ealzac's Hatred of Tobacco.

Perhaps no celebrated author was
more hostile toward tobacco than
Balzac 1t is true that Lamartine
speaks of the novelist's teeth as black
ened by cigar smoke, but Lamartine
was not intimate with Balzac. Gau-
tier on the other hand knew him well
and wrote eloquently about his hatred
of tobacco, Balzac's ruling passion
was coffee. which injured him and
perhaps killed him. In some OF his
novels he mathematics tobacco.
When he allows some of his characters

That He Act AS Peace Envoy.

Washington.-Will ]. Bryan an
nounced that he had taken under adj
visement suggestion from editors of
foreign-language newspapers publish
ed in the United States that he make
a trip to Europe as a private peace
envoy to the warning powers.
In statement to committee of
the editors, who, headed by DR.. Will
liam Fargo, had urged him to under
take the task, Mr.. Bryan indicated
that he might at least visit neutral
European countries in the hope of
finding there information to aid Amer
lea in the maintaining of neutrality
and the prevention of preparedness
that provokes rather than prevents
war"
Mr.. Bryan said that if he decided to
make the trip he would go not as a
spokesman of any special group, but
as "a representative of the peace SEN
timent of the United States, which in
cludes the vast majority of our peo-
pie"

able adjustment of the controversies
between the United States and Ger
many depend entirely on the attitude
which the Berlin Foreign Office Will
take toward the recommendations
made by Count Won Bernstorf, the
German Ambassador, following his
conference with Secretary Lansing.
Details of the conference became
known, throwing light on the critical
point that had been reached in the
relations between the two countries,
The Washington government was al
most ready to severe diplomatic rela-
tions, but decided to delay taking any
step until Germany could be furnished
the evidence in its possession on the
Arabic case.
Friendliness and candor are under
stood to have characterized the con-
versation between Mr.. Lansing and
the Ambassador The latter now has
been given an opportunity TO COM
municate freely with his government,
so that it may be clearly understood
in Berlin why officials here are con-
WINGED that the torpedoing OF the
Arabic could not have been mistake,
justified or unjustified
In view of the evidence, the United
States wants a disavowal of the act
and this was made clear to Count
Won Bernstorff. Arbitration cannot be
an issue for consideration until the
attitude of the German government
toward the act itself is placed on rec
ord. Later the American government
may take under consideration pro-
posal to arbitrate, not the principle,
but what indemnity should be paid
for lives lost

LINER HESPER|AN
CLOSED INCIDENT
Washington Disposed to Believe
Mine Sank Ship.
NO U-B0AT NEAR AT TIME
The Outlook For a Friendly Settle
ment Of Difference With Ger
many Now Deemed Most
Favorable

Washington.-The case of the Allan
liner Hesperian, which was destroyed
by an explosion about two weeks ago
near Fasnet, has become practically a
closed incident at the State Depart
ment
Secretary Lansing received the re-
port of the German Admiralty in this
case and the department is disposed
to accept the German explanation.
The main point in the Admiralty re-
port is that the vessel could not have
been destroyed by German torpedo,
for the reason that the reports from
submarines at the time of the accident
show that none of them was in that
locality. 1t is admitted by officials
that without positive proof to the con-
trary this statement would be con-
elusive. 1t is conceded also that from
the evidence sent to the State Depart
ment by Consul Frost at Queenstown
and from Ambassador Page at Lon
don the department was obliged to
conclude that no proof had been of
fered to connect German submarine
with the incident.
Fragments Not Preserved.
1t has been asserted by officers Of
the Hesperian that they saw "frag-
ments of a torpedo" on deck. No one
however, saw a submarine, and so far
as is known the fragments referred to
were not preserved. Had the officers
preserved the fragments it would
have been possible to ascertain
whether they were part of torpedo
or a mine.
In the case of the Nebraskan, frag-
ments of metal were preserved and
were submitted to an expert commits
sion of the Navy Department here.
The report of that board has never
been made public, but it is known that
the board decided the fragments were
pieces of a torpedo. The question did
not become important as Germany
subsequently admitted that the Ne
braskan had been torpedoed. 1t is
likely, therefore, that the theory of
the Hesperian having struck a mine
will be accepted unless some positive
evidence to the contrary, not now in
sight, is obtained.
Differences Disappearing.
The friendly settlement by the
United States and Germany of the
cases of the Hesperian and the
Orduna has increased the expectation
that a general understanding between
the two countries is fast approaching.
Officials do not discount the state
ment attributed to Count Won Bern
storff, the German Ambassador, in
New York, to the effect that final
and amicable settlement on all issues
could be looked for within probably
two weeks. This expectation is sup
ported by the statement of officials
made here again that there is no ques-
ton of an ultimatum between the
United States and Germany in the dis
pute over the Arabic.
1t is also pointed out that diplomacy
tided over a break in the case of the
Lusitania, and it is expected that in
Germany's next note on the Arabic
she will clear the way for settle
ment of that issue.

Main Hope In carranza.

1t is true, of course, that CarTanza
has not yet been recognized. He has
not yet given evidence of complete
domination of the republic. He has
not yet conquered the opposing fac
tionalists and has not yet set himself
up in Mexico City.
But he has proceeded far toward
those ends. He is in absolute control
of four-ffths of the country, He holds
every important seaport on both
coasts. His army has occupied Mex
leo City and done much to relieve
the suffering there. He has driven
Zapata into the mountains of the
southern provinces and has pursued
Villa to the American border. He has
set up sort of constitutional gov
eminent in the territory which his
armies command.
Moreover, the Constitutionalist
cause in Mexico seems to represent
about all that is civilized in the re-
public. 1t has attracted to its stand
ard many of the most patriotic people
there, and if there is any hope of en-
lightened self-government in any ele-
ment in the country, that hope seems
Just now to centre in Carranza and his
following.
