No Demands by Great britain.

The Daily Chronicle believes Ameri-
can opinion will certainly fasten upon
the significant absence in the Entente
note of any demand by Great Britain.
1t says
This self-effacement cannot fail to
impress public opinion in the United
States. 1t furnishes fresh proofs that
we did not enter the war from lust for
dominion or any desire to destroy an in
convenient commercial rival, but simply
from an overwhelming sense of duty
Our disiDtcrestedness will
remind the Americans of their relin-
quishment of Cuba to the Cubans and
Great Britain's bestowing of autonomy
on South Africa after the war"
Concerning the German note to the
neutrals the Chronicle says TT seems
to have definitely closed the door to
peace, which until its issuance remained
ajar In these unpromising circum-
stances il is not likely that President
Wilson for the time being will continue
his high minded efforts to act as "A peace
maker. but when the hour is ripe we
hope he will grasp the skirts of the
happy chance As the head of "A State
not involved in the war he has sacred
obligations to humanity to do what Is
in his power to end the bloodshed and
devastation.

BRITISH PEACE
TALK HOPEFUL
Papers Think Reply Stating
Terms Should Be Satisfac-
tory to Wilson.

LONDON. Jan. 12.-That the reply Of
a long way toward satisfying his re-
quest for specific information as to the
objects for which they are persisting in
the war is the general opinion here. 1t
is voiced by the Manchester Guardian
which says the note is conceived in
wholly different spirit from Germanys
reply.
The Allies put their aims high" says
the Guardian, They are perhaps the
maximum rather than minimum terms
But the Allies are ca-afui to state that
the ruin or political destruction of the
Germanic Powers forms no part of their
objects. which is as it should be. One
thing we miss and that Is a clear state
ment that they look forward to the
American proposal of league to en-
force peace as an essential part Of the
guarantees for the future which are to
be included in the conditions of peace.
but this may be implied and we trust it
is intended"
After quoting the terms outlined by
the Entente Allies In the note the West
minister Gazette says: There is MOTH
ing in these aims which threatens the
existence or political independence of
the Germanic people. There is nothing
We may add in which unmilitarized Ger
many and Austria might not cooperate il
| they were willing. abandoning the idea
Of forcing German kultur and ascend

| The Daily Ne,cs comedies that the Ger
, man note to neutrals is not without
| merits as 1t probably makes the best Of
the case, but contends that its generaliza.

arguments almost wholly false. The

Takes Hopeful View.
After remarking that when Germany
states her terms they will doubtless seem
utterly incapable of reconciliation with
the demands of the Allies the NerS con-
tinueS: Few movements toward nego-
tiation begin otherwise. II is inevitable
that contrasts and antagonisms should
make the first claim on public atten-
| ton. Distant as any praC-
| tical accommodation still appears We
cannot suppose that President Wilson
regrets asking the belligerents to state

There may be a long road TO travel yet.

Queries Of Diplomats.

These are all questions on diplomatic
lips to-day. All remain unanswered,
though intimatons persist that some
spectacular action from the White House
is virtually certain.
The President discussed the Entente
note at the Cabinet meeting o-day but
the strictest secrecy has been enjoIned
upon all of his official family as to what
ever move is in contemplation Tho
Cabinet denied even that the note had
been discussed. We talked only about
routine business was the reply from
them as they left the White House late
in the afternoon
Secretary Lansing remained with the
President long after the others had dee
parted, They left the Executive offices
together and went to the White House
to continue their talk.
At the morning conference with the
newspaper correspondents Mr.. Lansing
declined to comment in any way on the
note. The intmation has been clear
that II would he sent to Germany, pos
sibly with some addendum of the Presi-
dent. and this means may be adopted by
the President for getting the defence ot
his peace mannuvres before the world.
But this has not yet been decided.
Mr.. Lansing declined to say whether
the note would be transmitted to Ger
many at all, 1t is explained that such a
move might remain in abeyance until
Germany had replied fully in a subse-
quent communication relative to terms.

ToLsToY NO MUSIC LOVER
Great Russian Voiced His Aversion to
Wagner in Particular in Terms
Beyond Misunderstanding.

