Bishop Edsall's career is remark

became too strong to resist and in
1887 he abandoned a prosperous ca

mission in Chicago. In eleven years
/ the st. Peter mission that he founded
was one of the largest parishes in Chi
ca go with a communicate list of over
500. Starting in as a lay reader in this
parish he became successfully deacon,
priest and bishop. In 1898 he was
elected missionary bishop of North
! Dakota and made a signal success in
his handling of work among the In
dams. For the past fourteen years
he has been bishop of Minnesota
His visit to Topeka is at his own
| expense and is the result of his inter-

object of which is to establish great

PEACE PACT FAILS
Germans Unsuccessful in Max
ing Jap Treaty.
MOngOlians Declare They'll
"Stick" Until War Ends.

Toxic. Feb. 14.-Confirmation of
reports that Germany has been unsuc-
cessfully trying to conclude a separ-
ate peace with Japan was made by
Count Okuma, the premier, in an in
terview with representative of the
Kokumin Shimbun. The premier be-
lieved this indicated that Germany
was showing certain signs of suffering,
chiefly a result of the weakened
condition of her finances.
While no details of the peace ne
gotiationS were made public, the pre-
mier said it was hardly necessary to
announce that Japan would adhere to
the London peace declaration by
which she mad agreed not to make a
separate peace.
Criticism in some quarters has
arisen because Japan's adhesion to the
London peace declaration was under
taken by the government without con-
sultation with the privy council, but
in defending the governments action,
Count Okuma declared it was a natur-
al result of the declaration of war by
Japan upon Germany.
Japs Growing in Favor.
1.-The fact" he said, that the anti
Japanese sentiment in Canada, the
United States, Australia and other
countries has gradually subsidized and
is being replaced with a favorable SEN
timent towards Japan is due to our
acts of loyalty to pledges"
At the same time the premier made
the important announcement that
Japan is about to obtain from Russia
certain concessions in forestry, min
| ing and other industries in the north
ern half of Saghalien Island, which is
owned by Russia. The southern half of
this island was acquired by Japan at
the conclusion of the so-Japanese
war.

Concessions From China.
Speaking of the relations with
China, he pointed out that Baron
Kato, the former foreign minister,
was able to secure various concessions
in Manchuria and Mongolia and to
extend the railway and other conces-
sions to 80 years without moving a
single soldier or manoeuvring single
warship" and he had done this while
conversing with Chinese officials with
smiles ON his face"
Even if the present disturbance
should spread throughout China" he
continued. our country need not mo-
Billie troops there. If a portion OF
our fleet should take some action in
the rivers, lakes, or along the coast OF
China it would be sufficient In case
of necessity we are prepared to I'M
dertake to protect Europeans and
Americans as well as our own fellow

The Personal Touch.
Mr.. Howe pointed out that indivi-
dual charity lends a personal touch,
which organized charity lacks.
When men or women interest
themselves in some unfortunate boy
or girl, some family or some unfor-
tunate. individual" he continued,
they study needS, ascertain tnelr
weaknesses and causes and determine
upon remedies. They do not make one
visit but many. They follow up the
work. The necessary wants are ad-
ministered with less expenditure of
money than by any other system.
About all they need is a little energy
and some time.
IF every man or woman, even
though they be only in moderate cir
cumstances. should look over the field
of poverty in their city or community,
select some boy or girl, or perhaps
some poor mother with a large fam
lily, or some family who has been
brought to the door of poverty be

cial reverses, within a short time they
could remove the family from it's con-
