ARCHANGEL, Sunday, May 4 (by

Helsingfors dispatch stating that the

Russia a number have already been

PARIS, France. May st is being
widely reported here that the only
nation in Europe entirely satisfied
with the peace terms is Great Britain.
Diplomats of all nations are. COM
menting with admiration not only on
the individual worth of the various
British delegates, but on the con-
summate skill with which the British
team has conducted the negotiations,
keeping on good terms with every one
and acting as mediator in disputes,
wants.
About to Realize Aims.
Indeed. the island empire apparent
ly is about to realize the aims it has
patiently followed through centuries.
AS one French diplomat said to me:
Lord Robert Cecil's ancestor, who
was foreign minister under Queen
Elisabeth. could readily sign this
treaty"
Britain issued from the war. with
regards the pre-eminence OF her fleet
or her control of the sea routes. In
the colonial field also she practically
eliminates competition. The manda-
tory system. which. all diplomats
agree, is simply a new form OF pro-
tectorate, will result in extending her
dominion over German Southwest
Africa, thus making the whole OF
South Africa British; over German
East Africa and over Mesopotamia
and Syria, thus practically linking
Egypt to India right across Asia.
British Power Unquestioned.
While it is true the United States
will remain supreme in the two
Americas, British supremacy In Eu'
rope. Africa and Oceania and Britain's
great power in Asia can hardly be
questioned 1t is all brilliant
achievement.

MAJESTY OF THE LAW
WEIGHT 300, OVERTAKES
FUGITIVE, WEIGHT 100

When three-hundred pound man
undertakes to overtake a l60-pound
man in footrace does he usually do
it? He does not. When there are
hurdles to be cleared the odds are
even longer.
But not so with Marcus Hines,
mounted customs inspector at Santa
Maria. Hines weighs nearly one-sev-
enth of ton. but he caught n man
who Is only half as heavy on his feet
in n hundred-yard handicap steeple-
chase at Point Isabel Sunday. The
handicap was two grips, loaded with
five gallons of mescal.
Customs Inspectors Hines. Will
liam Shears, J. c. White and Deputy
Collector Of Customs William Neale
went to Point Isabel on the morning
train Sunday armed with search
warrant naming the premises of Gen.
aro Trevino, suspected Of bootlegging
mescal.
As they alighted from the train
they saw Trevino run out of his
house, carrying two grips. The four
gave chase. One ran through the
house. while Hines ran around il, and,
according to eyewitnesses, cleared the
back fence like gazelle. Without
having to shoot or even draw his gun
he overlook the fleeing Trevino.
When Trevino was hailed back five
gallons Of mescal, in bottles, were
found in the two grips. In the house
were a jug and other bottles, holding,
all told, five gallons more.
The testimony when Trevino was
given hearing before United States
Commissioner Goodrich this morning
says nothing about the battleship run
ming down the launch. II does not
mention the fact that Mr.. Hines split
his hand and tore his breeches going
over the fence. Dry testimony leaves
out so many interesting phases of a
story.
Trevino was held under $500 bond
to appear before the grand jury on
charge of having ten gallons of
mescal in his possession. He claim
ed that it was for his own use. and
no proof was offered that he was
selling it, hearsay evidence being in
admissible.

that no German warship should fall

to sink the ships. There were nearly
