ference are extremely hopeful that
he may be able to send message
to the conference soon. and even thas
it will be possible fo: h.na to deliver
his message in person. y.
The Presidents participation In the
conference, either directly or tnd!rect-
ly. would have, 1t Is felt by all three
groups. stimulating and decidedly
helpful effect. There 10 no l4kc!taood
that such participation would cause
a speeding-up tendency; II IL gensr-
ally believed the conference Ia pro-
ceeding now as rapidly As practicable
for logical and effectual, accomplish
ment. But the conferees are Of the
opinion that communication from
Mr.. Wilson during the present lull,
for instance, would revivify jaded
spirits and eradicate the tendency to
pessimism in some quarters.
Fear Agreement Impossible.
There was discussed last night and
this morning among delegates remain
ing in Washington over the week end
the fear voiced by individual conferees
that agreement could not be reached be-
tween the demands of labor, as express
ed by Samuel Gompers. and the prin-
c1ples OF industrial peace laid down by
the employers group. Further discus
sion arose over the plea Of labor for "a
conferences committee to arbitrate the
steel strike and perhaps the longshore-.
mems strike.
The general opinion appeared to be
that a compromise agreement can and
must be reached in both cases through
pressure brought to bear by the public's
representatives. II Judge Ebert H.
Gary of the public group will consent to
arbitration between the United States
Steel Corporation. OF which he is chair
man. and the strikers. a serious impedi-
ment to harmonious action by the con-
Terence in other matters will be removed,
It Is said.
Judge Gary went to New York yes

japan Now World Power.

Japan. as a world power. occupy
ing a place Of equality among the five
greater nations Of the earth. cannot
permit herself to be any longer fg-
nored, insulted or relegated to the
place OF inferior races and peoples.
Her people can no more be treated
with ignominy. BY our loyalty. our
industry, our spirit of sacrifice. our
intellectual alertness and our military
power. as well as by our remarkable
achievements in other ways, and
especially by our faithfulness to our
treaty obligations and our assistance
in the war, we have won for our
selves a foremost place among the
peoples of the world.
Japan is the only nation in eastern
Asia that has a settled and effective
form of government; she Is the only
power with an adequate army and
navy; she is the only oriental nation
educating practically her whole pop
ulation: she is the only oriental ma
ton trained and equipped for indus
trial expansion. Thus Japan is ready
to act her part rightly and Justly In
the leadership of East Asia.

Asks About English Ideals.

'The English speaking nations
have always boasted of their love
Of freedom, Of Justice. of sacrifice
for humanity. They are Japan's allies.
Let them now act upon their principles
in regard to Japan. II 1t be the mission
Of those who speak the English tongue
to give emancipation to oppressed races
and peoples, to make men free and keep
them free, then is 1t not their duty to
growth and health as q nation? Japan
has always sincerely and profoundly de-
sired the friendship of Britain and
America: she has always acted as such
"a friend). They have. on the whole,
been good friends of Japan. Can she
trust them to act more fully in the lines
of this friendship in seeing that she is
Justly treated territorially and racially?
We earnestly trust that this is 80.

Japan Asks Golden Rule.

Japan. Of course. does not shut her
eyes to the fact that her friends also
have their point of view; and she is
willing to trust them to see hers. But
since she desires nothing but Justice
and fair treatment. she cannot be ac-
cused of desiring to visit other peoples
with unjust and unfair treatment
She asks no more than the golden
rule, which Christian countries pro-
fess to respect; that they shall do to
her as they would wish her. under
similar circumstances. to do to them.
Japan is persuaded that, IL all the
parties concerned with the social
tion question, will act upon this prin-
ciple. the solution Of the problem will
be forthcoming, and Japan's friends
will prove friends in need and there
fore friends indeed"
have quoted quite. extensively
they are really significant in being
the expression Of the views of the
educated and Intelligent class Of
japanese. They are not blinded by
either ignorance or prejudice; they
have eyes wide open to the world
tions and ambitions which cannot be
lightly ignored or dismissed.
Those quotations are not in the ma
ture Of veiled Threats; they are calm
and dispassionate appeals for more
justice and humanity in dealing with
Japanese. They do not insist that
fall; they merely ask that heavenly
justice. mercy and freedom may be
to Japan and tho Japan

tionalism is to mean anything, 1t
must mean justice" say the Japan

GARDENIA, FLOWER OF ROMANCE
PLAYS STRIKING PART IN NEW
REX BEACH PICTURE.

