Powers May Solve Prob
lem of Peace.

uation without prejudice and with an
eye to present day realities was
stressed yesterday afternoon by DIR.

minister, guest of honor and principal
speaker before the National League

at the Mayflower Hotel
THE Chinese people feel that the
burden of foreign Interference is too
heavy to bear" DR.. SEE declared, land
threatens their very existence as a
nation.
1.-THE solution of the Chinese prob
lem by the powers. the placing Of their
relations with China on a firm and
lasting basis, can he brought about
only by frank and unqualified decla-
ration at once on the part OF the
powers regarding the termination Of

Cause of Resentment.
DR.. SEE described the sentiment in
China as "a practically universal feel

titled"
Action must be taken without de-
lay, he said, and stated that "the
time has come for the immediate and
complete removal by the powers of
their interference and control in
China's domestic affairs"
Contending that the powers have
admitted publicly that treaties made
In the past with China are 'anti-

reason Of the hesitation of the powers

She isn't large cat, but she is, certainly. feminist and oc- cupies a position of trust and i'm portance in the naton's government
 Mary prefers to work at night and sleep in the daytime. Her post of duty is that section of the ex- tensive Capitol basement which lies directly beneath the celebrated dome-the hub of one of the main wheels in the governmental ma chinery. There. the rats are plenti- full and Mary does well, earning not only good living but a repu- tation as good mouser.
 Other cats have similar assign ments in different parts of the old basement, but Mary seems to have the. most notable record. Consider ing the age of the basement and the humber of holes and crannies that offer harbor to rats. David Lynn, architect of the Capitol sees little likelihood that the staff of mousers will have a chance for some time to become lazy through lack of work.
 Many "experts' have tackled the Capitol's rat problem with poison, MT. Lynn recalls but none has been 50 successful as Mary and her col leagues.

 One of the dogs contracted a sore paw on the third day and St. God dard whipped a mocassin from his pocket and covered it, continuing the race within few seconds.
 St. Goddard's speed on the final lap probably was due to his desire to aid his brother who battled all the way with Brydges for second place. Leo started the third lap IA minutes behind Brydges and though he failed to oust his rival from second place he cut the margin to seven minutes. Emil got his brother placed directly behind him and acted as pacemaker for the youth.
 .Byrdges finished with six dogs. carrying one on his sled. He drove a hard race on the final stretch with the knowledge that his lead was being clipped minute by minute. It was his lead dog that saved him from losing his position. The dog. a pup. given him by the late Walter Coyne, famous musher. did the work of two ir the latter stage of the race.

with continual rebuffs.
"Why should we make our
selves trouble by putting out
thing like that?" the railroad
heads demanded. "PeopIe would

should be criticized for it. The

great scientist, lived long enough
to be received with honor at OK

terIy denounced.
He wrote to his friend Hooker:
at was queer to sit there and
hear doctrines you and were
damned for 81 years ago enun-
ciated as matters Of course, dis.
puted by no reasonable man."
Huxley was a rather handsome
man, and it would be a good
thing if his picture were hung in
modern business Offices in place
of some Of the efficiency notices
that now adorn the walls. 1t
would be a reminder that the one
greatest foe to efficiency is the
mind that knows it all, and that
no office can afford to turn away
from its doors the youth with the
new idea.
