Will Be Taken Until
 1t Is Received-Von Tirptz Bows to
 u. s. Demand on Submarine Policy, but Is Loath to Agree to Sending
 ~Disavowa" For Sinking of Arabic.
 It is understood in Berlin that Ger many's course with regard to the Arabic case has been decided upon and that it is ill line with the recent con- ciliatory statement by Dr. yOn Beth mann-Holweg, the German chancellor.
 This development followed the re- turn to Berlin of the chancellor. Ad- miral von Tirpttz and other partici- pants in the conference with the Ger man emperor at his headquarters on the eastern front.
 No official statement has been made regarding the German decision. but there seems ground for the belief that the government has adopted the view point set forth by the chancellor.
 Grand Admiral von Tirpitz. creator of the German submarine policy that gave rise to difficulties with America. believes with Chancellor Bethmann- Hollweg ard Foreign Secretary von Jagow that all differences with Amer lea should be adjusted at once.
 Won Tirpitz, it is understood, does not look with favor on formal dis avowal of the attack on the Arabic. He desires that most friendly rela- tions between the United States and Germany be established in the nego- tiations already i'll progress.
 ~ Awaiting German Report.
 Washington officials have now en- tered upon q period of waiting for the German report on the torpedoing of the Arabic. Until that is received no further step will be taken ill the nego- tiations to bring about q settlement of the submarine controversy.
 Tn the meantime the United States government is watching closely every evidence of the Berlin change of heart in regard to the submarine issue.
 The German ambassador has left Washington and will not return until the report on the Arabic has been re- ceived. As soon as it is at hand that case will be settled; then the Lusitania case and the question of guarantees for the future will be taken up.

MIRACLE MAN"
 POLrS OPENER

For a fall opening, the Poli play CTS could not have selected a much better production than George M. Cohan's last years play, "The Miracle Man." It has not yet been fully ex- plained how MT. Poli came to get such a nice, new, one-year- old play as this one, for generally a play fresh from BrOadway-Or the Metropolis, as they still say in Southwick-- is good for couple of seasons with road companies before it is thrown to the dogs of stock casts. Perhaps it is because the Poli companies can- not be classed as the latter that MT Cohan leased the play.
 That however, is neither here nor there. ''The Miracle Man." which opened at Polls yesterday is not the same play which first saw the light at the Parsons Theater a year ago. A season in the Metropolis" has done much for it; it has been polished up and shaved down and fitted with d new ending that is much more satis- factory if not quite so artistic.
