TRY TO PLEASE
 SOVIET ENYOYS
 IN GENOA MEET
Lloyd George Feeding Them in Different Ways-May Win Yet. Compromise Is Wanted on Plans to Revive Trade With Russia.

GENOA, April 15.-The Russian So- yiet and the French delegates, after their spectacular clashes yesterday and the day before, met today at the same table for a conference lasting throughout the day The Belgium, Italian and British delegates also par ticipated, and the friendly atmosphere seemed so real today that Prime Min ister Lloyd George invited all of them to be his guests at luncheon.
 The conference is now attempting to carry out the most vital part of the program, and the conciliatory atti- tude of the French delegates today gave rise to a feeling that con- promise may be effected, notwith- standing the Russia program, which is diametrically opposed to that of the Big Four"
 Premier Lloyd George Is in good temper and keeps the conferees out of many clashes.

Residents Fleeing to the High Ground; Damage to Homes Enormous.
Situation Is Critical in Wide Area of Valley Regions Back East.

CAIRO, H., April 15.-The Grand Tower levee of the Mississippi rlV- CT broke suddenly early this morn ing and "The Father of Waters spreading swiftly with roar and 6 rush as of many Niagaras spread over 5000 acres of rich farm lands, now under crop, and ere long the wa ter had reached an average depth Of eleven feet.
 While the Grand Tower levee break was not expected, the people were prepared for the emergency and all escaped, it is believed, to higher ground. There were many thrilling rescues of livestock. The horses, COWS and dogs seemed to understand the calamity and were in terror of death. They swan to floating debris and tried to climb up, and many were haltered and pulled to higher ground by the flee ing farmers, all of whom were sup piled with boats, tarpaulins and ev- erything essential in such an emerg 9ncy

BLUM DWELL STORE ADDING
 BIG ADDITION
Second Largest Now in Alaska and Premier
 in Real Service.

When the Blum-O'Neill Company opens for use the Clayson building addition to the big store, the merch- andise space will be double what it is at present and many new con- yeniences will be added. The new addition will be used for the furn- iture department, with stock that will lose nothing in comparison with the best outside houses.
 There will be, also, special ship ping room for deliveries at the rear and hereafter the front doors need not be used for this purpose.
 An ornamental wide archway is to be cut in the wall between the present store and the addition, and the grocery shelving will be en- larged and extended at the rear by the removal of the present balcony The new storage apartment will have a comodious balcony all the way around
 The improvement will give the Blum-O'Neill Company 100 feet frontage, probably the largest Of any department store in Alaska, and with the enlarged stock and increased fa- cilities this will be the second larg- est store of the kind in the Terri tory.
 The Second street warehouse vii be discontinued after May 1 and the stock will be moved to the new ad- dition.
 MT. O'Neill said today it was the firms purpose to supply everything wanted in the furniture and house furnishing line, and at prices tha will bear comparison with any O these outside.
 | Anticipating the development O Cordova and of Alaska in general Messrs, Blum and O'Neill are plan ming to expand their enterprise un til it attains the premiership fo1 the Territory in size and volume O business.
 "Theres nothing like having plen ty of space" said MT. O'Neill, "s' that the stock may be displayed properly, and so that patrons oan b. served without crowding."

ka and Hawaii. Did you take the tumble that came
 your way
 With a resolute heart and cheerful, Or hide your face from the light of day With craven heart and fearful? o. troubles a ton, or a troubles an ounce,
 Or a trouble is what you make it, And it isn't the fact that you're hurt
 that counts,
 But only, how did you take it? You're beaten to earth Well, Well,-
 what's that?
 Come up, with a smiling face. It's nothing against you to fall down But to lie there-that's disgrace! The harder you're thrown, why the
 higher you'll bounce,
 Be proud of your blackened eye It isn't the fact that you're licked that
 counts,
 It's how did you fight, and why. And though you be done to death, what
 then?
 If you've battled the best you could, If you've played your part in the world
 of men,
 Why, the Critic will call it good. Death comes with crawl, or comes
 with a bounce,
 And whether he's slow or spry, It isn't the fact that you're dead that
 counts,
 But only, how did you die?"
 Dr. Youngs address was eloquent and impressive throughout, and rem dered doubly beautiful by the several poems, recited in manner that thrilled every heart. Of the meaning of life, he quoted: Life, I know not what thou art, But know that thou and I must part, And when and where and how we met, own, to mes a mystery yet. Life, we've been long together, Through pleasant and through cloudy weather, 'Tis hard to part when friends are dear,
 Perhaps twill cost a sigh, tear. Then steal away, give little warning, Take thine own time, Say not Goodnight but in Some brighter cline bid me good morning." After the funeral memorial services the body was removed to the Wolking undertaking parlors, to await shipment tomorrow on the steamship Alameda, destined to the decedent's family home at Fitchburg, Mass. The Elks and the Pythians will escort the body to the Ocean Terminal.

 FOR JOE WHITE
 IS UNEXAMP
All Business H ous e Closed, All antilles
 Are Represented.

All business houses and all families and firms of Cordova were represent ed at the memorial services yesterday in honor of the memory of Joseph White, the popular young railroad man who passed away Sunday evening, after being fatally injured in an acci- dent at Mile 63 on the Copper River and Northwestern Railway Sunday morning.
 The hush of respect prevailed over the entire city.
 The pall-bearers for the Knights of Pythias and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, each being member of both orders, in which the decedent also was an honored member, were: J. A. Nicolet, Charles Johnson, Ned Pike, c. A. Edmonds, P. E. Nettleton and Le Roy Badden They were railway fellow workers of the lamented brother.
 The ushers in the Empress theater, were the obsequies were held, were F. B. Tracy and I. D. Bogart.
 The Copper River train arrived ahead of time, at noon, by special ar rangement of Superintendent Corser, giving all an opportunity to pay the final tribute to the memory of the de- parted.
 The Rev. Eustace P. ziegler of St. Georges Episcopal church delivered the opening and closing prayers from the beautiful church service.
 The Rev. R. s. Nickerson of the First Presbyterian Church read the Scriptural lesson and assisted in con- ducting the music. The Presbyterian choir of twelve trained voices was under the direction of Mrs. T. N. Hub bert Miss Elsa Thomson presided at the great pipe organ
 The Elks and Pythians attended in body.

