Newspapers of Pctrograd
Comment On His
Election.

PETROGliAD, Nov 12.-(3 p. m,
Via London. 1915 y. mD-The Rus
sian newspapers comment briefly and
reserNedly on the reelection OF presi-
dent Wilson confining themselves in
general to the conclusion that "A moro
decisive foreign policy is as much to
be expected under MIR. Wilson as It
would have been under Mr. Hughes.
The Novoc Nrcmya looks for IA more
determined attitude on the part of the
American government toward sub
marine warfare now that President
wilson Is no longer prcoccupied with
the political campaign" and adds:
American political history shows
that the president usually commits
himself to IA more definite policy dur
ing his second administration. Pres
ident Wilson will not now be bound
by considerations of political prudence
and Will show greater freedom of ac-
ton. The victorious candidate can
rot help seeing that half the nation
require from him not so much pact

ago that he would not permit piracy,
but, busy with the election he has
not had time to make good this pro-
nouncement and Germany has CON
tinued to sink ships at the very shores

The Bourse Gazette says that since
the election depended more on inter-
nal than international issues the result
can not greatly interest Europe. ST
adds:
The American nation endorses
President Wilson'S policy of peace
II has voted for "A president who cX-
erted all his energy to prevent the
country from going to war. and at the
same time tried to maintain national
dignity. But recent German subma-
rine attacks show how difficult IL is

IT'S A LAND OF LOVELY
WOMEN--AND VOLCANOES

The original Indians were of
a cultured race which mixed we'll
with the Spanish. Hence these
Costa Rican women with their
heavy black hair are truly attrac-
tive as we'll as good-natured and
upright.
San Jose lies I'm the center of
Costa RIGA, 1000 feet above the
sea.
Like every South American
capital, San Jose has its open
squares In the center of the city.
Its opera house is far handsomer
than anything of its kind in the
United States. 1t is said to have
cost $1.500,O00.
Although the movies can be
seen in San Jose. as in every other
city of the world, yet the young
people OF Costa RIGA see also the
finest operas and concerts that the
world produces.
When one sits under the
peaceful shade trees of Morazan
park amid the flowers and birds,
while the military band is play
ing the national airs, he forgets
the great fiery furnace under
meath.
Yet sometime this volcano will
burst forth again. The fact that
the Costa Ricans still build only
one-story houses, shows that they
expect another explosion.

CHAPTER III.
The Underground Passage.


The morning wrought no
change in either the island or the
fog. The former was even more
forbidding by daylight than by
night; the latter became transin-
Gently impenetrable in its misty.
whiteness.
1t did, however, clear up our
uncertainty as to the opening in
the cliff. 1t was cleft and not a
shadow; ford, such as is in
Norway, but narrow and curved
just inside the entrance.
When we had finished break
fast, and had our smoke on deck .
in the comfortable wicker chairs

tackle the island-choosin
Hatch. the boatswain, and Conner,
a particularly able-bodied seaman,
to accompany us, In addition to
Snyder, the mechanician, who ran
the launch. Against the event OF
need, five repeating rifles were
put aboard. and each of us had an
automatic revolver in shoulder
holster.
You'll be back for luncheon,
remember! Rosalind called.

with a wave OF the hand. we were
gone. Il directed Dorwald," said
he. Gin case we're not back by 4
o'clock, to stand in as close as
practicable and dispatch boat to
investigate, but in no event land
unless something extraordinary
happens.
The swell of the waves in the
narrow entrance required, to my
unprofessional eye, very expert
manipulation, yet Hatch managed
it without difficulty; and once in
side. we rode at ease in the quiet
water caused by the abrupt turn
in the passage. My last view of
the Buccaneer, as We shot Ground
the rocky ledge, was Rosalind by
the rail vigorously waving her
handkerchief.

exclaimed.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, If you
are a bachelor and want a healthy
happy wife, look for her in this
place. l will not vouch for the
statistics, but l have it from an
English authority on Central
America that "in San Jose there
are four maids to every boy
Certainly, there are many more
women than men and for that
reason the women take great pains
to make themselves attractive and
agreeable.
Even early in the morning on
rainy day, when our Chicago
girls are going about the house
with their hair down and XII
mona on, these Costa RIGA girls
are running about as IL dressed
for a ball.
They almost invariably wear a
pretty muslin frock and smart
satin slippers. They often wear
a bright shawl, as 1t is chilly in
San Jose at morning and night.
1t is said that the Costa Ricans
are the purest Spanish type in the
western hemisphere, and that
there were very few negroes In
the country until few years ago.
These negroes were brought 20

Fruit companies.