The title of Rex Beach's newest
%photoplay is %vibrantly dramatic. 1t is
THE Crimson G~ardenia," a picturiza
ton of his widely read novel of the
same name which comes to the Strand
Theatre Monday next, Matinee and
evening, in which the flower plays a
striking part.
How this is accomplished is eX-
planned when it is known that one
character wears a gardenia as a mark
of identification in the Mardi Gras,
and another chooses the same device
by accident. The denouement of the
drama hinges upon the presence OF
the single flower.
Worn by a fugitive from justice
who plans to meet his cousin, whom
he has never seen, in the whirl of the
carnival, the gardenia is to single him
out. His mask will protect him. The
other man, a stranger in New Orleans,
decides to mingle with the jewellers for
excitement. His choice of a ~gardenia
is caused by accident. An aged wo-
man, selling her last flower, begs him
to buy it that she may take her tired
bones home to rest. He allows her
to pin it on his breast.
From this point the men are scarce
ly distinguishable, a circumstance that
brings about a series of extraordinary
ly thrilling moments. The fate OF one
of the wearers is inevitable, for it is
known that his life is sought by a des-
perate band of criminals. On which
mar they will wreak vengeance-this
is the question. 9
At the moment when one of the
maskers is stabbed comes the full sig
nificance of the title. Once immacu-
late white, the gardenia crimsons with
the blood of the victim.
But Rex Beach did not select the
flower at random. A gardenia became
the pivot of his amazing story for sew
eral reasons. Because the action
transpires in New Orleans it became
necessary to select a blossom typical
of the place. No rose would do nor
any colored flower, else its change to
crimson could not have been accom-
plished. And roses, of course, are in
digenous to any part of the country.
1t had to be a g%ardenia, as Rex
Beach explained to Reginald Barker,
who directed the perturbation at the
Goldwyn Studios, because the flower is
significant. 1t is a flower of romance.
Its heavy perfume is redolent of love
and intrigue and passion. Its ivory
Wilderness is impaired by a touch. By
all odds the gardenia was the flower
to suggest the elements in "The Grim
son Gardenia' and the author has han
died them compellingly.

Loss of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite. and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals a day for a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals when
meal time comes. Bear in mind that
at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give
the food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before a sec
ond meal is taken. Then if you eat
no more than you crave and take a
reasonable amount of outdoor excl
else every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When the
loss of appetite is caused by consti-
patton as is often the case, that should
be corrected at once. A dose of Cham
b%erlain's Tablets will do it.

SIXTEEN PERISH IN
LAKE AT MADISON, 5. D
Nine Bodies Are Recovered, Seven Per.
sons Are Missing and Sixteen
Are Saved.

Madison, S. D., July 5.-Nine bodies
have been recovered from Lake Madi-
son following the sinking of the pleas
ure boat Reliance in Lake Madison
early today. Seven others are missing.
The lake is being dragged in the effort
to recover additional bodies.
The boat went to the bottom when it
struck a stump about forty rods from
shore. 1t is estimated that t%hirty-two
persons were aboard when the acct
dent occurred. The boat was coming
from the south end of the lake with
a party Of independence day celebra-
tors.
High water has moved the shore
line of the lake inland and the old
shore line was marked by a row of
stumps and trees. The pilot Of the
craft, j. A. Erickson, is said to have
cut in too close to the shore when
rounding a point. When the boat
struck the stump a big hole was torn
in it's bottom and it sank rapidly.
Many Of the passengers leaped into
the water and sixteen succeeded in
reaching the shore.
The bodies recovered included those
of William Harris, Dell Rapids; Susie
and Esther Holmes, Howard; Marion
Warner, Howard; Earl and Pearl Win
kelplex, Coleman; Ruth Pickard, Cole
man; Lizzie Roach, Salem; and Ben
Olson, Carlton, the engineer.
Erickson aided in the resuce work.
saving the lives Of several of those who
leaped into the water. He was in
such a state of exhaustion this morn
ing that he was unable to describe
what happened.
The passengers were singing as the
boat sped through the smooth water
under the summer moon. Suddenly
there was a terrific jolt, a ripping
noise and water poured into the boat
In less than five minutes the craft
was under water and those on board
fighting to save their lives.
Ben Olson is said to have lost hil
life trying to ave passengers on the
boat who were unable to swim and
who were calling for help.
Persons on shore had difficulty in
aiding in rescue work. Rowboats put
out when cries fro mthe boat were
heard, but much time was lost in en-.
deavoring to pick away through the
stumps and trees that ~protrudec
through the water.