 The Rev. s. Hall Young, D. D., Grand Chaplain of the Pioneers of Alaska and Superintendent of the Presbyter- ian missions in the Northland, deliv- cred the eulogy and sermon. He did not take a text, but spoke of the i'm mortality of the virtues and sterling qualities of the decedent.
 He praised all men who qualify for and maintain their membership in the great fraternities, which are such a practical help in time of trouble. He said he had officiated at many fun erals in Cordova and throughout Alas ka, but none had evoked a more i'm pressive tribute of love and sorrow than this one in honor of Joseph White, who was beloved by everyone who knew him. The three immortal traits of his character and personal ity-manliness, generosity and kindli ness-were dwelt upon.
 His courage was known best to his fellow-workers. He had no fear o1 death and was spiritually prepared te meet 1t.

NOT GOING TO POT

Nobody need get excited about the
predictions and prophecies of the end
of time, or even of general disaster
to the human race. No man knoweth
the day nor the hour, and no amount
of mysterious guessing at obscure
passages of scripture is worth hang.
If God had intended men to know
when the end of time should be He
would have told them flat. If He does
not intend them to know He would not
have had it ducked away in some
place where it would take a prophet
to find it. There is one thing about
the Bible that so many people seem
to forget. 1t is that the way is so
plain that even wayfaring man,
laundering along in ignorance and
carelessness, can understand if he
wishes. Most of the talk about the
fulfllment of this and that prophecy
in the past, and especially in the fu-
ture, is pure bunk.
II this is true about scripture inter-
probation, how much more true is it
about the ordinary every day calamity
bowling? Always there have been
men so pessimistic that they expect
ed the crash to come any time. And
even if there is not to be an immed ate
crash of worlds and wreck of matter.
the han race at least is deter;orat-
ing 50 fsst that it viii soon be bald
hcad 4, ,;nock -kneed, double jointcd,
spindln, footless, soulless and
minGlesS. The average calamity howl
er thinks that min ty-nine per cent
of the people ought to be in Jail now.
In sly comment in 1850 Emerson
said at is sad that the world is in a
state Of bankruptcy, that the world
owes the world more than the world
can pay, and ought to go into chan
Gerry and be sold"
In the mean time the old world
rocks along, the human race treads
water and STAYS afioat,

The Cow and Dad

IA True Story.l
IL was only yesterday evening
When dai got out the calf
To take II 10 pasture
And g0.... you'd-a-laugheG.
or course twas hard on dad you know
Or sEat ;. detected
That he was furious with rage.
What else could be expected?
He took i over TO stay till fall
You see the calf was grown
And that il had a lot of strength
Was very plainly shown.
Dad made me start il off for him,
| drove her TO the road,
And as | journeyed TO the house,
A streak Of fun he showed.
She stopped and planted firmly,
Her four feet on the ground.
Dad took tantrum, oh Gee Whiz,
He just went round and round,
The heifer wouldn't go at all.
She had a stubborn spell,
We all ran out in single file,
With good advice to yell.
Ma says; "Now John don't hurt your
self.
Nor likewise hurt the cow"
But dad just beat and kicked and
reared
For he was furious now.
And ! says, dad just bring her back;
| wouldn't try to go.
You'll only just wear out yourself.
For you can't bulge her | know"
But sister only laughed and laughed,
Just like she was so glad
That dad could not control the calf.
And that it made him mad.
Ma says to dad, Just wait John,
DEAR"
tShe was talking kindly now
For she realized she had to
Or else he'd kill that cow.)
She says: "Just bring the heifer back
And take the COW along"
Dad would not scquiesce to this,
You see his will is strong.
Well, at last she took a step or two.
And I'm pretty sure she limped.
But dad meant to take her over there,
Or die in the attempt.
Then all at once an idea
Stepped into his mind
He left off pulling from the front
And began to twist behind.
He got a hold that heifer's tail.
She surely left out then,
The length Of dads most widest steps
Would measure six-foot-ten!
A truck in front was speeding;
They went so very fast,
With dad a-bringing up the rear
This first class truck they passed,
And as they vanished out of sight,
We all just had to laugh,
We made the old Home Farm" lust
ring
For perhaps an hour and half.
-Prunella.

OUR OLD FRIEND THE cop

The word "eop" originated in Lon.
don, from the initials of constable OF
police" This interesting bit of in.
formation comes from Enright, New
York Citys police commissioner.
Enright has 10000 policemen under
him, 1000 being traffic cops The
other 1900 guard 100000 people
and $l0,00O000,00O of treasure.
This probably is an average for the
nation, on which basis each American
policeman keeps an eye on 636 people
and 100000. They are not infalli-
BILE, but they do fairly good job Of
it, considering the ground they cover.
A polite, pleasing, good-looking cop
is a joy forever. There is one thing
we ought to do for the boys, however,
and that is quit making them wear
clothes as heavy as blankets in the
summer time. A policeman with a
winter suit on in summer, in addition
to his load of artillery, is man who
must suffer and consequently lose his
temper good deal. They are sub
ject to enough strain without this.
