TARIFF WAR LOOMS

 Concessions Demand

Washington, Sept. 16 Pt-Appar- cntly at an impasse in negotiations for q new most-favored- com mercial treaty to remove French tariff barriers against American goods, France and the United States today faced q difficult status in their governmental trade relation which in the viewpoint of some American officials verged toward the possible developm ent of a tariff war between the two countries.
 While it was declared at the state delay in the formulation of the American party 10 the rejection by France of the American proposal for the new commercial agreement, little solution of the situation was promised by the answer of this gov ernment. As the tariff act prohibits the negotiation of treaties on any basis in connection with tariffs eX- cept with equal treatment for all na- tions, this limitation upon the pow CTS of the president is expected to prevent acceptance of the French proposals.
 The French communication was withheld from publication hy the department rder the rule of cour- t"sy that requires opportunity for simultaneous publication of such communications by the originative government. But. although the Washington officials had no oppor- tunity for detailed consideration of the note, astonishment was indcat- ed by them that the French foreign office was not fully advised as to

Japan's New Capitol's
Skeleton Completed

The new capitol building, which is
to house the Parliament of the Jap
anese empire, with offices and all the
paraphernala of Washington or
Westminster, has reared it's some
what unimposing frame above the
heights. Its skeleton stands naked in
its wind-driven ribs--a vast embryonic
structure which this week welcomed
thousands of persons bidden to the
celebration OF its completion. From
north TO south the building that per-
haps 10 years from now win be the
legislative home of the only empire
of the east will be about 500 feet and
facing east it will overlook Toxic Bay
and the business section. Completed
its bare bones clad in marble and
granite, with the central dome, or
tower, filled out to less meager pro-
portions, the new capitol may rival
thu stately government structures of
western empires and republics and at
the same time be a feature of Toxic,
original and artiStically worthy of the
Land of the Rising Sun and the
architects of Japan.

Most important of the fairs in North
Africa is the native carpet market of

Kairwan, ancient religious metropolis

full mosques, including the Berber
mosque in which several strands of

the third day of the greatest Mussul-

their tents or villages and make their
way to the city on foot or camelback.
When not admiring the carpets on
exhibit in the holy city's shops they
pray in the mosques or seek the native
dance places to forget the manifold
cares of life.

were broken up and when old silver
of unparalleled rarity and beauty was
for the first time offered to the gem
eral public in large quantities for sale,
Mr.. Lemon enlarged his collecting.
Every fine piece of silver brought to
this country is a material enrichment,
not because of It's weight in metal,
but on account Of its fine workman
ship which sets an example and in
spires similar fineness in design. Those
who are familiar with fine things in
most instances are unwilling to take
those less good, therefore the exhibit
ton of such things tends to elevate
taste, to encourage better production.
Because of the pains taken by Eng
land to maintain fine quality in sill
yer production, establishing standard
and requiring all to come up to it IN
order to be hallmarked, English silver
more than maintains its value. 1t Is
not a question of age, but of work
manship, finish, design. These are the
qualities that make English silver
worth while and rightfully place 1t
among works of art. Furthermore,
there is a close alliance between our
own early American silver and that
made in England cotemporaneously
or previously.
The old idea that art is merely
matter of painting and sculpture is
rapidly vanishing and. instead, the
people generally throughout America
are realizing that art is a matter OF
everyday life, that it enters into the
design and manufacture of those
things which are commonly used. To
give further emphasis to such con.
viction, this exhibition of the Brainard
