WHICH is cRusoE's lsLAHD7
Opinion Seems to Favor Tobaoo Above
the Claims Made BY Adherents Of
Juan Fernandez.

For many years Juan Fernandez, a
Chilean island Off the eastern coast Of
South America. was known as Cru
soe's island. because another adven-
turer had spent five years there in
solitude, and 1t was thought for some
time that Defoe had recorded this
hermit's experience. But following
Crusoes directions that he landed on
an Island in n latitude of IL degrees
nearer the mouth of the Orinoco river,
| and In sight of the Island of Trinidad
| one comes upon the Island of Tobago.
the only one answering the descrip-
| ton.
An interesting discovery which
gave prominence to Tobago as the
real Crusoe's island occurred some
years ago, when the skeleton Of a
goat was unearthed in n cave on the
island. This coincided remarkably
with Crusoe's statement that he
found dying goat in a hillside cave
and later buried 1t there. HCrusoe's
goat" became for time an object Of
great popular interest and figured as
prominent exhibit at the Chicago
Worlds fair.
Tobago's failure to obtain greater
recognition of its Importance as the
"only authentic Robinson Crusos,
island" Is doubtless due to the fact
that IL is retiring little island, con-
cerned chiefly with its plantations and
trade. Leaving Crusoe out altogether,
Tobago has had an eventful history,
from the time it was discovered by Co
lumbus. on his third voyage, until Eng
land took 1t from France In 1903, and
started to turn It into profitable col
ony.

Senator Borah on the granting
of Sbantung to Japan: "There is
not a senator who defends it on
the ground of right. There is not
senator who defends it on the
ground of justice. There is not a
senator who undertakes to put
under it a basis of morality. There
is not senator but regrets it is
here. The President regrets it.
The people of the United States
regret it. If it could be known
that the American conscience was
clean and clear of this damned
spot which will stain her honor
for all time, there would be an ex-
hilaration Of the public mind
which has not been felt since the

NOT ALL INDULGE IN KISS
Many People Know Nothing Of oscu-
Iation, at Least as Masculine
Form Of Greeting.

The kiss. which appears constantly
In Semitic and Aryan antiquity, as in
the Book of Genesis, 1.-THE Odyssey"
and in Heroditus' description of the
Persians of his time kissing one an
other, and which is still prevailing
even among men In France and the
Slavic countries, relates writer in
the Louisville Courier-Journal, seems
to be unknown over the entire world,
where the prevailing salute is that Of
snuffing or smelling which belongs to
the Polynesians, Malays, Burmese and
other Chinese, Mongols, ETC., extending
thence eastward to the Eskimo and
westward to Lapland, where Eynnaeus
saw relatives saluting by putting their
noses together.
Among the manners and customs Of
the French allies in France. which
most American soldiers "over there"
saw for the first time, nothing prob
ably seemed stranger to them than the
practice of kissing among men.
As for the custom of kissing men on
both cheeks. that has come down from
the days when young French noble
men. about to be knighted for some
valiant deed. spent "a hours in soli-
tude and prayer and then came forth.
knelt. received the stroke of the sword
across their backs and were kissed by
the knight who was comforting
knighthood Napoleon, when he formed
the Legion of Honor, eliminated many
of the old customs. keeping the touch
of the sword and the kiss.
