Suddenly the Swede dropped his

Mark gave himself anew to his work,
with sudden inner expansion. Not
Henley. but the submissiveness of his

of that expansion.
Mark learned that there are a right
method and a wrong of doing even
the simple task of plying a shovel;
that there is a fashion of handling
even SO common an animal as the day
laborer which brings out his highest
efficiency. He found. moreover that
he had the gift-granted as often to

and the wise-of popularity. Men

OH Company,s Picking representa-
tive): During the revolution Of 1911
the standing army in China amounted
to approximately 100000 men In the
field. This army was mainly support
ed by the provinces The army OF
China was never until the last year
considered national unit, but In 1914
the central government inaugurated q
plan to pay off this army and to make
the military force unit in the ma.
tional government. President Yuan
Shih-kai has succeeded in large mea-
sure in this undertaking. but any one
can readily see that it has been q
heavy drain on the national resources.
AS evidence Of the confidence Of the
people in the government, Ecite the
fact that five months ago domestic
loan Of $4,000 600 was oversubscribed
two months after it was issued.

Less has been heard of Hungarian dissatis-
faction and the Dual Monarchy s internal trou-
bles since Count Leopold Won Berchtold, the
Austrian minister of foreign affairs, was retired
and Baron Stephan Burian Won Rajecz replaced
him. -
Won Rajecz is true Hungarian, with plenty
Of support among his own people and with the
respect Of The Austrian people. Won Berchtold
could not satisfy Hungary as to the conduct OF
the war, though the Hungarians stood firmly
By Vienna when the drastic note to Servia pre-
cipitated the open breach. Furthermore, Won
Berchtold s influence IN Roumania has been on
the wane, If widespread reports are to be cred
tied, and above all Austria Hungary has been
anxious to hold the Roumanians to the offensive
and defensive alliance in force when the war
broke out.
Hungarian leaders headed the war party last
summer and with Hungarian premier, Vienna
need not fear but that Budapest will give all
the assistance possible.
Won Berchtold had asked several times for
permission to retire, but this permission was
not granted, according to London reports.
That he was allowed to quit bis important
post while the war was on is pretty good proof
Of serious dissatisfaction with his conduct of
office. Baron Burian was once the Austro-
Hungarian minister of finance and is skilled in
diplomacy.

THE POINT OF FRICTION.

Americans who have lived In Japan, or who
have visited the Orient to study social and po-
litical conditions, almost invariably disagree
.emphatically with the startling sentiments
often heard in Congress and elsewhere in the
United States concerning the possibility of war
with Japan.
The Star Bulletin on Saturday published part
Of very interesting article by Eliza r. Scid-
moree dealing with Japan's part in the war
an appreciation of the Japanese position from
one well qualified to speak. Indirectly that
article is fundamentally opposed to the idea
that Japan will risk a breach of relations
with the United States provided Japan is
treated fairly on the immigration question.
Directly in accord with Miss Scidmore IS con-
illusions, and quite as interesting for its own
information, is the view expressed few weeks
ago by Martin Egan, former editor of the
Manila Times and newspaper man of much
experience in the Orient. Testifying before the
senate Philippine committee he said:
ITO me it has always seemed that the Philippines
would be incidental to any difficulty might have
with Japan and not the of any difficulty with
Japan; and have always felt that there was never
any real necessity for trouble with the Japanese
are prepared to treat them fairly ! am unable
to see any necessity for armed conflict for the
so-called mastery of the Pacific. am unable to
see anything there that we have that they want
or that they have that we want. We have one or
two points Of danger. and one of them is in this
very question Of immigration and think we fail

France to confer with President Will

siblc peace ovartures. The confor.
cnce was granted for two o'clock this
afternoon.
In asking for the appointment
Am bassador Jusserand said ne de-
sired to personally thank President
Wilson for recently interceding in
behalf of two French women cor
demned to death by the Germans on
a charge of espionage.
Washington is firm in the belief
that peace move is likely soon de-
spite the announced purpose of the
ambassadors visit to the White
House and Premier Brands speech
declaring against any peace that did
not accompany victory.
If the move comes it is expected
to be through some diplomat in
Washington and for that reason Jus
serand's visit was the subject of
much comment.
