Japanese Nuns

Near Tokufuji. Japan. is Sennyujl,
a group of buildings noted as the place
of interment Of several of the mikados
during the Kamakura and Tokugawa
periods. writes a correspondent. The
graves are not shown; they are APP
parently very unpretendlng, quite I'M
like the gorgeous mausoleums OF the
Shotgun dynasty, but the place Is worth
visiting. Near the gate, passed
group Of shaven-pated nuns, their de-
nuded SUBMITS glistening In the Sun
not walking with demurely downcast
eyes telling their beads, but with jolly
laughter telling each other some joke.
Buddhist nunship appears to be little
more than a cheerful REIMBURSEMENT
of domestic and economic anxieties;
though one would think they must feef
uncomfortably cool In the winter. The
extensive grounds Of Sennyuti are
beautifully kept. There Is wide
main walk lined with expresses with
sidepaths leading to various shrines;
all are covered with granite sand; at
the end is a similarly sanded court-
yard about $50 feet square, with a
screen running along one side; the
roofs are boarded with cylindrical
tiles stamped at the end with the 10
petaled chrysanthemum.

FOR WORLD CITY
Various Sites Proposed for AM
bilious Project.
Idea, Put Forward by American, Is
to Form international Clearing
House of Information,

New Jersey Hawaii, Cuba, the en-
Sirons Of Paris, the Riviera, Belgium,
Switzerland, Italy, and Greece have
been proposed as sites for an interna-
uonal city, upon the plans OF which
Hendrix Anderson, an American, now
residing In Rome, has been cOIlabor-
ating for the better part of the last
IS years. Such city. according to
Mr.. Anderson's projects. would not be
the adaptation to international pur-
poses Of a town already existing but
would be built new and so would con
tain only those ed.tces necessary for
Its aims and maintenance There
would be, among other buildings, an
international court Of justice, which
Mr. Anderson willingly comedies would
not do away with war. but would at
least lessen the possibility Of 1t, and
which would be attended by perma-
nent representatives from all nations.
There would also be an international
bank, an international medical con-
gress, which would always be in ses-
sion, and through which all new dis
cOyeries In medicine, hygiene and sani-
tatlon would at once be disseminated
throughout the world; an information
al press building, and an international
chamber of commerce and labor. Each
government would likewise have IT'S
own building, which would offer TO rep
resentatives of the other nations the
opportunity Of examining all the
works of progress made by each coun-
try. The city would then be an In
ternational clearing house Of infOrmA-
ton, and from its establishment Mr..
Anderson declares, only good results
could accrue.
The plans Of the city have been ex-
hibited at the Smithsonian institute al
Washington and extensive literature
concerning its economic, political and
structural possibilities has been sent
TO the presidents and soverelgns OF
practically all the countries In the
world. The estimated cost OF such n
city is $5O0,OOO,O0O, but the net an
nual gain TO each nation participating
In Its advantages and facilities would
be S21,000,0O0, according to the Calico
lations In the tracts which have been
sent out.
Lectures will be made upon the
project this summer. In the United
States, and the Sorbonne In Paris has
offered a chair for three years for
conferences on II. The plan has re-
ceived the appreciation of Pope Bene-
dict XIV, and both Belgium and Greece
have offered land grants for the site
of the proposed city.

REPLY READ IN THE SENATE
Lodge Puts Into the Record the Reply
OF Former President and Secretary
Houston Settling the Question
Definitely.

WashingtOn.-Re Replies made by for.
her President Wilson to Lloyd George.
the British premier, and Secretary OF
the Treasury Houston to Austen Cham.
berIain, British chancellor of the ex
chequer, to their proposals for the
general cancellation of the allied war
debts were read into the record Of the
senate by Senator Lodge.
THE government of the United
States" President Wilson wrote, lis
not prepared to consent to the remIs-
sion of any part of the debt of Great
Britain TO the United States"
1T is highly improbable" his letter
stated, further, that either the con.
gress OF popular opinion Of this coun.
try, will ever permit cancellation Of
any part OF the debt OF the allied
governments as an inducement to-
wards practical settlement Of the
reparation claims"
This statement was in reply to the
suggestion of Lloyd George that the
country consent to the remission OF
the debts to allow the scaling down
OF the German indemnity.
The United States" President VIII.
son declared. entirely agrees with
the British government that the fix
ing of Germany's Preparations obliga-
lions Is a cardinal necessity for the
renewal 10 the economic life of Eu-
rope and would prove most helpful in
the interests of peace throughout the
world; however, 1t fails to perceive of
the logic of the suggestion to the eff.
feet that the United States shall pay
part OF Germany's Preparations obliga-
ton, or that 1t shall make a gratuity
to the allied governments to induce
them to fix such obligation at the
amount within Germany's capacity to
pay" Overtures for the cancellation of
the debts, which were made to the
president at the peace conference aud
summarily rejected. were recalled by
the president In his letter.
The view of the United States" ha
repeated. has not changed, and it is
not prepared to consent to the remis-
sion of any part of the debt OF Great
Britain to the United States"
In his letter Of rejection to the
British chancellor of the exchequer,
Secretary Houston declared the prop
osition he advanced did not involve
mutual sacrifices" and would vir-
tually leave the United States to bear
the brunt OF the staggering financial
burden of the war.
Pointing out that a cancellation of
the debts would not involve any losses
to Great Britain because her loans had
been made mostly with money adj
Vanced by this country, Secretary
Houston asserted that In the last an

sburgh.-Prisoners in the west
ern penttentiary here broke all bounds
Of discipline, fired four buildings and
for time kept the institution in an
uproar, while prison guards, deputy
sheriffs and policemen, reinforced by
armed citizens, battled TO put down
the disorder. Six conviets were shot
and two others cut in the battle. The
prison officials said three or four OF
the wounded probably would die.
The outbreak, timed to start with
the ringing Of the first fire gong,
began in the dining room where the
convicts sought to detract the at
tention of guards from the fires, prison
officials said Alarms sounded from
four places in the institution almost
simultaneously when guards learned
the prisoners had fired the buildings
with any material available.
Some 500 prisoners had just taken
thoir seats in the big dining room,
where one of them sent a soup bowl
careennig down one Of the long tables.
Instantly the room was in an up.
roar, for at the same moment the fire
gong sounded an alarm from the con
struction shop, the linen shop, the
kitchen and the chapel
The guards in the dining room tried
TO quell the outbreak, but the thor
oughly maddened prisoners pelted
them with tableware rnd cutlery, all
the time shrieking and bowling. The
fire department, finding the blaze was
belond its control, called the city
firemen, while riot calls were sent in
for the police.
Meanwhile the guards in the dining
room had regained, in part, their con-
troll and forced some OF the men back
to their cells, but 200 or more dashed

by other guards, backed into a build.
ing and ran for the top of tier OF
cells. From this vantage point they
pelted the guards, now reinforced by
every available man in the prison,
with bricks torn from the top of the
wall. Deputy sheriffs and police from
every precinct in the city soon added
to the fighting force within the en-.
closure, and it was not long before
the prisoners had been chased from
the wall to their cells. They signal
lied their reincarceratoin by breaking
the glass in the windows, and Shrek
ing and bowling to the thousands OF
persons gathered in the streets and or
the housetops nearby.
Within two hours the fire was un.

ings had been destroyed, with an es.
timated loss in excess of $4,000.
