By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press,
 Geneva. Jan. Sl,--The internation- al opium conference leaders failed to agree today on the problem of tho suppression of opium smoking in the Far East, as had been hoped, and Representative stephen c. Porter. for the United States, Viscount Cecil for England, and other of the dele gates decided to make, public state ments on their positions at this aft ernoon's. meeting of the joint com mission.
 None of the European powers with colonies in the Far East showed q willingness to accept the American view that the suppression measures should begin immediately, irrespec- tive Of the reduction of the illicit cultivation of opium in China and the heavy smuggling thence to ad- joining countries.
 The joint commission before which the statements of the leaders will be laid represent the first opium con- ference, held last fall, which was dsignated to deal with the opium smoking problem, and the second conference, still in existence, the function of which Is to regulate the international opium traffic
 The first conference failed to reach any solution of its problem. and the joint commission of the two confer- eences was appointed to take up the unfinished work.
 After hearing the statements the members of the commission will have chance to reflect on the situ- atton as explained by the various leaders.

AMBITION

We all have an aim in life, no
matter how rich, no matter how
poor, we all have an ambition.
But there are some that soon at
tain the utmost round because
thew are not afraid. But alas,
there are others perhaps they try
once, they do not succeed, what
then of their ambition? They
lock it in the privacy of their
hearts and only when they are
alone do they unlock that door
and dream-beautiful dreams.
And then? Their ambition dies,
it is like the fire, first all flame,
lthen only the embers.
Ambition should be made of
sterner stuff. And these poor
individuals never know the sweet
of victory because they are afraid,
and they are afraid because they
cannot forecast tomorrow. They
are as child afraid Of the dark.
They imagine that a hundred evils
overwhelm them with ruin.
Shadowy shapes loom in the fu-
ture-fear of debt of lost re-
putation, or a lost situation.
4 They crowd into timid souls and
fill them with panic. They are
phantoms conjurings Of the ina
gination. These fearsome images
: of the mind will not tarry long
with the brave.
But what of the men and womer
,, who taste of success? These are
the men and women who are not
afraid, who are not afraid tc
work, to hope, to wait, to pray
And you who are afraid. You
who are like ship lost unto sea,
Be masters of your own ships
Put your hands to the wheel
drive it safely through the roar
ing black waters, around the hid
den rocks. Drive it safely into
the deep blue waters that Leads
unto land. And you, you will
have won because you were not
afraid. You will have won be-
cause you were brave.
Remember you will never be-
come play thing in the lottery
of life when you are brave.