Some journals of Leo Tolstoy that
have been published show, among other
things, that he had peculiar taste in
music. He did not admire Beethoven,
and he could not sit through single
act of Wagner's "Siegfried." OF this
opera he wrote: ut is stupid, unfit for
children above seven years of age, a
Punch and Judy show, pretentious,
feigned, entirely false and without any
music whatever" In his home at Vas
maya Polyana members of the house
hold were once in the habit of playing
necessarily on four grand pianos, rea-
son enough, one might think, why he
should dislike all music forever, Re-
calling this, he said: "All this--the ro-
mances, the poems, the music-was
not art, something important and nee
essary to people in general, but a self
indulgence of robbers, parasites, who
have nothing in common life; rO-
mances, novels about how one falls in
love disguStingly, poetry about this or
about how one languishes from bore
dom. And music about the same theme.
But life, all life seethes with its own
problems of food, distribution, labor,
about faith, about the relations of men.
1t is shameful. nasty. Help me, Fa-
ther, to serve thee, by showing up this
lie!"

Before the war about half the mem
tho crystals exported from Japan
were sent TO Germany. Since the out
break of the war the United States
has become the largest purchaser OF
these crystals, followed In order by
Great Britain. France and British In

$3.50 a pound during the last five
years, remaining most Of tie time near
the higher mark. Recent improve

Best Listener in the World.

The horse is really one of the best
listeners in the world. He is always
on the alert for sounds which concern
or interest him. When he looks at any
thing he turns his ears toward it to
observe the better whether any sound
comes from it. Ii a horse is particu-
larry interested in your driving of him
he always turns his ears backward to-
ward you. but if he has no concern on
that subject or if he sees anything
ahead that interests him he keeps his
ears pricked forward. a horse hears
the whinny of another horse at & great
er distance than the average Ian can
hear it.

full of wonderful and mysterious
tales, and wen2 your way to the cas-
tie. You take your time climbing the
spiral, uneven stone steps of the keep,
for they are very steep and long. But,
at last, you reach the top and stop to
look east, west, north and south, at
the charming views; little green and
brown fields, marked off by hedges,
dark clumpS of woodland here and
there sparkling blue lake or a daz-
zling clump of gorSe. But you soon
hear stified shrieks and ordinations
from the other side of the parapet, so
you make your way to the spot Yes,
there someone is about to kiss the
Blarney stone. A big stalwart youth
is lying down upon his back, his head
towards a square opening in the out
err wall 0f the parapet; another strong
youth, perhaps t'yO of them, sit down
upon his feet, so as to hold them firm
~. Then the seeker after eloquence
grasps an iron bar placed in position
for this purpose, swings himself down
through the opening in the parapet re-
ferred to, pulls himself up again on the
outside, and just manages to kiss the
surface of the Barney Stone; then, be-
ing strong and 1.-the. he jerks his head
back in again and suddenly he is again
sitting up on the floor of the parapet
and the others boys are letting go of
his feet. 1t wasn't so hard to do after
all, you think; at least, not if you are
a strong young boy who does not mind
looking down all those giddy feet to
the trees growing against the foot of
the keep. But, doubtless, you are wise
enough to content yourself with watch
ing others kiss the Barney Stone and
with buying a post card showing the
famous stone, with it's Latin inscrip-
ton, "Cormac MacCarthy Forts Me
Fieri Fecit, A. ID. 1446," which, trans
lated in Irish, means
"Cormae Mccarthy, bould as bricks,
Made me in Fourteen FOrty-six.'
Really, you know, it does not pay
TO go to the trouble of kissing the
stone, for it may even not be the
identical one which Cormac MacCarthy
the Strong knew Many people insist
that that stone was long ago removed
from its position, that this is not the
genuine stone at all at any rate, it
seems that the stone once fell from its
place. Probably 1t is as well to &C.
quire eloquence in some other way.

Careful Examination, Simply APP

Cows go lame. Instead Of making
a careful examination to find out the
cause, we use a lot of liniment and

perhaps that the trouble was due to
