NEW RUSSIAN WAR HERO
FRIEND Of GEN. BARNETT
Gen. Kornilof and Marine Corps
Commander We're "Buddies"
at Picking.

Before Gen. Korniloff became tho
military hero Of Russia. gathering in
about dfty miles Of battle front and
threatening Lsmberg. the capital Of
Galaoda-when he was a mere colonel
and . very oon1enial msssroom enter
tainer, he and MAJ Gen. George Bar
nett, oonmandant Of the United States
Marine Corps. were very good bud
dies"
ago at Picking, where the then Col
Korniloff was the Russian military at
tache, just back from the Russian-Jap-
anese war. and Cen Barnett was COM
manding the American legation guard.
In those days Col. Korniloff was best
known as jolly companion. who spoke
a number Of languages.
One of his banQuets in the mess hall
Is wildly remembered by Gen. Barnett
and several officers OF the Marine Corps
who were with him in the Legation
Guard. 1t was just at the close of the
Russian-Japanese war and was the hrst
dinner given by . Russian ofacer to q
Japanese officer. Maj. Gen. Aoki. who
was then the Japanese military at
tache at Picking. was the guest Of
honor.
Outside members of tho Russian
guard were singing their national songs
and making merry In their peculiar
dances. Col. Korniloff arose and pro-
posed toast to Gen. Aoki. Just as 1t
was being drunk the doors swung open
the guard. who seised Gen. Aoki and
threw him up to the ceiling several
times. catching him in their arms and
tossing him from group to group.
This was very amusing to the rest
of the diners. but startling to the Jap
anese general, who was quite stout and
very dignined, but it helped wonder
fully to break the ioe and re-sstablish
cordial relations between the Japanese
and Russian soldiers ut that post.

20 clsar up tho misunderstanding r.

shoe and leather committee Of the coun-
oil Of national defense in government
shoe contracts. Julius Rosenwald, chair
councils advisory commission, today
made public q statement explaining the
circumstances Of the governments pur-
chase OF shoes on May 20.
Mr.. Rosenwald stated that the awards

The quartermasters department
awarded the contracts exactly a. 10
done in peace time. he, states. tho only
were made in advance for options on
raw materials.
In explanation Of the securing Of op-
tons on raw materials, Mr.. Aoseawald
said:
Prices Of merchandise, including all
shoe materials. have been advancing
rapidly for some time. Under the usual
method Of procedure by tho War De-
partment, each manufacturer desiring
60 into the market and sndeavor to
secure on option the necessary leather
and other materials needed to produce
TIA shoes on which he intended to bid.
II these manufacturers had gone into
options for leather and other mer-
chanAise for this amount Of shoes, the
unprecedented demand would imme-
diatsly have advanced the market ma
tsrial1y. Such result would not only
have caused . higher price to the gov
eminent for its requirements, hut .
hi4hor price to all civilians for their
40 ,obviats Just this din,caity. I re-
qussted the committee Of shoe and
leather industries to secure options on
the entire amount Of leather and other
important items necessary for the re-
quirsmsnts Of the government which
were to be placed on May 20. These
options were secured by the committee
for the government for the benefit Of
any manufacturer receiving an award
on May 70. Instead Of forty-seven
manufacturers going into the market
to secure the options, one option was
secured. only one demand was made on
the tanners and that demand was pre-
sentsd to them in such way that their
cooperation was enlisted in our en-
deavor to hold down the price OF
merchandise"

AN ANCIENT JAPANESE ART
Embroidery Made in FIowery Kingdom
for Centuries Before Country
Was Opened to World.

Japanese embroidery, now so popu-
lar in this country, is one of the oldest
arts of the mikado's people. For cen
turtles before the country was opened
to foreign intercourse heavily embroid-
cred silk kimonos, screens, and other
articles We're made by professional
embroidery experts, principally in
Kyoto. This same profession con
tfnues today, having been handed
down from father to son for many gem
eratfons. For this reason the center
OF the country's art-embroidery indus
try is at Kyoto, although cheaper en-
brolderles, principally for export, are
produced in large quantities in other
part of the Kobe district.
The majority of the workers in Kyo-
to are men, who produce the finer
grades of embroidery. 1t is essentially
a household industry, and is usually
conducted in small shops, where from
three to ten apprentices and skilled
embroidery are employed. The men
received from 40 to Is cents gold per
day. The women, however, are able
to earn from 10 to so. cents gold per
day, depending upon their ability and
diligence.
The manufacture of handmade lace
is a comparatively new Industry in
Japan, as lace was not used by the
Japanese before the advent of foreign
ers. The industry is still in its in
fancy, and the output is small.

elusive and mysterious that no.
body could read even a few OF
them, brought. him pictures OF
mountains wrapped in shadows
like purple velvet, Of hillsides gay
in the royal splendor Of October's
green and gold, of lovers, bare
armed and with mouths that were
to each other like honey, of a
woman whose smile had shone
through many centuries, of men
going in their gorgeous strength
to battle and death.
These pictures" the man said,
were made by the great dream
ers of the world, so that all other
men, less fortunate, might be able
to see from afar how splendid it is
to dream. And, if you call me, l
shall come again and show you
more of the great pictures men
have made"
And the young mans smile was
more radiant than ever because
he had been led into the company
Of dreamers. Its beauty was not
disturbed, even the slightest bit,
when the bent old man suggested
that he still was far from the
House of Happiness.
"The perfume of the flowers
about me-" he said one day, "is
exquisite, but surely there are
sweeter fragrances to be found.
Cannot my senses be wooed by
la perfume surprising all thesei"
There came up swiftly from one
of the fields a little woman who
was Of great age, and she carried
very carefully in her hand a tear
jar like those that were fashioned
centuries ago for the women of
|China. And she removed it's
stopper and held it close to the
young mans nostrils. The sweet
ness of it was ineffable, so over
that for a moment he
nearly swooned away.
This, she said, lis the breath
|of a flower that bloomed a thous-
and thousand years ago. Few of
the SONS Of men ever knew of it.

When she was gone, the young
man smiled again, and his joy was
SO great that he sighed after he
had smiled. But he did not sigh
when the bent old man pointed out
that the House of Happiness was
yet q long way off.
Women have been kind to
me, he said on another day, and
their arms have been warm about
me, and they have sung to me BY
day and by night all the songs
that stir the souls Of men. But
surely there must be in this per-
